Do I love anyone more than my nail tech, Iulia aka Juli aka The Silver Russian, or my hairdresser, Amber aka Ambs aka Sweet Scissors? Barely.

I had a student who wrote a paper about psychotherapy with an ogre & the importance of respecting cultural norms. One of the best student papers I've ever read.
Looking for some advice: my friend is bringing his new girlfriend over for dinner, we haven’t met her yet or know much about her except that she’s a Shrek. Just want to learn more about what’s normal in their culture so we can make her feel welcome and make a good first impression

Want to be very clear Spencer’s claim is not just false. It’s a Y as it’s very well known and certain circles of the academic and research community even if not more broadly that CECOT is an active death camp. And we are sending people there every week including citizens. bsky.app/profile/gabe...
If anyone is interested...
I bylined a piece for the Lemkin Institute regarding the mass graves imaged by satellite on CECOT grounds.
This is a functioning death camp that we are still sending humans to.
We must not look away from this.

While I am here: there is much to despair about in our present moment, but the fact that Stephen Miller keeps trying *and failing* to use the vast power of the state to spark localized pogroms against minority groups speaks well of us.

It’s midnight in America.
Today, fewer men and women will go to work than a year ago, as jobs disappear despite record corporate profits. With interest rates still punishingly high and homes bought up by Wall Street, fewer families will buy new homes, and many will stop trying altogether.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Delete Spotify
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

100%. If you want an alternative slogan you can go with "Abolish ICE before they kill again."
the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency.
Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.

If there are *any* Democrats in Congress who will still vote to keep funding this administration when it is using that money to terrorize our cities and refusing to allow congressional representatives their clear right to observe their activities, then those reps need to be primaried into retirement
I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
