The lawsuit says that people detained at the ICE facility are being held in abhorrent, “inhumane” conditions. Despite a request for surveillance video, a DHS report says footage has been “irretrievably destroyed.” @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports.

like can you imagine if they added "... or gender or perceptions thereof" to title IX?

"no person... shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any... program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance"
If you don't want the Executive Branch to take certain actions via an agency authorized by Congress, THEN IT IS CONGRESS' GODDAMN JOB TO PASS A FUCKING LAW ABOUT IT.

that thing on apps like this where an initially incoherent zero-context post goes through your timeline in reverse chronological order until the original thought pops up and you no longer care anymore because the "where was this going" voice in your head went hoarse

funny (?) that they do TV-14 on a cartoon, but the previous propaganda news segment about Tylenol is all ages

"To be clear: Anti-abortion politicians want to spend government funds to investigate the claim that abortions are floating around in your drinking water"
It may have felt easy to dismiss outlandish claims about abortion as radical right-wing conspiracy theories, but our government is now run by fanatics.
GOP Lawmakers Are Using a Wild Conspiracy Theory to Attack Medication Abortion
House Republicans are now talking about combing through sewers in search of microscopic evidence of our abortions.

I was talking about this with someone, the terrorism of detaining children. they asked the ages and tried to qualify the word children with "... well if they're 14 and older..."

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

watching ads on live TV kind of sucks, but also you wouldn't get to watch terrible ads if you don't

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I always wondered about what rhcp meant by "the city she loves me" (L. A.)

never been under a bridge as it were, but my first two cities felt entirely indifferent

Chicago doesn't feel like that though, glad to say

Nancy Drew is a straight up menace.

Horseshoe Bay needs to lock her up.
