@notalawyer.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social Have you guys looked at parenting advice books? I was recommended Siblings Without Rivalry before baby #2 comes and parts of it are unhinged. It’s wild to read one of these books after hearing so many of your @ifbookspod.bsky.social episodes.
this thread is so long that it breaks the bluesky mobile app. my phone nearly overheated trying to render it
Arnaldo Echevarria, 40, an ICE Deportation Officer from Somerset, NJ, was sentenced in Oct 2017 to 84 months in prison for shaking down undocumented refugees for bribes in the form of cash and sexual favors. He preyed on vulnerable women and demanded sex in return for falsifying immigration records.

The media should stop calling the response to ICE in Mpls and LA “protests.” They are defense. They are protections. They are survival. They are how we push back against a criminal, militarized, fascist army storming into our communities and disappearing people. They are a fight for our future.
I think we are great risk of a future where unregulated use of tech turns America’s educational system into something even more segregated and classist than it is today - poor kids get largely automated “education” and surveillance discipline, rich kids get gentle low-tech instruction from humans.
I went to a private Waldorf high school in the 2000s that was filled with the children of tech professionals - who explicitly wanted a lower-tech education for them. Many tech execs believe in careful exposure to tech for their kids, while also thinking AI teaching is fine for the great unwashed.
Contrary to what the major media outlets are reporting, there are some billion $$$ corporations who are standing up against the GOP's anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) rhetoric. This information is vital to know, as we hold power to push back on ideologies that we disagree w/as Americans.
✅ NEW by me: Apple and Costco are not alone in taking a strong stand on diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI). The list of corporate giants pushing back on the 'anti-woke' #DEI backlash is growing in 2025. www.thequeenzone.com/dei-isnt-dyi... via @thequeenzone.bsky.social
TV seasons should be 22 episodes long with no commercials, made by cable auteurs who get network money but work reasonable hours & there should be a legally obligated Halloween episode with a sexy misunderstanding
