In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

You can say ICE is being used as a political cudgel to demolish democracy, or you can recognize that’s all they ever have been since their inception.
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) publicly announced she has referred the state’s grassroots referendum campaign to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming without evidence that canvassers are “employing illegal aliens” to collect signatures to overturn the mid-decade redraw.

Zohran won for a lot of reasons but I think a really huge one is he actually likes NYC. Conservatives and liberals both act like I live in a war zone instead of the coolest place on the planet. But Zohran told the truth: that living in a city, but especially this city, just fuckin rocks.

Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

16% of graduates students in STEM fields in the US are Chinese nationals.
If we cut funding from any professor who has been the graduate advisor of a Chinese student in the last 5 years RETROACTIVELY, research in the US will grind to a halt.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

The US-sponsored framework of "ceasefire" agreements with Israel is predicated upon one theme: the Arabs cease, and Israel still fires.
Sooner or later, this investment in being Israel's lawyer and arms dealer will become verboten in the domestic sense, and what will Israel do if Arabs respond?

The real angle is that it’s draining money and resources when SNAP is gonna end. Anyone that supports Trump does not care about the sanctity of it as a symbol and anyone that already hates Trump is in the same position they were
Leftists saying the White House thing doesn’t matter are demonstrating the classic leftist misunderstanding of symbols and the role emotion plays in politics. Sometimes they can be as tone deaf as dumb centrist liberals.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.
