3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.

2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to β€œheadcount issues”.

Friends, please sign up for the 11/15 @handsoffnyc.bsky.social Day of Community Action in NYC right now.

Pushing back against ICE and feds in our cities is about protecting our neighbors -- but it's also about protecting our future elections.

a comic book panel from the godzilla comic with charles barkley that includes the phrase "godzilla got busy" while godzilla attempts to throw a basketball into a hoop. it is not a slam dunk and we cannot be sure if the ball is falling out or about to go in, as there are no motion lines. godzilla is wearing special godzilla nike shoes for his godzilla feet

I think it just doesn't show it. I've had mine for a month, and I either end up going to machine for the balance, or making an account to see it.

On Sunday, a DOJ whistleblower told 60 Minutes what the public has suspected for months now: The Trump administration told him to lie to a judge about Ábrego García. trib.al/TE5xu42

"What’s to stop them if they decide they don’t like you anymore? To say you’re a criminal, you’re a member of MS-13?"

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

The media's really just going to bounce over the fact that at Trump's meeting today they said "we've been fighting antifa for a hundred years, since they tried to stop us in 1930s Germany" and everyone nodded along, huh

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours.

'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

This is illegal, plain and simple, with penalties including removal from federal service, debarment from federal employment for five years, and a fine of $1000. 5 U.S.C. Β§ 7326.

A country which valued the rule of law would enforce its laws.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

β€œPeople of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone
