Get MLK’s name out of your mouth for one…

You think it isn’t incredible that a black man became president of a nation that enslaved black people as recently as 160 years ago? A black named “Barack Hussein Obama” right off the tail of the Islamophobia of the Bush era? Are you nuts or a troll?

Curious what the current taxpayer cost has been of just moving National Guard members around for illegal deployments that have never materialized.

If I were starting a civil war, I would send National Guard troops from one state to another.

Free Greta Thunberg

Sam Altman needs to be brought before the Hague. The destruction OpenAI has wrought and will continue to proliferate is unprecedented. Sora deepfakes are going to destabilize not just the U.S. society, but the world. He and his tech bro ilk have nuked truth and reality itself.

Last defense against what? They “aren’t allowed” to come to the aid of people terrorized by ICE as you said… and to be honest, the only thing police ever defended is the interests of the capital owning class.

I honestly love that in the utter dumpster fire of civilization we’re currently enduring “Bill Belichick” is still the top trending thing on here

Spot on.

Anne Frank describes Chicago in 2025

What happened in Chicago isn't getting nearly enough attention.

They do not care if people do not have healthcare. They were opposed to any sort of government assistance in the realm of healthcare because they are corrupted to the core. They want a sick, desperate population because they assume sick and desperate people are obedient workers.

Nope. This is what will happen… the lack of subsidies will cause the plans to skyrocket in price. The GOP will tell their stupid followers that Obamacare doesn’t work because it is so expensive (leaving out they sabotaged it). Then they will have them “begging” to repeal the ACA.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

My stitches are far from perfect but to make them less wonky, I switched to Eastern Continental/combination knitting. A lot more ergonomic. And using a color-work thimble helped a lot.

Masked goons beating people up and kidnapping families in the dead of night is political violence. And we know who has a lion share of political violence. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

YouTube tutorials. Yes you can. This is my second time even trying color work. Just practice!

Shout out to the ladies at Looped Yarn Works for giving me this color-work thimble.

I feel like a badass. Not only can I crochet. I can do stranded color work off the dome… no pattern… no problem. 110% of my will to live on in this nightmare world is seeing my fiber art improved.

TLDR of today’s military loyalty test was 1.) The Geneva Convention is woke now. 2.) Fatshaming war heroes is in. 3.) This waste of tax dollars could have been a Teams call.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE

YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS

PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

I had to get these.

I’m coming for shawls now… look at meeee!

Why are people asking anything from something that weeks ago called itself MechaHitler?

Chat, is this real?

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

Actually, it is capitalism. Pure distilled greed and profit motive.

The taxpayers will shell out a settlement.
