This is a more baroque expression than most, but I'm eternally fascinated by the tiktok world of "restocks" and shopping ASMR. Vast, spotless kitchens, houses only exited and entered behind the wheel of a pristine SUV, a fantasy life that promises an endless supply of single-use plastic

Seeing a lot of reactions to tech-world sex party allegations that start off with "of course these events are great if you're into that kind of thing!" And frankly a lot of workplace sex pests are banking on exactly that impulse to hedge your condemnation in order to avoid looking like a prude

I always felt a little silly that when a trans friend of mine discussed the hurdles of getting treatment for a stigmatized condition that a lot of people think is made up I always felt the impulse to say "sounds exactly like my ADHD meds." But TERF island is trying to prove me right

My dad was extremely proud of the frat he belonged to in college and encouraged my brother to rush the same chapter. When my brother quit and told him about the hazing he experienced, my dad and a few of his friends personally called the national org to raise hell, after which the chapter was banned

My most awkward job interview moment was the time I took someone's advice to ask "why did the last person to hold this position leave?" And it turned out he was a beloved employee who had recently been murdered. I did get the job though

This is not deporting people. Literally. Legally. There is a deportation process and this isn't it. This is rendition. This is disappearing people.

I'm from Johnson City, Kansas, about 100 miles southwest of Dodge City. This is horrific. The only light in this situation is seeing so many people not okay with it.

Aaron Estabrook.

Dodge City is my hometown. What's happening there today is hard to watch.

ICE is conducting what residents describe as a multiday operation across Southwest Kansas, including Dodge City, Garden City and Liberal. The Liberal, KS Vice Mayor reportedly watched as many as 60 of her neighbors were detained and taken away on buses today. Educators in Dodge City are worried about students returning home from school to find their parents gone.

Think about what that means for a child they ask.

Residents report large white buses staged in these communities and ICE agents stationed at meatpacking plants during shift changes, spreading panic through an industry already under stress. Unmarked vehicles recklessly cutting across the cities, pinning cars on main routes and back alleys.

Peaceful protesters have gathered along Wyatt Earp Boulevard near El Capitan, with people also gathering at the fairgrounds in Garden City this evening.

There are deeply troubling reports and images of agents breaking car windows

There are deeply troubling reports and images of agents breaking car windows while babies were inside in car seats. Families are also sharing videos they say show ICE detaining someone born and raised in Garden City. Those accounts need independent verification and answers. We still don't have a confirmed regional count, and I cannot verify suggestions that hundreds were detained today.

But the accounts coming from these communities describe parents, grandparents, neighbors, friends and employees being taken away. Calling an operation a crackdown on "the most dangerous criminals” does not establish that everyone swept up in it fits that description.

Of course, some people are pleased to see this day come. I am not. Federal agents tearing families apart in our state inspires nothing in me but grief for those involved, especially the kids.

And who benefits from the damage left behind?

Removing workers and frightening entire communities risks making agricultural labor harder to find, disrupting meat production and putting more pressure on food prices. Small businesses lose customers. Families lose income. Schools are left helping children cope with fear and

are left helping children cope with fear and uncertainty. Local governments lose too. Immigrants pay taxes; sales, property, income.

For my entire life, immigration has been part of Southwest Kansas. Immigrant families have worked in our packing plants, helped sustain our farms, opened businesses, raised children and made these communities their home. They are part of the place I grew up. I loved being neighbors with them and growing up with their children.

I want to know how many people were taken, why they were detained and what is happening to their children. These communities deserve answers, and every person detained deserves due process and humane treatment.

I grew up understanding that people came to Southwest Kansas to work hard and build a life. Watching families who did exactly that being torn apart feels foreign to everything I have known about home. This is beyond politics. It's human decency. I pray that no tragic event occurs and human dignity is honored by all involved.

450 million years ago the majority of life in the oceans had soft bodies that did not fossilize very well. Their fossilized remains often appear as blurry stains upon a rock, but now and then a specimen is found with a well preserved body part, like this strange marrelomorph.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
