For profit mass incarceration facilities for immigrants have no place in our community.
Thank you to our local leaders in King County for issuing this moratorium on detention facilities in our region.

We got the loud sirens on our phone "get to the basement now" tornado warning and this is really unusual for Pittsburgh and the expansion of tornado activity here as a result of climate change is not something people are really prepared for. This is nervewracking.
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
Vaccines save lives.
That’s it. That’s the post.
Wait wait wait wait wait
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
I know I already posted about this but it bugs me so much. People will be like "I don't want robots that write sonnets so I can work harder, I want robots that work hard so I can write sonnets", or whatever.
Well here's one mfer shut up and eat your incredible cornucopia of cheap, bountiful fruit.
A lot of people don't get it. You can make yourself. God that must scare some people. The vertigo it must induce. The seething envy. But you can. You don't have to be trans, you can do whatever you want.
remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination
The thing that bugs me the most here is that Trump, a man who dodged the draft, is saluting. You are genuinely not supposed to salute if you're a lifelong civilian. You're supposed to remove your hat and put your hand over your heart.
Stolen valor, right here.
literally why would you advocate for a policy which 1) is objectively bad 2) helps your opponents and 3) is something they would gladly implement
remember that time Howard Dean made a weird noise and it ended his political career
can we get that but for nazi tattoos and transphobia
like this is already such a shitshow and so many more people are going to die and not a single person in the entire administration is smart enough to go "okay the best time to pull out of this was before we started but the second best time is right the fuck now"
Are we gonna try to come up with a reason why shooting protestors in Iran is bad but doing it in Bahrain is good or are we just going to pretend we do not see it?
Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.
Danish Defense Minister: Continue.
WATER STRANGER
Jefferson didn’t believe that Black folks could be integrated into democracy post slavery because they would be unable to let go of their legitimate grievances.
I’m thinking the same is going to be true if we survive this presidency.
a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.
well hey would you look at that
FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
Oh, wow. So this hospital took her money, scheduled her procedure, and then once she was on the table, waiting to begin - they canceled her surgery! so now she has to find another doctor, go through the whole thing again, AND she has to extract a mf’ing refund from these religious fascists
Unfortunately the reality is that cops have a history of killing people by dropping them off in inhospitable places. In Canada it’s called a “starlight tour” when cops detain an Indigenous person and then drop them off miles from home in the wilderness, sometimes causing them to freeze to death
I think I’ve figured out why so many women are with men who very clearly dislike them.
Patriarchy teaches men to despise women, and it also teaches women to distrust men who can actually relate to women, because it treats other women as competition.
If you think all that’s stopping your male partner from cheating is a lack of access to women, why the FUCK are you with him?
If you can’t trust him to socialize with women and not cheat, why the FUCK are you with him?
Oh, does it feel bad when someone scrapes all your hard work to make their product without giving you credit? What a shame.
If I can't get a job I am qualified for, simply because I am trans, then that affects my access to a fair paycheck.
This is simple.
Should a 4th grade trans girl be allowed to play rec basketball with her friends? Yes. No question.
Should a trans woman who went through male puberty be allowed to compete in women's weightlifting at the Olympics? I think the Olympics should decide under what circumstances (if any) that'd be ok.
As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.
What happened at BAFTA makes me recall how, more often then not, when racism occurs and that's pointed out, people often rush to comfort and defend the perpetrator, not the victims.
Stunning to me that no one official even SPOKE to Jordan/Lindo after. No one paused to imagine how that felt.
