ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social I met this dog today! I saw her with her mom and was going to ask if I could say hi, but before I could, they approached me, and her mom asked, “Can my dog say hi to you?”

...Just sprinting through to point out that THE SENTENCE by Louise Erdrich is ON SALE at @libro.fm - it's about a literally haunted bookshop, as well as love, justice, forgiveness, and just how hilariously annoying one customer can get... libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

Working on our family pics 😎 omg I love them so much. 😭 🥰

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

Happy Christmas dog sweater season to all who celebrate

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

Racism is so powerful in America it’s our greatest intellectual export

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

“.. How will it be when we will miss JoAnn’s clear voice — quiet, insistent, regular, and respectful — about the new and daily injustices being perpetrated on already-suffering people?” Sister Susan Sanders, president of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, said in a statement. #RIP 🙏🏼

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world And by design LLMs destroy shared context

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago. Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

Good morning

You guys, if you are a Pluribus fan, google that word right now. (Google may be evil now, but they still have some panache)

Kitten post! Look at this scrawny little monster who infests my home. I love him.

Before a single strike, several lawyers raised red flags: • No self-defense justification • No organized armed group attacking Americans • No legal basis for killing civilians These concerns were documented and ignored — they appear to have been executions. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

On the patently unlawful boat strikes It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes. WaPo's new revelations on firings or removals: 1) CIA General Counsel 2) NSC Legal Adviser 3) CIA Mission Center’s lawyer 🧵

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Pretty well established finding that immigration raids of workplaces reduce student test performance for nearby schools, including for non-vulnerable students. The general DHS surge appears to be doing the same for student performance. www.nber.org/papers/w34452
