This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Road-tripping through the Peloponnese with my favorite people! My chapter in Greece is coming to a close soon…. I’m not sure yet how my time here will affect my art-making, it could take years to see how, but it’s def going in new directions!

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

When the Nazis pilloried modern art | Apollo Magazine The artists whose work was singled out in the ‘Degenerate’ Art Exhibition often demonstrated great courage and the determination to carry on, writes Hettie Judah

The attacks on ‘degenerate’ art in Nazi Germany were brutal and shocking, writes Hettie Judah, but we should also remember the bravery of many of the artists who were singled out.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

Yesterday, every single Republican & 30 Democrats supported Trump's $8.8 billion bomb shipment to help Netanyahu continue his annihilation of the Palestinian people.

We are in a New McCarthyism but instead of anti-communism we have anti-anti-Zionism, used, once again discredit all efforts for social change.

Time to get on the right side of history.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep spewing carbon.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge “Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

David: Are you concerned about retaliation from the Trump administration because of this story? Jeffrey: It’s not my role to care about the possibility of threats or retaliation. We just have to come to work and do our jobs to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, in our society today—we see this across corporate journalism and law firms and other industries—there’s too much preemptive obeying for my taste. All we can do is just go do our jobs.

A fantastically important postscript to this piece: David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation, and Goldberg gives a perfect answer — with perfect swipes. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
