A headline for the ages www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The best thing we could all learn from the last week on The Internet and in the real world would be to leave "debate me!" culture in the dust

in an era of terrible journalism, this may be the most ridiculous headline yet

Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. 💚

Further confirmation from ICE HSI officers that they have been told to stop investigating pedophiles, human traffickers, and drug smugglers. Officers have been told NOT to take new criminal cases so they can instead go round up more random migrants. Morale is plummeting, especially at HSI.

This week on Heart Reacts, @sarahljaffe.bsky.social and I answer questions on AI, working in tech, and care work. find at patreon.com/heartreacts or wherever you get your podcasts!

In case any New Yorkers follow me and aren't yet decided about the mayor's race, let me share a series of articles from my decade-plus time covering Andrew Cuomo. To begin: when he made a fake political party dedicated to "Women's Equality" rewirenewsgroup.com/2014/07/30/n...

The concept of sexual harassment has endorsed Andrew Cuomo for Mayor.

This isn't mentioned in the piece but there's also a worker safety angle. Many postal service trucks don't have air conditioning these do

Does...he know what Les Miserables is about?

If interested, I have a zine about the use(s) of tear gas by police against protesters in the U.S. issuu.com/projectnia/d...

I spent some time at the site where protestors incinerated five Waymos—all lined up neatly in a row in downtown LA—and spoke to journalists, eyewitnesses and activists who were there. This is how protestors weaponized Waymos and Lime scooters, and turned them into icons of the anti-ICE uprising

Watching LA and seeing yet more debates about proper protest behavior and militarized policing/the straight up military reminds me that we put the Militarization of Everything chapter from my first book up online for free here: necessarytrouble.sarahljaffe.com/wp-content/u...

SEIU California President David Huerta has apparently been charged with a federal crime--conspiracy to impede an officer. This is a felony that carries a sentence of six years in federal prison.

The are line dancing in the middle of the protest while shouting Fuck ICE
