Video of a daycare raid in Chicago went viral last week, showing armed federal agents dragging a teacher from Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center as children watched in terror.
To the families at the daycare, the scene was a show of force that shattered their sense of safety.

Having a very anxiety ridden, overstimulated night and cannot sleep. Which wouldn’t be such an issue except I have a dr. appointment in 6 hours. Which means after I will be dead for the rest of the day.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.

If we as a country cared about disability and therefore healthcare and access, they would not be building AI centers in Black neighborhoods.

Did you ever wonder what you would have done as a citizen in historical times of incredible cruelty: slavery, the holocaust, etc.?
You don't have to wonder anymore! You're doing it!

I called Ossoff about this yday, but I may call again today tbh. He's worried about reelection but he has to know that if he screws this up he's gonna lose us.

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia!
Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare.
If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call!
Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

Teen Vogue changed my life and their politics team was doing incredible journalism comparable to very little other publications. I can't say I'm not disappointed with this decision. Sending y'all love❤️
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

You ever eat a nice warm meal of nice comforting chicken noodle soup but then that cozy sleepy feeling turns into outright fainting because your body decided blood for digestion was more important than blood for brain?

I've always said this, but since last November, I've been pointing this out frequently in whatever venues to whatever audiences I can: "The planet NASA studies most is Earth."
A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

Look. If your partner is regularly laid up with chronic pain or illness, and you say they can’t keep candy in the bedroom because it will attract mice, then I think it’s only fair that you get them a snack when they have the munchies. #wheresmyreesecup #sadness

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.
Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease.
There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done."

My therapist just told me “I feel like we are all collectively in that Edvard Munch ‘The Scream’ painting right now.”
So that’s how it’s going.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.
