ICE is requiring interviews for parents looking to reunite with children who entered U.S. alone
The Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of Health and Human Services, issued the directive, said the goal is to ensure that sponsors — usually a parent or guardian — are properly vetted.

The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

This too cannot be emphasized enough: the tools are no longer "out there," some other website where you need an account and maybe a subscription. They're in the browsers, in the productivity software, and in the courseware. To cut them out of the loop will now require enormous energies. +

Not all students will use these tools and not all will have access to them. But increasingly institutions are looking to provide that access and are encouraging use of the tools in at least qualified ways. (And this is to say nothing of the workplace environment or general social expectations.) +

They might be making Trump mad, but Newsom has been throwing these at the press -- if you think these are beneath my office, why don't you say that when the president does the same thing? He's exposing that the media has a separate set of standards for Our Very Special Boy and that's good.

This is the point. And it's finally starting to break through. It's getting attention. Newsom may not be the best option for president and I'm certainly hoping someone else comes along, but right now he's the only one REALLY punching back hard in the way that's breaking through.

Trump has stolen $584 million from contracts that UCLA was awarded to conduct research, and all he is asking is ... checks notes ... $1,172 million in cash to release the stolen funds. I believe the secret to a successful protection racket is to keep the theft (and violence) to a tolerable level.

On Threads yesterday, a retired airline exec said that trump’s plane went to Epstein Island 37 times. They keep the flight plans for 10 years. If true, why is this not all over the news? This info wouldn’t be in Epsteins files but would be found in trumps files. No one is thinking about this.

I would have students saying they worked harder when I would assign a limerick (A LIMERICK!) than the essays they'd done in school because they got a kick out of trying to make a rhyming setup and punchline within the form. A LIMERICK!
