After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

In my neck of the woods and this is a bad look for both PDs involved😠

impartial scientific research is the enemy of despotism and so naturally vought wants to destroy it

The reason the war doesn’t end and prices don’t come down and people are losing health insurance and the measles is spreading is that all the White House does is corruption 24/7.

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

I suppose if the question is "Should x group be allowed to have rights?" And the left simply yes and the right debates whether x group should be allowed rights, or second class rights, or sent to work camps, or outright killed, then yes the right has more data points and "diversity of thought"

🏳️‍⚧️ A dangerous, anti-trans bill is moving fast in Congress. H.R. 2616 would erase trans students from classrooms nationwide. Floor votes are happening this week - your voice matters! 🤳 Contact your Representative and ask them to oppose this bill. @5calls.org makes it easy ⤵️

GIVEAWAY! Dead Weight is coming out next week and to celebrate I'm giving away two copies that have been personally bitten by Uggi and will be personally signed by me and shipped to the winners wherever they live! To enter just like and share this post and I'll select the winners on May 26th!

This is so enraging I’m having trouble seeing. Not only do our tax dollars go to reward Trump’s traitorous mob, but he gets off scott free for what is likely decades of theft from the American people. And his sycophants think this outrageous corruption is perfectly fine. apnews.com/article/irs-...

Celebrating Arbor Day in Chicago (a few days late) with a side order of biology❤️

Looking for something joyful, fulfilling, and very human that lets you assure the Powers That Be that you're making students "AI ready"? Tell them you're doing what they do at Stanford! The #DataSittersClub is delighted to share little tl;dr #3 on bringing textile dataviz to the classroom. #DHmakes

If we treated poor people as full humans worthy of dignity, we wouldn’t spend so much time policing them in the first place…

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

Starved Rock pics from a 20-mile 2-day set of muddy hikes this week. Walking along the edge of Hennepin Canyon took a lot for this person with a fear of heights ngl #midwest

When the morning comic strip gets it better than half the people you know.

I cannot even remember the last time my 30-minute trastuzumab infusion took less than three hours. Today thanks to poor @hey.epic.com implementation. #cancersky #patient hope the bag shows up soon🤞

Keeping eyes on a Henry’s hotdog #caturday #route66

hegseth is like an LLM in that he constantly demonstrates the danger of producing words without understanding what they mean, only that they sound like what is expected

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

I grew up in the San Jacinto Valley (CA) and even tho I left it 40+ years ago, the desert colors, people and landscape still make my heart feel most spacious. Spent the last 4 days driving parts of my parents’ belongings here to IL with extra time in AZ and NM. Pics for those who’ve never been

This seems like a good time to remind my fellow Illinoisans to NOT vote for Raja.

For The New York Times to choose to publish Jesse Singal today, of all times, is a choice to attack trans people, to make them even more vulnerable while they are already under attack. It is an appalling abdication of the Times’s journalistic duties.

“I will offer no defense of my meetings with Jeffrey Epstein,” Mr. Kerrey said. “If I knew then what I know now, I would not have said yes to a meeting.” The meetings in question, were after Epsteins first arrest. #SheShed #EpsteinFiles www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Exactly what I needed. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social from 2005

Simply horrific. What are we becoming?

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

“Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.”

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

Chicago teen who battled cancer while fighting for father's release from ICE detention dies Reporting by Elleiana Green: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Congresswoman Lateefah Simon on the poorly written Save Act. Unfortunately, the House doesn’t get it. Call your Senators. 📞 (202) 224-3121

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Here's a problem with TrumpRx I'm looking at now. Some of these drugs have generic equivalents which means getting the generic w/ insurance or via cash pay w/ something like cost plus drugs should be cheaper even with a brand discount. So far I've found 6 drugs but am still going through the list.

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered. 18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

The dude who rented out the city of Venice for his wedding just fired a third of WAPO staff to save money. If you use or consume Amazon products you are helping an inglorious asshole become richer.

Awful stuff from @uofilsystem.bsky.social College Republicans. These are students who at a minimum should be censored. I hope the school finds the courage to act

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

A statement from Sahan Journal, Minnesota Star Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio, Minnesota Reformer, Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association:

Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough.

‘They are no longer strategizing for voluntary adoption by those who come to recognize the technology’s utility by electively applying it to the problems they face. They are planning how to cross the chasm by forced adoption.’ By @mattseybold.bsky.social

TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter? SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note

The fact that the regime is executing citizens in the street and then asking for lists of citizens who voted against them might raise a few alarm bells.

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?” Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt
