If they succeed at closing the post office it will be because too many people grew up without radio stations that played Motown songs about writing and mailing letters

I was so upset about SCOTUS allowing "third country" deportations to resume, I wrote a column — and asked the amazing @older.bsky.social, David Unger, Francisco Goldman and Sarah Paoletti to give me their thoughts on the ruling... www.inquirer.com/opinion/scot...

In a disgraceful emergency ruling, SCOTUS lets Trump resume violating human rights | Sabrina Vourvoulias
While the ruling does not make a determination on the legality of what are known as “third-country” deportations, it is being celebrated as a victory by the Trump administration.

Most people seem to agree with me about how we shouldn’t ban teens from all public spaces, incl the mall, but some people seem to relish their power to dominate a subgroup. Weren’t you a teen yourself? But no, the idea of hurting a designated lesser group has some cruel appeal.

Trump has cut legal immigration from majority-Muslim countries by 96% from 21,096 legal immigrants and refugees in Dec. 2024 to 808 in Feb. 2026. Far more severe than anything in his 1st term, falling disproportionately on spouses of US citizens and skilled immigrants... www.cato.org/blog/legal-i...

So gross but clear
A facebook post by the US embassy in Yaoundé that has trumps image, plus this horrible phrase:

There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.
L'immigration clandestine ne relève d'aucun droit de l'homme, mais il existe un droit à rester une nation souveraine.

Haha wtf
3. Can I ask my new job to go fully remote because of my child's school schedule?
I joined my organization two months ago, and the role was advertised as hybrid. During the interview, I was told I would need to be in the office twice a week to collaborate with the team. However, my daughter was recently accepted into a five days a week.
Given that most employees only come in once a week or work entirely remotely - with at most 10 people in the office at any given time- is it appropriate for me to request to transition to fully remote work despite my short tenure?

Emphasis on “competitive half-day pre-K program, which ends at 11:20 am” words that don’t go together

It is breathtaking. Like many things these days it is hard, but necessary, to figure what is a continuity and what is a rupture. EdTech has always been a private sector parasite feeding off the public sector. The rupture is AI EdTech is experimenting on the rich instead of the poor.

After spending most of the previous 100 years in the minority, North Carolina Republicans swept the 2010 elections and seized control of the General Assembly. They’ve largely dictated the state’s policy agenda ever since. Are we better off? www.theassemblync.com/special-repo...
