People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

unironically, I think the thing that would most mystify the founders is how Congress has so thoroughly ceded its status as a coequal branch such that checks and balances are only either dead or weaponized.
I guess the founders never imagined Congress would not greedily protect its own power?

I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

This whole thread is amazing
That silly “it’s the worst time ever to be or raise a Real Man” post in defense of “boys simply MUST worship at the altar of the Tate brothers b/c feminism & the gays” has me thinking - not about that, obviously it’s nonsense. About what it would take to see a societal shift in masculinity.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

I don’t mind sounding naive or overly optimistic by saying that I actually fucking believe in this stuff: I think that the people should be able to govern ourselves, and a free society is the only kind worth living in.

It's the true story of how my grandparents met in a JA incarceration camp in Idaho called Minidoka.
It's about the cruelty of racist policies and the resilience of the people those policies target.
But the need to talk to our youngest about these things persists.

Huge issue. We need smaller cars and trucks to save lives.
The Economist has published a deeply-researched story about car bloat -- and it's very, very damning.
"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."

and today you're 50% more likely to be killed in a car accident in the USA than in Japan.
Think that number sounds wrong? You're right. The actual number is 500%. 2600 total vehicle fatalities in Japan in 2023 vs 45,000 in the United States. That's 6x more deaths per person. It's a choice.

The reason Kei cars exist to my understanding is because Japan was in the ever wider roads ever bigger cars race we were until they realize it was killing children. They removed street parking and narrowed roads and so they needed smaller cars as a result. They also shrunk their fire trucks.
there is no doubt in my mind that state DMVs banning kei cars for being "unsafe" compared to large SUVs is because car manufacturers don't want people learning that smaller and cheaper cars are an option.
