SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration one day before ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

In case you missed it, the day before Mahmoud Khalil’s detention by Ice none other than Shai Davidai tweeted at Rubio demanding his deportation. And once he was apprehended, he felt these were legit “consequences” for him protesting. A faculty member @columbiauniversity.bsky.social the shameful.

You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Parapraxis and the Psychosocial Foundation are growing. New clinical work (!!), refreshed website, the usual extra-academic seminars, etc. Hannah Z, Alex C, etc. are working their butts off. It's changed my life to have them around. If you feel the same, please subscribe.

“We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give.”– Ursula

some of the desire to make ppl's votes for Trump make sense by showing failures to appeal to their material conditions refuse to take up how people's politics (including one's own) are predicated on incoherent and irrational investments that can't simply be addressed by saying "material conditions"

Been thinking about this so much with the increases in Latino and black men voting for Trump. A low key racist view is the idea that right wing propaganda somehow should not work on them and… it’s simply not true!

There really are places in this country where you encounter people whose parents lived lives that reveal how much communism was alive, not just as an idea, but as common quality of life.

Omg just realized you can still view likes on bluesky and my heart rejoices! I think the loss of that was maybe the biggest reason I left twitter. I love seeing who likes stuff! You can find really interesting people to follow that way and also catch Ted Cruz’s account liking porn!
