He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

The pattern is they fire a ton of people, say they made a mistake, and then selectively rehire back only the most mediocre white men.

This is why Black women's unemployment has spiked, the federal government used to be the largest employer of Black women until these monte carlo firings

Am I losing my eyes? It looks like the ball was coming loose before it gets batted away but the announcers are saying he has control. #GoDawgs

That looks like the obvious things: good work, transparency, accountability but also: websites that don't suck, headlines that are not clickbait, social promotion that is not ragebait, ads on the page that are not garbage...

Gyms should hire cheerleaders that just wander around and give people encouragement, high fives, cheers, etc. for those of us that can’t afford trainers but are doing our best.

Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.

I am pretty exhausted by officials, continually asserting that progressive prosecutors just let violent criminals walk...with no pushback

That is TOTAL 🐴💩

Progressive prosecutors suggested that you should charge fewer misdemeanor crimes so that you could focus resources on more SERIOUS CRIMES

there's a conspiracy theory going around that actually Travis Kelce wrote the songs on the new Swift album that everyone seems to hate and torn between stop making excuses everyone does bad work at some point and these are the sort of conspiracies we need as a society

Speaking as a millennial: Absolutely ducking not. I work because I have to and mostly enjoy it. But it will never define my life. Fuck whatever this is.

Is the Treasury Department trying to tell us something? 🧐

Fun fact: Even if federal money *was* being spent on Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants (it isn’t), the money wouldn’t be “going to illegal aliens.”

It would be going to *healthcare providers*…ie, hospitals, doctors, etc.

Medicaid enrollees don’t receive the money.

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue:

1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims

2- see above

This entire trilogy is what made me realize I do in fact enjoy fantasy and it was the sci fi in “fantasy/sci fi” I didn’t like much. (Though I’m now finding I really like cozy sci fi and space cowboy sci fi.)

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.”

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Update from Huffington Post that reads: Trump Talks About 'N-Words' In Long Ramble To Troops During a long and subdued ramble about nuclear weapons, Trump referred to "nuclear" as one of two "N-words." "There are two N-words and you can't use either of them. You can't use either of them," he said.

Ummm…

Well, at least they’re saying the quiet parts out loud and showing us exactly who they are? (Not that we didn’t already know…)

Trump Posts Deranged AI Video of Chuck Schumer Calling Democrats ‘Just a Bunch of Woke Pieces of Sh*t’ President Donald Trump posted a bizarre, AI-generated video of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling Democrats "a bunch of woke pieces of sh*t."

"Trump Posts Deranged AI Video of Chuck Schumer Calling Democrats ‘Just a Bunch of Woke Pieces of Sh*t’" Hope Chuck and Hakeem feel good about begging to meet Trump. In reality they should be using every minute to fight Trump's FASCISM! www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Since when does Monday night football have two games at the same time?

Local News Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

A gunman opened fire on a waterfront bar from a boat.

Another opened fire on a Mormon church.

The problem is the guns.

Trump’s awful but it’s important to note he’d be different and potentially less harmful kinds of awful if he weren’t advised and manipulated by some of the most evil people in American history.

The most baffling thing about this strategy is that the Democrats don't even have a signature policy on healthcare!

"Don't look at the fascist militarization of US cities, look at ..." what exactly?

I feel like we’ve been saying this for several seasons now and they seem to never listen. *sigh*

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities.

It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.
