When I was ~22 I missed the last train at Penn Station at 1:40 a.m. and the next one wasn't for like 2 1/2 hours, so I sat on the ground against a pillar to wait for it. I must have dozed off; I woke to my rib breaking as a cop kicked me to move along. There's one part of this story I've left...

I know Musk is high on the list of Most Responsible For How Things Are but the person I loathe most is Jenny McCarthy and whichever editor/producer platformed her. Once someone decided she knew more than a doctor we were fucked forever. She's the reason people believe TikTok and YouTube.

For every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice. Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life.

Gone in 90 seconds: an ‘invisibilized’ ICE is arresting more people than ever

After public backlash, the Trump administration changed its tactics from ‘siege’ to ‘soft feet’. Now, ICE is everywhere

ICE IS ABOUT TO MAKE YOUR GROCERY BILL EVEN WORSE Cattle groups in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas say ICE raids are creating a “massive chilling effect” on legal, documented workers, disrupting meatpacking and delaying the processing of thousands of cattle. They’re reporting millions in losses.

Because why would engineering students ever need to study the ways their very expertise has been used and abused in the past, the way 'oh, I'm just an engineer solving a problem' has been a necessary and foundational lie in every modern system of oppression or extermination?

The bill for OBBBA is coming due, more than a year later. Millions have lost SNAP and Medicaid coverage. Families are turning to food pantries. One New Yorker watched her health premium rise from $0 to $850 a month. The tax cuts, meanwhile, went where they always go.

One Big Beautiful Bill Is Starting to Bite Before the Election

The tax cuts in President Trump’s signature achievement were the Republicans’ answer to voters’ economic struggles, but its health care and food assistance cuts are taking a toll.
