Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

The IRS broke the law by disclosing confidential information to ICE 42,695 times, judge says A federal judge said that the IRS broke the law by illegally sharing thousands of taxpayers’ addresses with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A federal judge said Thursday that the IRS broke the law by disclosing confidential taxpayer information “approximately 42,695 times” to ICE, in most of those cases giving ICE additional address information in violation of privacy rules created to protect taxpayer data.

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

What trains though?

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

At best, enablers.

Okay, caught up on the event. Where do I apply to reclaim my time?

That’s it, now I’ll block you too. (Jk)

Curious who was attacked by furries.

I’m sorry, she was attacked by furries? How? For what?

I wasn’t aware of it. Jeez…

Weird to block a survivor without first checking their background.

*exempted

Yeah. Surprised but 🤷🏽‍♀️

(Apologies for typos)

(Cont) but the combination of gender and extreme wealth seem to produce a different sort of phenomenon. Or maybe not, but it sure seems like the ruling class view themselves as excepted from the rules of morality due in part to their economic status (which they take as proxy for moral superiority).

I can’t see what Moira said, but that sounds like a plausible claim. Her gender made her less of a beneficiary. But you can’t just separate out the gender and wealth/power dynamics here. Yes, men of call economic classes are by far outnumber women among rapists.

I can’t see the exchange becuase I seem to have been blocked too. That’s a shame, but everyone is entirely to curate their space.

You get them on what you can? Mobsters went to prison on RICO chargers, not for conspiracy to commit murder, extortion, etc.

But while I agree that using this as a metaphor for economic crimes is wrong, I just don’t see that this wrong is taking place?

It would, ofc, look exactly the same same as what we have now.

(And, no, that’s not to say that the election wasn’t legitimate; but it is to say that the outcome is identical).

Today is the four year anniversary of the barbaric full scale invasion against the peaceful people of Ukraine.

Peaceful, until roused to defend themselves….

Slava Ukrainii

I don’t know that’s it’s been made a metaphor. I see it as referring to the very real phenomenon of what happens when (men and female enablers) are given immense wealth and, with it, almost unlimited power.

“Billionaire bosses denounce work-life balance.” 🙄🙄

"People have to give birth in their homes in secret, because if they were to go to a hospital to have their baby, masked agents of the state would abduct them....This is lived reality right now."

@jvl.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on what they saw in Minneapolis.

“It’s also possible they [federal immigration agents] know the baby is in bad health, and they don’t want to be responsible for what may happen to him in their care, so they deport them,” Castro told me.

It wouldn’t be the fist time they tried to bury the bodies this way. Monsters.

When the little one doesn’t finish her meatball …

RFK Jr. May Eliminate the USPSTF, Original Task Force Members Warn

Every single step that the anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr takes to dismantle the US medical, public health, & health research systems is incredibly painful & distressing

This one would hit so hard

Without the USPSTF, evidence-based screening & prevention would crumble 😢

These thieves keep stealing blueprints from my theft empire!

Sure, in an ideal world. But in the actual world, people who identify masculinity with traditionally masculine virtues like “strength” need a new definition of what it means to be strong.
