ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

“He has Constitutional rights.”

“No.”

ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

We’re looking for a postdoc to join our Max Planck group in Germany some time in 2026. If you have computational and/or neuroimaging expertise, and are interested in questions intersecting perception and cognition, please reach out! I’ll also be happy to chat at the #Bernsteinconference this week.

America is now the country where people who just quote Charlie Kirk face more consequences than pedophiles in the Epstein files.

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

1. Cory Zukatis - found around 10:30am hanging in Vicksburg MS. He was homeless.

2. Trey Reed - found hanging around 7:05am at Delta State University.

Black folks are calling it for what it is: a lynching. Because no Black man takes his own life by hanging himself from a tree.

Rest in peace

Fear will try to convince us to isolate, to hoard resources, to avoid community, to build the least threatening campaigns making little impact.

A grounded risk assessment will move us closer to each other, it’ll remind us of that we are millions, it’ll make our work more bold and more brave.

Did the right wing idiots who are screaming for us to mourn Charlie Kirk mourn her, her husband or even her dog? The hypocrisy is appalling.
