"So many of the platforms that have come to dominate our daily lives were born out of the simple desire to see women exposed. Objectification isn’t a bug; it’s a feature." excellent piece from @sophiegilbert.bsky.social:

Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

my favorite part of this nice video of a man yelling incredible insults at ICE nazis is when he calls one “soup sandwich”

reviewed The Rip, which feels like one of those great movies that'd play incessently on cable for a stretch there, and the entire time you'd wonder, "Did this actually come out in theatres?" and the correct answer is just, "Who cares?"

When it ends, you'll be desperate for a sequel (or three).

On the right's diehard belief in finding a switch they can flip that will make everyone hateful, Gamergate, and why the vibes aren't shifting.

these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years.

this year i'm once again supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, whose work is tragically as vital as ever. please consider giving if you can!

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

having said myself that people don't need to watch the video, here's my colleague Susan Matthews making a strong case that, yes you do (she also describes it well enough that I feel okay ignoring her instruction)
Yes, You Should Watch the Video of the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
You can just watch the video.

AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA, NO, GROK CANNOT “APOLOGIZE” or “ACKNOWLEDGE” ANYTHING
We are seeing world events like the kidnapping of Maduro through the lens of the most depraved AI you can imagine. And if you thought the Grok CSAM shitshow was bad, it’s likely getting worse. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

“Call your congressman!” Why? The fuck’s he gonna do? More nothing?

They have no plan for what to do when an insane elected official just does whatever he wants. They keep showing us.

Call your congressman. Mailbox full. Oh he’s out here tweeting. Maybe mail him a copy of SEVEN DAYS IN MAY? Idk
