62 years ago today, the Food Stamp Act was signed into law. The program helped millions of people, especially children, access affordable food — until Trump and Republicans gutted it in their big, ugly bill. Don’t believe their lies about food stamps for a second.

Regarding the Supreme Court Trans decision: it’s a travesty for human rights to allow states to deny trans kids the ability to play sports.

Again, talking about ordinary government processes as if we're not living through a major political crisis creates the illusion of normalcy. It's counterproductive. We have a lawless, illegitimate president and we have to confront that fact, loud and often

We’re under siege. ICE just shot and killed a guy in Minneapolis. 7 guys surrounding and beating him and then multiple shots. Multiple. After he was still. We need all the helpers helping right now. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

Of course he frames it that way but there wouldn’t be a problem if ICE wasn’t using disproportionate force against largely peaceful people. He’s got a major chip on his shoulder.

Being in the US unlawfully is akin to jaywalking, not violence. There's no justification for ICE’s disproportionate violence against people who live their lives peacefully. Think about that next time you roll through a stop sign. Breaking the law, yes. Deserves being deported over, no.

When Rosa asked about his wife’s medical care, the agent cited HIPAA laws as a barrier to knowing her health issues. Taken aback, Rosa pointed out that doctors can share medical information with law enforcement when a patient is in custody, which is specifically outlined in HIPAA.

“He said a very disgusting joke after that,” Rosa recalled.

“He said, ‘We’ll notify next of kin if she dies.’ And at that moment, I knew that I was no longer dealing with humans.”

“I knew I was dealing with someone that is sick in the head, and this was the person who made the decision to incarcerate her,” Rosa said.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
