“60 Minutes” abruptly dropped a segment about Trump deportees sent to a megaprison in El Salvador Sunday — two hours before it was set to air

This is such sloppy writing. "I turned on the heel of my stilettos from where I was standing..." What value does "from where I was standing" contribute? What would it mean to turn on your heel from where you aren't standing? And if you turn on your heel, you're still standing in the same place.

Since people asked, my top places for trans people right now are France, Australia (parts), Canada (parts), Spain (though politics there are tenuous), Iceland, Uruguay.

The New York State Office for New Americans supports immigrants in need of assistance to help them understand their rights and connect them with relevant resources: dos.ny.gov/know-your-rights New York State Attorney General Letitia James has an online form to report violations of immigrant rights.

We need some critical writing about Love Is Blind as a horror text.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

House Democrats could force a vote on impeaching RFK any time they want. Of course it would fail. But do you want to make an issue of it or not?

NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

decent odds that chris rufo has a tattoo of his SAT score

This quiz going around is a great example of how the NYT launders right wing talking points through the zero-sum lens. I care that millions of *other* people will get tossed into poverty—or concentration camps. The fact that *I* might get a SALT break is not an equivalent effect on the country!

One of the most helpful things when reading a news story is to notice which perspectives are treated as objective and which ones are not.

Letttts gooooo!!!

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

You can watch the manufacturing of consent happen in real time ANY social justice movement kicks off. Go back & watch cable news from the past 5 days and you'll find the bulk of the interviews/roundtables center on what folks in the streets are allegedly doing wrong & little about why people are out

Using the horse race coverage lens (is it a lens? It’s not a lens) to discuss the Marines rolling down the streets of LA is wild to me. (For some reason, been watching msm coverage of this.) (Will the boys in red or blue win the big game? The administration says team red allll the way, baby.)
