So ICE, like police officers, basically get to execute people, say some nonsense about feeling in danger, and then completely get away with executing people

I wrote about the irony of Platner and his campaign trying to convince journalists, commentators and voters that they had outsmarted the trappings of traditional masculinity, only to come crashing down as a result of it:
thehandbasket.co
We didn’t need a rape accusation to know Graham Platner was unfit
Despite months of red flags, his allies insisted he was the vision of positive masculinity the party needed.

Trump thanks FIFA for overturning a “grave injustice” against a guy who is only an American thanks to birthright citizenship. 🫡

Comical shit. People were saying that the USMNT and Trump are separate and here he is using his shared corruption with Infantino to help them. And the fans who postured as anti-Trump and anti-FIFA are celebrating it.

Do not let your outrage and your learning stop with ICE. Develop an understanding of the connections between federal repression and local policing, between repressive bureaucracies at home and abroad, between the actors who profit on it in 50 languages, etc.

Guess who is back to writing? I wrote about people defacing the friend companion ads, and the cycle of tech vultures destroying our world and then feeding on the consequential loneliness and pain www.thenation.com/article/soci...

AI Will Never Be Your Friend
The Friend necklace promises constant companionship and understanding. But this isn’t friendship—it’s a soulless, cynical way to prey on our loneliness and fear.

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

Interesting to watch this man be presented as a puzzle and as someone deranged because of the act of killing, which when done on an individual basis is seen as monstrous, but no one can pretend that killing is so rare to be so, or that it’s viewed as monstrous when it’s formalized.

Harris will get between 85-90% of Black men’s votes. “The “problem” in this country is how the *majority* of white people vote. The force holding this country back is the *majority* of white people. The people who have turned against democracy are the *majority* of white people.”

Black Men Will Vote for Harris—White Men Are the Problem
Why is the media talking so much about the fraction of Black men who might go MAGA when more than 60 percent of white men will vote for Trump?
