"What’s interesting when you dig into the arrest data is just how obvious it becomes that ICE is strategically and intentionally targeting certain regions over time." 💔🤍💙 austinkocher.substack.com/p/a-first-lo...

My aunt worked at my home county USDA office, and some of my earliest memories are of farmers and ranchers coming and going -- including my dad. One of my h.s. classmates ran it more recently. She took the 2025 deal. 💔🤍💙 civileats.com/2026/03/23/n...

Another new hero of mine speaking out about taxes!! ❤️🤍💙 Yes, era is a train wreck in many ways, but wow am I discovering some thoughtful and insightful people. youtu.be/kkqPmG5bhyo?...

I keep coming back to this conversation. It surprised me how well it captured concepts I've not previously been able to put into words for explaining why I hold liberal views. And it made me proud to hold those views. ❤️🤍💙 m.youtube.com/watch?v=U8PE...

I have been in this community several times for work recently. The number of anti-data center signs were hard to miss. Here's hoping voters carry their anger to the next city council election. 💔🤍💙 www.stlpr.org/government-p...

What a fantastic conversation on taxes. Wow. I agree with all of this. ❤️🤍💙 www.youtube.com/live/aBcPKrw...

What a fascinating conversation! I have never described my beliefs this way, but wow, they directly line up with this concept of liberalism. ❤️🤍💙 engelsbergideas.com/podcast/ei-t...

❤️🤍💙 We are in such a mess, but I love this perspective on civics education going forward.

And of course the current U.S. administration opts out. 💔🤍💙 www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

I've done two new baby meal train drop-offs this week, so my heart was in a place where this news completely broke it. 💔🤍💙 What is happening to us??? apnews.com/article/babi...

"Shame is a market inefficiency." 💔🤍💙 So happy my kiddo has aged out of youth hockey -- and that neither of my kiddos are caught up in the gambling frenzy. Pro sports have always been about money... but nowadays it's truly crazy.

And I am doing my part by telling *everyone* to avoid them. 💔🤍💙 Just canceled my HBOMax yesterday, and in the reason field I chose other and let them know exactly why.

Meanwhile, here's me out planting my little garden, as if plants still have a chance ... 💔🤍💙 www.scientificamerican.com/article/eart...

It blew my mind to learn that members of Congress have to pay their own parties for committee positions. (Explained ~20 minutes in.) And that's just one of the many, many, many things I learned via this excellent (and largely nonpartisan) podcast episode. 💔🤍💙 youtu.be/hNCbGYgWFiQ?...

Sooooooo very glad my boys were out of high school before this whole sports gambling and prediction market mess hit in full force. 💔🤍💙 They're still at some risk, but every month their adolescent brains develop without being hooked is a win. www.commonsensemedia.org/research/bet...

Just a heads up for anyone who eats ... 💔🤍💙 civileats.com/2026/03/17/o...

And another fantastic photojournalism piece by the Economic Hardship Reporting Project. ❤️🤍💙 This one documents resistance in Minnesota. economichardship.org/2026/02/dail...

Fantastic photojournalism and storytelling from the Economic Hardship Reporting Project. ❤️🤍💙 lapublicpress.org/2026/02/la-c...

Our whoooooole country is going to need this podcast episode once we finally get out of the current political moment. 💔🤍💙 youtu.be/LokSuOWYRgQ?...

The first guest on this episode had my jaw on the floor. The utter lack of conscience will come back to bite them. 💔🤍💙 But many will die before that finally happens. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Sharing this NOT to promote Palantir as a company (and NOT the X platform either, ugh!) but to show the U.S. Department of Defense is using Palantir's products, as told by the DOD's chief of AI. 💔🤍💙 x.com/PalantirTech...

My go-to source for reporting on the tech being used to target immigrants is 404 Media, but this is a very good piece from The Guardian. 💔🤍💙 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is one of the best (short-ish) summaries of immigration enforcement currently that I've heard. 💔🤍💙 music.amazon.com/podcasts/72a...

Loons will always freak me out, ever since I heard one for the very first time. That dude on Heated Rivalry had it right. 😅

Sometimes an interview just lays things out so clearly that you want to send it to everyone you know, everywhere on the political spectrum. This is one of those. 💔🤍💙 megaphone.link/GEMINIMEDIA9...

WTF is wrong with these people?!? How can anyone spend this much on luxury and not feel any guilt at all? youtu.be/lQOGUZRKnFE?...

Just a little something it feels like we can use today: a Buddhist teaching on right action from a woman down in Texas. ❤️🤍💙 openheartproject.com/ancient-wisd...

I was recently invited to a luxury box at a pro hockey game by a friend. The sight of all the food being thrown away throughout the suite level after the game was so frustrating that I decide I would decline future offers. So I like this idea!! ❤️🤍💙 nextcity.org/urbanist-new...

International Women's Day isn't a thing in the U.S. like it is elsewhere in the world. But perhaps one of these years we can get 8M going here too. 🪻💜 (No need to read Spanish - this piece is all images.) elpais.com/sociedad/dia...

A dear friend who lives near this building in Chicago told me this was likely the case right after the raid happened. 💔🤍💙 Good to see it coming out in public. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

I rarely get my news from legacy media anymore, and it breaks my heart. 💔🤍💙

Did you hear about the chaos at the county level in the Texas election??? Pay attention. 💔🤍💙 open.spotify.com/episode/7uWR...

My storm geek kiddo tells me the new way they present risk projection info on this page is fantastic. I'm trying to figure it out ... but I secretly hope he just texts me to translate when I'm in imminent danger. 😅 www.spc.noaa.gov

Spot on. 💔🤍💙 youtu.be/XnWUAIgEPao?...

#mood There is just no way to keep up. 💔🤍💙 open.spotify.com/episode/1luq...

Ugh. I did not know the publishing tie-in until today. Because seriously, how TF is a person to keep up with all this info??? 💔🤍💙 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

We are in such a freaking societal trainwreck, and the cars just keep piling up. 💔🤍💙 thehill.com/homenews/574...

I recently took an online course by Michele Waslin, one of the authors of this book. It was brilliant. I'm sharing this even though I haven't read it yet, because I'm sure it is equally brilliant. People like her give me hope that we will get immigration figured out. ❤️🤍💙 nyupress.org/978147982433...

Props to the medical blog "You Can Know Things" for highlighting this very concerning study. 💔🤍💙 "... of the clinical cases that required emergent evaluation in the ER, ChatGPT Health recommended they go to the ER in only half of cases." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Back in journalism school, our photography prof assigned us to take pictures of 10 strangers. To my surprise, some students couldn't/wouldn't. And the resulting images of their friends faking it were obvious. He gently suggested they find a new career path. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

One of the most valuable things I learned while working in the child development/parenting space is that the word discipline has its roots in learning rather than punishment. Thus AI ethics training as a consequence of misuse makes a ton of sense. ❤️🤍💙 districtadministration.com/article/what...

Because I lived in Europe from 1995-2001, this war still feels tangible to me. It is a cautionary tale about hate. 💔🤍💙 youtu.be/wxSUK1Ofx6k?...

It feels like a good time to share this since so much attention is focused on Mexico right now. 💔🤍💙
