If your Wikipedia page is correct, you're six years older than I am.

Which means that you, like me, were around for the entire history of VHS (1976-2016).

They’re not going to make noise about it, because they’ve been part of stoking the trans panic to distract from their predation on children.

there should be a word in English for when somebody tells a story that they think valorizes them but they're the obvious villain

She should check Sikh temples too.

At the start of the pandemic, I sourced a bunch of N95s, and needed people to help me deliver them to free clinics in low income Black and Hispanic areas throughout the bay area.

Sikh people came through. They did not hesitate.♥️👍🏿🕊️

“if you elect Republicans they will actually pass and implement Republican legislation” is a sentence that should be banal but everyone smart understands is an extinction-level scenario for the party as it currently exists

'Maybe we'll cancel SNAP and 10-20% of all flights through *Thanksgiving* and *Christmas*' is just an insane political position.

You do that and the annual Turkey fryer injuries won't be from turkeys, but from folks attempting to fry whole GOP senators for Thanksgiving.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.

Opinion | Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do

Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are. Independent monitors in Nigeria report 33 deaths this year in attacks against Christians (fewer than the 88 Muslims killed). But Trump cut off aid that helped save 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria. 270,000 > 33.

Military officials tell troops 168 commissaries could close next month Officials say commissaries will be open through Thanksgiving, but many stateside stores could close soon after due to the government shutdown.

Trump Says U.S. Visas Can Be Denied to Fat People From Now On New State Department guidance encourages embassies and consulates to deny visas to people with obesity or other health issues.

The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with physical traits. trib.al/b0AtL8r

okay sorry I cannot shut the fuck up about this topic, instead of another massive thread, here

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Building for peacetime is how you have the capacity to pivot to wartime and drown fascists like this bozo under industrial output.

The hilarious thing is that expression does not make me think “I will always love you.” It makes me think “I will kill you when you turn your back on me.”

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.”

Ivy League: “I will eat my poop and thank you for it because I’m scared of a Fox News personality cosplaying as a lawyer”

Claim: My uncle says Mamdani will abolish the entire NYPD. True: Your uncle does say that.

Chad’s wife is a federal judge who was appointed by Trump and confirmed despite a Not Qualified rating from the ABA. She issued a nationwide block on Biden’s public transit mask mandate and also struck down a ban on guns in post offices. No complaints about activist judges from Chad then?

but I think folks in blue states or mostly purple states need to start listening to the voting orgs on the ground in super red states IMMEDIATELY because voting activists down here have been dealing with cheating since... well I mean they've never NOT been dealing with (racist) cheating.

Now we know why he’s going to their game tomorrow.

‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

A reminder that before he was blowing up boats under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism, the President sent hundreds of men to CECOT under supposed war authority based on bogus accusations of terrorism.

These cases are nightmares. Many people had removal proceedings “administratively closed” for years; the case is off the docket and the person can stay indefinitely.

Now, suddenly, ICE is restarting them. And if they miss a physical letter, they might get ordered deported without their knowledge.

I have no insight into whether this accurately represents what's going on over on the Right, but it's at least internally consistent. (And if it *does* accurately represent what's going on, then it's *very* disturbing.)

What we're watching: A new take on "Frankenstein," a lavish legal drama starring Kim Kardashian and a Tracy Morgan-led spinoff.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170 billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical. Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flights—and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter. Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said. Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn’t own the planes. The planes also don’t have engines, which would need to be purchased separately. The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department. A spokesperson for Spirit didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski were going to buy 10 jets without engines from Spririt Airlines that Spirit didn't own.

Absolutely sadistic.

A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment.

The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.

I swear there’s an amendment about this…don’t tell me, it’s on the tip of my tongue…

Easy way to hire better personnel is for the bad personnel to quit first

Your regular reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - from Trump to torture/GWB to Iran-Contra to Watergate to EO9066 all the way back to 1865 - is because there are never any consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.
