Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

'Young Canadians don't want to do late-night, menial, low-paying, gross jobs'...isn't the supporting argument backers of the TFW program are looking for.

Did you hear about the Independent’s review of it? Complaining that it focused on Romanticism and made the monster sympathetic? *slams head on desk* Tell me you didn’t read the book without telling me you read the book

Re: Diddy being acquitted on sex trafficking charges, one of the reasons the MeToo backlash has been so effective is because the court system enables a commentary class to say the absence of a guilty verdict means that women and victims are liars. In reality it’s incredibly hard and rare to convict

A lot of folks gotta think long and hard about why there are so many who feel chill and at home with a bunch of our neighbors flying Mexican flags, but uneasy and more than a little scared when people wave the American flag.

'Oh no, tariffs. Now we'll have to raise prices' say corporations that were going to raise prices either way

Americans choose most expensive way possible to discover what goods made in Canada WASHINGTON, D.C. - With US President Donald Trump declaring 25% tariffs on most Canadian goods, American citizens have officially chosen the most circuitous and economically painful method possible to...

I tried to put these words to the tune of “I say a little prayer for you “

IUPAT Twitter post: There are nearly 3 million immigrants in the construction industry, and they deserve the same rights as all other workers. Our union stands with our immigrant members and all working people in this country — an injury to one is an injury to all.

Every union should be echoing this statement.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Yeah I know people say anxiety is bad, but mine has just been collecting all the possible things that can go wrong so far. Once it has an exhaustive catalog of every possible mishap, it’ll move on to suggesting solutions and then you better watch out.

He unlocks whenever she asks and with no judgement, but she says it stops those thoughtless pick ups during the day. When they’re not together, she has the passcode. But she’s not excessively onscreen when she has access. I think that’s not a bad idea for early recovery screen addicts 2/2

@jonfavs.bsky.social @max-fisher.bsky.social I’m an RN & night shifts are a time when my screen time explodes (when it’s the q-word). A coworker of mine says she has her husband reset her phone password so she doesn’t know it when she’s with him at home 1/2

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

I'll only say one thing about Nosferatu* and it is that I wish Thomas had been allowed to be the King Himbo that he truly is. And Nicolas Hoult is honestly PERFECT casting for that! Casting department knew what they were about then got fumbled in execution

*I'm certain I'll say more than one thing

Yes!!!!

I want whoever came up with the term "Vegan Leather" to be forced into a Rube Goldberg machine of unfortunate events.

It's not "vegan leather." It's plastic. P L A S T I C I tell you

to all of you making rude posts about the death of anita bryant all i can say is carry on

Is that near the fires? If so, stay safe ❤️

Yes! Sophie!!

just thinking seasonal, festive thoughts about how in 1843 Dickens trusted readers to clock that “poor people should be grateful prisons will house them, let them go ahead and die if they don’t like it” was immediate villain shit, and now the GOP’s whole platform is like “maybe Scrooge made points”

The woman is Polish-born Danuta Danielsson, a Jew. The location is Växjö, Sweden, 1985. The photographer is Hans Runesson. And it gets better: the Nazis were chased, pelted with eggs and assaulted until they had to shelter in subway toilets until saved by the police.

I’ve been bingeing @rexfactor.bsky.social and have just started Kings of Scotland season.Kenneth McAlpin getting a middling score and a Rex Factor, with Ali saying that he’s basically just making it as a first king is absolutely hilarious in a post Barbie movie world. He’s Ken-ough.”
