Yea it was like after all the questions about family history and it just kinda made my alarm bells go up a bit >__<

Plus they already asked earlier in the form if any of my family members had any conditions from the list and I did my usual thing of crossing things out and writing “ADOPTED” so like idk xD

Exactly like the timing is just very sus to me. Like maybe I wouldn’t think that if this kind of thing wasn’t going on but like in the current political context it’s a really jarring question with really concerning implications

This is why we refuse to switch to video podcasts even though the pressure is real and everyone else seems to have switched over >__< like the whole point was to not have to necessarily be on camera either it’s like if they started making ppl “watch” radio shows it’s just weird like why

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job”

First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.

Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work.

Third, no one should starve to death.

Democracy requires decency.

Our democracy is devolving because we neglected to demand common decency of the most powerful individual in our country; the President.

Donald Trump’s Deep-State Wrecking Ball Russell Vought is using the White House budget office to lay waste to the federal bureaucracy—firing workers, decimating agencies, and testing the rule of law.

🚨NEW: After we revealed Russ Vought's "put them in trauma" video, I spent the next year reporting on him, his influence, and his vision for America.

Yes, I got *new* recordings & videos of Vought.

Here is the story.

by pure numbers, the women's march was also bigger than the CRM.

What gains have women made since 2017? Not only did we lose bodily autonomy, but y'all also reelected the motherfucker.

I need white people to stop being ridiculous.

Can't have universal healthcare or UBI because you have to be tied to an employer for basic needs and healthcare so you won't do something crazy like leave if the boss is abusive or work exploitative.

Can't have work-from-home because we have to prop up commercial real estate investors.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.

This happened to Maria Greeley bc she’s a latina adoptee. Having a yt name and presumably yt adoptive parents did not protect her from racial profiling and ICE detainment. Her legal citizen documents weren’t good enough bc she didn’t look the part. This will happen to many more transracial adoptees

ICE Detains Citizen After Saying She Doesn't She even had her U.S. passport on her.

This is exactly what I’ve been afraid of this whole time. This could be me one day. My looks don’t match my name bc I am an adoptee. I have a yt passing name but that might just make my documents look fake. apple.news/AGcAMupaYRsy...

Are the voice memos on the so punk on the internet version different in any way from the voice memos that were previously released with the other smaller digital albums? They look the same just name-wise.

Like I want to hear the acoustic songs but I am not buying a cd player just for that. I wish she’d included them on the different vinyl variants or let us download/stream them.

Also who owns a cd player anymore? Most laptops don’t even have a disc slot and cars barely do either anymore

South Bay folks, close your windows and mask up. If you're driving, set air to recycle. The Chevron refinery in El Segundo just blew up.
