ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO. She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation. They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO. When will it be enough. #ShedShed #ViVaHerAlliance

SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett: “I didn't expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was, and why I had to wear one." Talk about irony. She and her buddies on the Court insisted any nut who wants a gun gets one.

Thou shalt not whitewash a Senator’s lifelong racism and warmongering. You will all be remembered accordingly for your words and deeds.

Good morning from DC—where you’ve got to look twice to see if the masked paramilitaries on the street are ICE or Patriot Front.
This framing is endemic in unis. For some reason, all academics have to be "responsible users" of this tech/teach responsible uses of this tech to students even if we personally don't want to use it or intend to use it in the classroom/our research. But thats not what my history classrooms are for.
