EXCLUSIVE: Russian Dissident Says ICE Threatened Him With Rape if He Refused Deportation After three months in Eloy Detention Center, Maksim Borisov faces deportation to Russia, where he says he’ll be tortured or killed. ICE told him U.S. prison would be worse.

Like many queer Russians Borisov fled Russia after the country's Supreme court declared "the LGBT movement" an "international terrorist organization," prompting mass arrests

Students Hold Unofficial Affinity Celebrations, Marked by Anger at University Decision to Withdraw Support | News | The Harvard Crimson Eight affinity groups held celebrations for Commencement this week, despite having been denied funding and access to campus venues by Harvard officials.

β€œPresident Alan Garber wants you to believe that Harvard is standing firm for academic freedom in the face of pressure from the authoritarian Trump administration,” Ahmad said. β€œThe truth is that Harvard has already surrendered its intellectual freedom to far right-wing donors.”

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

MIT bans class president from graduation commencement after pro-Palestinian speech Megha Vemuri called out MIT for having research ties with the Israeli army and "aiding and abetting" the country with its "assault on the Palestinian people."

Wow @MIT shame on you

I graduated in 1986. We called for MIT divestment from apartheid South Africa, including during graduation

39 years later, here we are.

ICE disappears people while wearing masks and no identifying insignia. Some of their agents burst into the office of one of your colleagues this week and handcuffed one of his aides.

"Let's go do a photo op with the Gestapo."

The fuck is wrong with you?

Jerry Nadler is the former chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Today DHS agents stormed his office looking for protesters, and terrorized and handcuffed a staffer.

ICE turned back in Somerville

So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

riding a bike in the city might be a little dangerous but on the other hand, sometimes you get to fly by a bunch of cars stuck behind a garbage truck and feel like a god, so ultimately it’s worth it

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has been on a tear, vetoing popular bills.

He recently rejected a bill to ban the algorithmic price-fixing of rents.

He's also vetoed a pro-union bill, legislation to prevent surprise ambulance costs, regulations for social media companies, and more.

The United States is collapsing into total fascism because for a long time significant swathes of the white majority accepted limited fascism targeting minoritized people and that analysis doesn’t even account for the original sin of the settler colonial country existing in the first place
