How to record ICE:

1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

The Conservative Media Ecosystem Is Coddling Amy Coney Barrett Nothing says “I am not a partisan hack” like kicking off your book tour in conversation with Bari Weiss.

In my view, Amy Coney Barrett kicking off her book tour by doing a sold-out event with Bari Weiss and publishing an exclusive excerpt in The Free Press should end the "Supreme Court justices are not motivated by ideology" discourse once and for all ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

The largest wildfire burning in the state of Washington is still alive today thanks to brave federal U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents who arrested firefighters caught in the act of attempting to kill it.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Federal agents arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire Federal agents showed up northeast of Lake Cushman to check identification of crew members fighting Washington's largest active wildfire.

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

The Swifties found this post on Threads, so I guess I won’t be on that app for a while. 🪦

A billionaire who has never taught a class referring to herself as an English teacher while wearing a $5 million dollar ring is despicable when educators are consistently underpaid.

Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

Y'know, at some point y'all are gonna have to chisel that poem off the base of that big ass statue, or at least cover the damn thing with a tarp. i mean jesus.

You can read the full poem for free at the Lamp Lit website. A huge thank you to the editors for sharing this with the world!

“Findings all point to the likelihood of widespread famine, the migration of large numbers of people seeking a more stable environment and the carry-on impact of geopolitical disorder.”

hey, cis folks who followed for call scripts!

this is good. communities standing together can help protect trans kids—it’s terrifying for single teachers to stand alone.

there’s a doc in shay’s link. copy the alt text—whatever. it’ll take so little time. resisting compliance is actual resistance.

We're interested in publishing poems & stories set in Asia or by self-identified Asian writers that employ "reverse" chronology. An example is Alexandra Chang's "Li Fan" (read it to the end!). Email submissions to tammyho@asiancha.com with the subject line "Reverse: [your initials]". No deadline.

Booing the Stealers and booing Russell Wilson are both relevant to my interests.

Reminder: If you have a uterus and you don't currently want to be pregnant FOR WHATEVER REASON, get your long acting contraception solution handled *now*. If you have an IUD and it will need replacing in the next 4 years, get it replaced now, early, if you can.

As Los Angeles burned, Latino immigrants rushed in to put out fires Many Latino immigrants in Los Angeles worked to extinguish some of the fires with hoses. They aren't firefighters, they were just helping people in other neighborhoods.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out

Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades
