A final thought: the most important, efficacious, & sizeable faction on the left is plain old normie Dems, "wine moms," "resistance libs," whatever condescending term you prefer. They're the ones doing the actual work. But they are largely ignored by media, because they're organized & led by women.

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

For all of the educators trying to deal with AI, I did a deep dive in early June and these are the four articles I decided to assign to my students. 1. This is the longest of the bunch, but so wonderfully comprehensive. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.
 quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads:

“If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.”
The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.

I try to be really careful about judging my colleagues too harshly in public. I know some of you laugh at that assertion. Heh. But what concerns me is the uptake of AI among education professionals signals, how much bureaucratic control the administration has usurped from the profession.

Not hard at all. I may be biased. I have a lot of friends in English. But the AI admin push feels really targeted at how much English courses bedevil their funding models. They’re inefficient, they cannot shuttle it to professional schools, & weirdly students want it.

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)
Officers have also struggled to meet their quotas because immigrants are refusing to open their doors when ICE officers knock. The enforcement teams generally do not possess criminal arrest warrants that would allow them to force their way into their targets’ homes. ICE officials say they can’t afford to leave teams of officers waiting around for targeted immigrants to exit their homes.
