It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.

Whew! Sorry to the admins for the consequences of this steaming fuckery, but that’s it.

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

I like this strain of "journalism" where the outlet pretends they're doing serious work, but they're just elevating the mindless brain farts of irrelevant knobs to soak up the controversy engagement clicks

I'm not even sure they're aware they're doing it, always

JD Vance promotes such a bad image for white men. In his depiction, they’re delicate snowflakes, terrified of competing with women and people of color for jobs, spooked by cat ladies and cowering in fear at the sound of a foreign language.
It isn’t white-male supremacy. It’s white-male insecurity.

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.

This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

Ooooo I remember playing this in my first tiny apartment, scared me. Not really a horror fan but it was a cool game!

Not this trickle down shit AGAIN?!? (still)
They get richer, we get poorer.

"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said today that while the stock market has done well this year, a better economy is going to “start flowing through to working Americans next year.”

This isn’t true, but it is true that slaveowners routinely enslaved and sold their children.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Update: Kid got home, opened a can of sparkling juice stuff that I'd packed in their lunch and it exploded all over the kitchen floor and cabinets I had finished rage-cleaning 5 min before they got home. 🤦‍♀️ 😭

It's the kind of day that requires screaming into a pillow before my kid gets home from school but turns out there was cat vomit on it so, yeah, I give up on today.

I'll be in the corner, eating the halloween candy, hissing at people who come near me.

They tear-gassed kids last week.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social

lotta people saying to donate to food banks which is great, but if that’s not available to you, often they are desperate for volunteers! shifts can be short, a few hours when you’re free, doing stuff like sorting boxes, making sandwiches, or delivering meals, depending on the org

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.

I'd like to personally apologize to the Cooper's Hawk on my deck I just surprised when I opened the door. We were both startled and I could have handled it better than trying to get a photo while tripping over the hose. 🤦‍♀️
Please, eat a sparrow or a pigeon. Circle of life.
I got you boo.

Mr. Mamdani’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment about his college years. But his professors there challenged the idea that his education was politically circumscribed, and described a serious student who was interested in history and sociology, and whose assignments covered the ideas of conservatives and leading American thinkers.

As usual, the actual story here is that the "critics" of liberal arts education are cynical liars. The Times' reporting could not find a shred of evidence of indoctrination. This has been obvious for years but the Times consistently decides to aid the attack rather than describe it for what it is.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Inquisitive looking dilute calico cat with mixed white, gray and buff fur stands half out between the spindles of a staircase landing looking down at the camera.

Just a girl, standing in front of her demon possessed cat, asking for peace.
Over 4 decades of animal experience - this cat is the single most energetic, intelligent, pita, of all of them. Dogs np, tarantulas np, horses slight problem, even wild animal rescues were easy compared to her. 🙄
Luv her

What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

Hell yeah, Emma, preach.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

THIS!!!

once again, i think electoral college maps shape people's sense of political reality in incredibly destructive ways
