And I really really enjoyed writing this opening lol
A screenshot of the first two paragraphs of the article, which reads: "The following sentence might make a globalist cry out for joy: A toy that is manufactured by a Chinese company in Vietnamese factories, designed by a Dutch artist in Belgium, inspired by indie toy culture in Hong Kong, and made viral thanks to a Thai K-pop star, has turned into the biggest Gen-Z cultural trend of 2025. That abomination of a sentence is the story of Labubu, the creepy-cute stuffed monster that swept the world this summer. You must have seen the trend by now, but most people are still unaware of the global, decade-long story that led up to it. Last week, I published a feature story about my journey into the heart of Labubu, how this cultural mania moment was created, and where it may go from here."

ICE has deported over 100,000 people since January, double the rate of the Biden administration in 2024.

In this video @telliotter.bsky.social reports on where exactly the arrests are happening, where people are being detained, and where they’re being deported to.

This is terrifying. @davidgilbert.bsky.social spoke to Rutgers professor Mark Bray, who wrote a book about antifa and is now being deluged by death threats.

Bray and his family tried to flee for Europe this weekend. Their tickets were mysteriously canceled right before they boarded the plane.
