As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

DOGE’s destruction of USAID seems to have vanished from the conversation about Musk, as though he did nothing in government, when in fact his impact was huge and devastating.

truly just a shameful era. how fucking pathetic www.reuters.com/world/us/rub...

“He lived a full life, fought a good fight.” RIP Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

What I don’t see anyone mentioning in re: the U.S. student visa fiasco is the suffering of so many students from the Global South for whom admission to a U.S. university a life-changing ticket that they and their families had sacrificed years for— now lost.

Read this powerful piece.

The wannabe GWOT operators of ICE vs actual GWOT allies from Afghanistan. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Academia makes me feel intensely alienated on the basis of having a social circle made up mostly of service industry workers and refugees.

Absolutely shocking. “A UK Special Forces officer personally rejected 1,585 resettlement applications from Afghans w/ credible links to special forces…MoD told the court the officer may have been connected to the ongoing inquiry into alleged war crimes” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The ex US ambassador to Israel says there are not 2 million innocent civilians in Gaza and the line between civilians and terrorists in Gaza is ‘mostly invisible.’ How is this not openly genocidal rhetoric, and incitement to violence against an entire people?

Just caught my British husband in the kitchen spreading butter on pan dulce. Defensively: “What? I don’t know the culture! Is it not bread?”

I think the real "monsters" are the people who would - without any due process - dump Asian refugees in the middle of a civil-war-torn African nation just for the sport of it. But that's just me

i say this not to make an unfair comparison but to i think to accurately describe it: this is middle passage shit. kidnapping followed by human trafficking to foreign and dangerous lands.

This definitely seems like an inevitable endpoint of some kind.

I think a lot recently about my visit to this Walter Benjamin memorial, which is not a Walter Benjamin memorial, but a memorial to all those who suffer, as he did, the oppression of borders.

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Silently judging every single person who posts nice things about Joe Biden because he’s sick. Beyond even Gaza, he was responsible for the suffering of hundreds of thousands of Afghans in the catastrophic withdrawal, and explicitly did not give a shit.

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer

what the chicken-fried fuck is this

I'm at the state of the exception / I'm at the transnational right-wing crimes / I'm at the ccccccccombination state of the exception and transnational right-wing crimes internationalpolicy.org/publications...

They set fire to a hotel where refugees were forced to live, attacked mosques and homes, stopped people driving into an area if they weren’t white. “grievances” remember violent racism is always our fault

NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!

Trump is blocking Afghan allies who PROTECTED OUR TROOPS from coming here as refugees, so that Stephen Miller and Elon Musk can live out their dreams of bringing more white immigrants to the United States at taxpayer expense - flown here on a private chartered jet by the State Department. Sickening.

Love to be moving house while friends in Rawalpindi send me various hysterical rumors about drone attacks close to them

this kind of dense, walkable urbanism is illegal to build in the United States
