If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

I'm old enough to remember when a highly regarded senior scholar accused me of "cynical framing" (and worse) for suggesting that Wurman's "scholarship" was generated entirely for the purpose of being cited, and not because it was the result of sincere scholarly exploration. Whoopsies.

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

Then they file lawsuits in courts of law and see if they can get a jury to agree with them that they have a case. That is how our system is supposed to work - not have the president’s lawyer play Evil Santa handing out our money to his supporters who committed crimes. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Wild to me that anyone treated Antonin Scalia's opposition to affirmative action as sincere or intellectually honest, when all anyone did at his Supreme Court confirmation hearings was gush about how meaningful it was to FINALLY have an Italian American justice

Antonin Scalia Was a Diversity Hire
The late justice spent his career ridiculing the notion that elite institutions had any interest in diversity. He might not have made the Supreme Court without it.

I think present-day politics makes a lot more sense if we acknowledge that constant interactions on social media can rapidly evolve someone’s perception of reality and their political beliefs, as they try to conform with the vast, unregulated, malformed parasocial mob

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

Poll after poll shows corruption is THE issue voters care about. And Jeffries goes out of his way to praise Adams, whose public corruption charges were dropped after Trump’s DOJ unceremoniously shut the case down? Democrats have the winning hand right in front of them. Wild that they won’t play it.
statement titled “Leader Jeffries Statement on Mayor Eric L. Adams.” It says Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries thanked Adams for decades of service as an NYPD officer, state senator, Brooklyn Borough President, and New York City’s 110th mayor. The statement highlights achievements under Adams, including reduced violent crime, more affordable housing, and recovery from COVID-19. Jeffries acknowledges ongoing challenges like the high cost of living but says meaningful progress was made. He thanks Adams for his service and says that in the coming days his focus will shift to Republican healthcare and government funding issues, and that he will comment on the remaining mayoral candidates before early voting begins.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.
