A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

this is the worst thing ever and simultaneously the perfect metaphor for contemporary white wealth in the united states

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

The Trump administration restructures federal health agencies, cuts 20,000 jobs The reduction in force comes along with a reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services, consolidating 28 divisions to 15.

This is not efficiency, this is abandonment.

Americans deserve health care that works for them — and instead, the Trump administration is wreaking havoc on seniors, people with disabilities, and our most vulnerable.

In Illinois, we will stand up against these attacks.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

@raskin.house.gov: "The most glaring conflict of interest of all is that Elon is a government contractor himself, who collects billions of dollars from the US government... And like all authoritarian and fascist movements around the world in history, corruption is at the heart of it."

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Downloaded a copy in case it is removed in the future. Will be taking the time to read it through at some point.

Wow — that shameless @GovBillLee tweet lying about Biden’s Helene response and gaslighting about Trump treating all states equally got community noted AND @VoteGloriaJ’s response has been enshrined in an @RawStory post.

Nice job, Guv!

This one spoke to me personally as a summer 2023 started a several-months-long obsession with solitaire, which set me up for having my life ended by Balatro in 2024

agdq’s crazy taxi run has a mosh pit

“‘A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know,’ Judge Gurfein argued.”

This year’s #AGDQ2025 was phenomenal. Brought a lot of joy to a really long and hard week of terrible events and news.

Congrats to the Prevent Cancer Foundation on receiving $2.5mil+ from this excellent speedrunning marathon!

Didn’t happen to me personally but Games Done Quick 2025 has raised over $2mil for the Prevent Cancer Foundation this week. And the number is still going up!

congratulations to meta platforms for creating the nation’s first sundown social media platforms

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

Wisdom from his many years.

A cartoon by Mike Luckovich shows a large blue gulf labeled "Gulf of America," separating two masses of densely packed dots representing people. A yellow banner on the left side reads "Informed Voters," while a yellow banner on the right side reads "Uninformed Voters." The image humorously depicts a divide between informed and uninformed voters.

Perfectly depicted.

A hero, thanks!

At first glance I thought Cat Rambo was the main character of a story called “You Sexy Thing” and I didn’t question it at all.

Great explainer! But I gotta say, pretty rude to hint at a mind blowing game and then make us wait a week to find out what it is!

The stack of reasons for deleting any/all meta profiles is going to be tall enough to reach the moon at this rate.

Read the whole thing. A rollercoaster of logic, tying red threads between nothings and nonsense.

The Washington Post calls January 6 and the events leading up to it "election-reversal efforts." It has gotten Orwellian over there.

I will say again, support independent, pro-democracy media.

‘We’re Fine’: Lying to Ourselves About a Climate Disaster The dystopia of Los Angeles' fires are horrifying, mundane, and everything in between.

We had to evacuate Los Angeles. Most people I know there have also had to leave. We are safe in San Diego and our apartment is unlikely to burn down. We are very lucky. But alongside the visceral horror of the wildfires there is also the mundanity of dystopia

Funny how consumers executing their power in the marketplace (choosing which products/services to use) gets rebranded to make us look like fools and the company a paragon of freedom.
