Now that TikTok has changed ownership in the U.S., it's as good a time as ever to again say how much I truly hate algospeak euphemisms like "unalived" and whatnot. I wish people would knock that off.

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: Should ICE continue to exist in any form?
@rokhanna.bsky.social: No. And that should be the answer across the Democratic Party.
It is a rogue agency killing American citizens. Tear it down.

I spoke with two seasoned nutrition researchers about RFK Jr.’s anticipated recommendation. While they had different views on how harmful saturated fats are, they both agreed that simply upping consumption is a bad idea, and that dietary guidance should focus on foods, not nutrients. My latest.
