Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

I've got a bad feeling about the upcoming flu season, given the fact that there are a bunch of subtypes at this party with the potential to wreak varying amounts of havoc. So I broke it all down here.

I think there's some sick shit going on when ICE shows up at a taqueria when there's plenty of fucking McDonalds around.
They have that layer of sadistic contempt beyond NPC, they want to see people squirm.
While, I guess, drinking a cup worth of spit.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

At work, we are seeing a STEEP decline in vaccinations for Latino children.
Many of these children receive those vaccines at school sites and mobile clinics at school.
That likely means that Latino parents just arent sending their kids to school at ALL for fear of ICE.

No idea if any of this is illegal but I would certainly hope that evidence he preyed on women by holding their careers hostage would make @harvard.edu reluctant to employ him in any form of contact with students. Fire him. Women told you about him back when he said we weren't smart enough.

theres a whole bunch of cultures that don't do rings to mark marriage but do do necklaces for the purpose, so do only Christians get to keep wedding jewelry or
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Yglesias (and others like him) almost always argue something that boils down to: "Sure, tacking to the right isn't working for Labour right now. And it consistently hasn't worked here, either, and there's no real reason to think it will.
But what if it did work, huh? What then?"
