WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally β€œyes, they do.”"

πŸ—£οΈ New from MiSC scholar Jenna Loyd for @publicbooks.bsky.social.

The article challenges the idea that "the border" is just a line on a map. Instead, it's a technologyβ€”a tool that mixes law, territory, bureaucracy & policing to control human mobility.

It was an honor to give a keynote speech welcoming new US citizens at a naturalization ceremony on the 4th of July in #Charlotte last week. My message? Immigrants (not the Dec of Independence or β€œnation” or the Statue of Liberty or so-called golden door) are a beacon and what make America great

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY.

None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record β€” and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened.

Read the story below.

ICE turned back in Somerville

So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Agents zip-tie kids in new immigration crackdown in Texas At least three children were taken into custody and zip-tied at the San Antonio Immigration Court.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing β€” which ICE had just had dismissed.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts β€” likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating β€œyour parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Yesterday, Palestinians located the bodies of 15 aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza. One week after two ambulances were directly shot at by the Israeli military, the bodies of these Red Crescent workers were finally found handcuffed and crushed under their ambulances, concealed in a mass grave.

Statement on Palestine, Genocide, and Repression The Department of American Indian Studies issues a statement in support of Palestine.

Yesterday, the U of Minnesota deleted the American Indian Studies’ statement on Palestine. (Also deleted was a story about Leonard Peltier’s return home and five other dept statements on Palestine.) Our expertise matters if we don’t oppose genocide. web.archive.org/web/20250322...

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.

Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.
