To protect immigrant students, a Chicago-area college told Flock to remove its cameras. The company refused.
Elgin Community College resorted to covering the surveillance cameras with trash bags and zip ties. Public records show that federal immigration authorities have accessed Flock data at other Illinois ...

Matthew Shepard died on October 12th in 1998, 28 years ago. His ashes were interred at Washington National Cathedral 20 years later, in 2018, because before Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson offered the Cathedral's crypt, his family had no place for him that would be safe from desecration.

They can lose. But it's going to be messy and dirty. And btw, the midterms are not a lock. They will pull every dirty trick in the book, and then some. We are playing the game at a disadvantage and have to win anyway. That's no easy task.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

I read that Ossoff told some young people that 'despair is a luxury' and that some people are mad. I think that it's incorrect to say that it is a 'luxury' but I'm with Audre Lorde who said that it is in fact a 'tool of your enemies.'

The deployment of National Guard troops into cities has been so normalized that it barely merits a mention in the press or among the public anymore. D.C. remains occupied, Memphis is occupied, so is New Orleans... It's incredible to me.

Fascism is also about the pleasure of seeing unwanted bodies mutilated, tortured, killed. This has nothing to do with Hasan's crimes. It has to do with bringing back public lynchings. They're signaling to their base that they can now rejoice in the the death of undesirables.

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

The Converse ad is vile. And it’s especially vile, *uniquely* vile because there have been at least 22 lynchings of Black people across the US since March 2025. A fact that has been largely unreported and hidden from the national conversation. Extreme TW for this report on lynchings from 2020-2025

Locking people up for using drugs will never make sense to me. The people I've known who've used drugs, in spite of the threat of severe consequences, did so bc they are not/were not okay. Locking people in dungeons traumatizes them further and makes these patterns even harder to break.
