minnesota coming together to show us all how to stand up against ICE is such a beautiful display of what solidarity looks like

it feels terrible to suddenly be one of those people who absolutely hates their job

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

In honor of Letterer Appreciation Day, double-check that your layout has enough room for them to do their work!

Obligatory repost

We MUST end affirmative action for white men (racism) they are simply Not Sending Their Best

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Honestly, say what you will about Netflix, Hulu and Amazon (and you can say a LOT) but most of the time, if I'm watching dubs on those services, there'll be subtitles for on screen text, even if they aren't great ones.

That I can't say the same for CR despite them being soley anime focused is nuts

Monsters. Irredeemable. Unreformable.

There is no technical or administrative fix for this, this is not a matter of training. This isn’t about policy at all.

As a matter of democratic self-defense, ICE must not be tolerated.

When these fascists say it's okay to kidnap, abuse, and terrorize people because they're "illegal," please think of them saying it's okay to kidnap, abuse, and terrorize people because they have "parking tickets."

Same goddamn thing.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.

Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

one of the very most deeply wired of human instincts is "this is not fair" and that's why we try to build societies that are either fair or (more likely) lie to us about being fair

what these people are doing is breaking that contract in favor of "fuck you I'm doing this because I can"

the incredulous "this is bullshit, are you fucking kidding" tone here is a sign that you have turned someone into a lifelong radical against you and people like you

this is a stupid tactic used by stupid people who don't have any other ideas

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

It’s not that I think a general strike wouldn’t work. I absolutely think a general strike would work. My problem is that you folks want to skip to the end but you get angry and defensive about discussing the road through.

There is no infrastructure in place to initiate, let alone sustain a strike.

Previous to the revolution Benjamin Franklin and George Washington issued warrants and rewards for scalp bounties on the Lenape/Delaware.
then once they took power from the crown they sent a militia from PA down to Ohio to literally finish the job. This is America.

the ink wasn't even dry on the first congressional papers when George Washington and Henry Knox, allowed and then covered up the massacre of Gnudenhutten

i cut my hair recently, have a self portrait

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.

Tamir Rice. Aiyana Jones. Emmitt Till. Bombs them when they're in church.

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns

the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

Please raise funds to save this kid. Save this family. Do not act like this child is the first or the last

In my neighborhood black boys and Spanish boys were raised with the talk that cops are dangerous they kill

My dads generation had that and the gen before and etc etc

Be so for real

America arrests kids

Taser them
Disappear them

Shoot them in the street bc they had skittles

Where the fuck have you been

I feel like this kid will get memory holed by so many of you and that’s so unfair to this child

But I’ve seen this before

And every time yall act like this is the first time

What the fuck do people think the detainment camps with children in them were?

Why do yall immediately erase every brown child that has been arrested and imprisoned

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers
