People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

You FUCKED UP, your LEFTY politics have ALIENATED the BILLIONAIRES who run the CHILD BONE EXTRACTION FACTORIES and now they will do a MASS EXODUS from your STATE or CITY. Don’t CRY to ME when you no longer see their CHILD CATCHING VANS in your STATE or CITY, YOU IDIOT

it is pretty darkly funny seeing posts like URGENT!!!! it is SUNDAY EVENING you must PUT DOWN YOUR DINNER and call your senator IMMEDIATELY to politely request they not press the big button marked "fuck you". this will not actually stop them from pressing the fuck you button. functioning democracy

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?

What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

In light of the govt shutdown and SNAP getting cut for a ton of folks, I have had a fun idea for how to help. I call it "Operation Turkey Heist (legal)."

Allow me to explain...

A lot of grocery stories are doing a "free turkey with X dollar purchase" and food banks very much want those turkeys.

to understand what's happening in romantasy, and how pubilshers make decisions about what stories to tell, it's in fact deeply necessary to know how diverse YA fantasy actually is. because that's how it becomes really clear the extent to which romantasy publishers are prioritizing straight whiteness

FWIW i’ve switched to @bookshop.org for ebooks and Libro for audio books and with very few exceptions had the exact same experience as Amazon without the greasy aftertaste. Highly recommended.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

a good thing to ask yourself when pursuing a broad political strategy is β€œwould this have prevented the civil rights movement?”

Eventually I was just like idk, there are a lot of things in the world that need doing and the existence of those programs shouldn’t depend on if they’re sexy enough to pitch at a cocktail party. But somehow, it does. No shade to the NGOs who work this way, it’s just the reality. But I hated it!

A lot of private fundraising for NGOs is about identifying the extremely wealthy people and pitching them the good deed your org does, hopefully getting them to commit major $ to establish a project. But it’s so 1:1 and relational. Like, how is this good deed good for *them.*

This is basically why I had to get out of nonprofit fundraising, it was driving me to 24/7 blind rage πŸ˜…

Abrego Garcia’s Wife Forced to Go Into Hiding Thanks to DHS Slip-Up Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife says she fears for her safety since the Trump administration deported him to a prison in El Salvador.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court.

A FEDERAL JUDGE said β€œno evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.
