The best time to get whistles into your community was yesterday the next best time is right now. We will make and send you whistles, for free, in quantities of 100 to thousands, just ask here: linktr.ee/3dwhistles
While MLPS was a victory, moral and tangibly, for ICE resisters, don't call it 'a retreat.' The dystopia is just getting started

Thousands of new agents. 150 new offices in every state. And the nationwide gulag archipelago. The fight has just begun

A much-hyped ICE pullback from Minneapolis is a blip in a looming nationwide surge of arrests, concentration camps.

As a strict constitutionalist, I am so horrified by the possibility of a president serving three terms that I may have to write in Edmund Burke in 2028 if Trump runs again.

This story and interview are hard to read, but this woman is probably among the toughest humans who has ever lived. Few can say they would have the courage and bravery to talk so openly about what she endured. GIFT LINK. (and content warning, of course)

it’s above 40 degrees in february and so I am unfortunately spring-pilled. I’ve got the windows open and I’m thinking about clearing off the grill. I am confident this heatwave will continue forever and I will not have my heart broken by another 48 inches of snow in march

The concept of “lying under oath” is up for grabs right now. All the Trump SCOTUS judges did it about Roe. Kennedy did it to get his post. If one of these fuckers isn’t prosecuted it will be crystal clear that there are zero repercussions for doing so, and everyone will lie forever.

This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!
Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence
New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

I checked the publications dates books that informed my thinking about this kind of tech before it became AI discourse. Books like Artificial Unintelligence, Algorithms of Oppression, Race After Technology, Weapons of Math Destruction: 2016-2019. Unsurprisingly, this observation truly tracks.
I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious.

We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.

There’s a section of the populist left that wants to win internal Democratic Party fights by calling their factional opponents the “Epstein class,” and it just seems really obvious that the populist right is going to hear that as “the Jews” with some very bad results.
Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...
