Hey, New York. This is bad. If you're in Pat Ryan's district, click through for a link to the petition he's pushing to oppose this.

Has anyone else watched Grand Star; a kinda Snowpiercer adjacent post apocalyptic vaguely hopeful lite sci fi TV show? Not firing on all cylinders but not without some interest imo.

This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.
Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

You're like a beautiful freight train,
moving fast, on your way at night,

and I am a sheep in a field,
near the tracks, gazing up at you.

Hey Booksky, I finished and loved Ninth Life by Stark Holborn. So many things done right! Anyone have a great Sci Fi recommendation?

If an autistic child asks you why you are doing something, please do not think they are criticizing you or asking you to stop. They want to know why you are doing what you are doing. They might be so happy and amazed at what you are doing they want to understand better.

If an autistic child asks you what time you are leaving please do not think they are being impatient. They want to plan the day. Please tell them what time you think you will leave and how sure you are about that time.

If an autistic child asks you why they should make the bed, please do not think they are saying they do not want to make the bed. They want to understand the benefits and drawbacks of bed making so they can make an informed decision. Perhaps then also explain what bed making entails.

If you are in LA and want to interrupt criminalization in the context of care, join organizers in the streets tomorrow at 10 am to say ICE & cops out of care and get one of these gorgeous signs based on art by @monicatrinidad.bsky.social for @interruptcrim.bsky.social’s toolkit - or make your own!

The purpose of companies is to provide a living wage to workers and produce useful materials for customers. If they break even and do these things they are a successful company.

Ukrainian President Zelensky met with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London yesterday

He said:

“Under our laws, under international law—and under moral law—we have no right to give anything away.”

Kyiv is pushing for changes to a White House-backed peace plan, which critics said was too sympathetic to the Kremlin’s demands.
