Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I just finished 500 (very modified) burpees this January. Sometimes they were ugly, sometimes they were slow, but I did it!

Then I saw that ICE tear-gassed a family friendly peaceful protest in downtown Portland. And 500 burpees don't seem to matter anymore.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Quilicura, Chile, one of the communities I wrote about in EMPIRE OF AI, has launched a brilliant initiative to inspire more responsible AI prompting. Today, don't use AI; ask the townspeople instead: quili.ai. So heartened to see this creative act of resistance.

ICE Is Circling Minnesota Schools, Looking For Children to Take Liam Ramos, 5, isn’t the only child in detention. Teachers and parents describe kids being hunted by federal agents.

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school.

Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools.

Children in ICE Detention Skyrocket in Trump’s Second Term With a six-fold jump in children in detention, advocates allege harrowing conditions are putting kids’ lives at risk.

The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. We analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

Hey @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and I are both Carleton grads and this fucking rocks - love to see a college protect its students from the goons instead of cutting deals with the regime.

Happy first day of spring semester classes. My first lecture slide had a typo, my first programming lab had GitHub permissions issues. Onwards and upwards.

If you are a scientist funded by NIH and agree that if the HHS/NIH bill is held hostage by linkage for funding to DHS/ICE, we need to shutdown both and save lives, its time to speak up. Right now, with a few exceptions, the silence is deafening

Ok, I finally made it here. Took a couple years. Maybe it's not a good idea, maybe we're past the bluesky hype, but "past the hype" is where I thrive. I came here to say that ICE needs to get off our streets, out of our schools and homes, and stop killing people and abducting people.
