With no warning, ICE has detained Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts. No reason has yet been provided for the detainment.

Roberts is a native of Guyana and a former Olympic Athlete, and by all accounts is a well-regarded member of the Des Moines community.

"It was rude and it was very uncouth and there was no compassion... We should call her out and maybe refer to her as 'Joni Hearse' from here on out."

Iowans aren't holding back, calling Joni Ernst out for her heartless defense of GOP cuts to Medicaid. #IASen

From @sarahkendzior.bsky.social "Disregard stereotypes", "see things for yourself", advice to overcome the 'rage and resentment' that is portrayed on social media/MSM. Is the 'freedom' to explore and discover being impacted by the actions of the current administration? #CommunityBuilding

From Bluesky to the Guardian!

In my new op-Ed, I argue that the “male glaze” of media and politics is empirically, normative, and politically wrong and that progressives should focus more on the left turn of young women.
