Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

Reminder: No government ever builds concentration camps it does not intend to fill.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

This really is a great picture:

They melted right back into the population, didn’t they?

What Lit profs don’t want you to know:

But he gave up his salary!!

There should be a bonus medal for dropping a perfect f-bomb faster than the NBC censors can catch it

It’s 8:25EST. This will be out of the news by 10. Would rightfully be “We interrupt this program” news in any other admin. Absolutely maddening.

Wait. What *is* about then?

Conservatives spent years complaining about ”safe-spaces” and “liberal snowflakes” only to turn around and show they are absolutely terrified of ideas they don’t like (“racism is bad” “gender is fluid”) and willing to use state power to avoid the slightest discomfort.

The snowiest of flakes.

“Combined with that 10 bil from the IRS and all those pardon sales, Ringo, that’s a nifty little score.”

Welcome to Soviet Texas.

Forever hunting that alt dimension where cigarettes are a SuperFood.

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

poor lil’ fella

There may be, but AFAIK there’s no proof he’s waived it.

There is a venn diagram of "We need to believe that AI can develop a real consciousness," "I now adhere to a truly bizarre health routine" and "I need all the money possible and I need it just for me," and at the center of it is "I am terrified of dying and I don't know how to fix that"

We could have photos like this too if peole gave a shit about men raping kids in this country

Welp, he certainly obliterated one thing related to Iranian nukes.

Same. I’ve traveled in conservation circles my whole life. In that anecdotal eddy I’ve only caught the eco-fash stench a few times but it’s unmistakable and distinctly revolting. Distills to ‘I want the woods to myself‘ at best to ‘I saw a Black guy in a state forest once and that needs to stop.’

<Fills Burgum’s house with manure> What’s the problem? It helps plants grow!

More elite impunity than British royals.

More bigoted towards immigrants than Germany.

Worse sexual ethics than the French.

America 2026!

Thought of you the other day. Had to look something up (c19 cedar log ‘mining’ in NJ) and by far the most useful piece was an FWP document. The New Deal, still crazy after all these years.
