Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago.

He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

Internet communists are tedious. Yes, the American system is rapidly collapsing into immiserating and oppressive authoritarianism, but the solution is not to advocate for an alternative that has consistently collapsed into immiserating and oppressive authoritarianism.

When I say is always projection from fascists, I mean ALWAYS. It is the only thing such putrid, mentally unstable authoritarian trash is capable of.

Det jävliga i kråksången är att djursholmsvillan är svindyr för att den ligger på bekvämt pendlingsavstånd från Stockholm. Samma villa vid Indalsälven skulle vara värd en bråkdel. Kommuner som Danderyd lever som parasiter på staden, utan att bidra till helheten.

Not only a damning indictment of Fox. Also a cautionary tale about what we are to expect in the brave new AI world.

Fox News Got Duped by AI—and Lied About It
Tim Miller takes on how Fox News ran with a totally fake story—racist AI videos pretending to be real “Black women”—and then quietly changed the headline instead of admitting they make a mistake.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

… the massacre’s perpetrators shouldn’t be cast as racists… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
propublica.org ProPublica @propublica.org · 17d
Changes to Oklahoma’s curriculum rules make it so teachers aren’t supposed to tell students that the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 — a defining incident of racial violence in Oklahoma history — was perpetrated by racists.

➡️ Full story: https://propub.li/3WXTkFm
Article excerpt with a section of the second paragraph highlighted: State social studies standards for years have included discussion of how white Tulsans murdered as many as 300 Black people. But once the 2021 state law that restricted teaching about race and gender passed, some teachers avoided the topic. The law prohibits teachers from singling out specific racial groups as responsible for past racism. It specifies that individuals of a certain race shouldn’t be portrayed as inherently racist, “whether consciously or unconsciously.” In addition to teachers’ licensure being on the line, repeated failure to comply would allow the state to revoke district accreditation, which could result in a state takeover. When educators questioned how to teach about a race massacre without running afoul of the law, state legislators and the Tulsa County chapter of the conservative parent group Moms for Liberty weighed in to say that white people today shouldn’t feel shame and that the massacre’s perpetrators shouldn’t be cast as racists. A Moms for Liberty chapter representative did not respond to questions from ProPublica.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"
