JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

Two important things:
1) after tomorrow the sun will not set before 5pm again in the UK…until October
2) if you’re struggling just now *please* be kind to yourself

The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This is why they are the enemies of education, culture, the arts and history. Because all of those things show that the more things change, the more they remain the same.
Some wonder why humanity never seems to learn its lesson.

People wonder why so many have contempt for the Christian faith. The “church” knows Trump is a person of horrible character. They also know Trump leverages his fake “faith” for votes. Still they invite Trump to headline their national prayer breakfast. It’s all a facade to fill their coffers.

Gelernter endorsed Trump 3 times. He's an evolution and climate change skeptic who thinks women should stay home. He was a member of the "race science" Human Biodiversity Inst.

After an unflattering profile in the WP, The Atlantic published an indignant piece calling him a "pioneering polymath."
Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."

This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

It's fascinating how Epstein's tentacles tied together some of most destructive trends and factions in modern public life.

I mean, here's the "polymath" Gelernter defending birtherism.

"This is how men behave."

Nope. Don't drag the rest of us into your world, creep.
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

Then there's this creep. Infamous Rightwing Yale prof David Gelernter. Unabomber victim, climate denier, Trump ally, oppses women in the workforce.

Wrote to Epstein that he should hire an unnamed alumna Gelernter described as a "v small goodlooking blonde."

So pimping a student to a sex offender.

For fuck's sake this is not "how men behave" it's how abusers behave. To whatever extent it's how too many men behave, it's because those men are abusers.

And people who cater to abusers ... are also abusers. David Gelernter should never be allowed near students again.

I have been writing letters of recommendation for just shy of thirty years— 17 students this year alone— in ratios that more or less track the majority-women population of liberal arts students.

Obviously I have never commented on a student's looks... and no recipient has ever called me to ask.

This is not "how men behave."

This is Gelernter's version of Trump saying "locker room talk"— a projection of his own pathologies onto a whole gender in order to buff up his own manly-man credentials in his mind.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.

He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

Like we didn't know that? Seriously, Corey couldn't get confirmed so he named Noem but ICE has been acting just like Corey - a bully asshole who beats women.
