the development of Luigi Mangione's case is so funny. the cops began interrogating him before even arresting him, before reading his Miranda Rights, and they searched his backpack without a warrant while doing so. which means a ton of evidence could potentially be tossed

I also hope that those colleagues, especially the Europeans, are willing to have more conversations about how travel across policed borders and through nation states has always been risky and scary for folks with non-dominant identities.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

🚨NEWS: The House is set to vote Monday on H.R. 867, the “IGO Anti-Boycott Act,” which would punish Americans with fines of up to $1 million or prison terms up to 20 years for participating in boycotts of Israel or Israeli settlements that are promoted by international governmental organizations (IGOs), such as the UN or EU.

The bill, sponsored by pro-Israel lawmaker Rep. Mike Lawler, expands U.S. anti-boycott law to target voluntary, values-based political action by U.S. citizens. Its aim is to shield Israel from nonviolent international pressure campaigns such as BDS.

Rights groups say the legislation criminalizes constitutionally protected political expression and is part of a broader push to suppress opposition to Israeli genocide, apartheid, and illegal settlement expansion, under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

At least 2 people—29 and 44 yo—have died while detained at Krome ICE prison near Miami. The facility is so overcrowded people are sleeping in the bathrooms: “Their faces are literally under the toilet.” english.elpais.com/usa/2025-04-...

Last weekend, the first protests took place on the access road to the facility, and dozens of people made clear their rejection of the “inhumane conditions” at Krome, which have recently come to light. Outrage began to grow precisely with the news of the death of Maksym Chernayak, a 44-year-old Ukrainian who was in the country thanks to the humanitarian parole program, on February 20. As that news broke, so did the death of Genry Ruiz Guillén, a 29-year-old Honduran, who had died on January 23. Both died in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and had been detained at Krome before being transferred to a hospital where they could not be saved. Details of each case are limited — in that of Ruiz Guillén, there isn’t even an official cause of death — and family members and lawyers are trying to clarify the sequence of events that led to the loss of life to determine whether the deaths could have been prevented.

Suspicions about possible irregularities in the protocols are not unfounded. Florida immigration lawyers have known about Krome’s notorious status for years, although the current situation is clearly different. Speaking to a local television station, immigration attorney Katie Blankenship said she would never be able to erase the images of women held at Krome — which began admitting female detainees more than 20 years after an investigation into sexual abuse by guards in 2000. “Every time I walked in there, there was literally a group of women with no room to move, banging on the window, pleading, because they saw someone who wasn’t an agent. They saw that I was a lawyer and said, ‘Please help us. Please help us. Please help us.’” Blankenship adds that her clients — whom she now meets in separate rooms as the meeting rooms have become collective cells for dozens of people — are sleeping in the bathrooms: “Their faces are literally under the toilet.”

It doesn’t matter. “Eradicating autism” is how they will justify institutionalizing, criminalizing, and exterminating anyone they label as autistic. Whether they’re actually autistic, mentally ill, transgender, or just not behaving the “right way.” Just like they’re doing with “immigrants.”

4 panel comic with the text “I remember locking myself in the bathroom, with a shitty broken eyeliner pencil stolen from a friend, drawing hair on my face.” The panels depict close ups of a door being locked, a hand reaching for a pencil, and a person drawing rough facial hair on their face.

The math they are exposed to, doesn't resemble the math that mathematicians do. There are basically no proofs, almost no abstraction, no meaning. It's math in the same way playing a note on an instrument is technically part of being a musician.

I've said this before: the way math is taught to children is usually entirely computational, math that a calculator can help with. Full of numbers, no proofs. In other words, the *exact* kind of math that'll traumatize people with dyscalculia. That'll traumatize them into avoiding math.
