This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Minnesota is the best of us.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

In California, the DOJ has deployed poll monitors in Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Riverside, and Fresno Counties. In New Jersey, they’re stationed in Passaic County. Don’t let these voter intimidation tactics by the Trump administration stop you from voting.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

#Bluesky is a silly place.

Stop calling for resignations and start calling for arrests.

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought. "By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

I put together a list of available tools for the #Bluesky platform. #BuildInPublic

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Excellent ICE response guide for academic library workers from the Library Freedom Project. Includes proactive defense prep as well as rapid response. Please RT, library friends. libraryfreedom.org/wp-content/u...

My biggest complaint with the new Superman movie is them giving Ma and Pa Kent southern accents. They're Kansans; they're not from the South! Other than that, though, fun movie!

This is literally "Your papers, please." It's Stasi shit. That's what Homan is declaring, here. Anyone who "looks foreign" is subject to detainment and harassment. Fail to persuade ICE thugs of your citizenship, and you risk arrest. And we've all seen video of what happens if you try to turn away.

Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."

. Watching Grok morph into Mechahitler within hours of Elon “de-wokeifying” it is the best unintentional ad for content moderation I’ve ever seen. .

Interesting theory that recent LLM modells' use of the em-dash is tied to token minimization (and the scanning of pre-digitization texts). https://msukhareva.substack.com/p/the-mystery-of-emdashes-part-two​

An interesting and unsettling database of regulatory changes that have taken effect since the beginning of the current administration. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/tracking-regulatory-changes-in-the-second-trump-administration/

This is so true. 99% of book bans have the intended effect: you never hear about those books again. The 1% of banned books that become infamous bestsellers elsewhere are not the norm.

Along the theme of interesting data, here's a database of lawsuits challenging Trump administration initiatives. https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-litigation-legal-challenges-trump-administration/​

Another interesting and scary interactive map: This one shows people disappeared by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and where they were taken. https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/danielleharlow/viz/UnitedStatesDisappearedTracker/Map
