NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

abruptly revoking trans people's drivers' licenses means suddenly criminalizing their everyday behavior, it's burdensome, it's intrusive. and it's targeted at suppressing the freedoms of a vulnerable group.
this is absolutely fucking terrifying, on every imaginable level.
every time i see this creep's face lately it's because he said something insanely bigoted in public to prove that he's electable
you think you can simply ban blippi from the house but then your toddler listens to a sesame street playlist and he hears a blippi/elmo duet of "garbage truck" that he immediately imprints on like a baby duck and everything goes to shit
first date was boring (got drinks at a dive bar)
second date was nye, so it involved accidentally spending hundreds of dollars on a prix fixe menu, then meeting a bunch of his friends and spilling a margarita on one of their loafers
it really drives me to despair
being in local FB mom groups, I routinely see women asking for advice on getting floofy exemptions to their children's vaccines and it is basically impossible to get them to admit that this might have any effect on their own or other people's children
"Maybe all we do is frustrate," Star said. "Give someone one more day with their daughter or their dad.
"But if you lost your dad, or you lost your daughter, you would give anything to have one more day with them. And that’s what we can do.”
My latest for Slate
even if they did, the real issue is that no one wants to buy another stroller/car seat/travel crib just for one trip
correct, which is why we never fly anywhere. much easier to secure a 100-car caravan to ensure you always have the essentials (water wipes, a booster seat they refuse to sit in, 500 pounds of fig bars) on hand
his gofundme is linked in the thread, if you want to help support his recovery
every detail of this case is more horrific than the last, I’m actually sick to my stomach
the only reason to join ICE is because you want to be able to beat up and/or shoot brown people and get away with it, exhibit 47392874
I’ve hardly even seen anyone talking about Members Only: Palm Beach, which is basically “Mar-a-Lago the reality show”
it’s been funny watching reality franchises trying to pivot right to catch the Trump vibe shift, only for it to already be, essentially, over
so important to platform male voices in these spaces 🙏
Traitors recap! after a wild episode 8, we broke down the internecine violence in the turret, the unlikely murder, and Rob's terrifying allure with @notalawyer.bsky.social -- plus, we close-read the casting announcement for Chris Harrison's new trad dating show
even as so many books desks have been wound down over the years (i was basically the whole books dept at huffpost when i got laid off in 2021), i really never dreamed it would happen at wapo. devastating.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

using the safety of “women and children” as a pretext to recklessly endanger (if not assault or kidnap) every woman and child they encounter
disgusting.
this man was perplexed by the political rage of women in his life in *2020*, two entire years after at least, off the top of my head, two major nonfiction books specifically explaining the rise of female rage were published
so, uh, "abolish ice" does NOT mean "add more, mostly redundant, regulations that ice will continue to ignore." just... to clarify
getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys
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.
for years, I’ve seen conservatives handwringing about “how to explain gay marriage/drag brunch to their kids.” it’s easy! my kid has never batted an eye.
this… i don’t know how to explain this.
i had to explain what was happening in Minneapolis to my 6-year-old today. he was so scared and confused. it completely shatters my heart to think of the kids his age who have been snatched off the street, seen their parents kidnapped, and how helpless they and their parents must feel.
