Shit, I'd even take Hochul.

Am I crazy of does this sick fuck look like a relative of Mitch McConnell? Birds of a feather, I swear to glob

Ok. I didn't get pain meds for over 2 hours post surgery for my emergency c-section under general anesthesia when my twins were ripped out of me.

Nothing like feeling your body after getting little people cut out of it.

An Epstein survivor made serious allegations against President Trump that she says happened when she was a minor — serious enough that the FBI interviewed her multiple times.

Yet, those files have now gone missing. There has never been a bigger cover up in modern American history. End it now.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

but yes, if they aren't allowed to just shoot minnesotans in the face, they're hoping they can kill people by denying them healthcare.

A U.S. veteran adopted an orphan from Iran. Decades later, ICE is trying to deport her The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith.

tweet from lisa desjardins reporting SOTU might be up to 3 hours long

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

The people most severely assaulted by ICE/CBP in Minnesota are dead, but glad someone from there will be at SOTU to represent the damage done.

Begging bsky devs to add a "remove from replies" option. Part of the reason why going viral is such a hassle is that every single reply and every single reply to a reply hits up my notifications. So when randos start arguing with each other, I GET TAGGED IN ALL OF IT. I want to remove myself.
