Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Is it possible that Bluesky is even more reactive and angry than Twitter ever was?

Yikes on bikes.

No Rebecca, my dad was friends and colleagues with Jim. I was just noting a piece of info I learned as a teen that I always found interesting. This is such a curious response! What makes you read fear? I'm merely noting that it actually had religious foundations, rather than transcending them.

Maybe an op-ed for a high school newspaper? Most opeds i read are far better.

I know you, doctor, are the last who needs to be told this: it is hard to see the same evacuation to sciences that arts, humanities, and non-quant social sciences have seen for 30 years. I hope the allies created will stay, if science funding/infrastructure gets restored.

The editors at NAIS put so much thought and care into refining this one with us.

I know we were both grateful to Abigail Echo-Hawk who let us put her powerful dress (made of the body bags sent to SIHB instead of PPE, in 2020) in our article, and on the cover of this volume of the NAIS journal.

I remember that we were so grateful to Chris Andersen and M. Murphy, Vanessa Gray and Beze Gray for being there with us and sharing their work. And Theresa is truly such a pleasure to write with and think with. Brilliant, patient, thoughtful, ethical, and attentive.

I am thrilled to see this article in print, just about 3 years after Theresa Rocha Beardall and I started hatching this plan, and just 2.5 years after we organized discussion at NAIS in Toronto to get critical Indigenous Studies' STS arm and IDSov to be in conversation.

This is an image of the title, authors, and abstract of the article that was just published. See the link for more details.

New article just dropped!

Can you elaborate by any chance? I'm interested!

I record every single lecture in my large anonymous undergrad classes. I know it's not Texas but I keep my receipts anyway. I speak carefully but factually.

“We must be very aware of the future that we portray in English. I think of English as a strange wing that sprouted, not grounded in the old thinking about the land, but one that we must learn to soar in.” – Dian Million, PhD, Tanana Athabascan.

Whose white here?

She was a cop. I voted for her but come on.

I don't know about the guy in the upper left, but it seems key to not that the greatest beneficiaries of all DEI programming were white women.

The context:

I got to meet and present with the brilliant Dr. Melanie Yazzie in April at Dtmth. She's analytically sharp, a storyteller, and funny af.

From @witchytwitchy.bsky.social on IG

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

I desperately want historians of sci to step up & remind us how complicit we scientists were for decades, all in the hope of keeping that sweet money coming. I've watched scis ruin activist & labor movements on uni campuses all from the fear of appearing political. Time for a reckoning, and repair.

Hundreds of veterans volunteer to attend asylum hearings with Afghans The effort began after a former Afghan interpreter was detained after his San Diego asylum hearing this month.

“In the last week, more than 200 veterans have volunteered to attend immigration hearings with Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during the 20-year war in Afghanistan…”

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

I agree. Tho, the ivies offer free tuition if ur fam makes < 100-160k (depending on ivy). But most (like me) still take loans to pay room/board/fees (my 2 jobs didn't cover it).

They govern the middle class through debt & play into "meritocracy" farce w/ the stories of their few poor students.

Please, scare me more
