"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Unannounced Child "Wellness Checks" by Armed Federal Agents Raise Concerns - Institute for Public Service Reporting - Memphis % % %

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

A central part of ICE's strategy here is to keep detainees hungry and thirsty in squalor to incentivize them to sign self-deportation papers to escape their inhumane conditions. And of course, they also lie to their captives about what they are signing.

It’s definitely a really good idea for a state where the main business is tourism to become famous for outbreaks of diseases

Police once charged a man w assaulting a cop bc of the liquid he β€œthrew” on the cop.

The liquid? The man’s blood. Which was flying off his face. Which the cop had just punched.

Far too often the cops arrest ppl for the harms done by the police.

I’m hoping we are seeing a critical overreach now.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

In Earnings Calls, Private Prison Executives Revel in Profiting Off ICE Arrests β€œOur business is perfectly aligned with the demands of this moment,” CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger said on the call.

Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings callsβ€”despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call β€œNazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

This is the very first appearance of Dr. Teeth, on March 18, 1975, promoting the upcoming MUPPET SHOW: SEX & VIOLENCE special. It’s remarkable to see how comfortable Jim Henson was both performing & improvising this brand new character, & just how fully-formed he already was...

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because β€œwe’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

The real angle is that it’s draining money and resources when SNAP is gonna end. Anyone that supports Trump does not care about the sanctity of it as a symbol and anyone that already hates Trump is in the same position they were

Trump demolishing the East Wing of the White House to build the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom is a bigger priority to him than doing anything to help the American people, including re-opening our fucking government.

It's incredible just how on the ball trans people were about those US think tanks influencing British politics, going to great length to detail all these links and connections, only for it to fall on deaf ears because of how aggressively trans people were frozen out and disenfranchised.

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
