JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

They revoked Wole Soyinka’s US visa? I keep typing reactions and deleting them. Another new low.

Portland woman released from ICE custody, reunited with family after ‘illegal’ detainment, lawmakers say

I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane.

June Squibb opts for THE BIG FREAKING GODZILLA BOX SET, digs the movie Shaft, and has seen every Kurosawa film?

Hey y'all. Eggs the cat is in the emergency room for a second night, probably needs surgery tomorrow.
They think they can fix it but It's already approaching 5 digits, and I'm just about tapped out.

I'm sorry to ask but if you're able I would be grateful for the help.

Folks, Maya’s cat Eggs is in the hospital and facing surgery. It’s such a traumatic time. Let’s help ease some of the stress and help her with funding.

Hi yes hello this is 1 facet of exactly why we told you not to use "generative AI" in the regulatory production pipeline: Eventually the bullshit it spits out— even its citations— will fail to agree w/ consensus reality, but they'll sure *look* like they do, & by then you'll have started trusting it

I don't know how many more ways to say "you need to start fucking listening to the people who warned you that exactly this would happen."

LLM/GPT-type "AI" recreate patterns in pursuit of matching statistical correlations on which they're trained. They make shit up.

Do Not. Put this. In healthcare

Lots more detail in here about this outrageous arrest. The guy has been in jail for weeks now for posting a quote by President Trump.

Not one politician in Oregon mentions Geo Group. Geo Group staff abused 3 US citizens in Portland, Oregon ICE. Abused in an ICE holding cell on June 4, 2025.

Can you imagine getting turned over to Geo Group and tortured as a US citizen?

It has now stopped in Cambodia — 40 hours — and Laos — 44 hours.

If it keeps following the route it did for ICE last month, there will be one more stop in Vietnam.

Think about everything you’ve done since about 4am on Friday. That’s how long these people have been shackled on a plane.

I feel like I can't catch a break.

I will be $700 short for rent on the 1st & I have no idea how to get it met.
I won't have more hours at work until mid-november and was expecting a payment for rental assistance that isn't coming.

I really appreciate any help getting this met

Portland ICE arrests

Struck by the thought that honestly weird nursing still gets sold as a profession for women. Nurses give: specialized knowledge, stronk, control emotions. Nurses receive: union jobs, gross-out stories, tell ppl what to do authoritatively.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
