The entire article is just vaguely sourced anecdotes from social media. "Doctors have been cast as bigots" OK by whom, how so, why does this matter? The only "expert" cited is another columnist for the same fucking newspaper.

Normal people: “woke is when you’re aware of systemic injustices.” Centrists: “ugh these people care about all these different things with nothing in common other than that they exist because of systemic injustices!”

Today in @thenation.com: a harrowing piece written from inside the Dilley ICE detention center by Maryam Tahmasebi, a green card holder who's been locked up along with her husband and son for months despite none of them committing any crime. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

One Woman’s Message From the Hell of ICE Detention

My husband, son, and I have been locked up for months—despite being permanent residents with no criminal record. It is an unendurable, unending nightmare.

Glad she is out, but the fact that she was detained for 7 days is horrific. For no reason whatsoever. This happens to plenty of people who don't get this level of protest and support from unions and their US Reps. Abolish ICE

8/6 BREAKING NEWS: Maine Med nurse Debora Kapisha, an asylum-seeker from Zambia legally permitted to live and work in the country, was released from ICE custody on Thursday afternoon according to U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree and the Maine State Nurses Association. #maine #MEpolitics

Psychotic abuser logic. For anyone who’s dealt with a sociopathic narcissist, this is chilling. Not beating the allegations, buddy.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

“Hassle is regressive” Excellent articulation of poverty traps.

Means-tested programs like SNAP are shaped not just by benefit levels, but by hassle. And hassle is regressive: it hits hardest when you lack a car, flexibility, cash, or time.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/how-snaps-new-rules-make-eligible

A lot of people are into refurbishing these days. But I’m still mad about the person who didn’t furbish it correctly the first time.

I just learned who this guy "Anthony Fauci" is, and I don't get why people are so mad. I'm sorry that the gyms were closed during covid19, and you got a "Fauch pouch" you still haven't worked off. But it's been 6 years, you've had enough time to fix your diet and exercise, it's time to move on.

honestly fair. Not my first choice, but I'll take more auchinclosses over whatever weirdos are out there in those big empty states.

My toxic trait is that I think everyone in pharma commercials has a better life than me. They are playing outside and smiling! What drug is that, and how do I get it?

Women on dating sites say they want a partner in crime, and a man who plans things. Yet whenever I suggest a few get-to-know-you light misdemeanors, I get blocked!

Wow they got Burna Boy to do the halftime show. That’s really hard to do! Even his agent can’t reach him most of the time since he changes his phone number so often.

I’m hearing the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie is going to take a dark turn for the franchise. Chipwrecked will be loosely based on Society of the Snow. Too soon to talk Oscars 2028?

Rich people are weirdos.

‘On Friday, after 65 bids, one of Huang’s pre-worn and signed jackets sold at auction at Sotheby’s for $960,000, much higher than the pre-sale estimate of $40,000 to $60,000. He wore the jacket in 2023, at an event at Foxconn in Taipei, Taiwan.’ www.cnbc.com/2026/07/17/l...

Whatever the problem is the answer is never going to be more cops. Not homelessness, not driving laws, not public intoxication (the one kind that is bad), not solving crimes or even stopping them. The only problems cops solve is too many people alive and outside of prison.

The tv show Silo is very bad in S3. They took away all the character struggle & human drama in place of the convoluted mystery that is hard to follow, and then they drop in the AI overload to do ridiculous exposition about the evil plan.

Absolutely brain dead policies. A little imposter syndrome for this guy would save lives. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/u...

I thought this was a joke but no, the Secretary of Mid-Life Crises really is promoting this idea. Probably waiting until after the midterms to mandate that the warfighters expose their taints to the sunshine or whatever.

ICE should be abolished. This is all intentional. While Alejandro Mayorkas was in charge of homeland security, agents committed plenty of abuses, but did not regularly murder people.

Ed Markey@edmarkey.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This is footage of ICE handcuffing a 26 year old father after murdering him in broad daylight. We cannot look away. Abolish ICE. Abolish qualified immunity. Hold these murderous thugs accountable.

OMG. The entire movie is a completely unsubtle satire of working class struggle and the inability to see the oligarchy. Missing that is even dumber than seeing Tony Soprano and Walter White as decent guys trying to do right by their families, and not sociopaths.

Met a guy who thought THEY LIVE was pro-Reagan. You can't try to anticipate common denominators that low or you just end up making sitcoms.

I must once again say it: If you want to live in a shitty state that has shitty public services and low/no income taxes, there is a large menu of options for you to choose from. Do not try to turn Massachusetts into one of those states. Goodbye

Once more, the point of having military guards in full dress at the White House Nitro Circus sponsored by Black Rifle Coffee Company isn’t that this all presents a coherent vision of America. It’s a show of dominance, of publicly degrading our symbols and institutions to proclaim that they own them.

Is this the Cooter County Junior Fair?

I am begging people to realize that police do not use this technology is not a "jumping off point" or an "investigative lead"--the computer spits out a name and police arrest that person without follow up. How many people have to spend months in jail "by accident" before we consider the danger?

A Flock license plate reader linked a San Diego man to a violent crime. He was five miles away.

A San Diego man spent one month in jail for a crime he didn't commit, after San Diego Police misinterpreted a hit from a license plate reader.

What if they just made an entire guy out of red flags?
