lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

as the person who kicked off a lot of the modern "civil war 2" discourse i don't think we're past the point where that can be avoided. i do think we are already in a state of mass civil conflict. but many nations (see: Italy) have been through similar upheavals without war.

This is notable because the government isn’t supposed to indefinitely hold people in immigration detention just for funsies if it doesn’t plan to remove the person any time soon. Abrego’s counsel has raised SCOTUS case law to that effect in seeking his release

The government said it was going to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda. Then it said Eswatini.

But today, a DOJ attorney just told a federal judge that they haven't formalized a plan for removal yet. They apparently haven't even contacted Eswatini about the plan to remove Abrego there.

Everyone should go buy trans books before I get disappeared for bringing up the Trust and Safety gooning incident.

@unraveledpress.com & other press have been threatened, shot with less-lethals and arrested while reporting on federal immigration activities in Chicagoland and on the resulting protests at Broadview.

I'm now at a hearing asking the federal court to rein ICE & co in. I'll let you know how it goes.

you can say your purpose is the protocol and that can be true, but it's also true that once you run a social media site you are a social media company. you can no longer brush off bad moderation with "just roll your own" after you attract millions of people to your app. that's absurd.

They are in urgent need of buying some mattresses, pillows, and tarps. The cost is around $500.

WIC, SNAP benefits at risk in Georgia if shutdown continues WIC could run out of funds within weeks, and SNAP enrollees are also vulnerable if the shutdown extends beyond October.

Some states are also stating their SNAP programs are going to run out of funds as well. SNAP is a monthly allotment but is disbursed throughout the month based usually on alphanumeric schedules. Georgia has raised the alarm. www.axios.com/local/atlant...

Government shutdown threatens WIC food program used by millions of families Experts say a food aid program that helps 6 million low-income mothers and young children will run out of federal money unless the government shutdown ends within two weeks.

www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

WIC looks to be the first government assistance program to be disrupted entirely, meaning they’re going to run out of funds in as little as a week to two weeks, due to the government shutdown.

While other programs have a month or more emergency funds. WIC does not have enough to make it that long.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

And just as the third place presidential candidate destroyed his own campaign over the weekend, the right wing Fine Gael Humphreys has damaged hers, by being anti-LGBTQ. Here she is sharing far right pseudoscience talking points. FG were historically a fascist party:

I really need people to understand that my work, like much of harm reduction work, is a necessary evil. In a world without a carceral state, without evictions, without homelessness or institutional racism, I'd be obsolete.

And I can't wait.
