I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

"Witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street."

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

The moving walkway in the 1950s found its “perfect use case in an up and coming institution: the airport.” From Dallas Love Field to the LAX “Astroway” and United’s tunnel at O’Hare, the moving walkway from @99pi.org.

Arsenal fans, we may not have beaten Man City last week, but we have a chance to beat Carmelo Anthony in an equally important contest. vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting...

Important story on the show this week about the dangerous meatpacking industry turning to refugees for cheap labor

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

yesssss‼️🐺

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

My colleague Isabel is going through something awful right now. If you liked the Power Broker series from @99pi.org, that was her show. Any support would be appreciated during this very hard time. www.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-...

I'm a big fan of the @99pi.org podcast, so I'm thrilled to be on this week's episode talking about AIR-BORNE with @romanmars.bsky.social We discuss air as infrastructure. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/637-...

San Francisco and Bay Area folks: This is tomorrow! Join me and @emmettfitzgerald.bsky.social of @99pi.org for a shady conversation at the Commonwealth Club.

How a radio show born at a small college station in DC and dedicated to smooth, romantic love songs transformed black radio and reshaped love lives across the country.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

The high in the East Bay today is 70°. The fact that we don't have Manhattan-level density is a climate resilience planning failure.

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

my god

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

“The Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defender” - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

Brilliant podcast episode featuring an Arsenal twist and a singing @gunnerblog.bsky.social
