So despite the ICE abduction this morning, Columbia didn’t take any steps to cancel classes or move them remote. No idea how noncitizen community members are supposed to feel safe showing up to study or work today.

I would never reveal to my enemies that I was this much of a bitch ass bitch. I would swear all witnesses to secrecy and never speak of it again.

the license criminalization scheme in Kansas...stripping immigrants of their legal status...

all of this shows, and is meant to show, that the legal rights of disfavored groups are conditional and can be rescinded at will

such discriminatory chaos is incompatible with a real inclusive democracy

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

My parents had recorded it from (probably) PBS showing them all in a row, and we had TLTWaTW, Caspian, and Dawntreader, but the the quality exploded at Silver Chair (so i can’t vouch for it). But the other three fucked.

College is really expensive. (TOO expensive, IMO, but I don’t make the rules.)

If a student is going to insist on aggressively not learning a fucking thing in college by actively seeking out the cheat-on-everything machine, then that student just took on a ton of debt for nothing.

Donald Trump illegally stole your money.

He should give it back to you.

Instead Trump is scheming up new ways to force Americans to pay even more.
