The move for Republicans would be to try to blame Dems for SNAP cuts by blaming the shutdown on them. But they can't help themselves. They hate the poor too much!

a cool disruptive fact to bring up at thanksgiving this year is that 53% of homeless people are employed.

tarantino movie called “don’t get the discord subpoenaed” which is about a bunch of people who try really hard to not get the discord subpoenaed (but the discord is gonna get subpoenaed)

Even in a "designated conflict," it's a war crime. Targeting random civilians violates every society in the UN.

not sure if it’s obvious by now but i’ve got orders to monitor ICE activity and, as usual, i’d appreciate any help bsky has to offer. if you gotta tip, my signal account is in my bio.

i’m very mechanical. i can track things. data. paperwork. but i could always use help w/ people.

It took years of shaming before we got NYT to call torture torture (they used Enhanced Interrogation Technique).

Open to suggestions how we accelerate the process here.

M-U-R-D-E-R

remember when elon musk was still in government and DOGE still active and they pretended for like a week rampent social security fraud was happening, and then it turned out they just didn’t understand that databases would include people who passed away and we never heard about this “fraud” again lol

Due to an overwhelming amount of Nonsense going on in the US farm sector, I am in need of a half-time to full-time video editor

Anybody know someone who is 1) real good at it and 2) not heinously overemployed already?

Exclusive | Trump Administration Fires Fannie Mae Ethics Officials The dismissals come after the chief ethics officer was recently pushed out, according to people familiar with the matter.

“The Trump administration has fired about a dozen officials within Fannie Mae’s ethics and internal investigations unit, removing some guardrails meant to address and head off misconduct, according to people familiar with the matter.”

you can dress it up all kinds of ways but the argument basically boils down to this guy putting his commitment to being a soldier over his commitment to the values of the constitution

it's a fundamentally morally vacuous position

I left after this. It’s pretty clear Cville PD can’t guarantee the data isn’t abused. It’s not clear that the costs of Flock are at all worth the benefits.

I’m at the Friends of Downtown Community meeting to skeet about the Flock pilot program results.

The Walton family surely does

“The enemy gets a vote” is something fascist love to forget

Again, this is why I think that the assassination of Charlie Kirk shook the right so much. The right had convinced themselves that they were the only ones with the guns.

The many monarchs of Europe, the slaver's Confederacy, the Kaiser, the Nazis, the Italian fascists, Imperial Japan and many more all assumed that because liberals value peace and human life, that they were weak and feckless and easily beaten.

Go look for them now.

"You see we're hurting people on purpose because we think Americans won't know it's us that are hurting them. When do we go on the air?"

Substantively engaging with an (ill-informed!) questioner’s gotchas about your ongoing federal case would be the real disqualifier here.

This whole Nazi tattoo dude in the Senate nonsense is revealing of a lot of white folks. Oh your friends have Nazi tattoos too? Oh it doesn't bother you at all? Oh your whole crew you been rolling with has them & y'all are all perfectly democratic? Fascinating. Taking notes.

"We should be nonpolitical" for a social movement or NGO type thing is basically always a psyop. "We should not attempt to direct the power of the state to make good things happen" is, in the context of the PEPFAR cancellation more or less completely undermining bednet style EA, almost hilarious.

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

They tear-gassed kids last week.

The Internet thinks a lot of things are parody and rarely is right. This is parody. It creates a new work that requires knowledge of the original to understand it. This use is transformative.

As a person who has committed the actual Ozymandias to memory, I hope I never see this again.

I don't think its the job of an opposing campaign to go "actually these widespread tariffs that he's promising are actually not going to be that bad because he'll ditch many of the most painful ones so it'll only selectively hurt some businesses/people (depending on who bribes him)"

NASCAR’s roots are in running from the cops.
Do it for Dale, the way he’d actually have wanted. 🌽😸🌽
