Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

This is a fundamental logic of today’s politics. Democrats supported rollbacks of civil rights over and over—from border enforcement to welfare reform to counterterrorism to crushing the Palestine solidarity encampments—and Republicans predictably use this as the infrastructure for fascism.

The modern-day legal basis for the criminalization of immigrants largely rests on two anti-immigrant bills signed into law by Bill Clinton 30 years ago. The IIRIRA and the AEDPA further entrenched mass incarceration and laid the blueprint for the detention and deportation machine we have today.

Clinton-Era Laws Passed 30 Years Ago Enabled Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Agenda.

Clinton’s ‘96 laws provided the legal foundation for mass detention, rapid deportations, and the evasion of due process.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?

Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

Good morning from the ICE facility in Broadview, IL. As ICE vehicles trickle in and out of the lot, a small group of Chicagoland locals are holding a prayer service for those impacted by deportation efforts. The area around the facility is open, contrasting prior months of "protest zones."

Ye gods Screenshot from an email I just got from someone, which I am just sharing to say: PAY NO ONE. You, as the creative person, should get paid. These truckloads of bullshit are easy to cut through: Who’s getting paid? If it’s not you, run away. It’s a scam.

I have allegedly been offered an opportunity to publish my book with Henry Holt. They are asking for two things:
A Universal Media Core Dispatch and an Executive Acquisition Pitch. They are telling me that they need these two things and that I should use a Hollywood screenwriter. They are charging a huge amount of money. I am just wondering if this seems legit or if they are trying to take me to the cleaners.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.

Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.

Democrats will not get the voters they need to turn out by having anxious members of the Democratic rank and file harass anxious people to their left on Bluesky. It may feel good to argue with people online, lord knows I'm not above it, but there's no universe where it a actually matters.
