My phone added Gemini, but I do not want Gemini. I told it to leave as I did not want it. It asked if it could do anything else. I said, "Lock the door behind you." "understood. Closing down. Virtually locking the door." Nice.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

This is obviously thinly-veiled racism. But it’s also a bullshit premise. Haitian refugees were thriving in Springfield. Bhutanese, Congolese, other refugees from Africa & Asia have reinvigorated Rust Belt towns and cities. Trump wants to send them all back.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

I totally have the older teen party figured out. You get pizza delivered and then keep it in the oven on warm. Drinks in the cooler, chips on the table. They come and graze what they like. It is the last teen birthday, though. What will next year look like?

The Smithsonian says the 1960s Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture will remain in place, according to reporter April Ryan. The museum has come under pressure from Trump, who accused it of being divisive for teaching history.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

If your loans go into debt collection, remember the onus is on the collector to prove that the loans are legally yours. Often collectors rely on intimidation. No paperwork, no signature, no payment.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Honestly I don’t get the focus on this. He’s defied the constitution and the law in so many ways, and many are happening right NOW. Why focus on years from now? It may take care of itself.
