Meanwhile…

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

80,000+ Salvadorans (mostly men from impoverished communities) have been imprisoned in similar conditions since 3/22. Horrific what these Venezuelan migrants lived through; horrific that so many Salvadorans are still there; painful to see people celebrate it all as a win www.bbc.com/news/resourc...

Albuquerque New Mexico Hands Off rally. #handsoff #NewMexico #Albuquerque

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Demonstrations took place across the country, uniting a myriad of criticisms of the Trump administration under one message: "Hands off."

Hands Off event in Rancho Bernardo, CA today, about 2000 people attended! It is home to over 3700 55+ residences. When many who wanted to participate would not go to San Diego this was set up last minute. People were so grateful to have this locally available.

Hands off protest in SLC, UT!!! So proud of Utah for the first time in a long time! Just under 10,000 protestors, biggest protest I have seen in Utah! And there were 7 more across the state

“Hands Off rally draws a big crowd in Davenport, Iowa Hundreds of people packed the park and hundreds more lined Brady Street. Crowd estimates are chancy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was 1,000-1,500 people. I’ve seen others who say it was as high as 2,000.” This is big for Davenport, Iowa

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

I just heard from two different people that someone is impersonating me on this app and I can't find examples of it. Just clarifying that this is my only account on here and I have not messaged a single person ever on this app

Reports reveal "serious instances of racism, as well as evidence of surveillance and policing of students and faculty engaging in their constitutionally protected right to free speech and protest—penalizing the advocacy of Palestinian rights and speech on Palestine." www.latimes.com/opinion/lett...

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

Pro-Palestine protesters at UCLA who were attacked by a mob allege that the school did little to stop nearly five hours of violence.

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back. The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

🧵 IN SHOCKING MOVE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY FIRES UNION PRESIDENT ONE DAY BEFORE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN, IN FURTHER CRACKDOWN ON FREE SPEECH

NEW EMAIL FROM COLUMBIA ADMIN: DHS agents were in two university residences tonight — with two warrants "I am writing heartbroken to inform you that we had federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in two University residences tonight." No arrests made.

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

Musk's rhetoric about Social Security and SNAP as "money magnets for illegal immigrants" is no different from the "welfare queen" rhetoric of the 1980s. He's pushing to gut a system that provides already inadequate (but very much needed) help to many by tapping into popular bigotries.

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...
