Retired journalist and union activist, now focusing on the things most important to me - like social justice and badly used apostrophes.

White House tweet using a Studio Ghibli-style meme showing an ICE officer with a woman in handcuffs as she's crying. The quote-tweet includes the words: Virginia Basora-Gonzalez, a previously deported alien felon convicted of fentanyl trafficking, was arrested by @ICEgov in Philadelphia after illegally reentering the U.S. She wept when taken into custody (picture attached).

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.
The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.
It gets worse. The Friendly Giant was normal sized and no way two are snuggling up in that tiny chair.

Don't spend another dollar in America. Across the country people are cancelling long-planned trips.
I just heard from a Canadian travel agent who is telling her customers she won't book trips to the United States.

The boycott is strong.

We don't bend.
We don't break.
Trump's existential test for U.S. democracy is officially in motion.
Judges have been batting down Trump's attempts to overreach his powers. But now, for the first time, Trump has defied them.
America's response to this will show the strength of U.S. democracy -- and the risk to the rest of us:

Why would any sane Canadian let the fascist Elon Musk use X to interfere in our democracy?
TickTok has never threatened Canada.
X, Trump and Muskolini have made it clear that they intend to interfere in our sovereignty and our nation.
Time to kick his fascist arse.
Meta is eliminating fact-checkers. Just what we need, more disinformation on social media to foment outrage.

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.
That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media.
I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.

But we did not give up on this country. We rebuilt our lives, and we worked to ensure that something like this never happened again in America.
Now, I fear there are echoes from that dark chapter of our history. They are speaking once again of camps to hold people, this time for the crime of /2

Trump puts GOP Senate majority’s loyalties to the test as Gaetz, other cabinet picks draw scrutiny: Whether the Republican Senate caucus agrees with Trump’s cabinet choices will demonstrate how complete his dominance over the party has become

only certain people have the privilege to play around with their health and pseudoscience and “fix” shit when they go too overboard—like idk, have a brainworm. everyone else is going to suffer greatly or be killed by this fucked up era
