I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

In the Führerbunker with Carlyle and Yarvin Curtis Yarvin—and, through him, arguably, Thomas Carlyle—has now emerged as a significant source of ideas for the present administration.

Who is Thomas Carlyle? And why did people stop reading him?

@ivan812.bsky.social writes: “Once you’ve pictured Hitler and Goebbels using Carlyle’s book as a kind of Fascist Ouija board to foretell a successful thousand-year Reich, you can’t unsee it.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like.

And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one.

Columbia Disciplines Students Who Occupied Campus Building Last Year Sanctions for the Hamilton Hall occupation include expulsions and suspensions.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms any university that would sacrifice its own students to the demands of an authoritarian government.

This is absolute cowardice & capitulation to an administration hellbent on the destruction of American higher education.

Isn't stealing government databases full of classified information and passing them to unknown other parties treasonous? And isn't committing treason grounds for being stripped of one's naturalized citizenship and kicked out of the country? Asking for 330 million friends.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

TFW you get to the party a year late. It was a pleasure, @navsa.bsky.social

Hello, friends and colleagues. Thanks for sending those cool codes back in the spring, and sorry I was too frazzled to join then. Now I can’t afford not to be here — for scholarly community, political reflection, survival strategies, and mutual aid. Thx for having me and sorry to be late, again.
