So the #NFL fans were definitely booing during the US national anthem, right? And @cbssportscbb.bsky.social muted them as best they could but it was even more obvious when they didn't mute during the Brazilian national anthem. Coaches/players clearly uncomfortable. #NFLRio

Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price (2021) As a ♿ person who lived the laziness lie until my body physically could barely move, this resonated HARD. It helped me recognize ways in which I still gaslight myself & how my tendency to get stuck in paralysis is the evidence. #HaecReads2025 #Booksky

The cover of the audiobook Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price, Ph.D. The design consists of four horizontal paper-like strips in shades of yellow, orange, and red. The title is displayed in black serif font, with each word placed on a separate strip: "Laziness" on yellow, "Does" on orange, "Not" on dark orange, and "Exist" on red. Below the title, the author's name, "Devon Price, Ph.D.," is written in white text. The narrator, Em Grosland, is credited in small white text on the right side of the red strip.

A portrait of Dr. Devon Price, author of Laziness Does Not Exist standing against an orange background. He smiles at the camera. He is wearing a charcoal t-shirt and black jeans. He has a simple line art tattoo on his left forearm and a a silicone support bracelet that I cannot identify on his wrist.

"Wild Indians""off the reservation" is not a constitutional argument worthy of publication or debate; it is a stereotype. Native nation treaty land blanketed the West. Within treaty lands, the US army slaughtered and mutilated women and children (e.g. Sand Creek, 1864). Not "off the reservation."

Sexual harassment is ALWAYS about asserting power. And Andrew Cuomo will do whatever he wants to assert his dominance - over government staff, other elected officials, and the New Yorkers he claims he wants to represent. It’s disgusting and disqualifying.

In her book, Miner also recounted two incidents in which Cuomo publicly kissed her at the end of well-attended events.
"I assumed he did it because he knew I was popular, and he wanted to show people we had a relationship as he prepared for his reelection," she said, recalling an encounter after one of his 2017 State of the State addresses. "Did I want that? No. Was it clear from my body language, my facial expression, and everything he knew about me I did not want that? Yes, which is why he did it: to show his political dominance ...
"With Andrew Cuomo, his kissing me was about power. I never viewed it as sexual. We were gladiators in a public ring and that's how he showed he was boss ... I chose to be in the arena, and his kisses were the least of his control tactics."

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

ALIEN ENEMIES ACT:
ALIEN ENEMY VALIDATION GUIDE
In the case of: ________________________________ A-File No:__________________
1. The person named above is fourteen years or older:
2. The person named above is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United

your supervisor and the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, and, where applicable, initiate removal proceedings under the

4. The person named above is validated as a member of Tren de Aragua (TDA), as
determined by reference to the following evaluation form:
Instructions: Complete the following validation evaluation form for each suspected

After accounting for the two comments below, aliens scoring 8 points and higher are
validated as members of TDA; you should proceed with issuing Form AEA-21B, titled, “Notice
and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal under the Alien Enemies Act.” Aliens scoring 6 or
7 points may be validated as members of TDA; you should consult with a supervisor and
OPLA, reviewing the totality of the facts, before making that determination; if you determine
an alien should not be validated at this time as a member of TDA, when available, you should
initiate removal proceedings under the INA. Alien scoring 5 points or less should not be
validated at this time as member of TDA; when available, you should initiate removal
proceedings under the INA.

The following alt-text is excerpted of a larger checklist, as the whole page doesn't fit within alt-text character limits.

Comment 2: For purposes of validating an alien as a member of TDA, at least one
scoring category must involve conduct occurring, or information received, within the past five
years.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.
