ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed

Oh I’m sorry, are the emails where Botstein downplays Epstein’s crimes to him—or the ones where Epstein uses his friendship with Botstein to recruit a victim—not enough?

Bari Weiss’s lecture at UCLA on “the future of journalism” canceled

Leon Botstein, president of @bardcollege.bsky.social, has repeatedly made public statements about his relationship with the pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that have turned out to be misleading, incomplete, or untrue. I'm going to make a thread to compile them all here.

You can tell that this is intellectually bankrupt grandstanding because he doesn't say what kind of Christianity. It's like saying the official car of Tennessee should be "truck."

What does Bulso mean when he says "Christian"? Catholicism? Snake handling? Be specific if you're serious!

You mean the instructors with the least protection from the anti-woke hit squads?

It's okay. We were already labeled as acceptable collateral damage before the rise of Trump.

We're cannon fodder with terminal degrees.

Professors Are Being Watched: ‘We’ve Never Seen This Much Surveillance’

A single piece can't cover everything, but it seems like adjunct/non-TT instructors are usually left out of these stories.

I'm not a fan of Thom Tillis, but I am a fan of Thom Tillis talking about Stephen Miller. Old dude HATES that Nazi fuck.

Thank you, Victor. I spent a few weeks on this. As usual, it’s always a negotiation with length. So a few other bon mots:

1. The admin has issued DOJ guidance to challenge state laws that would regulate AI

Look for the helpers. But also look for the goons pepper spraying the helpers.

This is a post about animal excrement and the English language.

This is not the lesson.

Abolish Ice is such a simple policy position to get to. Thank you, Representative Omar.

“Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.”

what about a time travel game, where the idea is that you travel back in time to document criminal acts (using contemporaneous methods like cameras from the period, etc), then hide the evidence so it can be uncovered back in the present and proven to be authentic

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

If ICE is around your city, you can print out a few to share some helpful tips with neighbors!

Dr Oz on rural healthcare: "There's no question about it, whether you want it or not -- the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars"

Law's not really playing a big role right now.

Like, He-Man or Skrletor?

VII. CONCLUSION There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side—or at least has ignored them. Does not have the law on her side—or at least has ignored it. Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter). Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that. By accompanying Order, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ Renewed Motion for a Stay Under 5 U.S.C. § 705. Date: February 2, 2026 ANA C. REYES United States District Judge

Jumping to the end, Judge Reyes summarizes why she is blocking the termination of Haitian TPS for now, making clear that Secretary Noem had to follow the law and the facts, and having neither, chose instead to "pound X" with an irrelevant screed about immigrant killers.

"Secretary Noem complains of strains unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system.

Her answer?

Turn 352,959 lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight."

- Bingo, Judge Reyes!

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

So the next step from democrats is: “it is illegal to do this without approvals and in 2029 we will hold all companies that take part criminally liable and seize all their assets to pay for restoration.”

Most Boomers hold JFK in a position of veneration. Trump, being both a Boomer and being Donald Trump, wants to desecrate a memorial to JFK to prove his own importance. It's all compensation for his own feelings of inadequacy.

Congress needs to pass legislation to protect it, like, tonight

He's totally tearing it down.

#USA - Argentine midfielder Joaquín Pereyra of Minnesota United spoke about ICE: "People in Minneapolis are scared. We players are, too. Fewer and fewer people want to be out on the streets because of what might happen to them. I now always carry my passport and green card with me, but they do not guarantee that I will not be attacked by ICE. The mistreatment of people should not exist anywhere in the world."

People are supposed to spend their life savings to travel for this?
