As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

NYC. Denver. Palo Alto. TOMORROW, you can protest against the tech billionaire who hides behind the scenes—Peter Thiel—and his surveillance company that empowers ICE’s cruelty: Palantir. This is just the beginning to another Tesla Takedown-like movement. Follow @purgepalantir.bsky.social for more.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest. This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

Study finds after Burundi abolished school fees in 2005, girls gained 1.22 more years of education. For very-low income girls, 1 additional year of school reduced teenage motherhood by 7%. Wealthier households likely already ensured education for daughters. theconversation.com/does-free-sc...

Does free schooling give girls a better chance in life? Burundi study shows the poorest benefited most
Education policies can be highly effective, but not necessarily for everyone in the same way.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
