this made me cackle all the way through

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

We aren’t angry enough.

Comparing two NYT headlines regarding the deaths of missile strikes by Iran and Israel. The first one says, "Iran says dozens are killed in strike on school" where "Iran says" is highlighted with the comment "casts doubt" and "strike" is commented with "no responsibility." The second one says "9 killed in Israeli city near Jerusalem after Iranian missile strike" where "9 killed is highlighted with the comment "stated as fact" and "Iranian" is commented with "actor named."

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Not for the dead school kids though, but late for them

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

I first wrote about ICE's use of ruses and misrepresentations — which are explicitly recommended in their training manuals — almost eight years ago. This sounds like a particularly bold implementation but this has been part of their toolkit for a long time

Let me re-introduce myself. And why our campaign is doing things differently.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

Forward Democracy Empowering people to vote towards a better future

But if a race is on a knife edge, as it is in Gorton & Denton, it makes a Green tactical vote recommendation significantly more likely to succeed than a Labour one.

Of course, no one would have to vote tactically if we had a more representative voting system.
