As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible
They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov and @fetterman.senate.gov I have increasingly lost faith in you, but you still have time to restore it. DEFUND ICE. No halfway measures, no bars just for illegal arrests of citizens. Show some vision, strength and concern for your constituents!

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes.
Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.

And Stanford is trying to squeeze $329,000 of restitution out of the students, some of whom are couch surfing and sleeping in cars, to bankroll their ✨building renovation✨ when Stanford’s facilities director has testified that the damage was UNDER $10K.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
Graph showing that policies blocking ICE access to jails have kept immigration arrest rates lower in some states.
In 2025, local police & jails played a crucial role in ICE's deportation agenda.
For this year to be any different, states must prohibit this collaboration and rein in sheriffs.
At my university we found that an obscure accounting decision was leading to overprojected deficits that justified austerity while channeling money into capital projects at the same time as admin was laying off teaching and research support staff. The uproar shifted $5 million back into operating.
There it is.

The right hates for white people to know Black history, because it completely upends, not just whitewashed curriculum, but our families’ stories of self-help, hard work, and meritocracy.
Black history makes us confront the fact that those stories are partial at best and deeply distorted.
Reposting so it is less “quietly” done
In the archives looking at legal filings regarding Red Squads. And boy howdy am I getting past and present confused in my brain.
say it again:
4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities
demolishing higher education is economic sabotage
