ICE agents followed a family leaving church on Mother’s Day in Chelsea, MA. They smashed the car window to drag the husband and father out while his young family watched.

@nytimes.com imma really really really need you to stop using the word "deported" to describe what happened to the Venezuelan men sent to El Salvador. Not sure what's the right legal term here... Maybe kidnapping?

@heathercmcghee.bsky.social is one of my favorite people for helping understand race in America as a deliberate political strategy. She does not disappoint in this interview.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.
Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.
PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.
This is also about autism.

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
