ICE detained a Virginia mom while she was driving her 16yo daughter to school bc she couldn’t recall her SS#.
“The agent got flustered and lunged at her,” said her daughter.
ICE arrested her even after she showed proof of legal status.
“I want this video out there because I want my mother home.”
20 police officers across the state of Mississippi, including TWO elected sheriffs, were just arrested on charges of providing police escort for drug and weapons trafficking across state lines in exchange for bribes

I still think about how NPR ran one deep dive into it in a “special report” format where a reporter interviewed academics who specialize in extremist online spaces, but the regular reporting side never picked it up and it was just forgotten & never spoken of again

Big news
imagine if the rewards of our hard work went back into our communities instead of being hoarded by a handful at the top
In an over 2-mile walk, hundreds of students made their way from Little Village Lawndale High School to the Little Village Arch, denouncing recent ICE action and supporting immigrant communities.
I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."
Local educators say Hispanic students and parents are afraid to leave their homes and risk detainment by the new Memphis Safe Task Force. Some want the district to offer more support.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
#ICYMI: We found that the FDA allowed 20+ foreign factories to continue to send certain medications to the U.S. even after those facilities were banned because of concerns about contamination and other breaches.
The agency kept the practice largely hidden from the public and Congress.
Governor Kathy Hochul is speaking on stage, but the crowd keeps interrupting to chant #TaxTheRich

Good evening from Queens.
New York is not for sale.
Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

Ugh here this goes
Low. Standards. @profkori.bsky.social never lied.
It’s just incredible this isn’t the way everyone talks about him
A St. Louis ordinance lets courts banish people from huge swaths of the city as a punishment for petty crimes.
These neighborhood orders of protection often prevent people from accessing the services they need and raise constitutional questions.

One thing I learned TA'ing for Alex Filippenko was that letting students make arbitrarily detailed cheat sheets was a fantastic way to let certain students organize their thoughts and distill class information. A learning experience that helped them on the test much more than the cheat sheet did!
