This is, almost unbelievably, followed up with a possibly even dumber story about Patel’s people vigorously arguing with British intelligence to try to get them to okay him tweeting a photo that was taken at Windsor Castle with a bunch of spooks whose jobs are state secrets.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.
They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil
Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

this is some fox's book of martyrs shit. jesus christ.
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Is it because China will not literally eat Canada up? Like Trump wants to soften it because it's an idiom? It's such a huge part of his writing and I feel like the public still has no explanation

I have seen Trump constructing tweets, I'm almost certain he just dictates them to an assistant. So how then do the scare quotes get decided upon. Who's looking at the words "eat them up" and deciding they demand scare quotes

I would like to gently request that AI pharmacy bots stop trying to kill my mother
Recently, I got a notice from my new pharmacy provider that they wouldn’t cover my thyroid medication and bizarrely suggested insulin instead! I need my thyroid medication. Then a couple of days ago, they called and told me to disregard the letter they had sent. AI is such a time and labor saver!

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.
I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.
"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."
