i mean this goes back to the South: half the American South wants to LARP as royalty because they were built on the slave power

1. “Countries are no longer real” is the sort of claim that is only comprehensible to people who haven’t touched grass in so long that they have severe vitamin deficiencies.

2. The underlying complaint appears to be that other countries are not as ethnically homogeneous as their fantasy versions.

Sydney, Australia. Estimated numbers of participants are in the hundreds of thousands.

The Orange County Mayor, which encompasses Orlando, signed an agreement to cooperate with ICE as he, along with the entire board of county commissioners, were threatened with removal from office if they didn't.

They should've forced DeSantis to do it and not take the cowardly way out.

Meet the woman spending her free time chasing ICE vehicles "The more time I spend with them, the less time they spend with my community," Vargas told Newsweek.

People have shared Angie Vargas's TikToks with me and they are a mood lifter: www.newsweek.com/meet-woman-s...

"By monopolizing the ice, the Stars effectively control the pathways by which young players advance to the sport's highest stages. Knowing most local hockey families have nowhere else to go, the Stars impose their will by reminding parents that they can block the pathway for any kid."

Then maybe they shouldn’t have voted to make ICE the highest funded law enforcement agency in our history?

That's the difference between being a fan and being a journalist, though

Lol imagine, just outright admitting you're not good at your job because you're too much of a fan to ask a semi decent or thought invoking question

Great shout-out for @jackmurphyrgr.bsky.social's and my story in @thehighside.bsky.social about the CIA's all-Afghan humint unit that tried to recruit one of Daniel Pearl's killers: "a fascinating report ... You'll want to read to the end." The story is here: thehighside.substack.com/p/the-unit-t...

“The memo is alarming, because it speaks to the intent to use the military within the United States at a level not seen since Japanese internment,” Carrie Lee, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund…”We don’t want the military doing law enforcement. It absolutely undermines the rule of law.”

This is cataclysmic in just about every imaginable way.

#nzpol this is relevant here too. So often i hear people say they want to stop poor disabled people from having kids or living in houses. They want us institutionalized and killed. This is not niche. Ive had so many people say this kind of shit to my face

If I were in charge of a small liberal arts school, I would start thinking about aggressively marketing my institution as a "knowledge-first" college. One where students can escape the intrusion of constant AI and focus on deep learning and engagement.

The notion that generative AI can “help people be creative” who can’t otherwise is just. I’m sorry. No. Tiny children can be creative. People who have never taken a class in their lives in any form of art can be creative. You can be creative. Maybe be honest about what you’re really trying to do

Do you use dating apps? Display a message reading "NO ICE MERCENARIES" at the top of your dating profile.

Take corporate yard signs home, paint them, stencil them to read "ICE NOT WELCOME, ICE NOT SAFE," and post them around your town.

Keep the pressure up on all fronts.

This is why the midterms are not that interesting to me. So they get control of the House by a few votes? Ok?

They have leverage now they aren’t using. They had a trifecta in 2021 and didn’t use that either.

Why do people assume they will start magically behaving appropriately?

It's content censorship all the way down

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released…

Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison.

He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.

@crampell.bsky.social’s post got me to thinking and…yes…Trump has apparently canceled the research grant of Judea Pearl, who is one of the world’s leading scholars, is Jewish, Israeli-American, & is vocally opposed to antisemitism, & is the father of Daniel Pearl.
