"YouGov has ICE at 39% favorable, 52% unfavorable...But this top line really understates the intensity of public backlash to ICE and its tactics. In February 2025, just 19% of Americans held a strongly unfavorable view of ICE. Today, 40% do." open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

ICE relies on companies to help carry out its thuggery — we need to go after these private sector collaborators Here are our suggestions for corporate targets and campaign tactics www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Worried about increased surveillance of syllabi & course curricula at your institution? Check out these resources from the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom to integrate in your course, such as language for academic freedom to put in your syllabus, a teaching module, and a reading list.

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12 ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12 ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14 Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23

Does the Vatican still excommunicate people? If so, I think I found a top contender.

In Portland, Border Patrol agents shot a couple. The Feds claim they were under attack, witnesses say otherwise. AG is suing. This is from the front page of @oregonian.com

Artificial Intelligence? More like Anti-Intelligence. Gen AI makes people dumber and generates misinformation that erodes truth.

📢 No to genocide. No to war. No to ICE. Trillions of dollars poured into occupying communities from DC to Palestine, Chicago to Venezuela while people suffer, starving, unable to make rent or get medical treatment.

Across the country, people are taking to the streets to honor—and demand justice for—Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old US citizen who a federal immigration agent shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Every single ICE agent needs to be rounded up and charged for their complicity in the agency’s crimes. No less than Nuremberg-style hearings for the Burger Reich’s gestapo.

It's January 2026. Welcome to the UNC system, where you can soon expect an army of Nick Shirleys to show up in classrooms and harass faculty and students thanks to their dimwitted misunderstanding of publicly searchable syllabi. Or as Peter Hans puts it, this is how we rebuild public trust!

Bari Weiss's censoring 60 Minutes in the name of "building trust" is of a coin with Peter Hans's imposing a pro-doxxing syllabus policy in the name of "rebuilding public trust." They are both the gaslighting actions of political operatives sent to destroy the institutions they lead.

The UNC System has published the new syllabus policy. It's every bit as bad as you would expect, & as we warned. Poorly thought out. An invitation to bad actors to dox faculty. And serves no educational purpose that could not already be met with existing tools. www.northcarolina.edu/apps/policy/...

“The United States made this person into a child soldier, and now is experiencing what I think is one of the most horrifically bright-line cases of imperial blowback that we’ve seen throughout the 'war on terror.'"

The Trump admin is out here doing more to defund the police than Dems ever did.

AI proponents argue that AI is inevitable and that not using AI will put you at a disadvantage. Such arguments essentially boil down to: “Everyone else is using it. You should, too.” But that’s based on the bandwagon fallacy. Just because something is popular doesn’t mean it is right or good.

Ah, yes, because we can’t do anything that might cause property values to decrease. The line must always go up! 🙄

Increasing temperatures are already killing huge numbers of people. A ProPublica and @us.theguardian.com analysis found that Trump’s “America First” agenda is expected to add substantially to the toll, with the vast majority of deaths occurring outside the U.S. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

The American Association of University Professors (@aaup.org) released a new report documenting an escalating assault on faculty governance structures across the country, with state legislatures in multiple states moving to strip faculty senates of their authority and independence.

We’ve become accustomed to believing that there is no other way except through violence. But that is patently false.

The left does not have enough no civic-engagement infrastructure. We connects the dots between the No Kings marches and the nuts-and-bolts local engagement that must happen every other day in order to sustain a win.
