And the good news is that the SCC majority in Kanyinda undertook an intersectional analysis focused on women refugee claimants. Section 15 Charter wins continue to be reason for celebration given the ongoing uncertainties with the Court’s commitment to equality rights, and with governments’ too.

Supreme Court rules asylum seekers eligible for Quebec’s subsidized daycare Access to the program is given to people with refugee status, but not those with pending claims

Gratitude & respect to Bijou Cibuabua Kanyinda for pursuing justice. This is a tremendous recognition, validation & vindication of women’s rights, equality rights & refugee rights.

The Supreme Court of Canada just released its pivotal Charter equality rights decision in Quebec (AG) v Kanyinda.

It was an honour to have co-represented FCJ Refugee Centre and the Madhu Varma Migrant Justice Centre in their intervention in this case. 1/

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

The legal arguments and architecture for what's happening in Iran now, and were deployed in relation to Gaza, really did not come out of nowhere.

The pre-emption and targetted assassination arguments might appear spectacular, but they were the workaday archiecture of the war on terror.

This entire decision is worth a read.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

I'm gonna repeat my comment.

Talking about nonexistent "super intelligent" machines is like talking about the Cookie Monster rather than corporations creating real things causing harm. A non existent machine god bringing apocalypse or utopia is a framing that is harmful. Period.

Ten minutes later, I get a call from Marie, who is very harried, and she's like "what's going on?"

So I explain that I'm from the whistle people and we just want to make sure that she has distribution capacity for the whistles she requested, and she sighs and says, "so here's what we're planning."

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

Opinion | Trump Is Raising Billions in Federal Funds. That’s Not a Good Thing.

This is a really good piece by Aziz Huq and @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social. I've been highlighting similar themes in my recent power-of-the-purse scholarship. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/o...

Ok I see you UCLA Faculty Association and the Council of University of California Faculty Associations, pushing your university to be better and creating the space for this to happen!

We have whistles. They have guns. The asymmetry is real, and the danger is not rhetorical. But the history of state repression does not turn on weapons and violence alone. It turns on whether isolation succeeds and fear fragments those subjected to it, or whether coordination interrupts that process. A whistle cannot revive lives lost, but it can prevent disappearance. It generates witnesses, produces visibility, and transforms individual vulnerability into collective agency. It functions not as a substitute for law, but as a refusal to wait for law to secure what it has already failed to protect. This is not a call for refinement or recalibration of immigration enforcement following months of federal occupation in Minneapolis. It is a call to name failure plainly. When ICE's ordinary operations require protection from law rather than obedience to it, abolition is not a radical slogan but a natural conclusion.

Opinion | Universities are sending Trump a dangerous message Higher education is under attack. Drop the appeasement.

"Appeasement is being coordinated while resistance is not" is exactly right. (This op-ed from Arne Duncan and David Pressman is excellent; I hope university leaders will read it.) www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing.

Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

Great thread. Also, on this post from the middle of it, I think lack of "depth of capacity when it comes to meaning" due to not living "with the consequences of the values it embeds" also applies to a great deal of senior managment, which is part of why AI uptake is happening as much and how it is.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Defending the Possibility of the University: A Roundtable on “University Keywords” - Public Books “What would it look like for faculty unions and graduate student unions to collaborate or work together with K-12 teachers’ unions to push back against anti-DEI legislation or book bans?”

I almost cried during the Bad Bunny show when I saw the workers repairing the electrical system. I spent years working on Puerto Rico's crisis, and this was the one thing I couldn't resolve before moving to the academy. Thanks to the @lpeblog.bsky.social and @lpeproject.bsky.social for sharing this.
