“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Alt: a woman in a black jacket is walking down a hallway in a room, wearing a chic outfit, including a pair of thigh high Chanel boots. Two women — one with red hair and one with blonde hair — stare at her in surprise. It’s a scene from the movie “the devil wears Prada,” in which Andie gets a makeover and wears “the Chanel boots” for the first time

A conundrum for me: our govt is made of laws, & has a process for enforcing them. Under this admin, courts are telling the executive that it must follow the laws. When it comes to enforcement, and the exec says, “you and what army”, we don’t have an answer for that; exec has the enforcement tools.

It's amazing how badly most congressional Democrats are misreading the mood of their base. On the bright side, if you're ever considered running for Congress, the 2026 Democratic Party primaries are going to be a prime moment for "throw the old guard out" insurgents.

Well this is grim
weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgptand i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here"

the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine

with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world

but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNEDthis kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me.

he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood
