In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is not a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained. What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is that her detention was caught on camera. What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

Y’all. 30+ police stormed a Quaker Meetinghouse to arrest members of “Youth Demand”. Phones & laptops confiscated. 6 arrested. Youth Demand is a youth-led nonviolent resistance campaign focused on gen0cide & climate. “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory.”

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Probably unpopular opinion: Rachel Maddow should have quit in solidarity with Joy Reid. Words of support ring hollow if not accompanied by action. Folks be all about the talk of solidarity. What about the LIFE of solidarity? Walk the walk. Even —especially — if the stakes are high.
