We still haven't agreed as a society that prison rape jokes are foul and horrible and should never be made, so I don't know if we'll make it on that one. As soon as "people" become "prisoners" or "the homeless" or "criminals" etc. the concern about what happens to them plummets.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Anti-abortion activists admit they're only acting concerned about alleged health risks from abortion pills because restoring outdated restrictions is a first step to banning them entirely. That strategy is obvious to many, but still good to see it out in the open:

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants
the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever
they aren’t going into universities’ endowments
they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy
Harvard & others must counter this quickly
The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.

To be clear, gang members also should have due process. And this is a reminder how criminalizing behaviors, tattoos, etc is infused with white supremacy, xenophobia & ableism.
With Trump ramping up efforts to disappear people under the dubious pretext of "gang affiliation," Hannah Dreier’s gutting @propublica.org story from 2018 is a must-read.
It exposes how high schools, police, and ICE funneled students into detention and deportation over nothing more than a doodle.
