I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Perhaps this is embarrassingly naive of me, but one of the major things corroding my sense of self-worth and optimism for the future is just how little doing a good job at anything matters to anyone's success or livelihood anymore. These journalists were crushing it and they were punished for it.

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals
New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

All right, who had this one on their "How will Worldcon fuck up this time" bingo card? Not me.
Next year's WorldCon is in Los Angeles, and the theme appears to be Westward Expansion or possibly Manifest Destiny. The guests are referred to as Pioneers and the venue as The Frontier. This year the awards were swept by Indigenous writers. The choice is stunning in its ugliness.

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker.

Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path.

Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

It is an extraordinary loss of intellectual expertise that the American people invested millions in developing

Every scientist who earns a graduate degree in the US is the product of an investment by the public

This is like setting money on fire

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

RIP to Malcolm Jamal-Warner, who reportedly has died after drowning in Costa Rica at the age of 54.

For many of us, he was the brother we never had on The Cosby Show. He later appeared on shows like The Resident.

He leaves behind a wife and daughter.

This one hurts.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

A complicating factor here is every state administering Medicaid under a unique name. "I'm not on Medicaid, I'm on Medi-Cal / BadgerCare Plus / STAR / etc!" Many people about to discover that they are, in fact, on Medicaid.
As of a couple weeks ago, fewer than one in ten people knew there were Medicaid cuts in this bill.

Folks are in for a very rude surprise.

Watching ICE chase, tackle, and (usually) whisk into a van anyone who looks a certain way is the most literal and visceral reminder possible that policing in the United States has its roots in runaway slave patrols.
ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.

After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.

Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”

Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

For those of us who are disabled or prohibited from protesting for any reason, here are ways we can help.

I can’t take a service dog to a protest, it’s unsafe for him but also for others around us.

I can do some of these.
Here are some tips for ways to “show up” when you aren’t able to show up in person, as well as suggestions for all of us for building more inclusive movements for social justice and human rights.
