The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee MAGA law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.

26-employee Texas law firm gets $150M to represent 24,000 children in immigration court

None of the Burke Law Group’s lawyers list immigration law as an area of expertise, per the firm’s website.

Me: Alright I've got to stay focused let's stay on these projects. *two hours later* "Okay so now if I wanted to make my own icons I need to get these color pallet such that it is distinguishable at a distance." Is this what @mostlybree.kitrocha.com feels like?

NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections

Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 15h ago

NEW: Missouri voters have rejected Amendment 4, which Republicans had passed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments effectively impossible. It would have required initiatives to pass in every congressional district—not just statewide—giving the overwhelmingly red districts a veto

I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.

Susanna Kearsley@susannakearsley.bsky.social · 23h ago

❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”

Romancelandia is a fractious community with more grudges and feuds than most people could dream. And during @romancingthevote.com everyone sort of agrees to put down the weapons and do This Thing together for a greater cause, because community is bigger than who we want to hang out with.

Very nervous about tomorrow’s blog on Patreon so have some out of context quotes from it as a treat 💜

while there are problems with anything, the nuclear block is absolutely my second favorite thing that bluesky did. (my first favorite is detach quote, which is another thing that wrecks the way they like to use social media)

Micah@rincewind.run · 2d ago

there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly

Add me to the list of people whose inflammatory issues were sent into overdrive by covid. I think there are a LOT OF US, and the more they attack covid vaccines & cautionary measures, the more folks are rolling the dice on the horrifying long covid complications that almost killed me.

Julia Métraux@juliametraux.bsky.social · 2d ago

Inflammatory disorders can be brutal. I’d know personally (thanks vasculitis et al). But the misinformation, including on vaccines, is dangerous. A deep dive from me into how MAHA sped up the inflammation panic. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Alabama teachers got like 2 months at home and were sent back to school in fall 2020 and the reason I almost died (and actually had to get okay with probably dying) was because it was incredibly hard to mitigate the risks of being married to a teacher while I had a vulnerable immune system.

Aaron Huertas@aaronhuertas.bsky.social · 4d ago

When pressed on how to keep schools open, Nate Silver suggested hazard pay but couldn't seem to figure out what happens when you run out of people who are willing to get sick and possibly die at work. So much punditry really boils down to a guy going "oh no not like that."

Bree (half of Kit Rocha)@mostlybree.kitrocha.com · 4d ago

I have zero opinions about who should be the 2028 nominee at this point (you have to finish your 2026 midterm before you can have dessert) but I am all for normalizing the idea that the fight needs to be about how many seats we're adding to SCOTUS and what channel we air the corruption trials on

geoffrey@parsnip.bsky.social · 4d ago

whatever you think of harris's chances of regaining the nomination man this is a deeply welcome early stake to see claimed in the 2028 primary positioning

"“We need to revisit the point of expanding the court to 13 justices like we have 13 district courts,” Harris said at the National Urban League’s annual conference...also calling for a review of the Electoral College and statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, DC." www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...

Mo Ryan@moryan.bsky.social · 4d ago

Today in "Mo is using the Battlestar Galactica book to Yell About Some Stuff," an excerpt from the work in progress below. Am I still fucking annoyed at how annoying some people were in the Watcher comment sections during BSG's final season? No idea what you're talking about, hmm, will ponder:

understood the anticipatory grief about the show ending, and wanting more of some things and less of others. But to say that the characters on the show about people confronting emotional and existential crises in space should not have a lot of big emotions near the end of the story… that was, in a word, silly. And Moore has always disliked the attempts to turn “soap opera” into an insult. “I always hate that comment. Not just about the final season, but I hate when people say anything that’s a really character-focused or about relationships is ‘just a soap opera,’” Moore said. “Soap operas are a legitimate form in and of themselves. They’ve been for around for a very long time, and people love them.” They do, but the core viewers of the traditional daytime soap operas were typically women. Any time anything is coded as female, certain terms get turned into slurs, including “romance novel,” “soap opera,” “melodrama” and so on. Using words like that as insults is not only about sexism, but there were times I had to turn comments off because the misogyny and abusive language in those comment sections were off the charts. Also, in decades of covering the industry, I’ve found those who throw around the “soap” term usually mean one of two things: “This is about people’s feelings in a way that makes me uncomfortable,” and/or “too many women are talking in this.”
