ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

I thought about asking a group who seem aligned with my values to please consider how their privilege impacts their vetting, but I feared I could not articulate my point well, but sadly this article makes it for me, as privileged folx can overestimate how helpful rigged systems are when oppressed! 👀

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Things suck, hopefully a cute Miemie kitty will brighten your day a little.

I hate that "females" is used here. It feels so gross.

Instagram alternative?

Spotify daylist that says "people pleaser delicate Sunday afternoon"

Okay Spotify wasn't ready to be called out by my daylist like this but sure.

She's so cuuuuute

"Excerpt from an article published by The Intercept. The text discusses policies around allowing disparaging remarks about transgender individuals, including children. It mentions that the term 'tranny' is no longer considered a slur and provides examples of speech that should no longer be removed, such as statements using derogatory language against transgender individuals in various contexts."

Meta is fundamentally evil company that deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet.

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

SMH at least it's just fox but still such a messed up narrative

It's wild how cyclical history is feeling right now.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

MieMie sitting in the hallway looking up at the camera with a bee catnip toy in front of her that she's clearly been playing with.

She really likes her bee but stops playing and sits pretty whenever she realizes we're watching.

I design things to separate solid shit from liquid shit.

Uhhhg looking forward to 2024 being over but I'm dreading 2025. I know whatever happens won't be permanent but we've a long road ahead of us.

Absolutely horrifying

Unhinged right wing South Korean president calls for martial law and now must step down.

Maybe what happened in South Korea could happen in the USA?

It's so good with bacon!!

Red ceramic bowl with creamy beige soup. It is topped with small crispy pieces of bacon chopped green onions. In the back of the bowl a handle of soup soon sticks out and has colorful squares going from blue to yellow.

Soup season! Potato Leek soup topped with bacon bits and green onions. Soup is one of my favorite kinds of meal prep. I can make a gaint batch and freeze into individual servings for when I want an easy meal. It also makes it really easy to share with friends!

The idea that those on the left will ever agree enough to be an “echo chamber” is rather funny to me.

We couldn’t even agree whether to refer to Kamala Harris by her first or last name.
