And that is how you drive down your popularity numbers, even on your true believers and give people reason to defect as you continue your Steven Miller fanfic adventure
Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

The Republican has majority stole $1 billion from the District of Columbia, preventing the mayor, the city Council, and citizens from benefiting from the revenue, derived from local taxes.
DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings

I’ll give you a tragic and cursed idea: Ryan Murphy’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman” (2029) starring Darren Kris, among others.
It is his most brave and bold political statement since making “Hollywood” for @netflix.com

Not everyone can confront ICE and face death, but many, many, many ordinary folks can become Ribbity frogs and harry the flanks of a corporate.
Among many other protests against ICE today, sit-ins at Target stores were held nationwide this afternoon, calling on the corporation to "stop collaborating with ICE."
Protesters with signs sang songs & chanted softly as customers passed by.
This video is from the downtown Target in Minneapolis.

On the one hand, I agree with pretty much everything. Linda says it in this thread and want to think about it more carefully.
On the other hand, one of the problems with the Atlantic’s pattern of the last decade make any reporting it does on college students to be in presumptive bad faith at best

You know, yes, this is media diet and Netflix and whatever. But part of college — part of study in general — is understanding that not everything is *entertaining* all the time. And part of that is deciding you care about learning things! (1/2)
On a trend us film professors have seen. Free link to “The Film Students Who Can No Longer Sit Through Films” from THE ATLANTIC yesterday.

Reading the Epstein file emails and thinking about all the code words and subtle signals that gay men and lesbians had to use for generations to find each other because being gay was illegal. If only they'd all been billionaires.

Five years have passed since Myanmar’s military staged a coup against the government.
Since February 1, 2021, the junta has decimated almost every facet of life in Myanmar.
