For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I'm just disappointed they didn't also request an electronic list finalizer (E.L.F.)

a grad school submission document with a realistic yule log fire crackling in the background

1990s era button to enable yule log mode

The bare-bones grad application review portal we use doesn't have a clear way to batch-download submissions, but it DOES have a "yule log" mode that adds a fireplace video behind the applications 😭

I am drawn to candidates who have specific reasons for wanting to be here (e.g., family is nearby) bc they'll stick around. But I've heard others imply those candidates are applying for the wrong reasons. Which opinion is more common and what advice do you give ps on the market?

A screenshot of a Wikipedia article for Halford E. Luccock. The highlighted text quotes his 1938 sermon warning that when fascism comes to America, it won’t be called fascism but will be called “Americanism.”

And notice: 11 stars—the number of states in the Confederacy. “Americanism” is the new fascism, as predicted.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

The Plot Against Jim Ryan Was his ouster a federal coup — or an opportunistic inside job?

"'People who care about the future of an independent U.S. higher-education system must take seriously the authoritarian aims of the federal government,' said Dominique Baker"

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

US citizen shot by ICE in Ontario, Calif

🧵Trump's masked thugs shot a 24-year-old US citizen last Thurs in Ontario, Calif.

He had just left his home and saw a bunch of ICE agents surrounding a car.

He stopped and simply told them, "Hey, there's a bunch of kids about to be across the street because they're going to school."

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

In housing markets, new construction soaks up high end demand, thereby keeping existing more affordable homes available at those more affordable prices.

Thank you @katrinacallsen.com and @creighdeeds.bsky.social for demanding UVA Interim President Mahoney reverse this decision.

Virginians, if you haven't voted in the state-wide election already, do it!!! Then we can replace this BOV, which has irretrievably lost the UVA community's confidence.

We have a super exciting half-day planned for the Emotion Preconference at #SPSP2026. We'd love to see you there!!

The Justice Department Announces Agreement with University of Virginia WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an agreement with the University of Virginia (“UVA”) that will protect UVA’s students, faculty, and employees from violations of federal ci...

This is shameful.

It’s not the US president’s role to oversee our state public universities.

Appeasement is a road to nowhere.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

UVA's president and board were engaging in secret negotiations with Trump's DOJ even as they publicly rejected the Compact for Academic Excellence. We'll be reporting to them quarterly. I'm not sure what this means for us but I can imagine it's all that good. federalinfo.virginia.edu/sites/federa...

WashU in STL just announced, in a university-wide email, that we will NOT be signing The Compact.

This statement, I believe, exists thanks to the tremendous energy generated w/in our community by, among others, the Faculty Senate, the revived AAUP, and student journalists. I'm proud of everybody.

Vance spokesperson: “Gavin Newsom wants people to think this exercise is dangerous.”

Sara Whitmer • • • 1h • 8 I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance. 75 12 comments

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
