Abolish ICE YouTube video by Takes™ by Jamelle Bouie

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

Important not just to name media fails but to specify how. Asking Q’s now about operational details is waste of time: the immediate questions are about Trump’s occupation plans. The investigative questions about Trump business allies remain the same.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

BREAKING: ‘This hurts’: UNL eliminates 4 programs despite faculty, student pleas The University of Nebraska-Lincoln eliminates the Earth and atmospheric sciences 8-0, educational administration 7-1, statistics 7-1, textiles, merchandising and fashion design 7-1 programs.

It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

“[list…] would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a proposition…” Is he talking about Lincoln and “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”?

One like, one Thucydides opinion.

Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer!

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people

Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

i'm reading this charles sumner speech from february 1866 and my dude is cooking

Tuberville says ‘inner city rats’ live off the American taxpayers: Trump should send them ‘back home’ "These inner city rats, they live on the federal government," Tuberville said in the interview.

Listen, @housedemocrats.bsky.social
@senatedemocrats.bsky.social address this flagrant, insulting & incendiary racism. Where is the censure motion?

Stop jumping at every smear against Mamdani.
Focus on what a U.S. Senator is saying abt a key part of your base.

Thank you! Really fascinating!

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.

Per @npr.org, the Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the White House U.S. DOGE Service, has built a searchable national citizenship register with data from the Social Security Administration & immigration records— without public notice & comment.
Infrastructure for a police state.

I was reading a thread recently that discussed Mehmet II taking the title of Caesar of Rum and putting Ottoman moves against Italy and Holy R. Empire in terms of pursuing their claims as the legitimate continuation of Roman authority. Is there antthing to this? Or is it fanciful connecting of dots?

This is so beyond the norm of regular human behavior, how is this very obvious sociopathic dementia not always the top news story

Minnesota Dept. of Health announces $226M in federal cuts and layoffs of around 200 employees State health officials held an all-staff meeting Wednesday to explain how the $226 million in cuts could impact the state healthcare system.

The Trump administration is taking away almost a quarter of a billion dollars of funding from the MN. Our public health infrastructure will be DECIMATED. 150 to 200 people will be laid off. As measles, TB, bird flu & other infectious diseases increase. Devastating, reprehensible & dangerous.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.

i was just complaining about this to a friend a few days ago. the punditry is obsessed with this retreat to discourse, where there is an inability to examine the actual phenomenon itself. instead, they engage in language games or treat politics as a question of definitions

Rep. Finstad had plenty of time to visit Republican groups during the recess, but had no response to constituents requesting town halls. WHERE IS BRAD??

There couldn't be a better moment for scholars to pick this up and run with it.
