Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

Back on #BlueSky to spread the word about the chaos unfolding at University of Oregon. Admin laid off teaching profs this summer & now are telling us that TT & tenured profs will be laid off & numerous #humanities depts closed. Who will teach the largest ever incoming cohort of #ducks this fall?

AAUP President Todd Wolfson denounces planned academic cuts at the University of Oregon, laying out several concerns.

This is not surprising, but so appalling. About 180 FEMA staff members knew they would be risking their jobs to communicate the degradation of emergency response under Trump tells you how bad things are.
We can't say we were not warned, but the people who warned us are being punished for doing so.

Big news out of Florida tonight! An environmental challenge has brought the use of the Everglades detention camp to a halt.

Thanks to all who participated in our wonderful sessions at #ASA2025. See you in NYC for #ASA2026!!

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

I haven't had time to say much about this case, dealing with "third country" deportations. But it's a terrible decision for all the reasons J. Sotomayor outlines in her dissent. She is probably the best justice on immigration issues, though wrong about much else: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Sadly not a new phenomenon. Many veterans have been deported over the years, often because of drug problems they acquired after PTSD from their time in the service.

I'm still not over yesterday's obscene SCOTUS decision that our government can deport people to prisons in countries they're not from. How is anyone walking around going about their day?

Not true that ICE should use masks because of increased attacks against them.

85 cents a day may not sound like a lot for a parent to purchase fruits & veggies for their toddler. Yet the House Ag Approps Chair called this amount “hugely inflated” & wants to eventually cut the already modest $26 monthly #WIC benefit to $10/month. appropriations.house.gov/schedule/mar...

One of the fundamental themes of authoritarianism is that people doing the right thing will be labeled as doing the wrong thing.

And often, that label is applied by bystanders who are still failing to recognize that the institutions they once trusted are no longer trustworthy.

Khalil is challenging the other charge of removability (claimed misrepresentation) as First Amendment retaliation, but those claims are ongoing. Until then, the government does still have statutory authority to keep him detained.

He does have a right to a bond hearing, though.

BREAKING: "California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said California will sue the Trump administration Monday over its deployment of the National Guard to quell Los Angeles protests against federal immigration raids."

Pres. Trump is NOT invoking the Insurrection Act, so the troops will fill a limited role. Posse Comitatus Act still prevents them from engaging in direct law enforcement activities.

📣 Very timely and important work from my colleague @hwaight.bsky.social and her coauthor. Consider reading the summary thread and article 🤓!

My latest in @theguardian.com. It is not the nations on the travel ban that are a threat to US security. It is the US that robbed them of their wealth, destroyed their institutions & environment, & then denied them participation in safety built at their expense.

Thank you - feel free to let me know what you think. I really enjoyed reading your book with my students, too.

Thank you for sharing 🙂

NEW: Texas’ understaffed agricultural, restaurant and elder care sectors rely on workers who are undocumented.
