Malaclypse the Middle

More violence was directed at Ilhan Omar tonight than has been directed at all DHS stormtroopers in Minnesota the entire occupation

She took a half step back and then stepped AT this dude. ICE needs 30 masked guys each with their own body armor and assault rifle to even approach this level of courage.

Farscape.

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution Close to two-thirds of the city’s residents commute by bike to school or work every day.

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

This is Bosom Buddies erasure.

her bodyguard did this dude a favor. she was coming at him like she just heard the bell ring.

Saw a reply to this thread saying "what's cool is all these problems are solved by abolishing ICE" and... no, no they are not.

Abolishing ICE doesn't even abolish CBP. But also the massive data/privacy issues Wyden is talking about have implications far beyond even the worst 3-letter agencies.

Strike out the words “like trying to” and that’s what just happened, yea.

We were on the cusp of changing medicine forever. Curing things that had no cure. mRNA vaccines are revolutionary

Trump break FEMA.

It's like, how much more 1980s could this be? And the answer is none. None more 1980s.

just limitless depravity

In hindsight this was overdetermined.

::sigh:::

look, as an Iranian American I can safely say that no one really cares about kidnapping and hostage taking at foreign embassies and it is not something that countries hold long grudges about - so I think this will quickly pass.

This is no less murder than what happened to Renee and Alex.

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.

I will say I understand why this is the policy, but also

"Superman Comes to Cleveland" with an announcment that his strip is going to be in the Plain Dealer. There is a large image of Superman on the right and two panels from the comic on the left.

A promo for the Superman newspaper strip’s arrival in Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer on January 21, 1940. The strip been around for a little over a year at that point. And Cleveland is where Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster met and created Superman.

I feel like my pointing out all the shitty “collision involving a cyclist” headlines is finally starting to payoff. This is exactly how we should report news about people hitting vulnerable road users with their vehicles.

Bike rides are being organized all over the country for Alex Pretti this Saturday.
Find one in your city, and if nothing is planned, go for it!

This kind of intellectual firepower is usually only found at unaccredited colleges in Austin

I say this as a local organizer in my own city: defer to what the local organizers in their own cities are saying and asking you to do. Don't spread unfounded rumors.
