Moshannon jail is now the largest immigration detention center in the Northeast. The speed of its growth risks creating dangerous conditions for detainees, including crowding and lack of sufficient medical and mental health resources.

People have succeeded in trashing TESLA's brand. A similar determined campaign can do the same to ICE.

"DEI needs a reset."
We agree! We spent years in R&D on our courses. @headwaytraining.bsky.social redesigned the entire framework, using scientifically validated methods, to create a program that WORKS. One of the most common responses from students is that our courses are unlike any other.

"Despite their widespread prescription, DEI trainings often fail to change bias or reduce prejudice."

When you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights.

The “black jobs” Trump was talking about.

Which is why they want us out of government, academia, and the corporate work force.

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none.

Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

"Does publishing trans writers constitute promoting gender ideology?” But to pursue this line of questioning is in itself a moral compromise. The term “gender ideology” is not only condescending, but like so much fascistic vocabulary, it is also unintelligible." 1 / 2

gotta hand it to @electricliterature.com for taking a stance and not applying for nea funding under this administration. here's part of their reasoning from today's email -- this is a MUST-READ for writers.
Screenshot from Electric Literature's email: "Earlier this year, the NEA released new compliance guidelines that, pursuant to an executive order that seeks to “restore biological truth to the federal government,” require applicants to certify that their programs do not promote “gender ideology.” Federal funding is contingent on this certification. The ACLU is challenging this requirement, but as of this writing, the case is unresolved. Frustrated and uncertain, I found myself, along with other editors, asking insidious questions like, “Does publishing trans writers constitute promoting gender ideology?” But to pursue this line of questioning is in itself a moral compromise. The term “gender ideology” is not only condescending, but like so much fascistic vocabulary, it is also unintelligible. I may not know what “gender ideology” means, but I do know that Electric Literature stands with trans writers and readers, and will continue to fiercely advocate for their rights, protection, and the full expression of their humanity.
