"It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts. The more detainees, the more money they make." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.
So thankful for my Austrian, Czech, German, & Ukrainian Fulbrights. Recently spent time helping evaluate Ukrainian Fulbright proposals. What kind of anti-intellectual know-nothings would put this spectacular program on hold? A plague on akk your houses until the seventh generation.
Dan Chibnall@bookowl.bsky.social · 2y agoTrump & his morons have stranded students all across the globe and put the 80-year-old Fulbright program on hold. Funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars & students in the United States. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

A new project is born! Next two years, my colleagues and I will enjoy the privilege to research and handle an amazing collection of 19thC photographs from Polna Municipal Museum, including this tremendous daguerreotype tableau 👇 (83 × 64 cm) www.udu.cas.cz/en/projekty-... | www.muzeum-polna.cz
It was such a great pleasure to attend the presentation of #MonikaFaber 's Festschrift last night; and not just because I owe her so much. Thanks to #WalterMoser, #AlbertinaMuseum, #PhotoinstitutBonartes and others who made it happen! (It was honour to contribute a short chapter.)
Yesterday, I was happy to present a paper on photographic counterfeits /1840s-1860s at the conference ucl.cas.cz/udalosti/trh... | Hope the audience enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the research!😀 Thanks to Katerina Piorecka and Martin Hrdina.
