One of my USF colleagues, Dr Ann Lawani, has been kidnapped by ICE. Dr Lawani is the director of the university's master's entry program in nursing and a vital leader in our community. Her detainment is further evidence of the racism and brutality propped up by Republicans in power.

A University of San Francisco nursing professor who was granted protection from deportation to her native Nigeria has spent the last eight weeks in ICE detention in Louisiana, thousands of miles from her family.

I’m worried that this government of the reality TV actors doesn’t know what it’s doing 

I miss Pete Buttigieg.

"She had previously applied for asylum, but her application was denied in 2013. However, the same judge ruled that she could not be deported to Nigeria because she faced a risk of persecution." per her member of congress, ICE appears to be trying to deport her to a third country

ICE holds esteemed USF nursing professor for eight weeks

Dr. Ann Lawani has lived in the U.S. on a valid work permit for 21 years. Agents removed her from her home on Sept. 16.

Cool new research finds a satellite can see the air pollution from a data center’s onsite gas turbines. Emissions at the Colossus 2 power plant in Southaven, MS averaged about 16 times what its permit implies.

Multiple reports stated that when Trump received his second briefing about Jensen Huang's affair with a Chinese spy, he did nothing. Turns out that is not true. Trump dumped a HUGE stake in NVIDIA stock. He didn't warn Huang. He didn't order investigations into national security risks.

People may not remember but April 2025 was a time when almost everyone with any hint of power was just rolling over for the regime. This was so impressive. He (and many brave Americans) helped turn the tide.

There are some of us who see beauty in places others simply cannot. There was never really much of a choice for us. We learned how to seek out what good we could find in the hard places we came from, and it primed our vision to see the things, and the people, that get left out of the frame...

Kennedy’s anti-vaxx nonprofit literally took credit for the falling childhood vaccine rates in 2022, calling it a “silver living” to Covid and citing years of his anti-vaccine activism. This measles outbreak is just evidence of his great success as an anti-vaxxer since 2005!

Melody Schreiber@melodyschreiber.com · 3d ago

I think it is disingenuous at best to say Kennedy isn't responsible for the measles outbreak and decreasing vaccination rates because he's only been in office ~2 years. What did he do in his time before HHS sec?

Maria Flores Garcia was her high school’s valedictorian & is a student at UMD. Her arrest is the latest example of how Trump lied when he said that he’d only go after the “worst of the worst.”   I’m seeking answers on Maria’s detention & working to get her released.

I wrote for @ms.now about Stephen Miller's new gig and how a US concentration camp system you've never heard of underlines the importance of dismantling DHS. (For the record, I tried to get the headline "Miller's Crossing" for this, but got shot down.)

Miller’s new position as White House chief of staff emphasizes Trump’s commitment to cruel and lawless detention.
