BREAKING: Two more federal courts struck down the DOJ's unlawful demands for voters' private information, this time in Nevada and Minnesota. That makes the Trump administration 0 for 23 in these efforts to undermine our democracy.

Just spitballing now, but perhaps twice electing a second-tier carnival barker to lead our republic for eight years was not, in fact, the wisest path forward for a nation.

I don't see this said enough: the widespread use of generative AI is not only making our jobs as educators harder logistically, but also emotionally. It is genuinely sad to be suspicious of students when you have spent so much time building a pedagogy based on trust and not being a cop. It sucks.

Hard to overstate how obvious this was in Minneapolis. They'd roll around the neighborhood in full gear, doing nothing immigration-related at all, wait for angry crowds to gather, and then attack them with tear gas and pepper spray! It was a violent siege and the feds owe us billions in reparations.

In Minnesota, we are all too familiar with false spring. You think maybe winter’s finally over...until the cold snaps back, sometimes even harder. That’s what this moment feels like. You may hear that ICE is “leaving", but they’re shifting, spreading out. Don’t mistake a brief thaw for safety.

That’s it, exactly. ICE is trying to figure out how to make us scared. They tried following us home, didn’t work. Tried threatening us with arrest, didn’t work. Tried arresting us, didn’t work. Tried tear-gassing us, didn’t work. People just keep not being afraid of them and following them around.

In my opinion these people are the real heroes of the resistance to ICE. There’s no credit, no one can talk about their work (because they directly contact vulnerable families). It’s expensive and dreary and neverending. ICE follows them around. But they refuse to abandon their neighbors
