I don’t think federal officers should fire flashbang grenades and tear gas canisters into a car that has children in it, causing a baby to stop breathing and sending kids to the hospital. I think that’s bad, not good.
Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Yet another example of how the New York Times strives for the most neutral language possible--and in doing so presents a skewed picture of reality. "The Party was at odds with the rules of math when it suggested two plus two equals five."
At odds, you can say it … because Noem is lying as ICE murders US citizens.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.
Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.
Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Keeping the social safety net as small and as punitive as possible helps to ensure that there will always be a steady stream of people for employers like Bezos to exploit--people in such a precarious position that have no choice but to take whatever underpaid, overworked job they can get.
No. No. No.
Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy.
Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.

I actually think it's time to bring back the approach of curated lists and webrings from the early web again. Huge opportunity space for hand curation of information
In an age where AI slop websites have made entire categories of information difficult to find, what we need is Yahoo (or Dmoz): a human-curated list of reliable websites, organized by topic.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

🧵ICE cut off her wedding ring.
Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old US citizen, a grandmother, 5’4’, and white.
She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby.
She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.
