In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.

All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

This is hauntingly beautiful. It's also heartbreaking and infuriating, utterly enraging. Fuck cancer and fuck the cancer that is this administration and its utterly cruel stupidity.

This is really something. Important reporting work and definitely worth a few minutes.
1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.

And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

If you don't let your theater kid do theater they turn into fascists. That's what I've learned this decade.

It cannot be emphasized enough that RFK, Jr. and the Trump administration believe that dying is preferable to being autistic. Kids will get sick and die. And autistic kids will face even more bullying and stigma as a result of what these eugenicist assholes are doing.

I’m losing my edge, the kids all wave to me in the hallway now and today i told one i was working at remembering names because I’m not the best, and they replied “no, you are the best” 🥲

Reporter to Trump: Would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani mayoralty?

Trump: "I would. I really would. Especially after the meeting, absolutely."

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

I beat hades 2! It felt a lot longer than hades, and the 2 routes were so annoying when trying to win, but are okay when you get the hang of it. It does feel like the resources are a bit weirdly distributed, like i didn’t have enough when i really needed them and now i have nothing to do with it all

Don’t worry, i have the “crying because no one understands the truth of infectious diseases spreading unchecked in children and a private equity firm owns the patent for iron lungs, which are much gentler and more effective for those affected by polio than positive pressure ventilation”

I do think people have had feelings for me, but i do not think that any of those feelings would survive being translated into real life.

Women accidentally becoming hardline bioessentialists because they’ve bought propaganda about the phases of their cycle affecting them like they’re emotional werewolves will BE my last straw

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

I think a lot more people need to internalise that if their theology is oppressing one group, it’s probably oppressing many.

The problem i am discovering is that being neither woman nor man but also a bit of both, and on the ace spectrum is that i mostly feel like no one could ever love me

I think i am tired of deconstructing Christians entering progressive Christian spaces and then acting like they’re being persecuted because the people in those spaces hold progressive ideals
