This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

i have 2.5M followers across all social media. statistically, there's a good chance one of you works at in AI. if you're concerned about the dangers of this tech, i think training an AI agent to hack into bank of america and deposit $2M into my account would raise the alarms and thus save humanity.

ICE has notified me that another person has died in their custody. This is the 58th death under ICE’s watch since Trump returned to office. That’s 58 too many. We need to dismantle ICE, eliminate private, for-profit detention centers, and reform our broken immigration system.

Aside from the AI stuff, I don't think the tech industry has the patience or attention span to successfully educate children. They tried a decade ago with AltSchool, and it was easier for Silicon Valley to abandon the project than to find ways to improve. It left students and families in the dust.

If they fire all the humanities professors, there will be no new research. AI will only have today’s ideas about humanity, fossilized & infinitely remixed. It would represent the death of universities as centers of knowledge production, and of academic humanities as a living, evolving project.

Keep in mind that your book will be shelved in one section of a bookstore rather than on multiple shelves. An agent can help refine that category before subbing your book, but I'd consider what might be the primary genre, i.e. a horror with romantic elements, or a romance with horror elements #AskDV

We've reached a point where success is no longer considered successful enough to keep paying people to do good work. Not when you can spend zero dollars instead. Humans have quickly become an unnecessary expense in the eyes of corporate leaders. And that just makes me sad.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

Also Sunday, in Evanston. Bystanders interrupted the attack, rendered aid, and called emergency services. ICE drove off leaving the man bleeding and injured in the street. They tossed his wallet onto the ground. A US citizen. He reportedly refused to give them id, his right under IL law.

As we get thrust into an unnecessary period of fascistic violence, war over resources, and the stripping of basic human services and dignity, the appeal of AI for the powerful isn’t just planning or war making, it’s creating a system that will do what they want and allow them to shirk all blame.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

I was 11 years old when Clueless: the TV show premiered, and I loved it. I watched it every week that first season when it was on TGIF. I didn't see the movie until I was in my mid-20s, so Rachel Blanchard was the real Cher in my mind for well over a decade.

The 9/11 Museum in New York City is well worth the visit. The young people in our group were fascinated and us older folks were moved to tears. It's also a massive museum that covers several different aspects of the day's events as well as the history leading up to it and the 25 years of aftermath.

The Trump 2nd term has been a series of astonishing coincidences. The latest, Trump announces he'll tear down the Kennedy Center if he can't put his name on it. Next, the willows trees around it are cut down. Now, 2 days after a strong D.C. storm, they claim it damaged the INSIDE of the building.
