The mountains are underwater and fascism is on the rise, so I recommend going ahead and getting that divorce you've been thinking about.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.
“It’s just a horrible, horrible, horrible place,” he said of his detention camp. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

anytime Baylor and sexual assault pops up, I always think about the different women Dan and I talked to, sometimes in their apartments, sometimes in coffee shops, the ones we saw speak publicly about their assaults at a campus event or in court, the ones whose voices shook, the ones who were stoic

Abolish ICE/DHS
"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."
Feds zip-tied a 14-year-old girl during Idaho raid, sparking fresh questions about ICE tactics
A 14-year-old girl said she was "crying" and "struggling to breathe" when law enforcement officers herded her onto a racetrack with other detainees and zip-tied her hands.

Environmentalism isn't out of ideas: it's full of neoliberals who oppose any politics that isn't about free market fundamentalism at every. single. step. It's not just at the top, it's really a shared belief living in people's hearts. Undoing that is hard work, and often requires a rupture of a sort

Yes, we talked to a geologist who curls about the very special geology of curling's stones, please enjoy
Why curling rocks come from just two spots on Earth
The rocks used in the Olympic sport of curling come from one island in Scotland and one quarry in Wales. What makes them so special?

Hello, friends! I have a student in a class who is searching for an external examiner for her undergraduate Honors work. She is focused on surrogacy and reproductive justice in Europe and the U.S. There is a small honorarium available for a prof who can help! Let me know.

And someone outside the ER keeps injuring people and putting them in there
Living in Minnesota right now feels like being in the emergency room. Literally everyone is suffering in different ways, even if it's "just" a badly twisted ankle rather than a kidney stone or a full-on heart attack. The staff are working as hard as they can but energy and resources are dwindling.

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.
Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.
