ICE’s investigative arm is now probing Arizona’s elections Arizona's AG said the probe was "based on nothing but conspiracy theories and lies."

Been warning for quite a while now that ICE will be used as Trump's personal brown shirts.

This is my bi-monthly beg for you to read @reecejones.bsky.social's Nobody is Protected.

Here's my Blooski statement that Sen. Kennedy calls hyperbolic. I will defend natural law until the day I die, Senator. People's rights come from their humanity, not their government. If ordered to act unethically, you should always refuse. Do Republicans now disagree?

‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

How Trump's DHS is Fighting to Pull Local Cops to its Side As Trump's DHS grows in size and power, it is attempting to pull local law enforcement on its side in its war on sanctuary policies.

A great piece by @tylerfromtexas.bsky.social on cooperation by local cops and ICE/Border Patrol, with a few quotes from me inkstickmedia.com/how-trumps-d...

How Trump's DHS is Fighting to Pull Local Cops to its Side As Trump's DHS grows in size and power, it is attempting to pull local law enforcement on its side in its war on sanctuary policies.

“All that’s happened is the Trump administration has brought what was before in the shadows of the border into the glaring light of a major American city," says @reecejones.bsky.social

Great to see you in person

I told students jobs such as "Global Geopolitics Lead" exist in the private sector. Considering today...maybe they'll believe me. I suggest they follow @gmbutts.bsky.social @reecejones.bsky.social and @klausdodds.bsky.social (would love a hangout right about now).

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.

I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Book cover for *Easting the West: Theorizing the Postliberal Conjuncture from China* by Chenchen Zhang, published by Oxford. The cover features a building that is half Temple of Heaven and half Capitol Hill, set against a pale background.

It's got a cover!
Coming out in June.

It’s weird being on camera for things. Thanks @mnangryman.bsky.social for the awesome angry interview.

Also HIGHLY recommend reading NOBODY IS PROTECTED by @reecejones.bsky.social

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

🔥 “To me, when we're talking about what justice looks like, it's ultimately getting to a place where every single fascist agent and the leaders that directed them to do what they did are held accountable to the highest degree of the law. And that means prosecution.”
