If a postmark doesn't reflect when a parcel was handed-off to the USPS, then it's meaningless. Which is, of course, the point, to make it impossible to validate things like mail-in-voting.

When I asked Ahmed what he studied before this he told me he was in middle school… he lost so much of his childhood

Friend in Westchester NY is trying to place a very friendly cat that hangs out in their yard. The cat is good with other cats. Please spread the word.

Every day, I sink into rage because we don't have to live like this

The link opened for me but if it doesn't, this should get you around the paywall...

as I get ready to start my day in urgent care, id like to remind everyone to get their flu and covid shots, and wash your hands, and wear a darn mask if you're not feeling well!!!

Just watched an exit interview on pix11 with Eric Adams and it did not disappoint. His plans include "block chain" and "fighting antisemitism".

Many Filipino healthcare workers in the US live in fear of ICE: ‘This is my place of work. I should feel safe’ Filipinos make up a large percentage of the healthcare workforce, which includes undocumented people www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Our agencies are here to provide services. This is what they’re supposed to be doing.” By treating constituent problems as urgent and solvable, Zohran Mamdani's incoming administration is posing a surprisingly radical question: What if every day, government services actually worked?

The consequences of these choices have yet to be fully felt by Floridians. But they definitely are on the near horizon. floridaphoenix.com/2025/12/30/v...

Anyone doing rapid response work is, if they didn't already, now compiling lists of ppl you can call for help that arent police for any situation. At the end of this we will have an alternate system of care and protection that allows for abolishing not only ICE but police, so fuck you.

TOP FIVE: 1. Rising housing costs 2. Higher insurance premiums 3. Climate Concerns 4. Weaker labor force 5. Florida Man www.miamiherald.com/news/busines...

If this unprovoked airstrike means America is at war with Venezuela, then it is also at war with Yemen, Syria, Nigeria, and Somalia. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. What word we use to describe these attacks is less important than accepting that the US is a white supremacist rogue state.

I love the Branch Brook Park skate rink so much.

I really hope this was also Buscemi's card

"fear of an educated proletariat+ resistance to secular, integrated public schooling have been the central motive for defunding public education... public education, the closest thing to a lasting success amid the broader failure of Reconstruction, is in danger." www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

All beaches should be public goods. And I'll add bc Florida... no one should be driving a car onto them 🙃

ICE shoved a senior citizen to the ground who was filming them in New Jersey this weekend. Abolish it is the bare minimum.

Whatever they cannot control or grift they will destroy

It is inaccurate to the point of dishonest to use the phrase "self deport" to describe people detained in horrendous conditions agreeing to be removed from the country

Will be interesting to see who lionizes the five times convicted for inciting racial hatred Bardot. But hey, she loved animals. www.lemonde.fr/en/obituarie...

"The Black Antifascist Tradition" from @haymarketbooks.org places the long history of radical Black struggle against white supremacy firmly in a discourse of anti-fascism before much of North American radical leftists had even started to consider fascism www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2223-t...

Experts say Trump’s narrative of a “holy war” in Nigeria threatens to inflame religious tensions and incite violence.

This woman has been in ice jail for 10 months for absolutely no reason. It also shows how an arrest at a protest caused massive consequences - essentially creating a flag on her at her next immigration check in- even though charges were dropped

Find me a piece of ed tech from the past thirty years that's genuinely more about student learning than it is about extracting more labor from fewer teachers. Can't be done!

So how's that race to be the next #Florida governor going, Jimbo?

Honestly? Living in Alabama. When you live between Selma and Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, it is fairly impossible to fall into the "this is the worst it has ever been and it can't get better" pit. It was way worse for people here, in living memory, and they didn't shrug & give up. So I can't either.

we’ve been over this we just did this in Massachusetts they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

Speaks to something deeply wrong with capitalism that Lampert was allowed to annihilate the value of this company to less than nothing while still walking away with hundreds of millions in profits for himself from the saga.

I don’t know how this is being left out of like half of the reportage, but Nicki Minaj is clearly trying to kiss Trump‘s ass enough to let her child-raping brother off with a pardon. She hasn’t just like, gone insane or anything. www.bbc.com/news/newsbea...

a big reason I liked this site at the start was that we all tacitly agreed not to spread shit

I mean- to all the folks getting so excited about hockey right now, this is the biggest reason I stopped watching. My favorite player of all time, who I loved because he was a big strapping fighter that could score, died from CTE.

“What this administration is forcing us to recognize is that we’ve only got each other,” Favela said. “I think it’s these small acts of kindness that remind us, this is what the holidays are for, and this is what community does.”

Something I learned this year after so many years of taping and pinning up community info

Republicans push transphobic bigotry about "men using women's bathrooms" all the time but apparently actually have no problem with male ICE agents barging into women's bathrooms. Funny how that works. newrepublic.com/post/204732/...

ICE's deportation agenda is not possible without state & local collaboration. Learn more from our latest briefing 👇 www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2025/12...

What's the difference between states like Florida, where ICE arrests are sky-high, and states like Illinois with much lower rates of arrests? It's all about police & jails. Arrest rates out of homes, workplaces, etc are similar – but reining in sheriffs makes all the difference.

A quiet Baltimore suburb was shaken Wednesday morning after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot an undocumented driver trying to evade arrest. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/u...

No woman I know in academia would be surprised by this, but its good to see it documented like this, I guess.
