ICE had a large white drone they were trying to put in the air but neighborhood pressure grew and they started to pack up and leave. One neighbor was shouting that ICE is a bunch of losers and an agent said to her “you’re going to lose. We will win.”

This is definitely not going to work.

people who think this will not have an effect on employer-provided health care rates and premiums are walking into a buzzsaw

You have to really *try* to convince a 20-year-old that it’s not worth asking what justice or freedom or social good is. They don’t come by that incuriosity naturally.

IDK, man. School started 2 weeks ago for us, and once again students remind me that they’re so curious and interested in the world and anxious to ask big questions. We hear that these questions are no longer useful or relevant, but wherever that’s coming from, it’s not what students believe.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Thornaby transgender woman jailed for deception sex assault Ciara Watkin's victim says he would not have agreed to sex had he known she was biologically male.

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame.

www.bbc.com/news/article...

Screenshot of a BBC News article. The text describes court proceedings involving a person named Watkin, who will serve a prison sentence in a men’s facility with measures to minimize risk and maximize support. It states that Watkin must register as a sex offender for 10 years and is under a lifelong restraining order from contacting the victim. A police detective is quoted saying Watkin concealed her sex, and the victim would not have consented had they known. The article ends with the detective expressing hope that the case’s conclusion allows the victim to move forward.

This is horrifying. Now she'll be placed with men in prison where she is at extreme risk of being raped and sexually assaulted. And then she has to register as a sex offender.

This is all because a man was ashamed he was attracted to a trans woman.

‘Catastrophic decline’ in Black representation in children’s books A report by charity Inclusive Books for Children found that of the 2,721 books surveyed, only 51 featured a Black main character, down by 21.5% since 2023

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly. But, big picture, this trend is unacceptable. I remember so many promises www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

Troopers with batons aggressively shoving crowd back.

Just saw two demonstrators arrested.

Tactically, a fixed location is ultimately indefensible. Such power it has is symbolic, strategic.
Flying columns are tactically stronger, partly because they’re evanescent by nature.

Ratcheting. When LEO wants to put an end to an event, they apply restrictions methodically over time, to see what they can get away with.
First came the barricades. Then came the goon squads to force everyone into the barricades.

Also: police (agency unclear) reportedly detained two people on the Beach/Lexington side of the detention center not long ago. We don't have any more info on that right now.

Brave protestors and cops making sure the brown shirts can terrorize the community and commit crimes against humanity. Unsurprising, yet so painful.

The vast, terrifying scale of Trump’s detention state With $75 billion and thousands of masked agents, ICE is just getting started.

“while we cannot accept, it is not too late for them to call for the release of detained Saudi activists,” said Joey Shea, Saudi Arabia researcher at Human Rights Watch.... (good to put the reasons why into perspective like this.)

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous.

Fascism in action. One day, these people will be on trial for crimes against humanity. I am antifascist.

When SCOTUS gets too much, I rewatch this for moral support: www.youtube.com/shorts/eFKEI...

Even if successfully challenged, it will take years to litigate and we end up with the benefit of ending these legal ends runs around constitutional rights by simply applying a private right of action.

It's also, most importantly, the kind of legislation that Texas used to effectively ban abortion that SCOTUS refused to block. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

This will stop the practice regardless and make challenging the legislation near impossible as no state actor will be doing the enforcement. This will essentially be a classic tort for the harm induced through conversion therapy rather than any infringement on free speech.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.
