Roughly 100 ICE vehicles are on their way to a warehouse in Western Maryland, as signs mount of an impending operation here.
Columbia President with NEW details:
5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.
They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."
A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.
They ignored him & took the student.
it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
UPDATE: ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL REGISTER IT IS SUPPLIERS, NOT NEW PATIENT ENROLLEES.
This is still very bad, but less overtly bad.

Yeah I’m ready to be done with them now.
Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
“Joy is an act of resistance.” Or, as Rebecca Solnit wrote in Hope in the Dark, “Joy doesn't betray but sustains activism. And when you face a politics that aspires to make you fearful, alienated and isolated, joy is a fine initial act of insurrection."
The feds do not share how many agents are still in Minnesota or how many arrests are taking place, but anecdotal accounts show their activities moving from the Twin Cities (where they encountered strong opposition) to suburbs, exurbs & small towns. (3) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
This is a really wonderful read.

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive.
Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list.
Lets close out this season and make their day! :)
What I need people to understand is when legislators argue that professors should teach more and research less, it's not because they think our research is actually worthless. It's because they don't want anyone to be able to develop or disseminate expertise that goes against their party line.

I too have an onion-themed picture from an airport today.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
An immigration court dropped its case against Turkish graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, a little less than a year after federal agents arrested her on a street near Tufts University
I just hope Brandi Carlile and Bad Bunny have fun
This @startribune.com article provides an excellent account and timeline of the ICE invasion of Minneapolis. Don't forget the people of Minnesota as the federal occupation of our state continues.

Really hoping the Sundance doc Cookie Queens gets picked up! It was charming and thought-provoking without being didactic.

New Hampshire ICE news: The Rockingham county measure to block ICE from using the Brentwood jail to house 150 detainees was successful & the contract has been tabled indefinitely
it's important to take "indefinitely" very literally. it would also be correct to say "for now, until the next unknown"
It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.
A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.
👏👏👏
In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.
