Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.
From @prisonpolicy.org: New analysis of government data from ICE via the Deportation Data Project shows federal agents reliant on local jails and police to reach their arrest numbers.

That the resentment is valid doesn't mean that the thoughts people have as expressions of the resentment are correct. Also, conceiving of a broad liberal arts education as a luxury and attributing the cost of college to the limited degree to which that eduction still exists are both mistakes.

Even if we would stipulate that the *only* purpose of college is vocational training (ugh) if you think you, at 18 years old, not only know for sure what your future career will be but also know better than all the professors at a college what skills you will need for that career, why bother?

I interviewed @corinnelow.com about her book Having It All, and how sexism and men's unwillingness to do domestic chores and childcare puts a lot of constraints on what women can in fact have. Important to recognize that and make decisions accordingly! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/how-women-...

one small lesson to take away from the crumbling HE sector, btw, is that there is no such thing as meritocracy here and the only thing that matters is doing work that is meaningful to you and the people you care about and to make friends and collaborators in the process

It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”
