NYU is only โliberalโ when convenient. โNYU canceled 13 culture, identity & faith-based graduation ceremonies due to the โcurrent political climate,โ according to student groups that are urging admin to rescind the order or better explain their reasoning.โ @thecity.nyc nyunews.com/news/2026/02...
Don't look away from the continued cruelty and horrors. Please keep calling your representatives, please keep showing up to protest these horrific actions, please keep caring.
ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.
"On behalf of the Society for American Archaeology (SAA), I am very pleased to inform you that you have been selected as the 2026 recipient of the SAA's Book AwardโPopular category for โNative America: The Story of the First Peoplesโ published by Princeton University Press."
Wow! No words.
Congrats!!
For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now.

Stanford University discontinued. Itโs enhancing diversity and graduate education. Dr. old Fellowship, a graduate program aimed at diversifying at student body. The Stanford daily report reported. The university also will no longer offer housing and dining support for students from outside the Bay Area who participate in summer undergraduate research fellowship. The Fellowship House in Sanford school of engineering offered an immersive research and graduate school preparation experience for first generation students and student students from historically underrepresented communities.โ
Stanford is doing this because it wants to
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."
ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

I have been of the opinion for about five years now that we are all mostly clinging to the *idea* of social media. But that it has not existed, as we mean it, since Jack sold Twitter. The minute capital lined up to fold social media into its technocratic political consolidation, it stopped existing.
Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: โYesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. โToday, we demand accountability. โIn the immediate aftermath of Alexโs killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a โdomestic terrorist.โ Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving Americaโs veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. โOur demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alexโs needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired
Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. Heโs told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. Heโs said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months.
He doesnโt get to walk away from this now.
I donโt have voting members in Congress but Iโm still calling Schumer to tell him to shut the government down over ICE occupying cities and executing people in the streets
This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
It's all white supremacy and greed.
This video is itself a historical document that shows the Trump administration's efforts to erase history. There are few more telling symbols of the intentional attempt to silence the past than the raw, empty spaces left behind after this removal of displays about the history of American slavery.
ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.
One day, if we are lucky, the erasure of American history will itself be remembered as a shameful chapter in American history
ICE has been busting down doors and seizing people from their homes without signed judicial warrants. But it wasnโt some decision on the fly. It turns out, it was actual agency policy. A shocking memo, and what it means for this practice, in todayโs write-up. Link in the replies.

Trump has deported 540,000 people, fewer than in either of Biden's last 2 years. But Biden deportations focused on the border, now mainly shut. Trump has targeted those in the country and has removed 230,000 of them, more than Biden in 4 years. @albertsun.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Glass marbles in various colours, deformed and melted into clusters by fire.
Melted marbles from Moria, the largest migrant camp in Europe, which burnt down in 2020.
The material culture of border crossings is often intentionally erased. Preserving and studying it is essential to understanding this contemporary #archaeology ๐บ
