Aw, thanks!
Police forces consistently use the Olympics their own private cash machine. LAPD is already asking for additional $100 million & weβre 2.5 full years away from the Games. Gives lie to LA28 organizersβ claims that it will deliver a *completely privately funded Olympics*

The U.S.-Born Unemployment Rate Rose After Trump Reduced Immigration www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...
i have written this a few times now but the reason JD Vance spends all day posting is that they barely tolerate his presence in the white house and have locked him out of every decision of consequence. he is basically unemployed
New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant
βThis is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.β www.404media.co/inside-ices-...
This is regime change without any pretense.
If your drug-dealing pres be Honduran,
Weβll give that criminal a pardon
But if youβre the head of Venezuela
Trump will send in troops to jail ya
"Wherever the agents appear, even when they lean idly, chatting, we see the cold threat of violence and the fragility of freedom. And in the brave crowds who gather to confront them, scrambling their illusion of total control, we see the power of solidarity..."

my latest is on the odd confluence of unitary executive theory with a president who is mostly AWOL from the business of governance (gift link)
I have bad news for you about Democrats and policing *reform*
Aw, thanks!!! Hope the class went well!
For those that have not been following what's happening in San Francisco--an unelected cryptocurrency billionaire just gave millions to the city to expand and consolidate its massive surveillance apparatus (which has just been discovered to be leaking data to ICE) and found a police foundation.
How to record ICE:
1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

Readers, @uncpress.bsky.social has a new website and is celebrating with a 48-hour 50% flash sale (US only, use code 01NEWSITE50) so I thought I'd do a π§΅of some of my favorite American modern history titles available at uncpress.org
Another favorite is DARE to Say No, by @mfkantor.bsky.social, an insightful critical study of something often remembered as a joke that bridges the fields of education history, carceral history, and political history: uncpress.org/978146967904...
Say it again for those in the back: HUMANITIES USUALLY SUBSIDIZE STEM at most R1s. Yes we have receipts.
genuinely brings me pleasure that no one respects this guy (least of all himself)
Lemme think. Thats a good option for resistance. I have some journal articles more focused on resistance that could work. DM me and we can chat
Sounds good!
