Tow truck driver Bobby Nunez had only moved the ICE vehicle one block away, with the SUV reportedly returned to agents within 13 minutes. Yet, Nunez faced up to 10 years in prison.

A federal jury Sunday refused to indict him, which sent Stephen Miller into a tantrum: trib.al/1ZZ53TW

Update: have finished The Sapling Cage and I *did* spot @margaret.bsky.social's Tamora Pierce shoutout in the acknowledgements, I love that the Tamora Pierce fans of my youth are all grown up and writing their own books now
Just started reading The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy and what I can say so far is that if you loved the Tamora Pierce Tortall books and wish there was a genderswapped version by a trans woman about needing to be a girl to get trained as a witch, this could very much be the book for you

imagining the world if a left leaning administration made this offer but for white people who’s families are from europe
Kristi Noem makes an announcement on Fox & Friends: "We are saying that if you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, if you're in the US illegally, we'll give you $3,000 through the holidays to send you home. We'll buy you a ticket, give you $3,000 to go home."

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.

It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

In case you're unclear on what JD Vance is trying to do here maybe it will help to recall Italian writer Ignazio Silone's 1938 description of what fascism is:

“Fascism is a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.”
JD Vance: "In the United States of America you don't have to apologize for being white anymore"

I doubt anyone has ever been asked to apologize just for being born white. For acting like a racist, on the other hand….

Folks, you can’t have Christian Nationalism without the antisemitism. It’s a central tenet of the ideology. The fact some of these Jewish Heritage folks are just realizing this is wild to me.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

Incredible obituary in NYT for Betty Reid Soskin, who served as a National Park Service ranger until age 100 and witnessed so much in her life.

Her great grandma was born into slavery. Then she stood with America’s first black president.

“What could be more American than that?”

To add to this - THE MEMORY HUNTERS is not inspired by the Middle Ages. Valerian IV does not wear plate armor. But she does have a sword, is sworn to guard her charge, and went to combat school. And I wrote her specifically to fulfill the princess/knight trope. Sapphically.

I ever tell you guys I got replaced with ChatGPT on a project at Saber? One of the execs figured if we wanted to do live ops content for it not only would it be less work for everyone if ChatGPT wrote all of it, but that they could use it as a marketing selling point since gamers love AI

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

I feel like when this movie first came out, they advertised it like a silly Tim Allen movie. Then my dad and I watched it on a plane a few months later, and we were both blown away. My dad’s not a big movie fan, but he spent the next few weeks telling everybody how great it was. I am, and so did I!
Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.

Transgender people deserve the same chance to thrive and live fulfilling lives as everyone else.

Shame on Republicans for trying to strip away healthcare from vulnerable children.

And shame on anyone who votes to deny care to families trying to do right by their kids.
