Detainees at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ facing ‘harrowing human right violations’, new report alleges Amnesty International finds immigrants at Florida facility were shackled and left outside in metal cage for up to a day

No one deserves to be treated like this. No one. Who comes up with this evil stuff?

It’s a shame the old 1990s style Super Soakers don’t seem to be for sale anymore….

My cat attempted, twice, to sit on a lit candle today. So now instead of the smell of coffee and vanilla, my workspace smells like burnt hair.

The constant atrocities are exhausting.

RIP indeed

I think I’ve been misunderstanding how British health care works.

He was going to get back to his xenophobic immigration bans eventually anyway. This latest tragedy is an excuse, not a reason.

As a great grandchild of immigrants I stand with immigrants. As a great grandchild of a man who fled war, I stand with refugees.

Watching the NYC parade this morning has reaffirmed my belief that protest marches need brass instruments, woodwinds, drum lines, and flag lines.

I have ADHD. Can you please break these into smaller, more manageable tasks so that I don’t get so overwhelmed I cannot start? Like, how do I begin to dismantle a monopoly? Do I need a wrench? A six sided die?

I honestly haven’t in a very long time but I’ve put the word out to others who do.

Scoop: Democrats eye ranked-choice voting for 2028 primaries It's a tool that drew national attention when it propelled New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to a decisive primary win.

This would be a welcomed change.

This is what I did last weekend:

We don’t have a President. We have a petty tyrant.

I’m really sorry to hear this. I hope the Universe gives you the strength you need and the peace you deserve.

I do this with my phone all the time, thinking I've plugged it in but not checked it has actually charged. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be with tea.

Church members flee as federal agents arrive at east Charlotte place of worship Witnesses say one man was detained while doing yard work while his wife and child were inside.

This is disgusting:

Picture of a William, holding his guitar, leaning on the 30’ metal border wall, which blocks the view of a native grassland and a spacious blue sky with glowing white clouds.

I spent Saturday in the San Rafael Valley, at the US/ Mexico border. It is, I understand, the last place Wild jaguars are able to come up from Mexico into the US. It is a beautiful valley, except that someone is constructing a monument to his fragile ego through the middle of it.

I don't know about perfect album, I'm still reading through the list of albums that came out in 1997. But apparently Faith No More had an album titled "Album of the Year," which is the best album title I've ever heard.

Yeah, I don't think you or your music give that vibe. At least not what I've seen of it.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Fuuuuh. I watched my wife give birth twice. No way anyone should have to go through that without having their wishes regarding painkillers respected.

I just looked at his Wikipedia page and it doesn't even say where he graduated from med school!

I'm represented in the U.S. House of Representatives again. Yay!

Okay, in addition to caving on their core demands, Democrats are horrible at messaging. I’m learning now that the Senate bill not only funds SNAP and WIC through September, but also increases the WIC budget from $603 million (with an m) to $8.2 billion (with a b).

Maybe lead with that next time?

We're really feeling the shutdown here, and we're also feeling betrayed that the Senate didn't hold out for anything. Why did we go through this?

This is horrifying.
