Idk who did this comic but it's hilarious

The human body was not meant to endure 2 trump terms in one lifetime.

A graphic of the article headline, with the logo for People at the top followed by the headline, "EXCLUSIVE: singer Gaelynn Lea as people assume she must be miserable because of her disability: 'I have an awesome life'.

My last fight with my Palestinian father still haunts me. Neither of us could bury the past — Guardian US My eternally exiled father was dying and witnessing a siege on Gaza. Afterwards I could go home – but he couldn’t

The surprising reason why women are using AI less often than men A growing body of research shows that women’s feelings about AI are more likely to affect their behavior than men’s, with one concern standing out in particular.

Collectivist mindset vs individualist, likelihood of concerns (about ethics, environmental impact, etc.) translating into action.

Another interesting bit - more tech literacy did not mean more engagement with technology.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

ICE protester says her Global Entry was revoked after agent scanned her face Global Entry and Precheck revoked three days after incident, court filing says.

‘Mommy, open the door’: Mother recounts her terror as her 5-year-old was taken by ICE Liam Conejo Ramos was taken with his father, Adrián Alexander Conejo Arias, when the two returned home on Jan. 20 from Liam's preschool, according to a school official.

““They used my boy as bait. Even so, my husband desperately insisted that I not go out, especially because we have another child and I am pregnant,” she said. “His only intention was to protect us, like any responsible husband and father.””

What's morale like at CBP & ICE right now? New survey data are damning.
*21% of CBP respondents (9% of ICE respondents) believe their agencies' political leaders maintain high standards of integrity.
*Only 23% at CBP (18% at ICE) feel confident they could report illegal acts without retribution

How to help the resistance to ICE in Minnesota — and beyond What Minnesota’s immigrant communities need from you now.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Stand With Minnesota A directory of places to give to as Minnesota defends itself from ICE occupation

For giving, this is a very good resource for mutual aid orgs, personal fundraisers, and nonprofit/community org donations.

Besides that, the best thing you can do is prepare your own communities. If it can happen here or Lewiston, Maine, it can happen anywhere.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Folds: I wouldn’t touch the place while it’s nuclear right now. Even if I’m just going to be a total capitalist about it, it’s like, yeah, let the market speak. How’s the Kennedy Center doing? Oops. Don’t play there. That venue can’t draw crowds. They don’t know what they’re doing there.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Screenshot from project 2025 that says By statute or regulation, CDC guidance must be prohibited from taking on a prescriptive character. For example, never again should CDC officials be allowed to say in their official capacity that school children "should be" masked or vaccinated (through a schedule or otherwise) or prohibited from learning in a school building. Such decisions should be left to parents and medical providers. We have learned that when CDC says what people "should" do, it readily becomes a "must" backed by severe punishments, including criminal penalties. CDC should report on the risks and effectiveness of all infectious disease-mitigation measures dispassionately and leave the "should" and "must" policy calls to politically accountable parties. Conflicts of Interest. There was a time when the CDC could not take money

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
