I also don’t think that children who might grow up to be sex workers or drug users deserve to suffer from preventable diseases

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

The thoughts of an economic depression are depressing

you are no longer allowed to have imposter syndrome.

not after this bari omgwtf weiss situation.

you're literally not allowed to feel imposter syndrome ANYMORE

doesn't surprise me at all, google glass had maybe the quickest "this is neat, actually wait a minute this is awful" backlash of any major tech product I've ever seen

"I'm not sure if you're recording me" is deeply offputting to basically everyone

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Let's be clear, agent provocateurs ARE in PDX trying to start shit. The risk of a false flag attack IS high.

That's bc PDXers commit to nonviolence in the face of ICE agents' violence + law breaking. We don't take the bait. ICE is extreme, brutal, unhinged. We are normal - if quirky - Americans.

as always, the most accurate summation of modern politics ever created

i'm on a million of the most hateful lists you can imagine, but sure, let's draw the line here

Homocons never think that the people they're allying will come for them when those people no longer need the alliance.

I think we should be more worried about the murders of random fishermen.

The soldiers who followed those orders need to go to jail, along with everyone in the chain of command.

Dear Martha,

The pissed off grandmas have us surrounded. Soon they will stab us to death with their knitting needles, eat our flesh, and make onesies for their grandbabies out of our skins. And if we're very, very lucky, they'll do in that order.

Give my guns my love.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Once again MAGA just makes up shit to justify their fascism.
