ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office β€” a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

SURJ has been an op against Democrats at least since Nov 2024. I attended one of their calls after the election & they placed all the "blame" for the result on "The Democratic Party."

Despite their name, I got the distinct impression that they're all down for white supremacy.

It's like the 70th most important piece of this, but the reporting basically confirms that there was never any evidence whatsoever that Claude had anything to do with it, and therefore that that leak was solely designed to punish Anthropic for *not* letting the DoD use it for shit like this

Huh, at the grocery store checkout, the cover of US Weekly was all about Andrew, Fergie, and the Epstein Files. This is… not going away!

I just keep coming back around to, "there is a reason that no previous president did this foolish thing and it was not because they were weak, woke cowards, but because they could read a cost-benefit analysis."

It could be 50Β° in winter and I'll be scowling and drinking hot chocolate; and it could be 50Β° in spring and I'll be smiling and throwing open the windows even though I'm half freezing to death. Winter chill is just different from spring chill, I can't explain it.

It's funny, I was listening to the DEATH SEX & MONEY episode about LLMs and it occurred to me that talking with an LLM all day (as many do) is irrelevant to me **because** I have these brain-meld text threads with the people I love most (minus my non-texting parents). What would an LLM add to that??

I FOUND IT, whichever one of you sent your luck to me over the interwebs, I salute you (seriously I've been looking for days and it's such a relief to have it in my hands again)

Guys I have misplaced an interlibrary loan book and I am genuinely terrified what happens next. Hivemind, where would you be hiding if you were my library book???

We have just been opening the windows this week, but yeah, I remember living in the dorms where it was a whole thing to switch between heating and cooling, and sleeping in every piece of clothing I had during a May cold snap

I legitimately cried while watching my 9yo get booted up on this game. Every 'mon you run into is sad, confused, missing humanity, and without a place to live.

Per Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, infanticide (pre-contraception) was way more part of the equation than abortion in pretty much every culture.

We should take people who say these things seriously and take their ideas seriously. This is actual no-shit eugenics if taken seriously. The implicit claim here is that things like MRI machines or pharmaceutical medications were a mistake. In the age of HHS Sec RFK Jr it’s not just harmless granola.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

"USAID bad" is antivax logic by another name. "Sure, lives get saved or whatever, but then people won't properly hate America the way they should" is the campist equivalent of "I'd rather have my kids dead than autistic"

there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

The people making fun of "warfighter" as a word just like… haven't spent much time in Defenseland? This is a totally normal word there that dates back as far as I can remember (and I can remember back a while).

It’s true that vaccine access could be improved but these challenges haven’t significantly worsened over the last 10 years. Vaccine hesitancy has.

The problem is misinformation and public health researchers pretending otherwise is not helping.

At the end of the day, all of the historical β€œwe were here first” arguments are irrelevant. They’re all there NOW, and none of themβ€”neither Israeli Jews, Israeli non-Jews, WB Palestinians nor Gaza Palestiniansβ€”have any intention of leaving the region en masse.

This is not really a thing that, if it continues, has a quick "undo" button, either.
