Huh. Interesting.
"They said Isaiah Hodgson was stationed in Long Beach at the time and would stay at various hotels in the area, but Border Patrol agents had to regularly change lodgings because protesters would be “yelling at night” outside."
Parents of notorious Border Patrol agent blame public backlash for his overdose death
It’s the first time they’ve spoken out since their son’s controversial arrest of a U.S. citizen and his drunken confrontation with police drew intense scrutiny.

it drives me crazy that the preferred solution for these guys to ostensibly avoid war is to return to the world order and social structures that gave us 100% of prior World Wars

🧵ICE cut off her wedding ring.

Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old US citizen, a grandmother, 5’4’, and white.

She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby.

She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.

The third time in 2 months that the official DHS account has tweeted a Nazi term which means "ethnic cleansing" of all people of color from America and Europe.

Vance wrote a whole insipid book and launched his political career as the self-appointed spokesman for the grievances of a distinct ethnic identity whose immigration to this continent peaked three centuries ago.
Folks, would you believe me if I told you JD Vance was over there railing against the immigrants as the reason for the antisemitism

Yeah the dissonance here is that when they say “empathy” is killing “Western civilization,” what they’re signaling is that recognizing the humanity and rights of non-white people is genocidal towards white people.

Yes it is curious. It’s because they lie.

Someone on here mocked me a little when I (gently) explained that edtech’s entire use case in higherEd is to build a higher quality training dataset than the ones AI can scrape from the internet. And to labor bust.

I don’t know how else to say it!
kind of curious about the weird convergence/timing of the right wing witch hunt in academia with the attempt to replace academia with AI slop and how these bogus "transparency" measures facilitate both. how "fortuitous" for someone.

one of the great, pernicious myths perpetrated about higher ed—which media, higher ed administrators, politicians, and a number of faculty are complicit in spreading—is that humanities departments close due to some combination of cratering student demand and unjustifiable cost. It’s not true
My humanities dept was relevant. Majors were up. Courses were 100% enrolled. Revenue positive, GE serving, etc etc. We were still eliminated.

The problem is ideological administrative destruction. Couldn’t write a report, a self study, or a spreadsheet against that.
'For humanities departments to continue to matter, they must challenge the modern world rather than accommodate it. Indeed, the most useful lesson the humanities have to offer today is a profoundly countercultural one: Difficulty is good, an end in its own right.' 2/2

Surely the leadership of her party would come out and make statements of solidarity and follow up with action on this gross abuse of power, right?
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
