Banning kids from social media does not work! It harms kids and prevents real solutions that addresses the harms of social media. It's like abstinence only sex education. youtu.be/eaT-aHCZ62s

This is the correct energy against our media overlords

I want to thank @bridgettodd.bsky.social for having me on There Are No Girls on the Internet again this week to cover the Kansas anti-trans license situation... Listen on Spotify or your favorite podcast app

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Enjoyed this episode (@bridgettodd.bsky.social) on the Joyce Carol Oates-Elon Musk beef. I lol'd at comparing JCO & Azealia Banks: two good artists with mostly terrible takes but "when they stumble upon a truth, they really hit that truth and they do not miss." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill. @melbuer.bsky.social reports:

Families of DC-area immigrant drivers snatched by feds stuck with tow bill

Elected officials and activists note work vehicles removed lightning fast, resulting in hundreds in fees.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March. The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org. Details:
