Actual post on DHS X account, saying "FIRE UP THE DEPORTATION PLANES!" with a picture of a skeleton screaming and lifting a heavy weight, imposed with the words "MY BODY IS A MACHINE THAT TURNS ICE FUNDING INTO MASS DEPORTATIONS"
The fitness imagery doesn't surprise me. MAGA figured out long ago that fitness bros are a ready audience for disinformation campaigns. They consume tons of content (usually podcasts) while spending hours a day in the gym or on long runs/rides, often looking for "secret" info to give them an edge.

May every single human being on this planet be safe.
May every single person be protected from harm.
May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.
Honestly given where things are heading, and have been, we need more prison journalism. Every beat exists in prison: health care, education, labor, inequality, markets, media, the arts, the law, politics…

I don’t have a lot of capacity to deal with this but I just found out the sixth edition of the Disability Studies Reader is out. Four years ago a bunch of disability studies scholars, activists & artists protested our inclusion in this textbook.

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.
Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵
At least 140,000 children and 67,000
adults have died as a result of Musk, the orange, and Rubio terminating USAID support to healthcare and food aid. The lag effects of HIV/AIDs, TB and malnutrition will soon start increasing the toll more rapidly.
38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen. 39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions 40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs. 41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there. They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.
NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

The White House. The actual White House.
This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.
I hope other university alliances start pooling resources and engaging in the kinds of collective action Rutgers is proposing here for the Big Ten.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history.
Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.
This is a deeply ill, deeply dangerous man

The crisis is less “is Elon Musk the president” — whatever — than the reality that the United States functionally has no one in the role.
Trump heads a syndicate of plunderers inside the institutional remnants of the U.S. government — but has in no sense carried out the duties of his office.
Few publications have risen to the moment like Wired. Kudos to them for courageous, quality coverage of our current national crises.
