On Promising Young Women (and the Nameless Men Who Get in Their Way) “The woman is a footnote in the man’s history.” –Rebecca Hazelton * There’s this photo of Lana Clarkson that I think about often. She’s outside, backed by a blue sky, the green and brown spotted hi…

Did You Catch That?!?
Read Again If You Didn’t…

Purdue student detained by ICE and taken to troubled Louisiana holding facility Yeonsoo Go, 20, was detained after her immigration hearing in Manhattan and taken away by ICE agents.

Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center.

Erik Prince is "reportedly pursuing ventures in #Ecuador, #Haiti, #Peru, and #ElSalvador, offering services from anti-gang consulting and drone strikes to deportation programs", writes Henry Shuldiner in this very interesting report for @insightcrime.org on private military contractors in #LAC.

Freud's decision to treat his young female patients as fantasizing rather than reporting sexual abuse was -- well he started to uncover the epidemic, then decided to put another layer of cover-up on it.

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

It's crazy how much AI is like the your worst coworker.

Doesn't do their job right, steals your shit, isn't funny, and in the end you still have to redo all their work and for some god knows what reason your boss loves them and never fires them.

YEONSOO GO: 20-YEAR-OLD KOREAN AMERICAN PASTOR'S DAUGHTER AND PURDUE UNIVERSITY STUDENT WITH LEGAL VISA- ABDUCTED AND DETAINED BY ICE

TAE HEUNG "WILL" KIM: KOREAN AMERICAN PH.D. STUDENT & MEDICAL RESEARCHER AT TEXAS A&M, LAWFUL PERMANENT U.S. RESIDENT - ABDUCTED AND DETAINED BY ICE

A growing number of the new victims of Trump’s cruel, illegal ICE terror are young Asian Americans with LEGAL STATUS who have grown up their entire lives in this country and are being swept up for minor infractions or technicalities.

The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.

A hardcover copy of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone. The black cover features a vertical strip with the title and a photo of Atlanta’s skyline.

After many years of reporting and writing, the day is finally here: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out today.

I poured everything into this book, and I hope it ignites outrage at the fact that so many people in the richest nation on earth have been deprived of one of the most basic human necessities.

Trump And Miller Compel Colleges Not To Enroll International Students Trump officials are using rules, policies and agreements to compel and discourage U.S. universities from enrolling international students.

Wow. Had not realized that Columbia’s settlement with Trump admin included a commitment to decrease international student enrollment. In what way does this help “combat antisemitism,” which is supposedly the administration’s objective?

I really do think fundamentally less of people who use AI to produce text, and what's more, I'm right.

Look at what happens to male teacher salaries (blue line) v.s. female teacher salaries (red line) after collective bargaining laws expire.

Imagine being in your home when these people come in - without a warrant - waving guns around your children, and take your loved one(s). This home footage is real, and while it might not be you now, it will be eventually; unless, you become the enemy.

They will have us all by the short and curlies if we don't buck up and fuck shit up.

The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact
