The anti side made a wide range of arguments, but the one that struck me the most was the retired white homeowner who, on a day that her neighbors were being kidnapped by ICE, said that allowing new apartment buildings would be like "Trump's authoritarianism"

nice article. Dropout is so great and it's such a smart, lean business. everything they do plays into everything else. you become a fan of a few of the cast members and then you watch everything they are involved in

Dropout is the part-internet, part-studio streaming service that built its own comedy ecosystem

After a nimble rebrand, the thriving streaming service Dropout is doubling down on its focus on comedy, expanding into live shows and scripted programming.

great, prescient read and nails the selection effect at play: imagine what a 20 year old must be like to want to primarily identify as a Republican. I miss Alex Pareene. nobody seems to know what he’s up to anymore

I’m far from the first to make this joke, but one way Senator Heller might’ve been able to tell that this kid was racist was that he was a member of the College Republicans.

I’m not merely being glib: Racial resentment has been a driving force behind College Republican recruitment for years, but at this point it’s really all they have left to offer. In the age of President Donald Trump, what inspires a young person not merely to be conservative or vote Republican, but to get active in organized Republican politics? Do you think it’s a fervent belief that Paul Ryan knows the optimal tax policy to spur economic growth? Or do you think it’s more likely to be something else?

The action is in the reaction. A shortcoming of the mass rally/march as a tactic is that it often fails to raise significant tension, allowing the enemy to just ignore it, which can be demoralizing. Luckily Stephen Miller, a zealous but incompetent authoritarian, has solved this problem for No Kings

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

yikes

The cephalothorax comprises the carapace, eyes, chelicerae (mouth parts), pedipalps (which have chelae, commonly called claws or pincers) and four pairs of walking legs. Scorpions have two eyes on the top of the cephalothorax, and usually two to five pairs of eyes along the front corners of the cephalothorax. While unable to form sharp images, their central eyes are amongst the most light sensitive in the animal kingdom, especially in dim light, which makes it possible for nocturnal species to use starlight to navigate at night.[43] The chelicerae are at the front and below the carapace. They are pincer-like and have three segments and "teeth".[44][45] The brain of a scorpion is located in the front part of the cephalothorax, just above the esophagus.[46] As in other arachnids, the nervous system is highly concentrated in the cephalothorax, but has a long ventral nerve cord with segmented ganglia which may be a primitive trait.[47]

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.
