We actually don't have to accept medical advice from a leatherfaced man with a brain worm whose family lobotomized his aunt for what may well have been garden variety neurodivergence.
Raised in the East Bay and I say HELL YEAH. These kids are rad.
“Across the East Bay, about a dozen high schools held walkouts to protest protesting federal immigration enforcement activities across the country.” abc7news.com/post/thousan...
Thousands of East Bay high school students walk out to protest ICE enforcement
Students chanted. They carried signs. Signs that read: "No ICE!" "No human is illegal." And, "Immigrants built this country."

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Believing Jesus would support the violent expulsion of migrants is the definition of "using the Lord's name in vain."

We can call people in with grace. This does not mean washing over bad choices (or even bad takes)! But it does mean that your satisfaction in being right is not a substitute for, like... action.

This cannot be accepted. This is a bullshit move to try and keep the status of the occupation basically unchanged but try and play it off as a compromise
With the immediate removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan put the total number of agents remaining in the state at approximately 2,000.
That’s still a dramatic increase from the normal immigration and enforcement staffing in Minnesota of around 150 agents.

"under my leadership, our newspaper has lost readers and subscribers at record rates. this shows that I was correct about what was wrong with the newspaper."
Notable bits from this email:
- WaPo search has declined by half in three years
- Daily story output has "substantially fallen" in the last five years
- Murray argues: "we too often write from one perspective, for one slice of the audience."

Most of y'all know The Post as a national voice, but this is also my folks' hometown paper and watching Bezos feed it to a woodchipper hurts, damnit!
before Bezos bought it, the Washington Post made a strategic decision it wasn’t for the people of Washington, D.C. The metro desk was cut. The sports desk was tilted towards national. The erasure of the value of the residents of the city it was supposed to serve was insulting and a losing strategy.

Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.
