A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

I’ve said this before but you gotta stop describing mid/boring/bad media as “looks like AI.” Unless it was actually used in the development of the thing, we absolutely do not need to be blurring this line between bad decision making, and functionally no decision making.

Also, for any transfems or would be transfems out there: I talk about princes for lesbian reasons but also think it's important that you know that there are many ways of being masc just like there's many ways of being femme and if you aren't a girly girl but not butch either, prince might be for you
Watched the Takarazuka Revue Castlevania musical and I am firmly of the belief that we need more princely women in media and also there should be more video games that let me play as hot vampire women, princely or otherwise. GOD Alucard is hot in this musical tho. RICHTER TOO GODDAMN IM GAY

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred
I agree that we can’t make Alex Pretti a Benedictine monk because that’s a trap, but we can talk about the good things we did because people will see and hear them and think “I do those things too”

I just wanna talk board games and video games. Especially video games about board games and board games about video games.
Fun fact, none of us actually want to do this. Look at my profile pic and handle. I actually want to talk about model trains, but since my country has become a fascist rogue state killing people on the street and threatening to invade our neighbors, I kinda have bigger problems right now.

These people are bringing their children to our country seeking safety and rather than welcome them we lock them up. A horrific, grievous sin:
People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard.
This policy is a horror:

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

A pilot just flew through one of the strongest aurora storms in years — and saw the sky explode in color. From the cockpit of a Boeing 787, pilot Matt Melnyk had a view like no one else. Flying at 37,000 feet over Manitoba, he watched as the auroras filled the entire sky.
