ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aidsβ€”and wouldn't let him have them back Rep. Eric Swalwell is working to help the family seek humanitarian parole.

β€œThink about that for a moment: a six-year-old child with a disability suddenly in a different country, separated from the country he has come to know, now surrounded by silence. The horror stories from this White House continue from ICE.”

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

β€œI feel like I’m grieving my mother” Damaris Bello’s mother attended a green card interviewβ€”and was deported less than 24 hours later.

Last month, 22-year-old Damaris Bello’s mother attended a green card interviewβ€”and was deported less than 24 hours later.

Before the officers could handcuff her, Maria Estrada Juarez asked if she could hug her daughter one last time.

β€œAs corny as it sounds, one of the best ways to protect your voting rights is to become as informed a voter as possible. […] don’t rely solely on state sources like votetexas.org and instead seek out resources published by your local county government […] and help your friends to do the same.”

US used 'Claude' to strike over 1000 targets in first 24 hours of war Despite a spat and Pentagon ban, Anthropic’s β€˜AI is being used in the kill chain while Hegseth says β€˜no stupid rules of engagement’

The β€œUS military leveraged its AI targeting toolsβ€”which still employ Claudeβ€”to strike over 1K targets in Iran during the first 24 hours of the now rapidly expanding war.

I maintain that "relatability" is one of the worst things to happen to creative writing and it must be combated

Americans aren't alone in refusing vaccines. Many countries have had massive measles outbreaks in recent years. Go look at how many countries have fallen off the measle-free list this year alone. And there's a direct line from current US anti-vaxxers to Andrew Wakefield who was in the UK.

If I were going to reboot a show it would be Space Above and Beyond.

It was a show before its time. And I think a show that centers on what happens when genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and space colonization goes wrong is especially right for the moment.
