A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Ok I saw a really dumb post saying that interlibrary loan is only for "serious researchers" and as an ILL librarian I just want to say that this is bullshit. ILL is a case of "my library does not have the book/article/movie I want, does someone else have it? yes? Great!"
Use ILL, thanks

The risks of SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens can be severe, but the media continues to stigmatize Olympians taking precautions as "worried" and "extreme". We know #LongCOVID can affect anyone, even elite athletes.

Thanks! Thats the impression I’ve gotten from other friends, too! I’m planning on giving them a week or so to recover from the discord news slam of interest and then creating an account and bopping around a bit to kick the tires.

If you are geekily inclined, ReedPOP (whose parent company is named as having connections to ICE) is also the event organizer behind all the PAX shows, Star Wars Celebration, NYCC, Chicago Comicon, and Emerald City Comicon; read this thread to see what action you can take to voice your opposition.
Kinda feels important to know that ReedPOP's parent company has ties to ICE. There's some things we can do in the comics community to make our voices heard. 1/3

She's right. The gradual closing of the internet with "save the children" as a wedge issue is progressing and will only serve authoritarians.
We need more political organization around these issues - not just targeting Discord, but targeting the governments that encourage and enable this behaviour.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

I think the other reason the ID push pisses me off is I also want children to be safe, and I am simply not at all convinced making the internet a panopticon achieves that goal
particularly when I look at who stands to profit from the panopticon implementation and why else they're in the news...
