Ope there it is

Yes. And drs engage in small talk while doing the procedures. So there’s an expectation of polite conversation all the while.

How many armed masked men did it take to terrorize a community…

A quarter of FBI agents are assigned to immigration enforcement, per FBI data Nearly a quarter of FBI agents are currently assigned to immigration enforcement, with the number climbing above 40 percent in the bureau’s largest field offices.

71% of immigrants in detention have no criminal convictions.

Yet still, 1 in 4 FBI agents have been pulled from cybercrimes, drug trafficking & anti-terrorism assignments to do immigration enforcement. This will hurt our national security.

Petitioners would like you to stop picking on them when they’re getting signatures to let them pick on kids.

Ugh. Hawley. Stupid autocorrect.

Being a history teacher right now is wild. I literally just taught middle schoolers about Hoover, Smoot-Harley & the ag. marketing act. We know how this story ends.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Don’t forget they will burn it all down to keep non-white people from getting things. #governmentshutdown

This is ridiculous.

To be clear, this is what this administration thinks of women in leadership positions

Their "DEI" panic nonsense very much includes white women

"I thought you were the party of peace" uhhh no bullies count on you being the bigger man. We are the party of mutual respect. If you don't give any, you don't get any.

94 million pounds of healthy food withheld from people in need. The cruelty is the point.

Also, part of why this framing is important is that US political media is incredibly reluctant to make values judgements about policies, but very willing to attack dishonesty and hypocrisy - which is theoretically value-free - and this is the most extraordinary political dishonesty in US history.

Nice to have Bremerton service back

Zip tie cuffs are incredibly painful, by the way

Our QSA decided this year’s Halloween party would be 1 week early and would kick off 6 days of LQBTQIA+ Halloween theme days ending with costumes on Halloween itself — because this year sucks and queer joy makes everything better.
❤️❤️❤️

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

The U.S. is heading towards a federal government shutdown. What does that actually mean? The Congressional Budget Office's director says a short shutdown doesn't have a huge impact on the economy but over time there's "a negative impact."

Republicans control the entire U.S. government: both chambers of Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court. They are the only ones to blame for a government shutdown. Full stop. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

If your "fight for democracy" doesn't include me, don't be surprised if I walk away while throwing you the finger.

The government is NOT shutting down because of transgender people. STOP TRYING TO BLAME THEM FOR EVERYTHING!

Like, this specific department is literally using assaults of women in their ads telling immigrants to self deport and touting ICE. Protecting women only matters when it's useful to spread fear and hate against marginalized groups.

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women "This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

Tell me again how this party's policies are all about "protecting women."

Heritage Foundation Uses Bogus Stat to Push a Trans Terrorism Classification By inflating numbers and narrowing definitions, Heritage promotes a false link between transgender identity and violence in its push for the FBI to create a new terrorism category.

Some Friday Fuckery to chew on. Heritage is promoting a false link between transgender identity and violence by juking the stats around school shootings.

The data is very clear that the biggest danger in America is coming from white nationalists.

Democrats don’t understand their job isn’t to explain to turn and explain to the audience why they’re the good guy, it’s to be the good guys and let the audience cheer for them

“The future of American trans people hangs in the balance. A lot of hard-fought rights and freedoms depend on whether the Democratic party decides to stand up for trans equality—or to meekly follow Republicans down their reactionary path.”

It’s so weird how drivers killing cyclists and pedestrians always seems to be framed as a problem everyone but drivers are responsible for solving.

Evidence:
1. It took them 6 tries to get this passed
2. It imposes impossible fines on a pop whose unemployment equals the US in the Great Depression so there’s no way people can pay it.
3. It prevents especially vulnerable people (homeless, incarcerated) from being safe
4. It targets kids

I used to think that targeting and demonizing trans people was just a cold calculation politicians made because attracting bigots got them the votes needed for unpopular plans…but everything about these measures shows the hate and bigotry is the entire point. 1/2

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

This is framing nails it.
