US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

• Alaska — 1959
• Hawaii — 1959
Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Vought led the production of Project 2025, wrecking our gov't since Jan. 20. Musk gave us DOGE, Miller's driving the assault on immigrants & many US Citizens. Thiel's a founder of Palantir, sucking up our tax records, biometrics & other private data-the ultimate state surveillance tool.

The single use of AI I’d be kind of okay with would be depicting Trump reading his epic wee hour tantrum posts. Nobody actually gets through those things, dramatizing them would be sobering.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Yeah this is a very bad idea. In my experience the people going by far the fastest in the parks are those on regular racing bicycles who are training for races and going sometimes as much as 30mph
Intro 0060 is a terrible bill. Banning *all* bicycles with pedal-assist (Citi Bikes, Rad Power) in *all* parks is unnecessary and punitive, and like most of these spiteful proposals, does nothing to address pedestrian safety. Also: “and victims” is some crazy journalism.
Over 100 cyclists, pedestrians and victims gathered at Central Park to stop e-bike riding in NYC parks
Over 100 New Yorkers gathered outside Central Park on Wednesday to demand an end to a program that welcomes e-bike riding in city parks.

This quote from James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son is just as true today as it was in 1955...
“I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.”
