WA state sen. Leonard Christian used the R-word in a floor debate on Wednesday. "'Could I have chosen a better word? Probably,' Christian said. Christian had not publicly apologized as of Thursday afternoon.... Republicans did not censure or penalize Christian as of Thursday afternoon."

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.

Why You Should Do More Things Alone Sometimes the most important person to meet at the ballet is yourself, writes Rainesford Stauffer.

For @time.com, I wrote a short essay about the first time, years ago, that I went to a ballet alone, where I entered the theater with a cheap, single ticket and emerged with a love of solo outings. I also chatted with people about activities they love to do alone, from hikes to movies to meals out:

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I am a pacifist but I volunteer

yeah, I just don’t hate myself that much

yeah, also caught some crybaby complaints about sanctuary cities and blue states that have made it illegal for local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE, while hoping against hope that a single one of these questioners would stop fawning over her long enough to read the news alerts

so I watched for two minutes before a cop asked her, my hand to god, “are you religious? because you have the answers to all my prayers” and I had to close the window and go vomit

lmk when the plane lands

thank you!!

The Pro-Human AI Declaration The Pro-Human AI Declaration

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org

❤️ thank you for sharing it with them!

Opinion | He Didn’t Kill Anyone. Alabama Is About to Execute Him Anyway.

“…all sides agree that [Sonny Burton] did not kill the victim. Governors of other states with similar laws have granted clemency under such conditions. Yet Mr. Burton’s execution date remains fixed.”

Idaho considers an 'apocalyptic' choice for disabled people and families Difficult budget decisions in a number of states are threatening vital programs for disabled people at home and caregivers in the workforce.

States have started proposing steep reductions in disability services to cope with Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Idaho is the first to suggest scrapping home care altogether — An action with a high human cost. My latest @19thnews.org.

congrats, Joshua!

Taking time to do this today. I grew up in an old logging town in Oregon, where I once made a lot of enemies by doing a school project on the endangered spotted owl. These forests welcome me every time I visit—I'll always associate them with home, with rest and peace. They deserve their peace, too.

idk Liz I was informed that she is raised and I am done 🫠

18 years, that’s how long it usually takes, on average, to make a baby book? and also raise a baby?

ordered photos of my child’s first birthday so I can finally complete the last pages of the beautiful baby book her aunt made for her before she was born. this child just turned 18.

I WILL be stealing “I pray you find peace and respect for yourself,” goddamn

those 85 schoolgirls will never kill again
