People understand that Iran is not actually developing nuclear weapons right

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Bernie Sanders did in fact find out about the attack on Iran during his speech in Tulsa. This is that gut wrenching moment when he stopped his speech and announced Trump’s post then informed the audience that we are now at war with Iran. Sanders made clear it’s unconstitutional.

Absolute creeps.

Anti-Diversity Crusade Sows Fear at Mississippi State Mississippi State University faculty are uncertain about the future under the cloud of President Donald Trump’s anti-diversity orders.

NEW: Trump's anti-diversity crusade is sowing fear at Mississippi State University, leaving marginalized students without organizations that were a lifeline and academics unsure if their life's work can even be considered for promotion or if their jobs will remain.

@trjackson.bsky.social reports:

Ten national unions and dozens of locals representing more than 3 million members have issued a joint statement demanding the release of immigrant workers recently snatched by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The statement names farmworker union leader Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez, who was picked up in what appears to be blatant retaliation for his organizing; SEIU Local 925 member Lewelyn Dixon, a University of Washington lab technician detained on her way home from visiting family; SEIU Local 509 member Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student whose detention by federal agents was captured in chilling footage; sheet metal worker Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a SMART Local 100 apprentice who was sent to El Salvador’s notorious prison complex; and United Auto Workers Local 2710 member Mahmoud Khalil, abducted by federal agents in front of his eight-months-pregnant wife. The unions are also calling on employers, university administrators, and local governments to refuse to cooperate—and demanding that elected officials “find their spines.”

10 national unions repping 3 million members demand the release of abducted immigrant workers and call for employers and university admins to refuse to cooperate and elected officials to “find their spines.”

This is the way.

This photo shows a scattering of critters, for lack of a better word, that look a bit like white sea anemones, blooming from rotting wood. They are extremely delicate and ephemeral, and are not actually single organisms but multi-organismal assemblages.

This is another photo of the same group, but at a much tighter angle, taken with both a macro lens and extension tubes for additional magnification. The honeycomb like structure is visible, as are the extended, anemone-like tips, which also have a fuzzy texture if viewed with enough detail. #naturephotography #slimemolds #slimemoldsunday #fungalfriends (though not technically fungi)

Ahhh, springtime! Birds are singing, flowers are blooming, the woods are green again, and slime molds are throwing plasmodial parties on the forest floor.

This is honeycomb coral slime mold (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa), one of my favorites, and one of the first to spring back to life in Mississippi.

these are the dullest people alive

OPINION: "FIRE calls us a haven of free speech, but the absence of meaningful dialogue about the university’s ties to war and occupation suggests otherwise. Why is there such silence on these critical issues?" Matthew Reeves writes.

Con law prof here. This shit is WILD. "Plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate" to disappear whoever the state deems a terrorist is not a fucking thing in any kind of constitutional democracy. It's unvarnished tyranny.

Total domination does not allow for free initiative in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totali- tarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.u

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

Hossam Shabat’s Last Article Filed hours before his killing in an Israeli airstrike, journalist Hossam Shabat describes the resumption of Israel's scorched earth campaign in his hometown of Beit Hanoun.

Hours before he was killed by Israel, Hossam Shabat filed his last report for @dropsitenews.com, “Report from the Frontline of Israel’s War of Annihilation.”

We are publishing Hossam’s story along with a deeply moving tribute to Hossam by Sharif Abdel Kouddous:

4 Pinned Nayib Bukele v @nayibbukele •2d X Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable). The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us. Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million per year. On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization's highest structure. This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members, money,

Look at how El Salvador’s president Bukele describes the future these captives are facing in his pinned tweet.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Parents deported to Mexico while seeking brain cancer treatment for young American daughter | CNN The undocumented parents of a 10-year-old US citizen whose family was removed to Mexico say they are desperately seeking a way for either of them to return to the US with the girl so she can continue ...

If you supported a 10 year old American child with brain cancer, on her way to medical treatment, being deported because her parents are undocumented (but have no criminal records), then you’re a horrific person and I’m not sure how you sleep at night.

Students in Mississippi, South Dakota, Arkansas, Montana and Alaska could be affected the most if rules or oversight changes for how states spend education funds.

During the 2021-2022 school year, these states relied on federal aid for at least 20% of school funding.

West Ada teacher stands firm after she’s told to remove ‘Everyone is welcome here’ signs Sarah Inama said she was told by administrators that her signs “don’t allow people to express differing opinions.”

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

I never met her, but was enthralled during a brilliant keynote she gave at a DOPE (dimensions of political ecology) conference way back when in Kentucky. Brilliant thinker. May she rest in peace.

You absolute gutless coward.

Time to resign. Or be primaried.

You are destroying the party.
