Nomination and selection of Nobel Peace Prize laureates - NobelPrize.org A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize may be submitted by any person who meets the nomination criteria. A letter of invitation to submit is not required. The names of the nominees and other informati...

Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

4. He would be so mad.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.

He's got to go.

Woman shot by Border Patrol in Chicago asks judge to let her release evidence Marimar Martinez is blocked from releasing evidence in her case by what's known as a "protective order." Though standard, her attorney says it's “become an albatross” around her neck and “keeps the en...

Read @jonseidel.bsky.social's coverage of Martinez' request. And while you're there, review his list of all the cases that collapsed in Chicago.

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.

While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

Chris Madel: "The president posted something on Truth Social saying it was a time of reckoning and retribution on the citizens of my state, and I've seen that happen and I cannot be a part of it, and I can't be a part of a party that's a part of that"

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Who’s next?

One demotion cannot detract from accountability.

Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

Did you know there are FREE BOOKS you can just READ AND BROWSE for FREE at the LIBRARY and sometimes PRINTING SERVICES and OTHER NEAT STUFF you can just do for FREE without having to SPEND ANYTHING at the LIBRARY

Here's a script! Call today! Call tomorrow! 5calls.org/issue/dhs-bu...

If you didn’t call your senators already to demand a no on tomorrow’s funding vote, what’s stopping you from doing it today?

I would still like the name of the man that shot Pretti.

Meanwhile…

Family questions federal investigation of Nicaraguan migrant’s death at Camp East Montana EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The lawyer representing the family of the third detainee to die at Camp East Montana said the family is skeptical that he may have committed suicide.  As we previ…

Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, was abducted in Minneapolis. He died in ICE’s El Paso detention camp 8 days later on Jan 14.

ICE calls it suicide.

They didn’t send his body to the El Paso County ME who just classified another “suicide” at that camp a homicide. They sent him to an army medical center.

Least shocking news ever.

OpenAI needs to be considered as an extension of the Trump administration and other countries should ban that company and it's products outright.

If you ever needed another reason to boycott OpenAI, here is hopefully the last one.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

It is not great when all the people who know you do data management for a living text you this before you wake up on a Saturday

UNC System Board Weighs Defining, Setting 'Parameters' for Academic Freedom The proposed policy explains the concept the same way a faculty group did last fall, but system leaders added limitations on what is protected.

BREAKING: For the first time, the UNC System could soon define “academic freedom” across North Carolina’s public universities.

The move comes as professors and administrators warn that Trump administration policies are threatening their rights.

Excellent news in the midst of so much terribleness. The bigger take away here: stand for what is right, do not compromise your morals.

Every administration, every faculty senate, every board of trustees who forced their institutions to bend the knee over this shit should immediately be fired.

Their presence dishonors the profession and the institutions they supposedly serve.

Wow. This is the dam breaking.

“LET US OUT!”

women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc.

In our name🇺🇸

This is pernicious government #censorship. After making calls to defund ICE, head over to the #DefendResearch website to see what to do about protecting our shared knowledge: defendresearch.org

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.

WATCH: “I HAVE DONE NOTHING AT ALL!”

Local Minnesota rapper @nurdrocks.bsky.social tackled and detained by Trump’s racist ICE goons for no reason.
