One of the few stories my dad shared with me of his childhood was of his mother telling him that if he didn’t eat the bread crusts, a giant would trap him in a house made from all the uneaten crusts; he would be forced to eat them to escape.
Now I wonder if the house I grew up in was made of bread.

Yes, the SAVE Act is bad, but repealing Section 230 has -bipartisan support-.
Call your congressional delegation and let them know that 230 must be protected.

When I was little we had a copy of Milton Bradley’s game MEMORY from the late 60s or early 70s.
This reminds me of some of my favorite tiles from that game.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Please, please, please, don’t try to engage your Black coworkers in “organic dialogue” about their struggles. That’s a fucking nightmare.
I'm pretty sure I'm right. Most folks learn about other people's struggles through organic dialogue entered into willingly and with trust, and are quite fairly distrustful and offended when their bosses demand such vulnerability at work -- doubly so when they farm it out to contract lecturers
That’s wild cause Black people were just trying to go to work without dealing with racism, sorry you had to endure that tho

You can’t reform ICE or CBP now. They’re fundamentally corrupted.
He should be talking about unwinding DHS and tearing CBP and ICE apart and reconstituting a sane, properly run immigration agency.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders.
Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.
