In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

1 person shot and killed by U.S. marshal in Northeast DC A U.S. marshal shot and killed a person Wednesday afternoon in Northeast D.C. This shooting happened on Hay Street right in front of the Cesar Chavez Middle Public Charter School and not far from the ...

I heard about a killing of a Black man in DC by US marshals on a call from someone in the neighborhood then saw it confirmed by the organization @harrietsdreams.bsky.social & here. A Black man in DC was killed by the state today. Make the same noise for him as for anyone else when we have his name.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.

Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough.

Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The "reform" demands seem to just be asking ICE to do what they're already supposed to be doing (and are not and will not do even if this passes). It's time to abolish and prosecute. That's what seems reasonable.

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

Well said, Bad Bunny. Well said.

When Black women said that they didn't like white people fawning over Crockett because the second she couldn't be their mascot anymore, they'd tear her down, damn they were dead on.

Releasing victims’ names without permission. Disgusting, even if it was accidental (which we know wasn’t).

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

I had promised my dad, a die hard member of Team McDermott with whom I disagree every game, that I would wear an I love Sean McDermott shirt every day for a year if he won us a Super Bowl. I would have loved to have needed to figure out how to do that.

Should we call our representatives?

(Just let them pretend for now.)

(Not to the “abolish DHS part. That you can yell.)

Please just let them backpedal.

You were absolutely right about this, Laura. DHS was a bad idea from the start. Cheers and kudos and hat tip and huzzah.

Keith Porter was the first person murdered by ICE this year.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?"

Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

GEQBUS SAM DARNOLD IF YOU CAN HEAR ME

PLEASE SAVE US FROM THE FASCIST TERROR ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

Boring.

Then PROSECUTE.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
