Chae!

Does malic acid actually add a distinct flavor to a recipe?

God I just love that nerdy Gen X man’s “bye Felicia!” Bless him!!!! 💖😆

Same here. 38 years old and still learning something new *every* day!

Read the 6th paragraph, in particular: "fore is not a punishment. It's nota tool to assert dominance. It's not something you use because someone doesn't comply fast enough or says the wrong thing."

Alex Pretti wasn't resisting arrest. From the start, he was the victim of an assault.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

@tonyhawktruther american: i can't afford the doctor european: Ö you don't hjåve hjëalthcare for frëe? Very fjünny because here in EU we are riding trølley or mjötorbike to djöctor at no cjøst, in fact is considered rüde not to

Bless up, bless up.

We are living through the total moral collapse of the United States of America.
Folks get touchy about the Nazi Germany comparisons but I cannot think of a more apt comparison, at least in the modern history of developed democracies.

reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”

You’re correct about all of this, *except* for the fact that it goes (best to worst) red - purple - blue - orange - yellow.

In fact most of the proposals I see tossed around appear designed to make immigration arrests more seamless and less upsetting, rather than actually reduce the number of people arrested and sent to jail.

Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here.

The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

As someone who has followed you since Twitter this makes me grin because, same. 😂

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

You can always tell a Milford man.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Underappreciated banana-pants news of the day.

Chuck Schumer demanding ICE agent masks be pride colors

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).

The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

I cannot stress how completely bizarre & unheard of it is for the DNI to be personally present for a search warrant execution, never mind this one.

there are so many things i'd like to see in a dem-controlled world but one of them is a desire to kneecap X and grind it into a shriveled husk

Crackdown Writing through history and heartbreak.

“Minnesotans’ relentlessness offers a blueprint for how to react when ICE inevitably arrives to stir up trouble where there was none; how to look violence dead in the eye and say not in my town; how to provide aid laterally when you know those at the top won’t be passing any down.”

The way @repilhan squared up she would have knocked that confederate taint back to Reconstruction

Here's @charles01.bsky.social's summary in the @liberalcurrents.com Discord, which I found nice and succinct:

Thinking about what Walter Benjamin wrote about how the tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the state of emergency is not the exception but the rule

I hope we understand we are all shift workers to get through this. Because we need to take the shifts we can in love of those who can’t.

Inmate: Charles Victor Thompson #999306 Execution Date: January 28, 2026 Pronounced Deceased: 6:50 p.m. Last Statement: "Yes, I would like to say that I hope the victim’s family, their extended family, and their loved ones can find forgiveness in their heart and that you can begin to heal and move past this. There is no winners in this situation, it creates more victims and traumatizes more people twenty-eight years later. I’m sorry for what I did, I’m sorry for what happened, and I want to tell all of y’all, I love you and that keep Jesus in your life, keep Jesus first. To my children, get to know the Lord, and I love you all. That’s it Warden."

Tonight Texas executed Charles Thompson. These were his last words:

The opposition gets its shit together and the oligarchs are *fucked*

The money is spooked. They saw what was being built in Minnesota communities and realized it was the roots of an insurgency if the feds kept pushing. These actions are the kinds of things that would push us to a civil conflict. It happened before in the 1850s with fugitive slave patrols.
