"It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts. The more detainees, the more money they make." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

So thankful for my Austrian, Czech, German, & Ukrainian Fulbrights. Recently spent time helping evaluate Ukrainian Fulbright proposals. What kind of anti-intellectual know-nothings would put this spectacular program on hold? A plague on akk your houses until the seventh generation.

It was such a great pleasure to attend the presentation of #MonikaFaber 's Festschrift last night; and not just because I owe her so much. Thanks to #WalterMoser, #AlbertinaMuseum, #PhotoinstitutBonartes and others who made it happen! (It was honour to contribute a short chapter.)
