ICE will be breaking into dorms soon:
But then, fascist Educador . . . .
On Wednesday, former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said the Prosecutor’s Office raided the home of Luisa Gonzalez, the former presidential candidate of the Citizen Revolution movement.
Yale University is eliminating tuition and other costs for all new undergraduates from families earning less than $100,000 a year, joining a growing number of elite campuses that are slashing costs for middle- and lower-income families.
The Ivy League school announced the change Tuesday and said it will take effect for students entering this fall.
Yale previously waived all expected costs for students from families earning less than $75,000 a year. By raising the limit to $100,000, the university said nearly half of American households with children ages 6 to 17 will qualify. The new policy also promises to waive tuition — but not all costs — for those with annual incomes under $200,000.
“This strategic investment is central to our mission to educate exceptional students from all backgrounds,” Provost Scott Strobel said. “The benefits are evident as these talented students enrich the Yale campus and go on to serve their communities after graduation.”
Again, Israeli Occupation Forces, and this ICE thug is ready for some Mitzvah buggering:
Deadly Exchange, run by Jewish Voice for Peace, has chronicled the imperial nexus between the two bodies. ICE, which has the budget of a military itself, has a vested interest in the IDF, as the two are interlinked in ideology and function.
U.S. and Israeli officials have made comparisons between their respective walls, Israeli companies provide the same radar and surveillance services used by Israel to the U.S., or law enforcement exchange programs between the U.S. police and Israeli police continue to share suppression tactics. Groups like the Anti-Defamation League have encouraged several exchanges wherein law enforcement officials, including those from ICE, have exchanged “best practices.”
Moreover, ICE and the IDF have similar modalities—operating through the use of militarized checkpoints, constant surveillance, and sometimes arbitrary detentions and arrests—making the connection between the two entities exceedingly clear. Bolstered by private contractors, ICE and the IDF maintain ideological connections. They seek to punish those who oppose the imperial and ethnonationalistic tendencies that both ICE and the IDF espouse.

A Department of Homeland Security report sent to Congress and obtained by ABC News says that two federal officers discharged their firearms during the shooting of Alex Pretti on Saturday in Minneapolis. At no point in the report does DHS say Pretti attempted to reach for his weapon.
The report says DHS conducted a preliminary review of body-worn camera footage and Customs and Border Protection documentation from the scene and is notifying lawmakers of what they say are key details from before and after Pretti was shot and killed.
MAHA — that’s right, heroin addict RFK is making america’s health absent.
Getting a doctor’s appointment will become even harder as a perfect storm hits the U.S. healthcare system
I never anticipated that the American healthcare system would become a frightening exception to classic supply-and-demand principles.
Healthcare access is usually not elective. Rather, it is mandated by disease, either in urgent-care settings or emergency rooms. Medical care is paid for not only by consumers, but also by employers and the government. Costs are not set by individuals or organizations but by public and private insurance companies. Good health is such an important priority that everyone wants the best medicine, no matter how much it costs.

Civilisations name their ages after materials. In school, we learn about the Stone Age, the Bronze Age – and we are currently in a silicon age characterised by computers and phones. What might define the next age? Omar Yaghi at the University of California, Berkeley, thinks a family of materials he helped pioneer in the 1990s has a good shot. They are metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and working out how to make them earned him a share of the 2025 Nobel prize in chemistry.
MOFs, and their cousins covalent organic frameworks (COFs), are crystalline materials, but what sets them apart is their incredible porosity. In 1999, Yaghi and his colleagues made a splash when they synthesised a zinc-based material called MOF-5 that was so riddled with pores that a couple of grams of it had an internal surface area comparable to a football field (see diagram below). The inside of the material was effectively an awful lot larger than its outside.
For decades, Yaghi has been at the forefront of making new MOFs and COFs, a discipline known as reticular chemistry, and working out just how useful they can be. Because other molecules can be sucked into these materials’ abundant pores, they turn out to be great at harvesting water from arid desert air, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and much more. Yaghi spoke to New Scientist about why he is optimistic about this work, the past, present and future of reticular chemistry – and why he thinks the age of these materials is dawning.
Old Conquistadors: Spain is granting legal status to immigrants lacking authorization — potentially 500,000 people. FUCKING quite spending money on war machines.
Jew news, ALWAYS: Jew on Jew verbal violence, and cancelling: AGO trustee Judy Schulich, executive vice president of the Schulich Foundation, was among the committee members who voted against the acquisition of Goldin’s “Stendhal Syndrome.” The video artwork juxtaposes 20 years of the artist’s photos of Classical, Baroque, and Renaissance masterpieces with photos of her friends, family, and lovers.
Artist Nan Goldin accuses the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) of censorship following the revelation that the museum reneged on a joint acquisition of her video artwork “Stendhal Syndrome” (2024) over her public support of Gaza. An internal memo of the 11-9 committee vote during a May 2025 meeting, first reported by the Globe and Mail, indicated that certain members of the acquisitions committee, including AGO trustee Judy Schulich, characterized Goldin’s 2024 speech in Berlin in solidarity with Gaza as “offensive” and “antisemitic.”
“It’s chilling that this censorship plays out especially regarding Palestine, the great exception to free speech,” Goldin said in a statement to Hyperallergic.
The acquisitions committee was referring to Goldin’s address at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in November 2o24, during the opening reception of the artist’s traveling retrospective This Will Not End Well. Goldin, who is Jewish, took to the podium to “amplify [her] position of moral outrage at the genocide in Gaza, in Lebanon,” and to criticize Germany’s conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
Jew News: The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit against Penn alleging that the University failed to provide documents requested for an investigation into its handling of antisemitism complaints from Jewish faculty and staff on Tuesday.
The Nov. 18 complaint — which was filed in a Pennsylvania federal court — claimed that Penn “refused to comply” with a July subpoena seeking discrimination complaints filed by Jewish employees, membership lists of Jewish-related campus groups, and Jewish Studies Program employee names. In a response to the suit, Penn wrote that it has “cooperated extensively with the EEOC, providing over 100 documents, totaling nearly 900 pages.”
Fucking Semen Drip Trump’s little dick boyhood rising to the top of his room temperature IQ. Iraq’s al-Maliki rejects ‘violation of sovereignty’ after Trump’s threats
Al-Maliki rejects Trump’s threat as a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty, suggesting that he will not withdraw his candidacy.
New census data showed that the U.S. population grew to roughly 342 million by midway through 2025, an increase of about 1.8 million people compared with the previous year.
That is one of the slowest growth rates in American history. Only once has the U.S. population increased by less than 0.5 percent — in 2021, when the pandemic caused deaths to soar and borders to close.
The biggest reason for the slowdown is a sharp drop in immigration. The census estimates, which measured the changes in the population from July 2024 through June 2025, found that the U.S. added about 1.3 million people through immigration. In the last full year of the Biden administration, by contrast, net immigration was just over 2.7 million.
Population growth in Florida slowed markedly last year, according to new census estimates.
More Tech Facism, look at his language.
The first thing is that megacaps would finally crush all competition, and tech would become a commodity like oil, controlled by an elite few. This is where the term “oligarchs,” – which I’ve never been on board with as a label for corporate tech leadership – starts to be a real thing.
I spent the last few weeks of 2025 documenting how the crack in the tectonic plates caused by AI was finally doing what massive world-altering tech changes always do. Namely, the techies pushed out or otherwise turned off by the rise to AI ubiquity were now starting to form clusters amongst themselves and play their own game by their own rules.
This is not revolution, it’s capitulation, but in a good way. Rather than fighting to stay relevant in World A – a slice of the tech industry dominated by shortsighted growth, OKRs over innovation, and productivity as a metric based on butts-in-seats and number of features released – these folks are using these AI advancements as tools to wield tech as a solution to problems in overlooked sectors filled with hungry-for-results customers.
The tech giants would literally have to take them out, one by one, like an infinite game of Whack-a-Mole. But let’s say they do that, carve out lanes that only they control, usurp the public internet and collude to control all the data and the banks and the devices and the code.
Oh, we knew this decades ago:
Across some of the most productive farmland in the United States, a nutrient called phosphorus has been accumulating in the soil for decades, at levels far beyond what crops actually require. While this element is essential for life-supporting root development and cellular chemistry to grow food, too much of it in the wrong places has become a growing environmental liability.
I’m part of a research effort to figure out how much phosphorus is already in the soil, to then determine how much more, if any, to add to particular fields.
Phosphorus is one of the three primary nutrients plants require for growth, along with nitrogen and potassium. Without enough phosphorus, crops struggle and production suffers.
For decades, applying phosphorus fertilizer has been a kind of insurance policy in American agriculture. If farmers weren’t sure how much was already in the soil, adding a little extra seemed safer than risking a shortfall. Fertilizer was relatively inexpensive, and the long-term consequences were poorly understood.
Unlike nitrogen, which easily escapes from soil into the air or groundwater, phosphorus sticks to soil particles. Once it’s added, it tends to remain in place. That trait made phosphorus seem environmentally benign.
However, phosphorus can still be carried off fields when rain or irrigation water erodes phosphorus-rich soil, or some of the built-up phosphorus dissolves into runoff.
Years of application have led to something no one initially planned for: accumulation.
ACAB all the fucking way:
Anti-ICE activists and community members gathered Monday night outside a SpringHill Suites in Minneapolis after reports emerged that Customs and Border Protection commander Greg Bovino was preparing to leave Minnesota. Multiple law enforcement agencies—including Minnesota State Troopers, county sheriffs, and local police—used pepper balls, threatened the use of chemical agents, and activated a long-range acoustic device before charging the crowd and making several arrests. Police declared the demonstration an unlawful assembly, with one officer explaining it was unlawful “because it was declared unlawful,” according to video from the scene showing an escalating police response as demonstrators were forced to disperse
