They’re still trying to deport Liam Ramos, for god’s sake. They will admit no wrong for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti. We’re still having to feed and house tens of thousands of families, many legally in the country, because they are unsafe going outside. This has been going on for two months.

Look at what they’re doing to schools. Attendance cut in half or more in many. Armed, masked agents lurking in the parking lots at dropoff time, forcing families to physically protect children with their bodies. The other day ICE drew weapons outside an elementary school, forcing it into lockdown.

Our own government has done extraordinary damage to the economic and social fabric of this region, wreaking havoc for no discernible reason. It’s a terror campaign, not an immigration operation. It’s still happening.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

got a bad feeling about these midterms everyone’s got so much riding on. if folks aren’t careful it’s gonna be a sea of fettermans

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE.

We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

These people all have terminal brain worms.

this just in: the non-U.S. part of the global ruling class doesn’t like it when the U.S. part tries to take their stuff

Dr. Matt Poling and State Rep. Brian Harrison have been busy commenting from behind their safe spaces, demeaning the actions that Dr. Martin Peterson and I took to expose the consequences of Texas A&M’s censorship policy.

In response, we invited them to publicly debate . So far—silence!

Though I realize "all" is never going to happen, especially given the way this place continues to foster a culture of "just lay down and take it"

This whole state and university, run by cowards and morons. We will see how the uni holds up when all of us (phd students and profs) start to walk away this summer

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.

Also my article on Enrique Dussel's philosophy of history just dropped ijp.tamu.edu/wp-content/u...

Link in the doc to the meeting. Please share with anybody who is interested in the general topic (redemption, non-redemption) or in learning about major trends in Latin American philosophy

We are having a first, informational, meeting Thursday to discuss which figures we should add or subtract from our tentative reading list.

To anybody interested, we are starting an online reading group that will run the next few years on the topic of Latin American philosophies and theologies, and whether it is possible to think of a non-redemptive sense of history. drive.google.com/file/d/1JcVn...

Ah okay I see you. Would love to read

There is a lot here I think I like. But I guess I worry that this allegiance to the commonly held is a problem. I think its precisely the commons, here, that has become totalitarian! Whither critique?

I would have gone with THE dad, but alright

One thought I have recurring constantly is that we under-estimate in the academy, regardless of the amount of stupidity and condescension present herein, how the overwhelming stupidity and historical illiteracy of the American public contributes to so much of *gestures at our world*

The power of higher education. A good example of why the MAGA leaders want to destroy universities.

Throwback to when twitter was good

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Dear Texas A&M, Clarifying that you did not ban all of Plato, just the parts that call into question the state's governing ideology is not quite the win that you seem to think it is.

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force.

ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Swarming is working. 20 cameras in their face every time they step out of the truck. None of them are having a good time out there.
