This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

"Mauricio" shares, "I work in the strawberries. During the month of February, this difficult work became even harder. The mud made everything slow down as we could barely push our carts. Plus hours were cut because of weather and I couldn't earn enough to pay bills." #WeFeedYou

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

You can call your Senators, too.

Find them here: reps.fyi

Goodbye and good riddance.

But don’t take the bait. Firing Noem alone won’t halt Trump’s campaign of terror.

The atrocities happening by ICE behind the walls of detention facilities and in broad daylight have proven that ICE cannot be reformed.

Abolish ICE NOW.

TIL the arctic/antarctic bears/no bears thing is about visibility of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major not about polar bears and this makes so so much more sense to me

NYC Mayor Mamdani apologizes for excluding Black Americans in previous β€˜city built by immigrants’ comments The New York City mayor said, β€œWe have to tell the full story,” which includes the contributions of Black New

If you're touting the Mamdani coalition today, please learn from what Mamdani did after he lost the Black vote in the NYC primary.

He didn't blame Black voters or discount them. He courted the Black vote, showed up, *apologized when he messed up.*

That's a way forward.

People do realize that positioning any serious topic as a distraction from a different serious topic is you just saying you don't want other people talking about anything other than what you want to talk about, right.

YOU have to save the planet by recycling not corporations should be responsible for the waste their products generate.

this whole mindset is just so firmly baked into our system because it protects the system

Wondermark comic that gave rise to the term β€œsealioning,” defined by Wikipedia as β€œa type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.”

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

The epistemic structure Evan points to here is really important, and more and more pervasive. It's the same one at work in Anti-Vax stuff and seems to be animating all kinds of moral panics. There's a kind of metastasizing biopoltical phantasmatic that's at the core of the new fascism.

This is like one of those Freddy vs Jason vs Chucky vs Alien movies…you don’t want any of them to win, but you can still applaud a particularly good hit.

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.

It's the latter kind of bravery we most need -- the kind that prevents horrors from happening in the first place. The kind that doesn't get you parades, it gets you sneers & snide remarks. The kind that's dreary & unrewarding.

So, ok, you have the bravery to stand up to a line of tanks, to risk your physical body.

But do you have the bravery to stand up to social media pressure? To risk your reputation as a savvy insider? To stand up for unpopular groups? To *care* when caring is cringe?
