I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!
I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.
If you are a US citizen and think your children are safe because they don’t “look like” this child…
… stop to consider that in our country, now, your children’s safety depends on what they “look like”.
this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke
ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.
This is why calling them weird creeps was so effective, not just to damage the leadership psychologically, but to make it extremely socially embarrassing to be a known supporter of them in the general public. The point is to make society at large view them as they are, not the force they wish to be.
One of the big media failures of the past decade is the ongoing search for the deeper side of Trump. There isn't one. His ideology, such as it is, is personalist, transactional, and zero-sum. That's as vain, vulgar, and wrong as you can get. He likes gold shit and applause. There's nothing beneath.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

hard to believe that the Charlie Kirk firings / pearl clutchings happened mere months ago but here we are
When is the “law and order” party going to step the f up and stop this madness???
The President who bullied someone into giving him her Nobel Peace Prize is trying to start several wars abroad and a civil war at home
New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration.

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
We can’t ignore the gendered dynamics of what we just saw katemanne.substack.com/p/renee-good...
A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.
This is what he says when doesn’t care about the people who died
You try breastfeeding a hungry newborn when your supply doesn’t meet demand and your nipples look like raw hamburger, asshole.
As a woman who has been pregnant, given birth, breastfed, and formula fed, the only explanation for this shit is Bobby has a fetish for tiny coffins. Not every woman can or wants to breastfeed. Fed is best.
ALSO, where was he when ICE detained a 2 wk PP mom, without a pump and her milk dried up?
the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller
Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.
Wakefield’s research was fraudulent. It wasn’t a matter of debate or interpretation, he made shit up and lost his license as a result. Fuck RFK Jr. for trying to validate him. And where are Congressional Dems on this? Where’s the bill to impeach RFK Jr.?

Ha! I saw her on the Jumbotron when I went to a game last month 🤣
Feeding Americans: too expensive. Rebranding the Pentagon to stroke the ego of small, weak-minded men: worth $2 billion.
SHHHHHHH
Seattlites have deep Folklife Festival roots. May have been outnumbered by tech people in recent years, but the tambourine folk are still around!
Oooh that’s me in the blue hat at the bottom left!
Thank you, Brown! Take a note, other American universities.
It's clearer by the day that Columbia making a deal with Trump in July was a catastrophe for higher education as a whole. It gave terrible people a bottomless appetite for extortion. The other eight universities must follow MIT's lead.

The number of federal troops needed in Portland is ZERO.
Donald Trump is using taxpayer dollars to manufacture a crisis. If he really wanted to help Oregon, he would reverse cuts to Medicaid and support funding for housing and education.
