Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Thank you @penamerica.bsky.social for taking the time to talk to people actually involved in the creation of young adult literature about this issue. It’s been a difficult few years, and we’re grateful to be heard.
Book bans often target YA titles with sexual content. In a new interview, @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social editor Andrew Karre explains that these books offer teens a safe, ethical way to learn about their desires and experiences — and merit their place on library shelves. pen.org/andrew-karre...

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."
Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

I always have to side-eye authors who get on their soapboxes about being anti-colonialist and then act like the only way to tell a story is a narrow set of Western conventions and deem any deviations "something else." Like I get it, we all don't learn a lot about other cultures; so remember that?

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

broadview mayor katrina thompson blames today’s brutality on “out-of-town protesters” who’ve “chosen their fists” over their voices.
does this look like cops “protecting [protesters’] free speech”?

Big news: Indiana Republicans signal they still do not have the votes to re-gerrymander the state, and that the Senate won't convene the Senate after all in December.
Getting 1-2 seats out of Indiana was central to the GOP's redistricting-war math.

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

Re: Epstein’s emails

A lot of weirdly aggro takes on the whole reopening Vine thing. I really enjoyed it back in the day, used to post a lot of time-lapse drawings. I don't not think folks could enjoy it again, depending on various things, though mostly I don't trust Jack Dorsey one bit and am suspicious.

Man, every new Epstein revelation both confirms the things we collectively fear about those in power and dispels the wildness of conspiracy theories; yes, the powerful do vile crimes & exploitation, and they're protected by connections, money & blackmail, but there's no satanic cabals, just CYA.
