“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"
Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt
Minneapolis schools closed for the week citing safety concerns after an encounter involving armed Border Patrol agents near Roosevelt High School.

BREAKING: The Hennepin County District Attorney's office says they have jurisdiction to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.
An official from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis told MPR News that armed U.S. Border Patrol goons came onto school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people; they handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.
ICE agents tackled peaceful protesters and dragged them at the front of the federal building. I believe the order to crank up the violence was an order from the top of this shit heap so he could enact martial law. #FuckICE #Pinks #ProudBlue #Minnesota #ReneeGood

Ok I know I am a year behind but I finally started watching Nobody Wants This and a)Adam Brody is completely believable Rabbi; b) I would totally watch a documentary about the history of documentaries; and c) @shaynasheinfeld.bsky.social was right about the way Jewish women are portrayed in it

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.
When the open letter from univ prez against Trump over-reach was released on Tues morning, it had 180 signers. By Tues evening, over 270. Through the day Wed (yesterday) it went into mid-300s. This morning, Thurs, starts at more than 400. This is significant. (Point of my post.)

my actual unironic advice to undergrads is to major in something you're actually passionate about/interested in, and then try and *minor* in either CS or stats. you would be surprised how how much being the person who knows a substantive thing and can do some basic computer/stats stuff can pay off
i gave a talk last night and one of the points i made is that in addition to articulating a real defense of the Constitution, the opposition to Trump needs an actual constitutional vision that it can connect to a set of material policies.
Nothing could bring me more joy in Adar & on #Purim than seeing my chronically ill child having a good time and just being happy at our shul's Purim party. 🥰 #PurimSameach #LongCovid

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!
Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2y agoAfter publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!
So far this year I've reread the first 4 Earth's Children books. Because the Upper Paleolithic era is more appealing rn than much of our current reality.
