I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

this is certainly what some people WANT you to believe, yes
Maths and physics are objective and humanities is subjective.

That's the difference.

New planet just dropped and it

1) is almost exactly Earth-sized

2) has a year that's almost exactly 1 Earth year.

3) orbits a star that is not a 💢temperamental little shit M-dwarf 💢but is instead a 🧡 good orange boi 🧡

Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social visited Liam and his dad today at the Texas ICE facility.

He shared this photo on social media that shows Liam either sleeping or lying weakly in his father’s arms.

This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.
Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

Dear Adobe,

No, I don't need the AI to summarize. No, I don't need the AI to help me search. No, I don't need the AI to help me resize the margins. No, I don't need the AI to do anything.

What I need is to hit the print icon without your product crashing from all of the AI popups.

"I saved this for the book" is disqualifying at the best of times but on this particular subject it should mean you are banned from ever doing anything in media again
The flood of insider tell-all books we're going to see when It happens will be maddening.

One way to judge a society is by how it treats its children and their caregivers. By that metric, we have been failing long before Trump.

Did you know Nixon vetoed a childcare bill that included universal preschool? Congress hasn’t passed any major childcare bills since then.
For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
 
That’s what we have to change.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

people will say “his father lived until his 90s”, and that’s true, we have seen pictures of what he looked like by then, and, also, his father didn’t have one of the most stressful and taxing jobs on earth, which is still stressful and taxing even if you’re the laziest and worst person to ever do it

The immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
