That lack of a national childcare program, meanwhile, is why immigrant women now play such a big role in the US childcare industry. Because, without substantial public investment, childcare can't be both affordable and decently compensated. So, that underpaid work falls to those most vulnerable. 8/

As @meron.bsky.social posted, Eritrean asylum seekers set to be deported by ICE are saying they'd rather commit suicide than face the monstrous regime. This happened before when Habtom committed suicide in Canada after his asylum was denied. 💔

we, in the United States, through Trump’s mass deportation scheme, have engaged in abductions and torture for the past year, none of it in secret, much of it attested to in legal documents. there is nothing to expose, only to face.

The worst thing about this 60 Min story is that the powerful are not held to account bc of the compliance and cowardice of the very specific exec chosen for this role.
A secondary worst thing is that said exec will face 0 accountability
A tertiary worst thing is that CBS News is no longer trusted

And let's not forget that Bari Weiss has reached this dynamic failpocalypse following a long long history of failing upwards AND anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian racism going back to her college years. And of course, she signed the Harper's Letter.

Bari Weiss is innovating entire new dimensions of failure. She's failing in ways hitherto unconceived of. A pioneer of failology. A faileontologist. Whole career is a Fail Mary. She's beyond the fail. The Daily Fail. She's on the quest for the Holy Fail. Making tomato and Fail Salad.

Every adoption reveals so many politics. I’ve grown to apply the idea of abolition (of slavery) to prisons & policing, ie: I stopped asking how prison & police could be improved, but ask how conditions of societies can change so that they’re unnecessary.
Abolition can be applied to adoption, too.

Every defense of intercountry #adoption into the USA is a defense of what the other sending country *will* eventually call a “shameful chapter in our history.” Bank on that.

This is what everyone said was going to happen! The movement to criminalize abortion has never been about reducing the number of abortions—if it were, it would be all-in on increasing access to contraceptives and accurate sex ed. It has always been about the power to oppress unfavored women.
I wonder if most Americans know that the abortion rate has only gone up since Roe ended with all kinds of misery and mortality. One of the most clarifying moments in my life was a 2012 study that found abortion is MORE common where it’s illegal, and more deadly.
The abortion rate in the US hasn’t gone down at all. It’s a surprising stat when you consider the number of attacks and the sheer suffering being caused by anti-abortion politicians. Why is that? I di...

Designating fentanyl a WMD will worsen fentanyl misinformation, which does not prevent overdoses -it makes them deadlier- & harms anyone who could ever need pain treatment, anesthesia, & more. Patients already refuse one of the safest, best studied, easiest-to-dose pain meds because of such misinfo!
Trump declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. What does it mean?
The declaration of fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction is the latest move by President Donald Trump casting the nation’s deadly drug crisis as a national security issue.

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.
