Came in today to 2 "you're the best" emails from profs and one I talked to in the hallway who proudly told me all the updates he made to his class on Moodle after my training and... maybe I don't suck at this job as much as it feels like sometimes?

Dan McQuade was the lifeblood of Philly writers, a mensch whose gift for writing was only surpassed by his love of his country, Philadelphia. The city will never be the same without him.

DHS agents acting like they're in the last scene in the blair witch project
I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Student: Professor Zimmerman, where does Upstate New York start in your opinion?
Me a Californian: The Catskills, I guess. What do you think?
Student: Anything north of The Bronx.
New Yorkers are ridiculous.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

Bozos could keep the Post running for the equivalent of me taking someone out to dinner at Olive Garden
Will Lewis will frame layoffs as inevitable, given the Post's reported losses (~100M in '24). But owner Jeff Bezos is worth ~$250B. Assuming no changes to his net worth or inflation (lol) Bezos could absorb Post's losses until he's 2,562 years old. Instead, he's killing off his investment on purpose

Oops my call to Fetterman's office started out polite but ended with "whatever staffer is listening to this, you should quit your job if you can't get him to vote against funding the agency that's executing Americans in the streets"

Why is Bill Kristol so much better at reading the room than Democratic party "leadership"
I am underwhelmed by “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” The minimum demand should be all ICE and CBP agents off the streets of Minnesota. The minimum.
