It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

"Two novels can change a 14yo’s life: The Lord of the Rings & Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession w its unbelievable heroes, leading to being emotionally stunted & unable to deal w the real world. The other involves orcs."

It's a Republican tradition.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

70% - Trump isn't honest or trustworthy

56% - Trump is not mentally sharp enough

56% - Trump is not committed to our rights

62% - Trump's using the presidency to enrich himself

Rainier Beach High School confirms active tuberculosis case, 130 people possibly exposed

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades.

In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Just a note for everyone outside the Twin Cities:

Yes, ICE is still here harassing and kidnapping our neighbors

Former detainees told ProPublica they experienced room searches before January but that they typically were carried out by just two employees at a time, not eight or more. After guards searched Hinojosa's room following the protest, she said, she and the other residents were unable to locate their colored pencils, which were purchased at the commissary and stored in a little cup atop the writing table where the kids liked to doodle. "Even knowing that we had paid for those ourselves," she said, "they removed them."

I knew migrants in our for-profit prisons had to pay for everything they got on the inside, but learning about the colored pencils has broken me.

Teachers spend thousands of dollars out of pocket to outfit their classrooms. Do you think any of the Dilley guards bother to buy kids crayons?

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.

And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.

They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.

What does this tell you?

Please keep writing about Nurul Amin Shah Alam.

They killed this man. It's a system wide problem that resulted in his death. Every step of the way it was a travesty of justice.

This is how immigration law intersects with criminal law. ICE and CBP.

Read this and ask why do we fund this? Why?

I remember them addressing that, briefly, at one point in the Morlock series; there was a mutant who's power was being really good at games, and somebody was like he's no less a mutant than Storm.

I think Forge's power was that he was a super mechanic.

401,000 people moving state to state in fear of having legal documents invalidated (KS), jail time for using restrooms (FL, UT), loss of access to adult care (dozens) or youth care (dozens even in D-led states), & the message from “opposition” is still largely “you’re making too big a deal of this.”

All I want from my government representatives is for them to hold the line. That's it. I don't care if they don't have the votes. They have platforms. I can't get a 10-minute spot on a cable news program. They can. And they should use those platforms to shine a beacon on fascism and corruption.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

One thing people don't think about is that trans folks relocating to safer states are, without fail, relocating to FAR MORE EXPENSIVE states.

My rent here in New Jersey for a 1BR is *$1300* more than it cost to rent a 2 bedroom house in Oklahoma City.

And guess what group has trouble finding work?

‘In the end, you feel blank’: India’s female workers watching hours of abusive content to train AI Women in rural communities describe trauma of moderating violent and pornographic content for global tech companies

They want to tell you that the models train themselves now. That it's clean. It's pure.

It never is, is it? There's always a damnable human cost.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

She fucking nailed it. 😆

It wasn't enough to send a racist paramilitary to invade Minnesota, now Trump is implementing a blockade of the entire state.

We need our states to enact solidarity measures. Concrete action, not just words. Call your governors.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, step up.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

They found him. He died.

Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

U.S. deports gay asylum seeker to country where homosexuality is illegal It's the latest incident in which the U.S. government used third-country agreements to deport LGBTQ+ asylum seekers to dangerous situations.

A woman escaped from her family who tried to kill her for being gay from a country where it is also illegal. She was detained for nearly a year instead of given bail and then her asylum case was denied. A judge denied an order of removal. The Trump DOJ ignored it and deported her anyways.

Lithium Plume in Our Atmosphere Traced Back to Returning SpaceX Rocket Space junk returning to the Earth is introducing metal pollution to the pristine upper atmosphere as it burns up on re-entry, a new study has found.

Hey, so all those rocket launches people love cheering on are probably destroying the upper atmosphere. Repairing the ozone layer in the 90s is one of our all-time great achievements as a global civilization; private rocket men seem intent on reversing that.
