Heads up everyone - There is likely to be a large ICE operation tomorrow in Springfield OH. Check out this brilliant piece by my former USC student who explores how this anti-immigrant campaign was engineered using ancient tropes like blood libel.

Or this is a strategy to create a backlash and then declare martial law.

Continuing my lonely crusade against antisemitism in academia. The chilling line โ€œwhat did Jews do to make themselves so hated?โ€ Is one I hear often without a hint of shame or self awareness.

Here is exhibit A from a current law suit.

American cities are being invaded!

Families across the country are living in fear.
The federal government is abducting and brutalizing people, including clergy.

ICE savages are executing American citizens for the mere act of recording them.

Was going to post something about research, but took one look at the other posts, and the world is still on fire. Can't return to our regular programming yet.

Border Patrol has no business being on the streets of American cities. They arenโ€™t trained for it and their leadership encourages them to engage in lawless behavior while the WH policy director repeatedly tells them they have immunity for everything do whether itโ€™s legal or not.

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. Itโ€™s one of the most upsetting things Iโ€™ve ever seen happen in America
