I wish sweet Liam nothing but love, comfort, safety and justice for the rest of his life.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.
"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Meet the gribble. These tiny pill-bug relatives live in the ocean and nosh on wood and plant debris. They were Enemy #1 during the days of wooden ships (along with shipworms), but have since faded into peaceful obscurity.
Like the gribbles of yore, may your future be filled with uneventful days.

Gosh, Rachel! You're such a Luddite. Why aren't you embracing AI as the powerful learning tool that it is?
A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

The difference between me and a booster is that I played around with LLMs when they first became a thing, and spent a lot of time learning about them before I decided to boycott them entirely.
Whereas boosters did not ever take the time to get good at art, writing, or thinking with their brains.

Forever jail for every ICE pervert is the moderate position.
“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

"But we are on a slide into full-blown authoritarianism, what if your ICE Watch group which is legal now gets targeted by a death squad in six months?"
I have some thoughts on this question.

The formula here is a lot simpler than finding an old hippie.
If you want to organize ICE Watch or grocery distributions, Signal is fine.
If you want to organize the kind of thing where even discussing it is a crime, in person only, in extremely small groups where you trust every single person.

I think it is *incredibly* irresponsible for someone like @stonekettle.bsky.social, with a huge following, to claim that Signal is just as insecure as texts or other public social media.
This is a classic “making perfect the enemy of the good” error.

My cancelable take on Sorcerer Twitter is that we need to stop calling it "The Art."
Sure, I love poetry, but the TikTok generation doesn't realize just how much of it is chemistry and engineering, to say nothing of contract negotiation.

There are rumors that ICE is dropping off people barefoot or even nude in the woods.
I just want to remind people that these tactics aren’t new or from 1940’s Europe.
Ask any indigenous people. It might be new to you, but they’ve been in this fight for centuries.

Logistics always baffle fascists. They overpay for printed signs, see our handmade signs, and because they devalue arts, think that we paid for them. They don't understand that feeding people and keeping them warm is just what we *do*.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
Tho I will say, in his defense, he's not the first person to be confused by how quickly the romance authors & readers can whip up finely tuned logistics out of nothing. 😂
