Have you lost your mind

What a chud he turned out to be — I know the guy he beat was worse but at least you knew your enemy

I know the internet is just a revenue faucet for chud billionaires now but tonight I thought of a song about Japan we sang in class in the 4th grade in 1975 and in 5 min I found and downloaded a scanned copy of the textbook it came from, which is pretty great

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

they fired everybody who knows that Puerto Ricans are American

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Israel's doing Birthright for cops now

They’re not helping the majors get into the classes they need or writing the 1 million reports required by admin or showing up at the thinly attended colloquium. Anyway that’s who’s in the Epstein files.

There’s a “superstar” layer at every R1 institution I’ve been at that isn’t composed of academics in any sense I recognize. They’re there so the institution can claim them, but they use the university as a launchpad to contracts and speaking engagements. They’re not teaching the intro classes.

We don’t know yet how this NJ story will end but the *best* possible outcome for AIPAC is that they lit $2 million on fire for no reason and I think that’s beautiful

Most chaos muppets are yetzer hatov! They’re just a little … metabolically unregulated

hey yetzer hatov can be chaos muppet tyvm

Me: Gmail shows an annoying warning, as the workplace admin how do i turn it off

AI: go to (xyz menu) and select (123)

Me: here’s what’s at (xyz), there’s no (123)

AI: you’re right to raise that, it’s actually at (abc)

Me: no it’s not at (abc)

AI: so wise! (def) is the place you should look f

Unlike many I have nothing against the woman, even respect her, and yet I refer you to the convenient numbered list in my original tweet

I am on the ground

so why doesn’t someone help her up?

(Note: I love this person and hope they don’t see this but I swear that was my first thought)

someone typed “Kamala announcement tomorrow” in a group chat and I seized up like someone who was just injected with snake venom

1. No
2. Don’t tell me
3. I don’t want to know
4. As I previously indicated, please no

These decisions affect literally thousands of DC area families.

And they were made by folks enjoying record profits (and/or the fruits of their corruption)

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

okay but democratic voters want to abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who works for it, so

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.

This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.

Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

The staff of my Manhattan apartment building got formal training last week on what to do if our lobby is invaded by ICE paramilitaries, if you were wondering how America is going

bike lane plowed clear, with a giant pile of ice in the middle of it anyway

actual lol at this bike lane in midtown Manhattan

Frankly, things are so immediate and intense in Minnesota right now that it feels like people in other places talking about other things might as well be on the moon.

This is especially the case when people from elsewhere talk about how much things have changed here when they clearly haven’t

It's a war and the American people are the enemy. Can't do the fake "no they're just after the bad guys" after you shot two people for no good reason. bsky.app/profile/ndre...

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Walter Cronkite from the grave: lady, get my name out of your m-fing mouth
