A federal contractor is looking to hire ICE detention officers in Newport It’s the latest sign U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcment is planning a major new facility on the Oregon Coast.

@dirquez.bsky.social has the scoop that ICE is actively trying to hire detention officers in Newport, Oregon. That adds a ton of credence to the speculation that the federal government wants to open a new facility in the coastal town.

the situation room? the national security crisis management center at the white house?

Barring certain exceptions (language classes, and my undergrad law stuff) I get much more out of class by sitting and knitting than I do by taking notes. So that's what I do.

Before I got my first phone, there were a few years my dad kept his economist subscription just so I could read it! I think you’re on to something ngl

I don’t really care if AURORA BOREALIS NORTHERN LIGHTS happened to you. It should have happened to me instead.

Every billionaire is a policy failure.

I've talked about this before, but A People's History of the United States. I was ~12 and here was a book that said "adults can lie, ask more questions, and history is told with an agenda." regardless of the book's actual conclusions (I don't remember well so can't say), a life-changing message

You know it's November in university when you're in the library at nearly 8pm and it's not even empty

this is literally never not accurate

I hate when baseball is over for the year, I have no fucking idea what you guys are talking about
