Flavor Fav is more of a patriot than every single member of the men's USA hockey team.

I said it.

I know it.

Two women arrested for kissing in Uganda after neighbors reported them - LGBTQ Nation One activist says they could get life in prison under the nation's repressive anti-homosexuality law.

This kind of repression is not a traditional part of African culture. It has been pushed on the continent aggressively by American evangeicals.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

He said β€œeverything’s so political these days” in response to backlash from the Trump call. Spoken like a man who’s never others call his rights into question.

the word artist is surrounded by red and blue pieces of glass ALT: the word artist is surrounded by red and blue pieces of glass

This is simultaneously the least shocking and most horrifying news I've read today.

We all KNEW that ICE wasn't teaching their recruits properly.

We all KNEW they were violating the Constitution on the daily.

But now we KNOW that it's not "bad apples," it's POLICY.

β€œHonest, compassionate, generous, & kind” are not words I would use to describe a billionaire polluting the air with a private jet who called any criticism of her album β€œbots” and used an AI-PR firm to do it. Her new single had valid racism claims and she ignored it and then made it the single.

Half the country voted for grievance and spectacle instead of functioning government. They picked like it was reality TV.

Counterpoint: No.

ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

On privilege:

On privilege:

If your rights were a gift of birth and not a court ruling,you (at the very least) owe the world a debt of understanding.

Privilege is the absence of a struggle

We can let our privileges fuel our awareness,and let the struggle of others grow our empathy

We can make the world better.

I’ve lost count of how many US citizens ICE has shot.

And the media still acts like it’s only two.

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE.

A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas.

wtf did Mamdani have anything to do with it? He wasn’t in office when Trump was running. That was Eric Adams, who’s insane, not an actual Dem, and capitulated to 45 IMMEDIATELY.

I agree good candidates are needed. It’s wild to me we’re already being told β€œyou BETTER vote for Newsom” 3 years in advance. Literally telling them now don’t run him and they’re mad.

Pretty sure I recently read that the National Trust for Historic Preservation sued him for the destruction he already caused and to prevent further construction. Hopefully the lawsuit is successful.

β€œI reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”

I hate it. I don’t live in a state that’s doing this, but I’m sure they’ll push for federal. I love my job, but this bs is so frustrating.

A lot of libraries with these kinds of laws have been posting signs saying anyone under 18 can’t get a library card or be unaccompanied in the library.

So what’s going to happen is they’re effectively going to remove Children’s areas and programming from libraries. I’m a Children’s Librarian and essentially, the rule is probably going to become β€œno, I can’t find that book unless your parent signs a consent form. Ask them.”

I have MANY. If I love a book, I would be upset that it’s poorly adapted.

Or the fact that those same people you’re yelling at her for already weren’t going to see it because they’re racist and they think she’s β€œtoo ethnic” to play Snow White even though she’s a white-presenting Latina? Why does this man still have a job?
