400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming
I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am
Road surrounded by suburban houses, lawns and trees. Misty and rainy.
Far away from the noise in a sleepy little town in Limpopo, South Africa, waiting for another deranged action by a deranged hegemon far away.
One of the largest oak trees in the university forest has fallen over today:

It should be a priority of us all to get our friends off of left authoritarian grift media.
friends don‘t let friends listen to Briahna Gray, Chapo, Greyzone, Jimmy Dore, Aaron Mate, or Krystal Ball. These are people who don’t care about the future, just themselves and money.
most letters never reach their mark; and many are only received after attaining an age of two or three years or more
nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21
The nurses are pissed
Me my whole life: Nothing is black and white. You have to consider nuance

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived
Press needs to start referring to her as Reverend Nekima Levy Armstrong, I am learning, not from any media organizations unfortunately
Pastors working for ICE
Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants
Which one looks more like Jesus???
The radicalization of Silicon Valley is the subject of my forthcoming book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and The War on Democracy."
It exposes a decades-long campaign to use tech power to overthrow democracy and destroy nations. Pre-order here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
The Bluesky government accounts want unhinged engagement with their accounts to screenshot and provide to Fox News to justify their authoritarianism and I’m not going to do their work for them it’s my day off.
So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away.
A completely needless tragedy.
About a hundred journalists and activists held a vigil in Johannesburg on Thursday evening in memory of Palestinian journalists who were murdered by Israel.

A thing that makes that Times story especially odious is that Zohran Mamdani's father was LITERALLY expelled from Uganda during Idi Amin's fascist effort to scapegoat Asian Ugandans as not really African www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Reality show where immigrants compete for U.S. citizenship? Dhs is considering it.
Really disturbing to see this framed as though it is unclear whether this is an abomination.
Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

“Now is your time to stand up to the authoritarian Trump regime.”
An elderly activist was forcibly carried out of Mike Lawler’s town hall as attendees booed the New York Republican.
Trump’s Easter message: Jesus had it coming. Woke loser with terrible numbers. After all that effort only 12 disciplines and one of those had doubts and another betrayed him.
Please do not let anyone you know travel to the US if they can avoid it--this is a country that is collectively looking to harm and harass everyone who looks or is or believes differently. It is not safe, and we need to treat it as such--that is goal of such public abductions.
JFC, Fulbright scholar not accused of any crime, no immigration violation, no reason to expect any violence -- just Marco Rubio's whim -- and instead of summoning her first step is no-uniform / no-ID guys in masks and hoodies grabbing her off a public street.

So Meta jacked multiple editions of my two books to train their AI. They even ingested the Spanish-language version. I don't recall granting permission.

I am already hearing many European academics becoming unwilling to travel to the US for political reasons
Stories like these 👇 add safety concerns to the list. Especially, as access to social media accounts are required to enter
How do we best support our US academic colleagues as things escalate?
Stories like this are becoming increasingly common. A British woman is now in detention after getting caught up in the U.S. immigration dragnet. Organizers of upcoming conferences in the U.S. should make virtual options a priority.
