Prof Holmes, that is such a lovely response to a joke 🥹

patriotic americans pioneered the amphibious invasion so patriotic amphibians could repel illegal invasions

Woman holding a senior chihuahua, overheard at the blessing of the animals: “three years ago I think she had an exorcism here”

I mean I personally think it’s unseemly to brag about my celebrity perfume knowledge but

I do think a lot of these exact people don’t know much about Elizabeth Taylor or her perfumes though

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

the rule of law is not embedded in a sanitary set of procedural values but in the moral forces that give meaning to the substance of law.

did not predict dartmouth would be the first on this list to tell trump to fuck off, but i'm not complaining

What a dark day for press freedom in the United States

right, this seems like literally ancient moral abomination

my dog would like to register her strong objection to this claim

right, I also always feel like I should probably apologize to like the OCHA chief who probably followed me because of my work and I'm over here shitposting about chonky squirrels or something

sorry to all those of you who followed me because of some fun post

this is remarkable student journalism, and seems to hinge on the principle of informed consent: it's not clear whether the bodies are coming from donation to the university or from California's Office of Decedent Affairs, where there can be no consent because the bodies being donated were unclaimed

What an utter disgrace. Noem's actions to "vacate" Secretary Mayorkas' grant of TPS over the direct command in the statute that no early termination can be done was flagrantly unlawful. And yet the majority offers not a SINGLE word of explanation for why they think she could do that.

Shameless!

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

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong.

this is what happens you let millennials run for office (complimentary)

A yellow cardboard carton on a CVS shelf with brightly colored letters that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” and “statue of liberty chicken.” Inside the carton are hot pink, teal, and royal blue rubber chickens with googly eyes rendered like the Statue of Liberty, with their faces distressed and frozen in a shriek. They have tags around their necks that say “squeeze me to hear me scream”

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

it's so annoying when you have to hand it to him

An ICE agent inside 26 Federal Plaza outside an immigration hearing, his glasses branded “Nemesis,” reflect the journalists documenting him in the hallway. Following Tuesday’s incident at 26 Federal Plaza, the image underscores the tense dynamic between press and ICE agents inside the building.

it's also very fun to take some time to describe an image as well as you can, or at least to try and convey the sense of why you're sharing it to someone who won't know otherwise. describing a visual joke is a real trip. if you like words, alt text is another opportunity to be precise with them!

Image of a bust Walter Cronkite at the Walker Cronkite Memorial in St. Joseph, Missouri

Believers in the free press have begun a 24/7 vigil as Madonna-like tears start flowing miraculously down the cheeks of a statue at the Walter Cronkite Memorial in St. Joseph Missouri.

I don't necessarily believe in ghosts but I do believe there's a good chance Walter Cronkite has one and we've made it angry

what the hell

Capital punishment: What it means that Trump reinstated the death penalty in D.C. D.C. did away with the death penalty 44 years ago, but the president is bringing it back.

It got lost in other news, but last week President Trump reinstated the death penalty in D.C., where it hasn't been used in 70 years. For @51st.news I did a dive into what exactly Trump's policy change means, who might be impacted, and what residents can do to push back: 51st.news/trump-reinst...

Fascists have no place in civil society, and we must chase them out everywhere they appear.

When we don't, fascism gets normalized. You can see the consequences -- a fascist regime in power.

Our task is to reestablish the civic boundaries that mainstream institutions helped fascists dismantle.

We don’t need to know who the US is killing in these fishing boats to know these acts are crimes for which the US government should face international and domestic consequences; that we don’t even know who the US is killing in these boats is an additional set of crimes and transgressions
