They Saw Their Neighbors Taken Away by ICE. Then They Made a Plan. The movement against ICE in Los Angeles — one that is starting to take root across the country — demonstrates a shift from symbolic protest to direct action. By Michelle Goldberg and Daniel Terna www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/o...

people who go “you hate them just because you disagree on ONE thing,” and the “one thing” is fundamental human rights

"you can embrace the chaotic, messy, sometimes frustrating democratic system that has produced more innovation than any other system in human history. Or ... a dictator who eagerly promises to make everything simple and efficient mainly by ignoring the nuances and complexities of reality"

Also if your company is collecting employee data, make sure you have strong privacy and security protections

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

One month apart.

"“This has nothing to do with political party,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced during a Monday press conference. “Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights.”" www.washingtoninformer.com/naacp-nomina...

My advice to trans people, get out while you can. It won't get better within at least two decades and most likely will only get worse. Your job is solely to survive. nonprofitquarterly.org/trans-refuge...

We need to do more to protect transgender people since the courts are failing. In 2023, Project Include shared 12 recommendations on how to support trans employees at work based on surveys of 3,000 workers and interviews of 20 experts. projectinclude.org/assets/pdf/P...

we've been shouting about this since gamergate btw

This gives me hope and I recommend you watch so it gives you hope, too.

"For many companies, excitement over the promise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has given way to vexation over the difficulty of making productive use of the technology. The share of companies abandoning...has risen to 42%, up from 17% last year." www.economist.com/business/202...

So the Dems want to suck up to the most hated person in the US? Who hates unions, women, transgender people and Black people? Whose Tesla plant had areas called the "predator zone" and "plantation"? How much do you think he can donate? They really want to accelerate their path to self-destruction

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

It's Pride month, everyone. Instead of talking about it, why not implement our recommendations from "Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Inclusion in the Workplace: What companies need to know and do"?

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

If they included their own role in encouraging the fight against trans youth, it would be twice as long at least

From the New York Times, a 5 part podcast ignoring their own role in fomenting a moral panic targeting trans youth.

The FBI is seeking to criminally investigate gender affirming care providers, even in blue states with shield law protections. www.thedissident.news/fbi-posts-om...

They’re doing this to children? www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Tech bros made a machine that’s just like them.

Build it and they will ... accelerate climate change help steal from unpaid content creators contribute to underpaying labor further line the pockets of our multibillionaire oligarchs

ICE arrested a student on the way to volleyball practice in Milford, detained people waiting at an immigration court in Boston, smashed a car window of the wrong person in New Bedford, and the list goes on. Communities are right to speak out. This isn’t making us safer.

BIG CHANGE: Polish TV has updated its exit poll (a so-called late poll) by IPSOS, and now shows the nationalist candidate Karol Nawrocki ahead, 50.7% to 49.3%. We will not know the final results until tomorrow morning… and there’s a lot of counting ahead, but quite a mood change from 2 hours ago.

I'd much rather be scammed by some poor mom trying to feed her kids than the richest man in the world trying to add to his own wealth, but maybe I'm a sap.

“And for what?…to fund a tax cut for the super wealthy and corporations. That is fundamentally immoral and unethical”

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Fifty years after he was graduated from Princeton University, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered the baccalaureate address at his alma mater. This is how he ended the speech:

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

I hate migrants and people with darker skin, except for my wife, but that's not why I want to change US immigration policy. by JD Vance

On the gulf between who we are and who we want to be, and how to bridge it so we show up in this moment. It was a big lesson I learned at reddit: people hate thinking about the gulf; the more you point it out, the more upset they get. But what if they took action instead?

A day for the history books: the President of the United States invokes "white genocide," while the Vice President highlights "great replacement" theory, both staples of racist right-wing extremism.

People are going to argue with this while ignoring how many places have stations that aren't accessible. They will also argue that the real problem is parents taking babies outside instead of any discussion about how much urban policy centers white, single, and able bodied people in the city center

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Schools should be getting ahead of the backlash by banning phones and not requiring as much time on internet research or apps.

What could go wrong?

Just more proof that Joe Rogan has jumped the shark

Apologies if I didn't respond to your email. I've been busy...

These days it helps to look for the beacons of light and the helpers. Keith Haring's art has so much joy and impact, even during the dark 1980s in NYC. I found out he has a stamp so I bought 4 sheets. (I wish it had his signature so everyone would learn more about him)

There's a lot of chatter around the proposal being inserted into a budget bill that would put a moratorium on any AI legislation being passed by the states for the next 10 years. I thought I'd say a bit about why this is an absolutely disastrous move. www.404media.co/republicans-... 1/n
