Ladies if you're always walking around with earphones or headphones on whether jogging or at the mall don't be surprised if no one approaches you. Most guys won't ask you to take them off just to start a conversation.
Sometimes you might be blocking more than just the noise

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

NYC public schools:
Tomorrow (Mon 2/23) is a full snow day โ€”no remote learning, no logging on. Our first real snow day in seven years. This blizzard is serious. Stay inside. Travel ban 9pmโ€“noon tomorrow so crews can keep streets clear.
After the worst passes, bundle up and enjoy the snow โ€” safely.

Denmark Rejects Trumpโ€™s Plan to Send Hospital Boat to Greenland

This too is sanewashing. There is no plan. There was a post. Thatโ€™s it.

Undefeated theory of politics: any voter who could remotely be considered as โ€˜undecidedโ€™ is by definition a moron who by definition knows absolutely nothing about politics, and just gets angry at the president because โ€œheโ€™s in chargeโ€

i think some of this is that, but also "chaos at the airports" is just a story that's bad for the administration no matter the circumstance. people know the feds run them, and expect them to be well-run without thinking about it.

I voted for trump 7 times (legally, and itโ€™s Illegal for u to ask me how) but I think heโ€™s finally lost me by taking away my TSA PreCheck. I will now have no choice but to consider voting for Elon Musks FREEDOM PARTY in this next election, or maybe Trump imprisons Sabrina Carpenter and wins me back

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

"subtle differences in their views of executive power" is like saying the result of a WWE match showed subtle differences in the participants wrestling ability. The reason Trump lost is because Roberts thought the tariffs would endanger GOP majorities in the next elections.

This is an administration desperately trying to keep its allies on board, and failing.

I think it's important to remember that RFK clearly believes in eugenics and children and mothers who die because they're not strong enough without modern medicine is the goal, not the side effect.

Liberalism Did Not Fail, Conservatism Did We are moving from an ideologically multipolar world, to a bipolar one.

Around the world, politics are being divided into coalitions, according to @polphilpod.bsky.social. One is for autarky, homogeneity, and hierarchy. It is our job to ensure the other is actually for internationalism, diversity, and equality. www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalism-d...

A tariff โ€œrefundโ€ mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. Thatโ€™s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

โ€œYou're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.โ€

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Goodโ€™s Killing

This case is insane:

ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*

The young man they killed had no criminal history.

All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.

We don't know officers' names.

We don't have footage.
