The ICE agents aren’t insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals, they’re the police. This is what the police look like, this is how the police operate.

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

RFK Jr and the right winger who campaigned for him, Jay Bhattacharya—a duo of kooky MAGA/MAHA bros who are together, hand in hand, taking a wrecking ball to U.S. health. What a legacy of pain & suffering they are already leaving behind 🤬

one other side of this is something that I try to emphasize to my students: "what does freedom actually mean" is not a 21stC issue anachronistically read backwards into the 18thC. The US, French, and Haitian Revolutions happened at more or less the same time, with an overlapping cast of characters

it’s not surprising but still pretty telling and a bummer that AOC is the only member of the NY delegation to great Khalil upon his return. Both Pressley and Markey greeted Öztürk (and she is a constituent of both). Columbia is not even in AOC’s district!

one of the weird things about living in this country in 2025 is that basically half of the population has memory wiped most of 2020-2021 and when you try to remind them they just say “no I’m pretty sure I would remember that” and they include the NYT and most of the democratic leadership

Really disagreed with Robert Kagan 25 years ago, about attacking Iraq. Really agree with him now, about attacking Iran. www.theatlantic.com/internationa... Including the last line. On countless fronts, it's a time to be counted. A time to choose sides and stand up.

I've lived in Los Angeles for seven years. The only times I've ever heard it this eerily, horribly quiet are in the very first days of Covid. Here's a bit of what it's like right now, in a city where so many people are rightfully afraid to go outside: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

“How many bodies did you guys grab today?” an ICE agent asked another after arresting a US citizen for filming them in action. “Oh, we grabbed 31,“ the other replied. “That was a good day today.” Then they, I shit you not, high-fived. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I was consulted, a while ago, on whether a clock that counted down the estimated carbon budget for 1.5°C would be a good idea. I asked them what they planned to do when it went past zero? I did not get an answer, and they didn’t ask me anything again. 🤷

I previously wrote an explainer about why if you just compare infections (or another outcome) directly to control measures – like Macedo and Lee did – rather than thinking about transmission, you'll generally get totally wrong conclusion about effectiveness: kucharski.substack.com/p/how-contag...

I still think 48-hour detentions without a hearing are too long. Americans are far too comfortable letting other people be detained without a legally sufficient reason.
