12-year-old Ender wrote that when she felt sick at Dilley, the doctor would only say to drink more water. “The worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here,” she wrote in her letter. By @micarosenberg.bsky.social

For those looking for new ways to use federal buying data for good, we've updated our 2026 DHS Contract Visualizer with the most recent data. Visit the tracker here: tinyurl.com/DHSContracts... Zoom in to see contracts bought by DHS law enforcement agencies in your area, and more.

A fucking ICON.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

When I say I stand on business this what I mean.

Babe once your past 30 ? Stop giving yourself horrible options. Ya’ll don’t get money, orgasms , or sentimentality from these dudes ?!? What are they for then ?

If Democrats woke up Monday and their messaging was just “ We will make an America to be proud of for all Americans “ They could run just about platform they wanted There are people who would have never done anything political who are this close to fighting their moms in the street

Wonder Man had a very satisfying ending to me.

Am I Irish? This looks amazing.

Who is this man's audience?

Stop what you’re doing take a deep breath & let your shoulders relax

“You need only know this: Whatever is happening with your data, it is important enough to the most egregiously lawless administration in American history that it be collected and consolidated.” Always read @tressiemcphd.bsky.social (gift link)

Imagine looking at this guy and thinking, "Yep, that's a representative of a superior culture right there, the thousand-year Reich is just around the corner now that he's in a position of authority," just pudding-brained gelatinous motherfuckers every one of them

I was interviewed exactly once in the NYT. I’m a highly qualified, well regarded expert in my field. The other person‘s entire body of knowledge was provably untrue stuff he’d heard on a semifictional TV show about my field. The article treated us as two experts with differing opinions.

It’s not every journalist there but I personally know that the New York Times has in recent years published lies without any fact checking And I know this with complete confidence because the lies were about me and I know that no fact checkers contacted me This is a huge problem

The SAVE act also forces states to submit their voter registration lists to the DHS! I know we’ve been focused on voter ID but that’s only the tip of the iceberg !

Ban on ICE cooperation agreements heads to Gov. Moore’s desk

It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future. mandatoryrollercoaster.com/post/8081046...

If I get measles effing around with you narcissistic professional victims who refuse to vaccinate? Let’s just say “radicalized” will barely cover it.

His father was a wealthy developer known as the "Mayor of River North” and he’s raking in big money donors while his public-facing message is that he’s an outsider who isn’t a “career politician” ...

gonna tell the kids this was Heated Rivalry

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

Monks bring ‘Walk for Peace’ to Maryland’s state capital

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Shit that makes you swoon. 😍

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

It's an indictment of the entertainment industry as well, because I'm fairly sure Sony (the producers of Dawson's Creek), WB (which aired it), Disney (which owned and aired Don't Trust the B*) & Paramount (which produced Varsity Blues) made money off of him & should have insured him for life.

Of course, the politicians and pundits who push homeschooling as a path to security (or salvation) don't care about mixing up correlation and causation. They only care about dismantling public infrastructure and forcing women to be our safety net instead. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...

And obviously, there's a correlation-is-not-causation problem here. Because even for two-parent families, it's not easy to get by on one income. And so, if families are homeschooling without financial hardship, it's because they have a great deal of privilege to draw on. bsky.app/profile/nyma...

So, the message here is: Moms, if you want your kids to have a good life, you have to quit your job and become your kids' teacher full-time.

Hey so remember when I said white women are endangering their own freedom when they cozy up to white supremacy? And that the hard right fantasies do not include sharing power with women? Yeah so the not so quiet part is here

On Lincoln's birthday, it's useful to remember he believed the primary goal of the American experiment was to guarantee "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and the best way to achieve that goal was through free and fair elections. It's basically the thesis of the Gettysburg Address. 1/2

She is an empty suit, of course. And an absolute nasty piece of cornbread. She is also, to my somewhat trained ear, absolutely, positively terrified here. She is either intimidated by the process or deeply anxious about her relationship with her boss. Or both. But she is terrified.

As I’ve been saying, by the end of the year, you can expect that ChatGPT will be selling a product that lets people generate child sexual abuse material on demand. They will then say “oops” about it violating their TOS, and repeat until everyone caves. Because their leadership is largely ex-Meta.

“…this is something to keep in mind if you’re using a Google camera. Even if you aren’t paying for storage, every event recorded by the camera is going to Google’s servers, and it’s probably recoverable long past the deletion timeline stipulated in the company’s policy.”

Need to stress that, like the Pretti killing, this terrorism is happening in extremely mixed use residential neighborhoods. Cafes and restaurants just down the street. The St. Paul Curling Club that's put out so many Olympians competing *this week* is like two blocks away.

James Van Der Beek spent the last year of his life fundraising for cancer treatment. He auctioned off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia. Costars launched Cameos to raise money for his care. A serious diagnosis in the US can financially destroy you. Universal healthcare saves lives.

RED FLAG MEANS STOP. Not reason with it. Not wait for it to turn green. I’ll never understand how ppl stay with these flags and be shocked that the flag gets bigger or more flags pop up.

My god.

The ‘abolish ICE’ door is cracked open and every one of us needs to push and keep pushing. “Liam’s father, Adrian Conejo Arias, said the family was in hiding. He cited a bomb threat at his son’s former elementary school and ICE agents patrolling the Columbia Heights home they no longer live in.”

I watched the whole performance, how did I miss this part??

lol

Hang it in the Louvre
