its genuinely incredible that the government has been taken over by vandals, thieves, and bald-faced liars and the media is more or less reporting on them like they're normal heads of state

In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

this is a well-reported piece with an awful lot written between the lines, and one of the things that jumps out at me is just how ill-informed these people are. the trucker, his partner, his mother — they can’t even agree *amongst themselves* on a shared understanding of events

Great story by @gillianbrockell.com about progressives on the Chicago city council forcing a private equity firm trying to buy city parking meters to divest from Omni Air International, the charter airline that did ICE’s longest & cruelest flights. The spun-off Omni is now in huge financial trouble.

Drugging them so you can't hear them scream and writhe in agony during lethal injection to pretend it's humane is just evil. Y'all are subjecting people to some of the worst suffering imaginable to feel less guilty. If you can't bear the weight of your sins then ban the death penalty.

Eoin’s piece is worth reading in full. The point is that it’s critical to hold the responsible parties to account and certain types of language obfuscate that responsibility. That said, I fear we’re already trying to close the barn door after the fact when it comes to precision of language.

I know nothing about this man, except where he was at 8am on Saturday; except that I was the last person to catch a glimpse of him before he officially entered the hell and terror of ICE detention. I can imagine he knew this day might come; I can imagine people he loved had disappeared without explanation, and yet with but one explanation; I can imagine people who loved him spent much of Saturday trying to reach him, looking for him at his usual places, before reaching the horrible, desolate, unavoidable conclusion that so many here and across the country have had no choice but to reach in recent months.

The last time he promised something like this it became a tunnel with regular Tesla cars driven by humans at 30 miles per hour.
Elon Musk: Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.

It's actually extremely bad that congressional reps are paid less today than a baby new grad software engineer made in their first year (well, year and a day so their first year of stock vested) out of college 15 years ago. It's a big part of *why* the corruption became normalized!
A bluesky post:

"It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries."
