🚨 WaPo exclusive — The Trump admin has set its sights on deporting **1 MILLION** immigrants this year. How it went from a quiet ambition to a White House strategy. Scooping with @mariasacchetti.bsky.social.

How academics imagine their lives would look like if they decide to work in tech

The human race is perpetuating itself just fine; natalist anxieties only make sense if you’re concerned about the growth of certain demographics relative to others, which of course is the far right’s entire concern.

This!!!! 👇👇👇

I really hate the spiel that goes “if it can happen to [this group implied to be precarious and disposable] soon it will happen to [this person implied to be valuable to the interlocutor]”. It indicates more about the people saying it than I believe they realize

Folks, we give you the White House’s (handpicked) press pool:

Mahmoud Khalil addressing the judge today: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

talked to someone at one of the top italian tailoring firms. they plan on moving manufacturing to the US. said that generations of italian tailoring skill and culture can probably be transported to boise, idaho. expect flawless transition by monday.

NEW 🧵 The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border. Story: www.ft.com/content/6dc1...

Folks, we give you the White House’s (handpicked) press pool:

Two spaces after a period is a dead giveaway of questionable judgment

“Building roads and telecommunications infrastructure is fantastically loss-making and this whole thing smacks of gender”, I holler as I overturn my uncle’s barbecue grill

current yields: -us gov't 10 year: 4.51% -german 10yr: 2.57% -canadian 10yr: 3.25% -greek 10yr: 3.49% -italy: 3.81% seems suboptimal

One thing I think we really need to drill down on is that these cynical weaponizations of the rhetoric of combating antisemitism and sexual violence *are themselves* antisemitic and misogynist: they mock the suffering and desire for justice of people who have experienced these.

Over 650 known cases so far, and most have nothing to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The admin seems to be engaged in a breakneck effort to kick out every foreign student who has had even the most minor interaction with the police possible, including for TRAFFIC CITATIONS and JAYWALKING tickets.

NEW: The Board of Immigration Appeals has been formally reduced from 28 members to 15 members, an action which "coincidentally" purges every single Board member appointed during the Biden administration. This comes as the BIA faces record backlogs — which will now get much worse.

A few more years of trash talk, misinformation, and brainwashing, and the US public will think it's a good idea to invade Canada, and US soldiers will be comfortable with bombing and killing Canadians. www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Just ordered this, pretty excited 🥰 hatethegame.substack.com/p/hate-the-g...

Really seems like in a context of Gilded Age inequality segregationists require an oppressed class against which to define the benefits of membership in the polity to prevent the emergence of class consciousness Is this right or did I just do a vulgar Marxism

This is not about immigration. It’s about weakening US universities by making foreign students not want to come.

I'm guessing this is implicit and deliberate comment by whoever does the web layout?

“On February 24, Steven Donovan, 47, arrived at an apartment complex in Orlando carrying a gun while demanding entry. The man claimed he was conducting an immigration investigation and wanted to ensure there were “no Mexicans staying illegally” at the property, according to authorities.”

Hell of a contrast to journalists and pundits who insist their work has no actual impact and anyone who thinks it does is hysterical.

NEW: RĂĽmeysa Ă–ztĂĽrk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

In a heinous development, the University of Florida, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of South Florida have signed agreements to collaborate with ICE for “immigration enforcement.” www.alligator.org/article/2025...

“Germany is captivated by the world’s most charismatic vegetarian” - a US political columnist, probably

He literally imposed a *universal* tariff of 10% please stop

Honestly the psychic violence of neo-Nazis dismantling higher education under the guise of "fighting antisemitism"--and receiving significant support from mainstream Jewish organizations--is just too much.

Pressed for evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, government cites its power to deport people for beliefs

NEW: The Trump administration wants federal supervision of Columbia University—a consent decree—which could last for years and subject the university to contempt penalties if it doesn't conform to Trump admin demands. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Lot going on but cool new research here on girls becoming entrepreneurs docs.iza.org/dp17801.pdf

the inclusion of “IDEAS” here is a very good preview of what is to come

S&P 500 session lows down over 6%, worst day since March 2020. Incredible scenes.
