Investigating pizza dough stretching techniques.

Excellent interview with @profsaunders.bsky.social

UPDATE: As I wrote was likely, the application I discussed here, from a student seeking a stay of removal to Indonesia, was denied by Justice Kagan, acting as circuit justice, with no reasons give.

They’re trying to deport the men who witnessed the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Timeline cleanse: You're watching Mei & Kira, two sea otters (Enhydra lutris) at the Toba Aquarium in Japan, help clean the pool area after playtime. The reward is an ice treat. Enrichment activities like this promote mental wellness. Let's talk about the SUCCESS of sea otter conservation.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Where does this fit in Ranganathan's 5 laws?

Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.

Amidst the plethora of book club scams, I got my first what appeared to be invitation to translate my book into a foreign language (Russian). Too tired to figure out if it's real. As soon as I saw the word "subvention grant", I stopped reading and deleted.

The media’s language in coverage of sexual violence is so wild compared to any other subject matter. Instead of “it rained” they’re like “Several women allege that they received nonconsentual water upon their persons. We interviewed men they know, who confirmed that the women seemed damp.”

Looking forward to this today. There’s so much to discuss.

I’ve had 49 jobs and I was sexually harassed in all of them. The reason the movement was called MeToo is because this shit is widespread.

SO far today, I've seen texts, photos, and videos of ICE activity in Back of the Yards, Pilsen, Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Maywood, Melrose Park. It's 9:20a.

My @shearites.bsky.social panel fell apart :( If there are any Early Americanists presenting next Friday who want to adopt a paper on governmental slaveholding and public safety in Philly and Albany, let me know!

1) Interesting "Dems Not in Disarray" front-page framing. 2) Point Dems need to keep making: -Virtually every Dem leader has now come out publicly against Platner. -Virtually every GOP party leader still all-in for Ken Paxton. (And, of course, for Trump) This is not a "both sides" situation.

Trump administration says it has abandoned plans for new Harriet Tubman $20 bill spectrumlocalnews.com/me/maine/pol...

DOGE served its purpose: gut government with zeroaccountability, allowing the political blame to leave with Elon Musk. It also enabled massive state capture. The tech community and the Trump administration got what they want, and no longer pretend otherwise. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...

I want it

Wake up, kids, it’s State Fair New Foods Day www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

Morning 😂.

It's awful. We struggle to know which particular locations might be overcapacity because ICE has not published any kind of facility population statistics since early April. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

Combined with the cuts from the Big Ugly Bill, this is going to be a nightmare for the care sector. The Senate should join the House in voting to extend TPS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We are seeing this in Massaachusetts. There's been an uptick in the courts above the baseline, and also more street abductions. Yet it's getting very little media attention so far and there's honestly little public awareness because it's concentrated at courthouses and immigrant communities.

I'm not sure who is leading in Texas, but decimal points in the poll estimates is automatically a red flag for poll quality. As is the absence of a link to the actual results

Request for rehearing comes after Fox News report of Texas hospital advertising maternity services in Mexico

NEW Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed amid a shift in ICE “targeted enforcement” tactics that has officers doing more vehicle stops—and shooting. ICE’s ERO division lacks a vehicle pursuit policy & veteran officials told me officers need more training www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

I feel like I need to remind people that part of the original me too movement was to emphasize the simple fact that most women, at some point in their lives, have been the victim of sexual harassment, assault, rape or other types of gender-based violence. Hence, the “me too” part.

The US no longer has a refugee program. There are many nouns to accurately describe a whites-only visa, but ‘refugee program’ is not one of them. Congress created and sustained our refugee program with bipartisan support over generations. Now Congress allows one person to simply terminate it.

"AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE!" Says the charlatan who launched "The Trump Gold Card" in December of last year. For only $1,000,000, the The Trump Gold Card entitles the holder to US citizenship and residency.

*Suspending campaign operations is not the same as withdrawing from the race, which is required by Monday under Maine law for the party to name a replacement.

PLATNER SAYS HE’S DROPPING OUT of the Maine Senate race: “We believe that for the movement to continue, it can’t be me. And for that reason, we are suspending campaign operations,” he says in a video message tonight.

I really need people to understand that being shitty to women is not separate from a person's politics. Contempt for those seen as weaker, resentment towards people who get something you think you're entitled to, using power to dominate or intimidate—these are the foundations of someone's"politics."

Almost the whole first royalty check has been spent on a dishwasher since my old one died. For much of my adult life, I never had a dish washer, so it's all good. Adulting.

It’s also, to state the obvious, just fully not contemplated in immigration law.

Since last year, ICE and the Office of Refugee Resettlement have made it much harder to be designated as a sponsor for a child, even if you’re related. They’ve added all kinds of new bureaucratic and paperwork requirements – proof of income, identification, backup caregiving, and more.

I wish I could tell you this was an isolated incident, but it is not. The Trump administration has gutted policies that were designed to give immigrant kids access to legal counsel, relief from deportation, and the ability to be reunited with their families while they apply to stay in the U.S.
