Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

It’s wild the agents who have videographers following them never seem to have footage of what they claim those they are arresting did

Unicorn bride marries Kenny from South Park at Portland ICE protest The couple in costumes said they wanted to bring joy to the protests and show that demonstrators are "fun loving people."

yeah but the double-decker tacos are so good.

Federal immigration officers wear masks and no name tags. Now some are driving cars without license plates. The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

In D.C. this August, there were multiple instances where agents were observed with mismatched tags, bent tags, and other instances that suggested agents were removing license plates from one vehicle, and placing them on a different vehicle.

I can't get over how the CDC layoffs are coming less than two months after the attempted mass shooting. The agency is being taken apart brick by brick. The public servants there do not deserve this.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

They're delegitimizing themselves in substance by subverting the Constitution and aiding the establishment of a lawless autocracy. But they're further delegitimizing themselves because they really don't understand, and can't even halfway convincingly mimic, how the Court is supposed to function.

Many historians of Rome identify Roman generals becoming the personal sources of payment for their armies as a key step in the downfall of the Republic, since it personalized military authority and freed armies to fight for their immediate leader, who paid them, instead of for the Republic

My contribution to the WW2 discourse is that pissing on the memory of the war as a fight against fascism is undermining the antibodies of the body politic against Trump. You are literally the RFK Jr. of ideology.

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News. A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

The E.P.A. Followed Up on an Unusual Request About Abortion Pills

One feature or authoritarian movements: They get more extreme.

"The highly unusual request appears to have originated from a letter sent from 25 Republican members of Congress asking [the EPA] to investigate how mifepristone might be contaminating the water supply."

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

It is so fucking frustrating to be under siege by the feds in Chicago, neighbors getting abducted, helicopters harassing us all day and all night, and see these assholes using the crisis as an opportunity to gatekeep resistance and big themselves up for being cynical layabouts.

The Double Victory campaign helped get a lot of the press and many politicians more vocal about civil rights too. That was concurrent with the war! Writing off all the vets of WW2 as white racists is aiding the work of the current DoD, who have been deleting the stories of POC veterans.

I never really got the “liberal” label but I’d rather that than “self-sabotaging loser”

Literal bandit government. Fucking unspeakable.

Great opportunity for the freelance criminals out there - while you're waiting for your paperwork to go through at ICE, anyone can remove their license plates and mug, kidnap, rob houses, as much as they want. Then they can go work for the feds and get a paycheck on top of their spoils.

Pam Bondi, in particular, needs to pay

I will say that the normal neighbors have successfully driven them off on some occasions, including in my neighborhood yesterday. Maybe the philosophy comics guy was helping out, although more likely he was practicing sneering and gooning at the same time.

for God's sake schoolchildren are under siege and the secret police are swarming around my city, and all you perverts want to do is gatekeep resistance. I would like anyone who is doing this shit to think about what they actually want.

An extremely rough day for Edgewater in Chicago. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces.

and also, what is supposed to be the point of telling a bunch of normies "you fucking idiot, you think fighting fascism is a mainstream, traditional, American value? Why, are you stupid? Don't you know fighting fascists is for cool kids only, you dumb bitch?" I mean, fuck.

why, whyyyy do we have to do a weekly "hurrhurr the Americans actually loved Nazi Germany and only switched sides once the Red Army was in suburban Berlin" rehash on this cursed website?

ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

They finally acknowledged Melissa Hortman but are using her to justify their ongoing suppression of dissent, skating over the fact that her killer was not Antifa but a Trump supporter who had a long list of other Democrats, abortion rights advocates and health care officials he planned to target.

Picture of my mom holding a sign saying if some of us are unsafe none of us are SOLIDARITY. My stepdad holding a a sign titled Slashing ICE. And my mother does not look even close to 80.

My 80 year old mother (a lifelong registered Republican until 2018 and, by god, is not one for protesting) is making her voice heard on our small-town New England town green.
