ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

I was in afternoon kindergarten, so I’d be up watching HBO from the cheater box with my grandma at 10-11pm still. Wild times.

Look, y'all know I hate AI as much as the next passionate hater of AI, but ChatGPT has nothing on the University of Oklahoma deciding that based on the first amendment students can literally say anything in their papers as existential threat to the university.

When it’s fishermen they’re pretending are low level drug runners, they’ll bomb and then circle back to finish off the survivors.

But someone convicted in a court of masterminding a massive cocaine trafficking scheme? Well, he’s wearing a suit. Come on.

POLITICO Pro: Trump administration proposals seek to eliminate transit funding DOT recently sent two proposals to the White House budget office seeking to pare back transit money.

Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from β€œflexing” funds for transit

These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

Heads up: Indiana's Republican governor just called a special session to consider a new congressional map.

Trump and JD Vance have been pressuring Republicans in the state for months to further gerrymander their map.

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

A screenshot of the ADN story with highlighted text quoting an anonymous EPA spokesperson: "A spokesperson for the federal Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday defended the decision, saying "due to the proactive cancellation of this grant, $20 million of hardworking US tax dollars are currently sitting in the U.S. treasury instead of swept into the Kuskokwim River."

What an insult to all Alaska. This is outrageous.

It’s incredibly difficult to trace my family back past my great-grandparents because their name was changed, spelled differently on different documents, etc. Even my grandfather, who was born in the US, has different spellings of his last name as a result.

Signs of the times in Chicago today: My daughter's school went on soft lockdown because of reports of ICE. Volunteers showed up at the nearby H.S. to escort people who didn't feel safe. Walking around, I saw lots of orange whistles around people's necks.

Everything is too expensive and you can be kidnapped off the streets or shot by a bigot at any moment; you can't go to the doctor or get a vaccine or read certain books or learn history or speak a language other than English but hey at least a computer will drink a lake to talk to your kid for you

Trump pauses $2.1B for Chicago infrastructure projects, leveraging shutdown to pressure Democrats White House budget director Russ Vought says the Trump administration will withhold $2.1 billion for Chicago infrastructure projects, expanding funding fights that have targeted Democratic areas durin...

A good overview from @apnews.com of Trump admin's funding pause for Chicago's Red Line Extension because of US DOT's complaint that CTA is using "race-based contracting."

The contracting approach CTA used was mandated by US DOT & Congress.

The pause will increase costs, lengthen project timelines.
