That vid going around with the high school ice supporter is such a clear distillation of how they expect protection from the social contract while actively violating it.

I'm so glad that kid punched him, knowing full well he'd get in trouble. Assholes use social norms as a shield.

Surely this is what “great again” looks like, right?…right?

America has become the worst kind of jokes under this administration.

You know we have crossed a rubicon when a for-profit company tries to stop the government from illegal actions against its citizens.

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.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Had me excited with the intro. *sigh*

Hate to see it, but I have yet to see a justified reason to ask for my #biometrics or drivers license.

Much less in order to use an application IVE BEEN USING FOR NEARLY A DECADE.

Esp considering #Discord’s history & the prevalence in #supplychainattacks. 🥶

And a huge thank you to you and others for the time, effort, sweat, and tears to help ensure ppl know what is going on.

For those who believe “there’ll be no co sequences”, then get up and do your part to make sure there will be.

Call your reps. Protest. Demand accountability. Accept no excuses.

“I don’t understand why we’re pretending any of this is normal.”

Honestly, same.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Listen, people: We cannot have secret police in the U.S.

Masks are intended to stifle any accountability by ICE/CBP operatives.

It is indefensible in a functional democracy.

Period. Full stop.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I prefer to blame the decades of politicians working to systematically degrade and dismantle the US #education system.

But I wouldn’t absolve “reality” tv from all negative effects it had…I mean, how many ppl voted Trump because he was “a good businessman”, courtesy of #TheApprentice. 🤦‍♂️

#TrumpRx looks incredibly similar to #GoodRx. Are there any tangible differences between the two pharmaceutical programs?

Just hit the final part of Wizard and Glass (book 4 of #TheDarkTower by @stephenking.bsky.social) and man…what a wild ride this series has been so far.

The story of Roland’s katet trying to steady a slowly deteriorating world is hitting a little differently now vs my previous read thru…

Yes I will watch a 20 minute video essay about Animorphs. Don't you know how old I am?

I keep looking at the #ShadowDocket rulings and thinking about early #Bleach when Ichigo discovers that the ruling council had been removed for a while…and some hidden figure had been sending out rulings in their place.

Thats what this feels like. No context. Little explanation. Corruption. #SCOTUS

Did anyone look at the ratio between tickets bought and tickets used for admission?

“Words seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today," the actor said. "I had the honor of knowing and working with the great Catherine O'Hara for over fifty years." "From our beginnings on the Second City stage, to SCTV, to the movies we did with Chris Guest, to our six glorious years on Schitt's Creek, I cherished our working relationship, but most of all our friendship," Eugene continued. "And I will miss her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke, and the entire O'Hara family."”

Feel bad for Eugene Levy 😥

Don't turn away MAGAs, don't you dare f*ckin' turn away!

Today more “Epstein File” docs were released by the U.S. Justice Dept. Shortly after release, a number of pages were removed. But not before being saved by various internet folks. These three images are from the pages that were removed. They are hard to read and will be triggering for SA survivors.
