Cool update: Israeli news is reporting that suspects in last night’s bus bombing attack have been arrested and they’re all Israeli. One of them is an IDF officer. (Sources: t.me/N12chat/120061, t.me/N12chat/120073)

Blaming left wing people for rising fascism instead of the so-called centrists who destroyed any chance of progressive government and have now adopted far right policies about trans people, immigration and disabled people in particular is frankly a huge LOL Luke. Embarrassed for you.

I promised some historical background relevant to the implication that "DEI" had played a role in Wednesday's tragic accident in DC. Since today is the 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth, it's time to lay this out. So, herewith a 🧵 on just what it took to integrate commercial aviation in the 1st place.

This Govt has raised tuition fees, won't reopen Erasmus, is killing their trans friends, isn't serious about climate change, won't tax the rich, and has done nothing on housing. And it's elected and pretends to be left. And you ask why Gen Zs don't like democracy? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

National professional organizations like NASW and APA must act immediately to clarify that the code of ethics constitutes an affirmative defense against mandated disclosure. This cannot be another situation where orgs equivocate for a year while lives are uprooted and trust is destroyed.
