I’m thankful for this reporting. More and more people of conscience need to know what’s happening.
I’m a teacher in western Mass where ICE hasn’t shown up to do its disgusting work. It’s cognitive dissonance that locally in my town and in my school there’s no mention of anything.

@samanthamichaels.bsky.social hid out with an immigrant family in Memphis, where the federal onslaught of ICE officers has fundamentally reshaped daily life.

Oh no. Horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to Prof. Loureiro’s loved ones.
This was one of my undergraduate departments. I wrote a paper on MIT’s fusion reactor back then; what a cool and vast area of research.
Damn this gun-loving culture, the gun lobbyists, and the legislators who do nothing.

Honestly, what Mamdani and his team are doing in. YC is giving me lots of hope right now.
This past Sunday, from 8am to 8pm, New Yorkers from every corner of our city traveled to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria to share their dreams, their worries, the change they want to see across New York. It was an honor listening to each of them.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

💯 Organization is deliberate work, with a plan, over time, with pivots, not knowing what will work, but not losing sight of that purpose.
Outnumbering your enemy is not enough. *Strength* in numbers requires a shared sense of purpose. That must be cultivated. Understanding and relationships must be built. This is the work most people don't want to do. To turn moments into lasting movements, we need organization.

Kast is the son of a Nazi. Says Pinochet would’ve voted for him. Started the Republican Party in Chile basically in Trump’s image. This is whom my birth country elected today as president.
