A majority of the 16 U.S. states under total Democratic control now ban 287(g) partnerships with ICE. Maryland and New Mexico just joined that list, following Maine in January.

Turns out I don't know how to use this machine I bought that prints money, so guess I'll just throw it in the trash.

tweet from @cliftonhowze on twitter Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

really good writeup of the RELX/bookcon stuff, as situated in a broader media landscape where everything we love puts money in the hands of cartoon villains 🫠

UK can arrest royalty, US can't even arrest a shitty former reality TV host.

We appear to be at the planning and preparation stages of what would be an act of aggression of considerable gravity and scale, in manifest violation of the UN Charter.

Time Has Run Out: Mass Starvation in Gaza and the Global Imperative It is time for comprehensive, full-spectrum, sustainable, and coordinated humanitarian action. States globally must act without delay on that imperative.

Now @justsecurity.org

I join Alex de Waal (@worldpeacefdtn.bsky.social) to call on all states with any leverage at all over Israel to use it without delay to demand comprehensive, full-spectrum, sustainable, & coordinated humanitarian action.

Time has run out

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

An Unwelcome Intruder / The spitz and the bumblebee by Henriette Ronner-Knip (1821-1909)
