Love not being able to fall asleep because I just realized that I botched a literary reference in an email I sent 12 hrs ago to a colleague who’s an English professor & I was simply wanting to make a funny little joke but instead all I can assume is that they think I’m an absolute idiot

Don’t torment me with promises you can’t keep, Weather App

Between here and threads, it’s almost like I can pretend it’s 2009 again

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

People are nervous about watching video, but this one is not of the murder, it's of the lead up, and people need to see it before the spin takes over.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Only a few hours after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Minneapolis resident and mother Renee Good on January 7, federal immigration enforcement agents descended onto Roosevelt High School property during school dismissal as students were exiting the building. MFE members say that ICE agents tackled and detained a school staff member and union member who was working at the time. The MFE member was since released, according to a union spokesperson. The agents also deployed a chemical irritant against students and staff on school grounds, MFE says. A school official, speaking to MPR News on condition of anonymity, said many students sheltered in a nearby library.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*.

Please read this thread. Congress can - and must - stop the tariffs.

If you have a GOP representative, call them and demand an end to the tariffs.

Was reflecting last night on how we live in the timeline where in the year of our lord 2000 AD, george w bush seemed like less of a buffoon than al gore jr

It was way more fun reading about all the other periods in history that were ruled by absolute freaks and losers when you didn't think that was going to be you

The Real Reason Trump Is Pushing ‘Buy American’ The marketing slogan is supposed to alter consumer habits and bolster domestic manufacturing, but its long history reveals darker motivations.

For the latest edition of @bloomberg.com Buying Power, I wrote about the fascinating history of “Buy American” campaigns and what they’re actually used to accomplish: stoking anti-immigrant sentiment and consolidating domestic corporate power. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Are there any witches out there who can use this blood worm full moon to perform some cleansing ritual? Not in an apocalyptic way, just a wake up and enjoy a warm beverage while listening to the birds chirp outside my window way
