We have known for years that police culture is a threat to civilian safety. Officers are intentionally trained to cultivate a "warrior mindset" and "the warrior mindset has mutated into the warrior mentality." harvardlawreview.org/forum/vol-12...

look, I may not agree with every decision our president makes, but he is our commander in chief and I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope). Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.

What are the odds that Tr*mp had Epstein murdered because Epstein wanted to leverage his power over Tr*mp while he was going to jail? M*sk knows about it all, and uses the knowledge, and vast resources, to continually enrich himself with Tr*mp as puppet.

From @aaup.bsky.social, what to do if ICE is on your campus.
ICE On Your Campus
Questions to Ask Your Administration
1. What is campus policy with regard to working with federal immigration authorities?
2. Who should faculty contact in the event that they are approached by ICE agents?
3. What private/limited-access spaces can you make available where ICE agents cannot enter unless they have a valid warrant?
4. Are you planning to communicate with students, staff, and faculty about their privacy rights? These rights include the right to deny immigration officers entry to their homes (including dorms) unless officers have a judicial warrant, and the right to not respond to the questions or statements of an immigration officer who is seeking to enter their home without a judicial warrant.
5. Are you planning to communicate guidance that, if a federal immigration enforcement officer seeks to enter a limited-access area on campus, students and workers should ask the officer for their name, identification number, agency affiliation, and business card, and inform the officer that they are not obstructing their process but need to contact the campus legal counsel for assistance?
6. What campus authority should students contact if they are contacted by ICE?
What Chapter Leaders Can Do Now
1. Provide to faculty any campus plan or policy and any campus authority contact.
2. Create a list of immigration attorneys who can be contacted in case of emergencies day and night.
3. Distribute a family preparedness plan template to your members. Example: aaup.org/ILRC-plan
4. Conduct Know Your Rights sessions for your members; these do not have to be done by an attorney.
Recommendations for Organizing on Your Campus
Engage members via a petition, open letter, high-participation meeting, in-person demonstration, or other collective action to demand that your campus administrators:
1. Not comply with ICE to detain or deport students, faculty, or staff unless legally required to do so.
2. Ensure that noncitizens understand the difference between an …
