I am convinced, although I have no hard evidence, that ICE has gotten orders to go out and re-detain Iranians with final orders of removal, many out in the community on orders of supervision for decades as Iran wouldn't take them. They may now be deported to Panama or somewhere random.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Very much relate to this and it can be so satisfying to go and research a "small" topic and put an article on there that didn't exist before.

Growing anti-immigration sentiment in Canada is almost entirely driven by political leaders. It is not a grassroots-up issue that leaders are begrudgingly responding to. Leaders are whipping up resentment against immigrants, out of nowhere

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

This is very, very bad. A new state law will likely force the closure of hundreds of low-enrollment programs at Indiana University. The cutoff is 15 graduates/year for undergrad majors, 7 for Masters programs, and 3 for PhD programs, averaged over 3 years. wfiunews.wordpress.com/2025/06/24/h...

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

If you still aren't aware how ICE is massing up so quickly, this article breaks through a lot of the conspircy noise going on. I'd very much encourage reading is so you can grasp what capability the government has, and how badly they will fumble it when going to fast.

Ken Sim says the $5 million Vancouver Police task force is a VPD initiative. The VPD says it’s a joint initiative of them and council. But council has never approved the funding, and the VPD chair wasn’t informed it was happening. Here’s my story on a very confusing question of accountability.

Honestly, even the Chinese and Russians never made me do this to get a visa. Even the North Koreans, who made me hand over my phone for the duration of my visit, never made this demand.

Folks who are in denial about the venality of mainstream Christianity are realizing, way too late, that they’d like to put the horse back in the barn. Perhaps the time for action was before the fascist coup, the white supremacist uprising, or the systematized child abuse supply chains.

The response to Zohran Mamdani's campaign reminds me of the stories I've heard from ambitious, optimistic Millennials (esp. BIPOC) whose ideas are repeatedly shot down by managers, are told they don't have enough experience to be leaders, and are constantly subjected to microaggressions and racism.

Overshadowed by other news today, but this reporting on USAID’s dismantling is important. “When employees raised concerns about demands that they viewed as dangerous or unlawful, the administration branded their actions as ‘insubordination’— then used that charge to justify dismantling the agency.”
