US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.
Stop fear-mongering. ICE does NOT arrest or deport U.S. citizens. If a U.S. citizen is arrested, it is because they have obstructed or assaulted law enforcement. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color,

people are not mad that “market prices might contradict their expressed opinion” (whatever this means) they’re mad that increasingly unregulated speculation markets are leading to the financialization of every aspect of their lives and that this is Bad and socially corrosive
I've heard so many people in the last day so very mad at the idea that market prices might contradict their expressed opinion, and be believed over them.

The phrase "calling for help was a hostile act" is really going to stay with me
The administration says they were allowed to kill the survivors of the boat strike because they were calling for help. So in the Trump admin's theory, the survivors should not have tried to survive, and by trying to survive they made it lawful to kill them.

The resurrection only makes sense inside the sequence. recognize -> interpret -> respond The women at the tomb didn’t start with a theory, they recognized the empty tomb. They recognized the risen Christ, only after that came interpretation. Every witness follows the same

for the second time in two years, I've been upgraded to an insanely beautiful top-tier suite at a hotel I've stayed at only once before. Can anyone in the industry explain how/why hotels do this? I feel incredibly thankful to nearly the point of tears, but also very confused.

So, the Girl Guides have been forced to ban trans girls, citing lawfare attempts by anti-trans hate groups to claim discrimination against ciis girls if a trans girl is allowed to be present. Any trans girl who wishes to join one of these youth organisations is now forced to join

I have tried and failed for a decade to capture this view in #Pittsburgh, and this morning I was finally able to. In this scene, the Duquesne Incline passes above the train tracks right as a Norfolk Southern train was going underneath it. Can't believe my luck that it worked out.

Where will the U.S. get the uranium needed to fuel its current and future nuclear reactor buildout? America’s reactors consume ~50 million lbs of uranium a year, while domestic mines supply barely a rounding error. While China and India have been securing supply for years, U.S.

A strategy that quite literally dates back to Reconstruction
Conservatives love trans people just because now any time they have to deal with an even slight challenge to their viewpoints they can just say "you think men are women" or "pronouns in bio" then leave, which frees them from the burden of having to think about stuff.
