the reason american fascists are so obsessed with patriotism is that america has always been a fascist shithole

liberals say “this is un-american!!!” as if they’ve never learned anything about our history

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

The amount of schadenfreude I felt when Ilia botched his free skate was immense.

everyone’s saying “people are NIMBYs about concentration camps” and yeah, I don’t want a concentration camp in my neighborhood, or anywhere

you know who I don’t mind in my neighborhood?

free immigrants, undocumented or otherwise

A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities. Stay safe. Fuck ICE.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.

In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

breaking: we've stolen the future from our children to finance our 7th houses, yet they still go on eating and drinking

Still think it's really fucked up that the President can target a whole state and terrorize it and do ethnic cleansing and whatnot and life just goes on I guess without impeachment or a government shutdown or something.

I was very late staying Hollow Knight, but I finally finished it and have moved on to Silksong.

HOW MANY FUCKING PHASES DOES THE FOURTH CHORUS HAVE I'M LOSING MY MIND

‼️ An Al Jazeera investigation reports that high-temperature weapons, including thermobaric and thermal munitions, were used in Gaza, leaving thousands of Palestinians with no recoverable remains.

Yes I know the SAVE Act hypothetically should not have the votes but just call them anyway, would you? I hate the phone with a fiery passion and I promise it's more annoying for me to make a phone call than it is for you, which is to say--I believe in you!

This might be a hot take, but if parents are so concerned about what their kids see online, then they should actually do some damn parenting themselves instead of campaigning for governments to make things worse for everyone.

Fragile white dudes: "It's like you blame white men for everything just because we specifically excluded everyone else from the decisions we made that are causing all the world's most pressing problems!"

Yup.

“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Just last week watched Sir Ian McKellen perform this live on stage in Chicago.

Strongly recommend.

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

My print of RefuJesus is my favorite of my images of Christ. It depicts the suffering humanity inflicts on humanity. Why are there still wars, displacements, genocides? Why do we insist on continuing to cause such existential suffering on others? Because of a piece of land or what lies beneath it??

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

They say you’re going to halve your audience if you don’t appeal to both sides.

But they also talk about being on the “right side” of history… Funny how that happens.

I guess I should be happy that my mom thinks *one* of the murders in Minneapolis was unjustified....

Watching political people crawl all over themselves trying to claim #Epstein was ONLY working for the camp they hate.

Instead of being worried about the victims and where many of their babies went. This is why we are in this mess, because politics corruption and power are more important to them.

'My own government attempted to execute me,' Chicago woman shot by Border Patrol testifies Marimar Martinez said she believes that she survived her encounter with Border Patrol agents so she could share her story.

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs

1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--"

The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

If you saw a basketball team throw games this blatantly, you would call for them to lose their charter to the league.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.

Bacterial meningitis is spreading among children in Gaza, including those who are vaccinated. Officials say conditions in Gaza's displacement camps, widespread malnutrition, and Israeli bans on the entry of medicines are increasing the deadly risk.
