@gailsimone.bsky.social Just a suggestion, if you wanted to contact your senator with it...

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured?

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

True. When Trump dies the shit show of a word that MAGA has given us will not change, as long as Republicans are in power. That's why it's the celebration of Trump's death that I'm looking forward to. It'll be a blowing off of steam, a party. We can use it.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Watching @miniminuteman.bsky.social's newest video on Ancient Astronauts and it's worth noting Erich Daniken's Chariots of the Gods? was heavily edited and rewritten by Wilhelm Utermann, who also edited Völkischer Beobachter (the Nazi party newspaper), as well as a number of other propaganda pieces.

I hate to Schumerpost, it’s hacky in its own way. But he and any Democrat like him really need to be steamrolled into oblivion. They’re constantly underselling the dangers of the moment and trying to get us back to the “Republicans Are My Friend, Let’s Give Another Trillion Dollars to Israel” vibe.

Oh no. It's happening again. I'm getting the urge to rebuild the d20 system my own special Frankenstein of a game.

The John Wick series is so effective because it fully embodies the three major tenets of dumb guy fantasy: 1. being able to kick anyone’s ass, 2. living by a code of honor, and 3. paying for things with gold coins

The 2028 Dem platform needs to include "prosecute everyone who lied to Congress."

Whatever fake "norms" there were against that are long gone, and Trump has routinely used and threatened it, including against the Federal Reserve. Real, meritorious prosecutions need to happen at scale.

A lil trade/gift for @sweetburn.bsky.social!

Minneapolis city council president Elliott Payne (front left in video) has been an absolute champ throughout the ICE invasion. Some of our MN leaders have been useless or worse, but Payne and some other council members have been heroic.

Dogs in the snow are awesome

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

A head and shoulders portrait of a woman with short, reddish-brown hair and glasses is displayed on the right side of the image. Text and statistics related to Lesley Groff, a former executive manager for Jeffrey Epstein, are visible on the left.

We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal.

It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated. (1/2)

ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times

They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti

They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children

They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally

The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid

They should be abolished

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

Reuters: "Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped."

Police lie. All the time. In paperwork. To prosecutors. To the media. On the stand while testifying under oath. And even when in the very rare case their lies are exposed, they get to keep lying with few if any consequences. This pattern isn’t just limited to ICE.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
