Crucially, the mother missed the hearing in 2018 because she was a child at the time, and it was her mother’s failure to bring her to the hearing which led to the deportation order. This is depressingly common.

You'd think Elon would be familiar with the phrase "Garbage In, Garbage Out". Having a LLM decide what the correct version of the entirety of human knowledge is, deciding what's "wrong" and deleting "errors", in a recursive fashion, is a profoundly stupid idea, even for Elon.

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

Trump’s EPA is considering overturning a ban on cancer-causing asbestos. A top EPA official involved in the decision once lobbied for the American Chemistry Council – the group who sued to stop the ban. Trump is risking our health so corporations can line their pockets.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Oh my god. As pundits lap up this book with gusto, a few people do get what the authors are up to and it isn't good.

Oh no! I would too. Our vet clinic has consistently been the 1 place we can count on to practice sane infection control, & require masking. I told them--in all seriousness--that I wanted them to be my doctor too (our HMO is awash in handwashing signs but no masking. Ugh.)

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

Today, I stand with the millions of Americans making clear this country doesn't belong to a king. It’s a democracy, and it belongs to the people.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Kent State, where unarmed student protesters were gunned down by National Guard troops, offers stark warning. The federal deployment of military personnel now risks causing the same escalation, tragic error and lasting damage to what’s left of our democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/o...

Red-eyed Vireos often nest high in tree canopies (up to 35 feet/11 meters off the ground) so I don't often get a good look at their nests, but last weekend we found this lovely momma building a nest at hip-height in the forest so we got to watch her: #birds
