I love that the kids are singing in their jackets and backpacks. Culture is celebrated everyday.

Happy Indigenous people’s day! #indigenouspeoplesday

After getting zero firm commitments to this point from the first nine invitees, the Trump administration is extending its proposed compact to all colleges. Expect some red-state publics to say yes.

Unfortunately the warnings were ”being cops” and “having tear gas”

Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · 1d

A federal judge ordered federal agents last week to issue two warnings before using tear gas.

Witnesses said they heard no warnings and none can be heard on videos, @chicago.suntimes.com reports

Federal agents deployed tear gas after Albany Park residents protested to their attempts to detain a resident of the Northwest Side neighborhood, @vimiller.bsky.social reports for the @chicago.suntimes.com

Important point. Those who are attracted to this type of job are not healthy, pro-social people.

While I think ICE agents should face criminal charges for their kidnapping of immigrants, they should face long, and perhaps lifetime, prison sentences for anything like this involving kids. An ICE agent willing to do this is not someone who should be out among society even after Dems retake power.

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.

"After some early morning abductions"

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

I would throw money at a t-shirt that says in all caps “TAKE A LOOK, IT’S IN A BOOK” over a rainbow.

Sarah J. Jackson @sjjphd.bsky.social · 2d

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Sara Partridge, PhD @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 2d

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

So yes, I think these men have no use for other humans - they wouldn't be so obsessed with robots if they did - and they want to eliminate creative work. But the other half of "why can't they make labor easier" is they don't do a lot of that labor. They invented the roomba and called it a day.

In theory the kitchen should be the easiest space on the planet to clean and it's not because it's designed by men who don't use kitchens. That's it.

Don't get me started on how if I'm not careful my fish slips into a corner of my freezer that requires me to remove the freezer basket to reach

And I like to focus on kitchen stuff because it makes no sense that I have to watch a youtub video to learn how to take apart my dishwasher to clean it and that entire chunks of it havenot been designed to be clean.

I mean we can talk about the way these tech billionaires have scrambled eggs for brains, but I'm going to talk about something else: kitchenware.

I like to play this game called "how hard is it to clean" and so much kitchen shit is hard to clean.
