Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

We can debate capital punishment in general some other time, but can we at least agree right now that a *televised* execution should be considered cruel and unusual? This absolutely should not be allowed to happen.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Thank you, Rays. For now the seventeenth consecutive season, the Yankees will NOT win the World Series. Now let's hope this year also begins a similar streak for the West Coast Yankees, a.k.a. the Dodgers.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

“i don’t want some other kid putting thoughts into my kid’s head that lead to a harder life.” well, first of all, stop working so fucking hard to make being trans a harder life, you piece of shit. second of all, if you can’t handle talking to your kid about gender you probably shouldn’t have a kid.

This collection of campaign signs in my neighbors’ front yard really underscores the value of designers understanding typographic hierarchy.
Trio of signs in a front yard. Two are for Ohio Democratic candidates Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown, with their names in large type. The third says “Hitler” at the top in large type, with a bulleted list that compares his actions to President Trump. Unfortunately, from afar, it appears to be a Hitler campaign sign.

Every time a politician or pundit talks about not wanting boys in girls' bathrooms or sports, I *want* to naively interpret it as reasonable, because on the surface, it *is*, but only if you correctly believe that trans girls are *girls*, and not boys. And unfortunately that is never what they mean.
