I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Twitter account: Uncensored @HmanQuotes1945: Official border patrol Facebook page is posting with the banned lyrics of Michael Jackson's song.
"Jew me sue me... Kick me k*ke me."

Great news. Proud to be part of the MIT community today.

MIT becomes first school to reject proposed ‘compact’ with Trump administration - The Boston Globe

MIT president Sally Kornbluth said the university’s practices already “meet or exceed” the federal government’s list of demands.

I can’t believe how depressing it is to watch Trump crush norms, and institutions and to wonder if people are noticing.

Anytime I give a talk I always tell my audience “you are weird because you came to hear me talk about politics.” Most of the people, most of the time, don’t pay attention to politics.

I feel like I occasionally need to remind people who post frequently about politics on here that the NYT focus group people probably have more individually idiosyncratic ideologies than you do, but in terms of political attention/engagement, it is very much you and not them who's the weird one.

Thanks to @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social for bringing up this paper. Politicians gain power by reputation. Sometimes undeserved reputation

Incredible parallels in this Berinsky &
@gabelenz.bsky.social paper. Politicians didn't stand up to Joe McCarthy in large part because they incorrectly inferred McCarthy/ism was extremely popular. Not standing up to McCarthy was a kind of 1950s Popularism

I don't know why I keep reaching in my mind for this analogy but American political culture feels to me right now like what Moses found when he returned from Mt Sinai and everyone had said "screw it" and started worshipping the golden calf.
