History faculty at Columbia & Barnard decrying the harassment of @mark-bray.bsky.social: "This is the first case in recent memory of a historian who has fled the country after receiving death threats on account of the history that they teach."

I've been following Aaron since before the latest ICE immigration stuff and he is one of the most valuable ones you can have. True professional context and experience of the headlines. He's not just bloviating he actually understands the full legal case history.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

Hall of Fame player using his hall of fame brain not to try to do too much.

Also won game with his brain in Philly suggesting the team try the wheel play,

I’m sorry to keep bringing this up but I can’t believe the Red Sox let a player with Mookie Betts’ talent, work ethic, and baseball IQ go

Mookie Betts has won two playoff games in a row drawing bases loaded walks after the opposing team intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani.

being a dodgers fan must be incredible. you check in around september, and either they win the world series or you start watching the lakers. then if the lakers don’t win the finals you can check stats and start bragging about how many all-stars the dodgers have

Holy crap. This is terrible.

The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

This is the guy the Dem establishment is so afraid of? Wish we had many more like him. Great response below from Katelyn that sums up how many of us feel about this video.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

This headline is obviously ultra-simplified but at some level it's correct, my retirement account is at the mercy of the stupidest, most gullible prats (acting collectively on the belief that everybody else is stupid) in the world

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

And bailed on attending the summit in Egypt with Trump on an obvious pretext

I can assure you that the one thing a New York City cop is not gonna do about a mayor they don’t like is just quit. They might turn their backs on him, they will absolutely crush candies with greater abandon, but absent some real concrete better offer they’re not giving up that pension voluntarily.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

The siren call of electoral strategy and analysis partially crowded out work on things like law, organizational resistance, and protest. I blame myself, too

James Michael Johnson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is fanatically devoted to Donald Trump and expresses his adoration by endeavoring to give Trump everything he wants, despite never having heard a word Trump has written or said or any specific account of anything Trump has done.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

"For decades, federal policy treated houses of worship as 'sensitive locations,' places enforcement was to avoid unless absolutely necessary. That protection ended in 2025, when ICE and Border Patrol were authorized to conduct arrests around churches and religious services." /1
Trump: Religious Freedom for Me but Not for Thee
His administration wrapped itself in faith while making worship a risk for others.

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.
