How to survive this, part 3: Prioritize emotional health.
✅ Schedule in-person visits with local friends regularly
✅ Physical exercise 4x weekly for stress management — going to the gym also gets me out of my house (I WFH and have agoraphobic tendencies, so this helps manage my depressive impulses)

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

So the student complained about a teacher who was too hard and the University of Oklahoma sides with the student?
Look, if you think customer service is the point of teaching, then just sell diplomas and spare the rest of us the song and dance about your values.

A transgender instructor at the University of Oklahoma has been placed on administrative leave after giving a student a zero on an psychology essay that asserted gender roles were biblically ordained and called gender nonconfirmity “demonic." https://bit.ly/4rvZuuu

The sheer effort of laying out everything wrong w/ this argument *&* the fact that it's meaningless to even do so unless & until the full force of the law is levied at these people who are themselves the literal enforcement arm of the law is further evidence that we are all dead & this is superhell.
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?
