I'm not as new to all of this as I look. 😉 I love sci-fi, music, new and different cultures and FOOD. Folks in the US, please, please travel more! There's a world of ideas out there waiting. ❤️

Well done, Gillian!!! Your work matters SO much— to the people who have suffered on these flights and deserve to have their stories told, to the people who may NOT be deported because fewer flights take place, and to those of us who are sick of the cruelty that is being done with our tax money.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

This is a bad ruling for all of the reasons Justice Jackson’s dissent make clear. But as both the majority and dissent point out, it’s not likely to have major effects *this* cycle because we’re inside the 90-day NVRA purge window.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

You do not beta-test voting rules on a live federal election. Voters are not test subjects and ballots are not a pilot program. If you need “real-world evidence” to find out how your rule works, you’ve just admitted you don’t know what you’re implementing.

The feminist movement was never a threat to men. Secure men have always understood that. They stood beside women, fought for equality, and some proudly called themselves feminists too. If women having equal power feels like oppression to you, feminism isn’t the problem.

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

I think the punditariat's audience, which is older people, just cannot even remotely fathom that white nationalists run the country—that they do not believe it when they are told, nor recognize it when they see it. The pundits fall back on threats from the left, which are legible to their audience.
