terrifying
Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:
Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down
Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged
Thuggish violence against observers: Way up
"The people tearing these loved ones apart are often the very same people who have spent so much of the past several years lecturing the American people, and in particular American women, about the importance of parenthood and family," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.
Students at Tech High School in St. Cloud walked out today in support of EACH OTHER
Things the speakers can be heard saying:
"We stand here in support of our Somali brothers and sisters and our immigrant community”
"Never let them tell you your voice doesn't matter"
🚨This needs to be heard. It is beyond chilling. 1/
it's "communist" but the ACA is called a healthcare "marketplace" with plans from healthcare companies that charge us money, FFS. what is wrong with these people
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.
Insulating Republicans from consequences is never the answer
a minor detail here but most folks who don't even have employer healthcare (and thus use ACA) don't have FSAs, either. This is a wildly preposterous idea, anyway.
LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable
The stuff on Grokpedia relating to immigration is terrible. Lots of serious errors, lots of fake facts, lots of citations to a single biased source, lots of nakedly biased writing... it's just as bad as you'd expect.
It’s too bad only farmers are people and not librarians or artists or healthcare workers or researchers.
Don’t Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House? Asking for a friend.
:) Doing so will cut your grocery bills in half, if you don't overdo the processed stuff and eat beans, tofu, lentils. tempeh. 🌱
so thune thinks the shutdown lasts until Rump creates this new unicorn of a healthplan???
thank you!
DON’T FORGET THEM:
This shutdown will severely hurt federally contracted workers, who WILL NOT GET back-pay.
This includes thousands of SEIU members who are security officers, office cleaners, and food service workers.
These workers will be forced to rely on public assistance (what’s left of it).

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life
Hegseth is on an extended riff about how "war" is a better word than "defense" and it's like listening to a 7-year-old
I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.
I'm talking about something very different.
Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.
Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.
But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿♂️
News organizations need to stop calling “immigration judges” — executive branch employees — judges in headlines.
Doing so does virtually the only thing a headline should never do: It confuses the reader.
Tommy Tuberville, arguably the dumbest senator to ever be elected, figured out how to hold up hundreds of military promotions for almost a year because he had a tantrum about abortion.
Dems need to treat this like the emergency it is and use the tools that normal citizens don’t have.
seeing it tomorrow in Boston (ok, the Somerville Theatre).
As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout.
Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king.
They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
