"Help Us:" TikTok Videos Show Inside Crowded Miami ICE Facility

An immigration attorney who recently visited a client at the facility described it as a "humanitarian disaster."

JD Vanished, amirite?

I stay up nights anguished about whether a comment I made at dinner was dumb and I spend my days viciously critiquing my pedagogy, my drafts, and my published work.

Meanwhile Bill Ackman thinks the Hamburgler is real and walks these streets bursting with self-assurance.

This is a very important story. It is also important to understand that this is how ICE operates. They disappear people. Family members and lawyers often cannot get information from ICE about where inmates are located and they cannot contact them. It has been this way for a long time.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

BREAKING: DHS Detains Palestinian Student from Columbia Encampment, Says Advocates

Agents told him his student visa was revoked. But he had a green card. Agents then said that was revoked too.

Man on TV talking about the New Orleans event, announcing that he hates to say this but we’re going to have to be situationally aware everywhere we go.

Women: …

How long before Google maps adds an “ICE reported” option to its directions menu so people can warn others about highway checkpoints?

I keep hearing these takes on immigrants coming to the US bc of this or that feature of the US immigration system and I a here to tell you that this country's own residents don't understand its immigration system. No one else does either. People come out of necessity.

Recessions are measles and we are being governed by anti-vaxxers who want to throw a big poverty party so we can all spread the infection among ourselves.

"Recessions aren’t detox cleanses; they don’t flush out inefficiencies and leave you leaner and stronger. They are periods of mass job losses, closed businesses and financial ruin that leave lasting scars on families, workers and entire communities." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | Recessions don’t build golden ages — they destroy lives

The Great Recession and the Covid-19 pandemic showed us that economic calamity doesn't come with any upside for millions of Americans.

If New Year’s Eve was anticlimactic, may I suggest making a milkshake with leftover eggnog and your favorite premium ice cream. It’s blissful.

In 2024 we learned that Costco has more integrity than almost all national print and broadcast news venues.

US folks are unprepared for what it will be like to not matter in the world. After we are done crashing around messing things up for others, we will sink into insignificance. MAGA will respond by saying that they don’t care, which is exactly what someone who has never felt insignificant would say.

TFW Jamelle Bouie films a TikTok in which he calls The Political Value of Time one of his favorite books of political theory from the past few years & goes on to explain & apply several of its core arguments.

I really really wish people would stop anticipating Trump voter buyer’s remorse with such certainty. This administration is their Birkin bag. They may come to see the price they pay as a sacrifice for the feelings it gives them.

When Trump said he didn't have the cash on hand, I was very worried that he actually had access to the cash he needed.

But now that he is telling the public that he DOES have (nearly) enough cash, I feel much more confident that he does not.

Every day more people who thought this would not affect them are learning that this is not the case. Still, not nearly enough people are learning quickly enough.

Is he or is he not accepting the votes of women in this election?

Mark Robinson: 'I Absolutely Want To Go Back To The America Where Women Couldn’t Vote'

In a newly unearthed video, North Carolina’s GOP nominee for governor says America was better then because Republicans "fought for real social change."

Not that many people realize that the E in DEI actually stands for Earthquake.

While there are reasons to note the fact that this person is a lawful permanent resident, it is not actually any less shocking or terrifying when someone who is not a lawful permanent resident is arrested and vanishes from all official records, leaving their family unable to find them.

The quotes from the police in this story show utter indifference to the woman this cop killed. She’s invisible to them. They don’t even mention her. All they care about is the cop who killed her and they aren’t shy about showing us.

Do tell.

Even some of the most careful and cautious planners I know truly do not understand that there is no safety net waiting to catch them.

I am routinely stunned by how much unnecessary or only marginally valuable work academics make for each other.
