A staggering 55 people have died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. But the agency's official death toll record-keeping doesn't account for people like Prisciliano, whose health deteriorated in detention but died shortly after the agency released him from custody to be hospitalized.

The Deaths ICE Doesn’t Count

Prisciliano Trejo Ricano passed away in the hospital days after being released from detention.

Agree with how it's not healthy to approach academic discourse as the Hunger Games. Yes, I've seen that kind of behavior earlier in my career, but things have shifted, for the better, and I think collaboration and grace are elements of academia to be promoted and embraced, along with accountability

Even though Glen Hansard (RIP) and Market Irglova parted ways as a couple, they kept making music--and a year and a half ago the recorded their famous song "Falling Slowly," which hits different with the news of Hansard's passing. youtu.be/YDNRF1nZO3E?...

I'm still seeing people talk on this app like it's only the children of immigrants who are born here who benefit from birthright citizenship. Everyone born here benefits from it. It's how you are a citizen.

Americans have a caricatured view of democracy of something that has just always existed, and this is an unfortunate oversight. American history has always been a conflict between democracy and authoritarianism. Hopefully we emerge more democratic on the other side. 9/9

Long story short, if you want to understand authoritarianism in America, you cannot view it as a foreign or unprecedented ideology. It has always been here. We've tamped it down, but it is an ongoing struggle. Hopefully we make progress after this madness is over, but it is never truly over. 8/x

Americans have a habit of trying to compare all authoritarianism to Nazi Germany. I think in some ways i think it is comforting to view authoritarianism as a foreign ideology. If you want to understand our current authoritarian moment, you need to look to our own past, not to Europe 1/x

Not only is authoritarianism not new, it is still in our living memory. Southern racial apartheid is more recent than the Nazis, and more relevant to understanding our current politics. As American politics have nationalized, the South anchors one of the two parties and exported its politics 5/x
