Bad Bunny's historical advisor is an assistant professor at UW-Madison.

Hell of a flex for your tenure file.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

this is a great point and to that end: why isn't Anthropic building a salesforce competitor or whatever? Surely they could with the magic of Claude Code based on all the crap I've read

@samsteindc.bsky.social on Mike Johnson sowing distrust in our elections:

“It's hard to imagine a more irresponsible statement from the Speaker of the House than that…Openly saying, I don't have evidence for what I'm suggesting, but I'm going to suggest it anyway.”

Opinion: Illinois public university enrollment fuels our economic success A stable, growing base of college students attracts more employers and expands the economy.

Illinois’ public universities have reached a 10-year high in enrollment.

Thanks to the investments we’ve made in education, we’re fostering world-class talent and the next generation of leaders.

It’s a win for our schools, our businesses, and our state.

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (1938) a great gothic novel

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I cannot stress how completely bizarre & unheard of it is for the DNI to be personally present for a search warrant execution, never mind this one.

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

Adam Serwer and Bobby Pulido: MAGA Got Proven Wrong The mass deportation operation was supposed to be about the manly men pulling out all the stops in defense of Western civilization, which they claim is being brought down by brown and black immigrants...

Spoke to @thebulwark.com about what I saw in Minneapolis. (Yes that is a Roma hoodie) www.thebulwark.com/p/adam-serwe...

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

Tin soldiers and HOMELAND coming
We’re finally on our own

Abolish. ice. 💔

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Hugo Lowell told MSNOW that the Trump administration expects that the murder of Alex Pretti will "blow over and go away." They believe that Americans will forget about it in a week or so.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

Screenshot of a TikTok video with error message at top saying “your video is under review and can’t be shared right now.”

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

Lies, violence and the American state Trump abhors democracy because it allows ordinary Americans to reject his lies. Even worse for Trump, it allows us to reject him.

Authoritarianism prevails not because people stop believing the truth, but because they stop saying it aloud. If we wish to remain free, we must refuse that silence. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...

Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. But that’s exactly what this president is doing
