I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

NEW: When Christa Pike became the first person to survive multiple lethal injections, witnesses at the prison that day suddenly became a part of history. I spoke with @iamstevenhale.bsky.social of Nashville Banner about the things he saw in the execution chamber—and the things he could only hear:

The Woke are coming off a down season but the core remains intact and they've called up some young talent. Advanced metrics suggest their stars were underperforming their peripherals for much of the summer. Expect contention as early as next season if they sign some high heat relief over the winter

It’s not just calling out racism where he shines. He calls out corruption. He connects the dots between billionaires/republicans getting richer while costs go up. I hope he brings this plain language to immigration reform, LGBTQ/trans bigotry, ICE fascism, etc. @ossoff.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.
