It’s No Kings protest day AND Frankenstein theatrical release weekend, but I have the immune system of a Victorian orphan.

No feds on the tl. If you make me see what these clowns are blathering on here, I will mute or block you.

The comma, punk, is implied

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

Every time you see Mike Davis do Mike Davis things, think about Gorsuch reportedly helping land Davis a job at DOJ, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the 10th Circuit, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the Supreme Court.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Vinyl copy of D’Angelo Voodoo now on my record player

Just an unbelievable loss. To hell with cancer. What a tremendous artist. D’Angelo would have put out nothing short of masterpieces for as long as he lived, I’m certain of it. #NowPlaying Voodoo, Virgin 2000

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

The Onion can re-run this today with D’Angelo swapped in for Prince

I can’t believe Matt Stoller was being smug and off-putting online

It was a powerful day. I'm pleased to have been a part of it. This was the closest thing to the protests of the '60 that we'd seen. It was brutal, yet lives were saved. But the cops also learned new tactics from those demonstrations. We have to find new tactics and this will for change again.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

Is it cancel culture when they threaten to kill you?

Man, people’s reaction to Bad Bunny is such a mirror to the rot in this country. Your heart is so filled with dog shit that you can’t hear someone sing in Spanish? Grow up

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous.

the epstein files aren’t dropping & this isn’t a distraction from them.

this is a fascist setting up the field to eliminate every point of friction that might impede an attempt to seize absolute power.

quippy posts about epstein are delaying your realization of, & motivation to fight, that fact.

On the whole I prefer being alive instead of dead so I guess I’ll go to work tomorrow

I had all these grand accomplishments that I intended for the weekend but instead I got anxious and bought a bunch of old speculative/sci-fi books on the internet

Been thinking all day about how nuts this is and how it should really be big news but it seems like it won't be!
