Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York.

Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️
How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women

it's either he died or Israel is going to do something really fucking stupid
In addition I think it's because he's not been seen for a few hours, hasn't tweeted in a few hours, and, for me, the pizza intelligence is blowing up:

Just finished reading this. A quick read, but still depressing because many of the points Snyder makes are ones we need to be doing now.

This is how the world views the US.

Sang Shin absolutely nails the crux of the issue of the USA being the aggressor in a trade war:

Just like DeepSeek your opponent is going to find ways to circumvent your brute force and become more nimble, more resourceful, and eventually more effective than you.

It's an outright losing strategy.

They know that the executive orders, particularly around trans health care, will be challenged. The point is to shock and awe. The point is to get as many organizations, businesses, and people to pre-comply as they can.
