We invaded France and no one will sell us a croissant. It’s very hard on the men.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Social movement scholars: I have a student interested in the practice of "recruitment disruption," e.g., trying to get people not to work for banks financing fossil capital. Is there any social movement scholarship on this tactic or anything like it? It's sort of like a boycott, but for labor.

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Everyone should be putting up NO ICE NO CPB NO FEDERAL AGENTS GET A JUDICIAL WARRANT OR STAY OUT signs everywhere.
My wife told me she heard at a training she attended that ICE has argued "ALL ARE WELCOME HERE" signs are invitations to enter private spaces and if that don't beat all I don't know what does.

When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.
And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

Ok, we're into the intro video, and we've been told that "you'll learn why crafting clear, precise prompts is essential to getting accurate, helpful results from Generative AI". Which strongly implies that accurate results are possible, and if they're not, that's your fault.

"[A] Black man named Keith Porter was killed in [LA], allegedly at the hands of an off-duty ICE officer with a documented history of abusing children and being racist ... It was only after [Alex] Pretti was killed that Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer signaled his party would take a stand."
ICE is killing people—and the public pays the bill.
As support for abolishing ICE grows, @ruwithsonali.bsky.social reports Democrats have a real chance to stop funding an agency terrorizing communities while healthcare gets cut.

There’s Never Been a More Fitting Time for Democrats to Stop Funding ICE
The money fueling ICE’s abuses comes directly out of the pockets of working Americans who are already struggling.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

Wait, am I reading this right? They're not telling them what the offer is before making them tell CBS they're open to leaving?
Below is the buyout offer all CBS Evening News staff received today.
"We hope you are excited about this vision, but we understand that some of you may not be, and we want to provide support. As such, we are offering an extraordinary chance to leave CBS News with an enhanced separation payment."
