How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women "This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

There’s Something Very Dark Happening to Millennials and Gen Z Adults America is not a good place to be an early adult.

B-but, aside from toxic gun culture, car dependence, harmful food additives, impossible health care system, long covid, brutal work/life balance expectations, lack of social safety nets, opioid epidemic and nonexistent mental health services, how could this have happened??

First thing they did is take over the Kennedy Center.

They canceled Colbert.

Superman is a weirdly powerful icon right now, bothering all the right people.

Don’t let anyone tell you the arts aren’t crucial.

When you are feeling weary or despairing, remember that there are people in every corner of the world taking life affirming action in the direction of more justice. The fact that you can't see it all is a comfort because it means there is an excess of positive actions happening all at once. #onwards

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

From a friend on FB, this reminder:

“Any theory you got, practice it. And when you practice it, you make some mistakes. When you make a mistake, you correct that theory, and then it will be corrected theory...A lot of us read and read and read, but we don't get any practice”

What's weird about the "Kamala Harris wouldn't have done this" people is that Kamala Harris is still politically relevant, she's still a figure in the Democrat Party machine, she could come out and say she condemns all the stuff people say she would. Nought a peep from her, either Clinton, or Obama.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

“Newsweek’s piece relates the shocking findings of a new RECOVER study: that up to 5.8 million American children now have Long COVID, making it the most common chronic illness affecting children.” Yet we allow them to continue being reinfected.

At some point, the GOP has to stop accusing everyone else of what they themselves are doing and desperately trying to deny. Denial and false blame holds off reality only so long.

We plan our days, plan our careers, our futures, our immigration plans, all with this operating self-deception that the world is not crumbling.

We talk about it, yell about it, see how huge the devastation is, but then change channels and operate as though it’ll never catch up to us, and it’s wild

So called “autistic rigidity” contributes to some of my greatest strengths: a commitment to integrity, honesty & fairness, internal consistency in my thinking, & focused dedication to my work. It comes with tradeoffs, like everything else in the world. #Autistic

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/
