Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

Important thread - thank you @billiejsweeney.bsky.social as always for holding the NYT to account
Dear @nytimespr.bsky.social. Your press release re comments I gave to @transnews.network includes many errors but one assertion is true: “TNN featured an interview with a former editor on the International desk at The Times who was not involved in these coverage decisions.”

That is the problem

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something."

They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable.

These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Someone died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall. I was there in May when they arrested Mayor Ras Baraka. We stood with hundreds of people demanding they shut it down. Now someone is dead.

Enough is enough. We need to abolish ICE, close Delaney Hall, and hold everyone accountable before more people die.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

Medical racism is not a headline, it's a reality.

A Black mother in active labor at Dallas Regional Medical Center was ignored by a nurse for over 30 minutes, and that could've cost her life.

What will happen when healthcare is out reach?

This is why my daughter, right out of grad school, is currently living in Ireland. She doesn’t want to be in the US, and as much as we miss her, I support her decision completely.
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

Illegible, vague, poorly punctuated emails are a power move across industries - I’ve worked in multiple places where staff had to gather around to crowdsource the intent of an email from the head of the organization like we’re trying to divine meaning from a Greek oracle.
Fast & sloppy emails are the academic equivalent of the tech bro black hoodie

A signal that you’re too important & in-demand to write long, carefully thought out and edited emails
best example I've seen so far: Elisa New (Larry Summers's wife) emails Epstein seemingly asking for help in getting an invitation to Serena Williams; he immediately tells her it needs edits, offers a useless suggestion, and in doing so reveals he hasn't actually read it

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.
