Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

In 2024, #AllforCITY dropped their new kit on Feb. 16th. 8 days before the season started on Feb. 24th.

In 2025, they dropped their new kit on Feb. 14th. 8 days before the season started on Feb. 22nd.

In 2026, the season starts on Feb. 21st. 8 days prior would be Feb. 13th.

inject this shit directly into my veins

star wars is a ridiculous universe with space wizards and laser swords and apparently all I ever wanted was someone to take it completely seriously as a "how does this work in practice" study of fascism the way Andor does

I think Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem is probably a tough sell for Holy Father 2025, but agree that Pope Pizzaballa would cause the Internet to spontaneously combust, taking down the grid worldwide in a spasm of joy

Nintendo has delayed Switch 2 pre-orders because of the Trump tariffs

“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions”

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

TRICKLE-DOWN ECONOMICS DO NOT WORK.

It's absolutely shameful that Republicans keep trying to jam this steaming pile of shit down our throats to pad the pockets of their billionaire donors.

You effin’ dummies who voted for him trying to spin this shit show all because you can’t simply admit you were wrong are pathetic.

This is what fascism looks like, folks

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

greatest thing to do for elected Democrats is nuke Axios, Semafor, and Politico

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Lincoln on the Know Nothing Party August 24, 1855: Letter to Joshua F. Speed The American or "Know Nothing Party" was an anti-immigrant political party of the 1850's. I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we begin by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy.

Why does Lincoln have the best and most relevant quotes

An unvaccinated child has died in the Texas measles outbreak A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.

Not vaccinating your child against preventable, potentially deadly diseases is child abuse.

Period.

There should be liability for such neglectful parents. This is sick.

MYTH & ROID makes me unreasonably happy lol

Wore the shirt and he didn’t show #AllForCITY

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

This is how it’s done.

Just a reminder that the HPV vaccine literally PREVENTS CANCER and the series can be started as early as 9 years of age.

This administration is all about laws for thee and not me. No surprises here…

I love to joke about OSHA (and NIOSH) but every single OSHA regulation was written with someone’s blood

The right screams censorship when its ideas are rejected.

But some ideas should be rejected. They aren’t sound and they’re inhumane. That’s what happens when you serve capital above all else. Your ideas suck and people reject them.

Academic freedom isn’t the issue. Academic integrity is.

Academics, stop assuming good faith from right-wing political operatives.

They exploit your willingness to discuss ideas on their merits to launder credibility for their deeply unscientific, inhumane agenda.

Listen.

When you look at photos of the 1960s civil rights movement, of those fine ass people dressed in their Sunday best being assaulted with milkshakes, dogs, and batons refusing to fight back i need you to know you're looking at effective, honest, useful, propaganda

I lowkey think that Dems are so bad at persuasion because they’re all tied up with truth and factchecking instead of doing some good, god’s honest propaganda.

Someone remind her she can definitively win this feud by telling all

There are no words for the disgust I have at someone visiting a concentration camp and then promoting the party that is the modern inheritor of the Nazi party.

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired.

You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION.

Don't TALK about the price of eggs.

Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"
