"At least 15 Florida universities have quietly signed agreements to voluntarily cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — but how those partnerships are being implemented remains largely hidden from view."
The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. Then follows an enormous list of small print names
Thousands of small print names interspersed with some photos of some of the child victims
NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
The Washington Post has just published every single known name.
A seminal moment.
Stop what you're doing and read this extraordinary essay by Rümeysa Öztürk: "I am free, but my true freedom is interlinked with the freedom of many women I lived alongside in ICE prison."
amazing/lucky you have Arabic majors to teach!
If there is a Hell, the people responsible for this will burn for eternity on fires stoked with biscuits.

56m meals since May 19th for 2.3m people in Gaza.

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this:
Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.
I wonder if anyone has ever looked into what happens when elected leaders with authoritarian tendencies create massive law enforcement divisions accountable only to them that are comparably funded to the military but specifically designed to be used domestically.
Nobody has covered this, but this #GradPLUS cap is going to cause some #medicalschool to close, including some that just opened. I'm thinking schools in more rural areas, like satellite campuses of Michigan State and Medical College of Wisconsin in northern MI or central WI
