Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador. /technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

A reminder that, while Wisconsin's judge is as high profile as a springtime downballot race gets, it really is all about who turns out amid a bit drop off: at the equivalent point of the election in the fall of 2024, 1.4 million Wisconsinites had voted. As of this morning, we're at 543,875.

Freshly injected with estradiol. Had some issues prepping, but the injection itself went well. A little weirded out by doing it though. First time that’s happened aside from doing my first injection with the nurse. Hoping it’s back to feeling normal again next week.

Love that republicans who KNOW a trans person are SLIGHTLY more likely to favor bans against child trans healthcare. Whereas everyone else their positivity is improved by knowing one of us.

They know they can't logistically pull off "mass deportations" they promises their base so doing high-profile, intentionally-controversial actions (which they turn into content) creates the illusion of mass deportations while enraging people their base hates

Wild to see this clearly in numbers that the Republican view is motivated primarily by bigotry given knowing a trans person increases their opposition, while anyone else that knows a trans person is more likely to support their rights.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

What Rumeysa Ozturk is apparently getting deported over—signing on to a campus op-ed in support of a student govt resolution calling for institutional action by the university—is not just the essence of protected speech, but the kind of thing that critics of disruptive protest claim to support.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.
