We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Anyone else who thinks about seduction novels for a living want to start a support group on Zoom? I’m losing my mind over here.
Obviously not the most, ah, memorable thing about this graf, but...she READ Callahan? And still decided to blow up her career to send nudes etc. in response to a crank septuagenarian failson sending her the worst erotic poetry ever written?

Trump is the most transparent & easily manipulated person ever. I think the reason Mamdani can do this so much better than any other leader is that Mamdani has no stake in the dirty system as it is and can genuinely strategize from there, rather than always trying to keep his own secrets/territory.
Mamdani is playing him like a fiddle, it's absolutely incredible.

I imagine she might respond differently if one of these reporters told her to shut up and called her "piggy." I mean, in the name of frankness and honesty, of course.
Reporter: What did the president mean when he called the reporter piggy?
Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration

I realize I’m late to this idea, but Grok is the tip of the sword in terms of identity-based AIs, right? Eventually every group will have or have access to its “own” AIs that create their own bubbles and carry on the culture wars?

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
