Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

The Art of the Impersonal Essay, by Zadie Smith

In my experience, every kind of writing requires some kind of self-soothing Jedi mind trick, and, when it comes to essay composition, the rectangle is mine.

Sean Feucht set up the pins for a heated confrontation at Gas Works, but didn't knock them down. From a professional provocateur's perspective, the rally was a flop.

Nearly 50% of German physicians––twice the proportion of any other profession––joined the Nazi Party. As ICE raids hospitals and the Trump regime targets trans and disabled people, immigrants, and dissidents, how many US doctors will refuse to simply go along? www.statnews.com/2025/02/11/a...

Exellent story from @washingtonpost.com: As Raibman sees it, amid pressure from the Trump administration, Children’s and other hospitals that are ending care have decided trans children “are expendable.”

“And no one is expendable,” she said.

The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new “camp” deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as “concentrating” certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.
