Even if we start tomorrow, I'll be dead before we repair the damage this executive has done. And every day until I do die, I'll wake up and walk around with a deep, black anger in my heart about that.

A family, including a sick 7-year-old, were kidnapped outside of the same hospital where Border Patrol shot Luis & Yorlenys. Yesterday, a majority of the House – including 7 Democrats – voted to continue to fund this terror.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

The entire trick to academia is to be friends with people with distinct but relevant research specialities
Me: thank u for this photo of a door with no context. Here's the name of the church it's from, a historic photo, it's first appearance on an os map, and a chapter on it from a book that details the date it was built AND the two times it was heavily renovated. You should be able to go from there.
I would like to thank @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social for his service to the cause

Hey so if the centrists are looking for "reasonable", minimal compromise positions, why not this one
100 miles from the border is not a "reasonable distance." No reasonable person regards a place 100 miles away as being "on the border." Gettysburg may have been a "border town" in 1863 but no "reasonable" person would call it that now. Change this unreasonable law.

“may your grandkids race to change their names” is actually an incredible curse we should all start adding to our repertoire

I just want to be sure that every Republican member of Congress is prominently named in the history of who destroyed American democracy, NATO and the West. They're worse than Benedict Arnold. They sold more than West Point. Their grandkids will race to change their names

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.

If you tell a vendor that they cannot have blanket permission to use photos of you or your home for social media, I say about 60% would rather not take your money. One day I will work out how I think this parallels with politics but for now just know I think we are living in a hellscape. Thank you.

A small note: terrible things are happening in Minneapolis. But also in Saint Paul. And in the suburbs. And though most of the push is in the metro, things are happening all over the state.
I've been trying to refer to the events as happening in the Twin Cities or in Minnesota.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT…
We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.
📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

Yes and...you know who else does these things every single day?
Maybe someone with legal knowledge can tell me - when ICE breaks down a door without warning, reasonable cause or a warrant, could that be considered a 'home invasion' or breaking & entering? When they take private property and do not return it, isn't that robbery? It seems ICE is a criminal org.
I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
