Journalist Mario Guevara Speaks - Letter from ICE DETENTION FACILITY — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER The only journalist detained by ICE on US soil, sends a letter to The Bitter Southerner.

Must-read by journalist Mario Guevara for @bittersouth.bsky.social: "On the afternoon of Saturday, June 14, 2025, my life changed completely. Just as I was doing a regular news coverage, I was arrested by the police in the state of Georgia."

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

Warren firing back and saying the ability of working people to afford to live in New York is what makes it a vibrant, workable city is EXACTLY the kind of defense of this city I want to see Democrats make.

oh to be a bear eating honey in a river in england

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

How do you use social media to job search—do you find opportunities that way, or vet organizations? Have you run into scams, or ghost jobs? How do you know what viral job-search advice to take? I'm looking to chat with early-career workers for a Teen Vogue column: email in bio; Signal rstauff.20

it would be funny if trump accidentally became the most environmentally friendly president of all time if tariffs stop people from buying unnecessary temu shit

The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

i feel like you run into static electricity less as an adult

when the algorithm lines up perfectly. also, thanks to you and mom for vaccinating me when I was a kid so i didn't die of a preventable disease

my main takeaway from the sotu is that republicans are so mad it's not socially acceptable to hate gay people any more so they've decided to focus all of that energy into being anti-trans instead

just tryna see something

naturally, all of these posts contradict each other, which is actually a good reminder to ignore all of them

one negative to bluesky so far has been the uptick in the amount of posts talking about "democratic strategists" i've seen.

"democrats should do THIS"

"why are democratic strategists NOT doing XYZ"

"here's what democratic strategists are telling top democrats"

i'm sure someone has posted this already but it would be kinda funny if they accidentally deleted everyone's student loans

Musk’s total idiocy is structural: it goes back to the very origin of the Greek term idiotes, a person who cannot understand the shared political life of the city. These people cannot understand that their wealth and power are not their sovereign creations but the shared product of the wider state and society that supports and sustains them. Cryptocurrency is the perfect embodiment of this structural misrecognition: its advocates say it represents wealth outside of the state and society, but its notional value is wholly determined by its price in fiat money, created and sustained by the state. (It also functions a lot like “race” and “IQ:” as a repository of social value that provides a haven from degradation, but I’ll address that another time.) Here’s the thing: They can only see corruption around them because they are wholly corrupt.

yep

This is unironically good advice, if you've been putting off a Covid or flu shot for some reason, or really any immunization, now's a great time to see your doctor or stroll over to CVS

i know not being able to opt-out is kind of the point. if you give people the option, and they take it, you lose all the data you were about to scrub. but god it is ANNOYING

i do not want to use google gemini and i hate how grammarly is just an AI extension at this point. i am not anti-AI tools (and actually do use some day-to-day!) but i hate not being able to opt OUT of them. i do not need you to summarize an email, i can read, stop asking!

This is 100% why the "weird" attack line was so powerful: all these right-wing weirdos want is to be considered the default.

i think i'll become a linkedin influencer in 2025

getting over a cold so taking all my work calls off camera today but i took a shower this morning to try and steam out my sinuses and i'm having a really good hair day :(

can one of you tech or culture writers do a deep dive on why you can't command + shift + v to add a link on slack? "trying to add a link? try..." no why don't YOU try

I’m not really interested in saving up money to potentially buy property one day but I am interested in saving up money to potentially charter a yacht one day
