why do all white millennials exclusively refer to their children as ‘kiddos’?

The Knicks win resonates so broadly because it’s a much-needed reminder that the good thing about living in a time where anything is possible (doom) is the fact that anything is possible (magic).

dems: ICE is bad, cops are good! cops will protect us from ICE. cops: Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan said of Wilson’s plan that “The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen.”

not cops getting a PR glow up on the backs of disgusting ICE and CBP violence. two things can be true: this moment can be unprecedented/ uniquely bad without us unnecessarily drawing not very tight distinctions between ICE and cops that paint cops in a light they certainly don’t deserve.

this narrative pivot from the field that’s like “public safety, not wealth, should decide who is jailed pretrial” vs “pretrial freedom all day every day” is really getting my goat.

when they say kids are expensive, they mean we bought $40 of fruit for *the week* at the farmers market this morning at 8:30am. reader, it is 7:33 pm on that very same day and i’m going to invite you to guess how many pieces we have left.

gives me chills that people can see somebody experiencing houselessness & feel that *they* are the victims of that story. and that the policy solution is ensuring that they no longer have to see or be proximate to that person, rather than addressing the conditions that leave people without housing.

i wish more media would just call this president what he is which is blood thirsty. this is the same man who used his own money to take out a full page ad 30 years ago in his personal capacity just to call for the execution of later exonerated Black kids in the Central Park jogger case.

BREAKING: death of anti-ICE protester in Los Angeles @lapublicpress.bsky.social is reporting Skid Row resident Adrienne Villa was found dead in her jail cell while in LASD custody at the courthouse, hours after pleading not guilty to over a dozen charges of alleged assault/battery on a cop.

One woman among those charged died in custody while detained at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, shortly after she attended a hearing on June 17 during which she pleaded not guilty to 14 charges, 10 of which carried enhancements under California’s Three Strikes Law for prior felony convictions. During that hearing, she was remanded to custody and had bail set at $1.33 million. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lieutenant Daniel Vizcarra told LA Public Press that she was found hanging in a cell lockup, later that day. The coroner pronounced her dead just before 4 a.m. the next morning, on June 18, 2025.

as someone who lost their dad at 4, i can’t stop thinking about his daughter. beyond what anas meant to Gaza, to humanity at large, about what he will always mean to her. about receiving a blessing as unthinkable as being born to a dad like that only to have him ripped so needlessly from you.

whites supremacy isn’t mostly people in white hoods or proud boys. it’s mostly this belief that the mere act of being white imbues superiority upon you; that white people should have first, best or only access to every good, opportunity & privilege has to offer before anybody else gets anything.

As a brutal heat wave overtakes much of the country, almost every single state lacks universal air conditioning in their prisons, where temperatures can exceed 120 degrees. This isn’t an issue of comfort or luxury — it's an issue of life or death for many incarcerated people.

We continue to live in a society that ignores the greatest dangers to children (cars, guns, environmental toxins) while looking for someone to blame when they die. My thoughts go out to Jessica Ivey and Samuele Jenkins. Letting your 10 yr. old and 7 yr. old children walk home is not a crime!

took such tremendous inspiration from @prisonculture.bsky.social’s newsletter today. these days when i’m overwhelmed with grief or rage, i sometimes just quietly chant the names of the people i belong to & the people who belong to me. that remembering of who i’m fighting with & for is meditative.
