This is one of those moments where Trump's stupidity highlights the basic contradictions in U.S. gov as it exists outside of constitutional principles. Quite obviously the Constitution doesn't allow him to destroy other countries but that's pretty much what GWB was allowed to do in Iraq.

On Thursday, a single dedicated volunteer gave our unhoused neighbors: 56 servings of Creamy Cajun Mac, water, clothes, socks, gloves, beanies, tents, blankets, hand warmers, et al. We rely on donations to feed people Venmo- pdxfeedthestreets Cashapp- FTSPortland #MutualAid #PDX #MutualAidPdx

Very excited that the stunning movie THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is coming to USC via the School of Cinematic Arts. I'll be in conversation after the screening with director Kaouther Ben Hania, moderated by my colleague Tara McPherson. (1)

Now unlocked: we speak with Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Craig Gilmore about the rapid escalation of police forces and carceral logics on US streets and why abolition is the only way soundcloud.com/deathpanel/t...

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

I've been appreciating all the work @gelliottmorris.com is doing to critique the discourse about median voter theorem and explore anti-systemic swing voters. We need it!

doesnt matter who sweeps encampments. cops, social workers, mickey mouse. a sweep is a sweep. a sweep is a sweep. importantly, they don't "work" as a way to house people and have a tremendously bad balance of tradeoffs. effectively more of a cruel meme among politicians than a thoughtful policy.

Conservative and reactionary centrist media is trying to set up a narrative in which GLP-1s are some kind of existential threat to body positivity and fat activism. It's bullshit. If you want to lose weight, go for it. But not everyone can or wants to — and they deserve equal treatment regardless.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

In the early morning, ICE raided the elementary school bus stop during the pick-up time, causing panic among the 4th and 5th graders. This unfortunate event took place outside the Woodland Village Apartments in Lindenwold, New Jersey.

No one's "immigration status" should make them fearful of their country, in their own neighborhood. The government is terrorizing children and families. This illegal, abhorrent policy must stop.

Here is actual data on Trump's handling of immigration: www.gelliottmorris.com/i/159456631/... POTUS is hitting a new all-time low every day recently, with (dis)approval of Trump's handling of immigration overall converging on his handling of deportations, which has been underwater since last April

On this day in 1960, students from Nashville's Black colleges launched anti-segregation protests and later braved violent attacks by white mobs.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

This is the definitive point by Chris Hedges, re: Noam Chomsky and Epstein. Chomsky's entire value as a public intellectual is to know what people like Epstein are up to and why. Him feigning ignorance is absurd, and if it were true it would undermine the rest of his career.

Again, these state policies were sparked and fueled by the idea that the taboo against racism was *so* strong it represented an existential and chilling threat to free inquiry.

If you have not been to one of the remains of the US concentration camps, find a way to put it on your list. You will feel things. Very little remains of Camp Amache, in Southeastern Colorado, except on recreated dorm and a watchtower and a handful of placards.

Amazing thread! Also a reminder that the days after the halftime show are now where white Americans get a bottom-up multi-cultural education. Threads like this are popular education.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Evaluating whether American voters have "moved to the left/right" on immigration is always a futile effort for pundits because Americans are overwhelmingly clueless about how U.S. immigration policy works. It's a vague vibes-based spectrum between "weak" and "tough" enforcement for them.

I’m increasingly of the view that NYC’s campaign finance reform (small donor matching) was key to Mamdani’s victory. Yet popularists and many Dem elites call small donors “extreme” and prefer the large donor dominance that wouldn’t led to Cuomo.

A group of Buchanan High School Students marched two miles to Willow Station in protest of the recent immigration crack-down and fatal shootings of protestors in Minneapolis — joining in the many recent student-led protests across Fresno County. gvwire.com/2026/02/06/b...

This is my friends’ 73-year-old dad. He was protesting against DHS’s murder of Alex Pretti when ICE goons broke his jaw in three places with a flashbang grenade. “I wanted to go [back to protest] this morning. … they need to be told that what they’re doing ain’t going to happen here.”

“Young voices erupted in waves in front of Seattle City Hall as hundreds of students from 17 Seattle high schools walked out of class Thursday to protest immigration enforcement” www.seattletimes.com/education-la...

It’s in the Seattle Times www.seattletimes.com/education-la...

Video from Seattle Journalist, @hannahkrieg.bsky.social Follow her for local news. #studentwalkout #walkout #seattle

Not seeing anything on my feed about the massive youth walkout in Seattle against ICE. My nephews sending videos and it looked big!

bills have risen by orders of magnitude. i see posts on here that are like, "well, electric bill is $800 💀" all of the discussion of 'affordability' that doesn't start from *this* reality for hundreds of millions of people in this country isn't a serious policy discussion.

Genuinely interested to know. Is it lost Post subscribers (and those of other papers) that are keeping NY Times afloat? I get the impression that the Times’ “wins” in this kind of environment and it’s wildly distorted the Times’ incentive structure.

Serious question. What’s stopping the national labor unions from funding/subsidizing a labor centric daily newspaper (maybe with some local branches)? Social movements can only to so much when they operate without dues paying members. But organized labor, imo, could…

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

THOU SHALT NOT PROTECT PEDOS!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SENDER’S NAME REDACTED?!?

We are the point in politician-speak where if you hear the phrase common sense you know what the speaker is saying is utter bullshit.

Finished the opening salvo in this urgent @bostonreview.bsky.social forum. Great piece by @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social and @adambonica.bsky.social. Very excited to read the responses. www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Anne Frank likely died in a typhus epidemic that spread through the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp History rhymes, it rhymes Close the camps, set fire to the prisons

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

the feds gassed kids and old people in portland today

We can do big things. We can build big projects again. It's in our power.

The march in Chicago has continued on past Trump Tower and is turning back south into downtown. The snow is coming down hard now. As it does, the column chants, "say it once and say it twice, we do not fuck with ICE"
