Excellent student protest on Columbia Low steps demanding ICE off campus.

Apparently the agents who took our student got in like all the folks who steal packages in the lobby. No one affiliated with CU let them in knowingly.

Do we know for sure which other cell companies don't? I need to know which so I can twitch.

Andrew Tate, who faces rape and trafficking charges in Romania, has left for the US Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have left Romania for the U.S. after authorities lifted travel restrictions imposed as part of a legal case.

After all, the US is clearly where they belong.
Just fuck everything.

She is trying to avoid setting a precedent of removing democratically elected leaders who have not been convicted of a crime. I get that, even if this is an infuriatingly obvious case where it is necessary.

I think COVID was at least as significant.
And yes I agree that we are likely going through another now.
I could stand fewer generation definers really.

More prosecutors have resigned over Trump's DOJ attempt to drop charges against Eric Adams than did in the famous Saturday Night Massacre.

But this ain't Archibald Cox, and Congressional Republicans have kissed the ring.

Lower Manhattan. NYC residents, activists, & elected officials joined in denouncing Mayor Adams’ decision to allow ICE to enter city hospitals, schools, and places where all New Yorkers deserve to feel safe. #ProtectYourNeighbors

On this Sunday, a celebration of the best possible owls - excellent, extravagant ones - please share with me your most Superb Owl.

The leader of my country is casually suggesting forced relocation of a people from their homeland, on behalf of a people who have historically grieved their forced relocation.

It's amazing that some people don't see it.

After all it's not like these policies will direct kill anybody.
But the message is always that the authors really wouldn't mind if you died, could be better aKtUaLy.

Cruelty is the point. Empathy is a flaw.

Cantrip is NOT one of the Pangrams for today's NYT Spelling Bee and my DnD heart is sad.

Justice Dept. Signals Report on Trump Documents Case May Never Be Released In a court filing, the department indicated that the report by the special counsel, Jack Smith, may not be made public before Donald J. Trump takes office, raising the prospect that the new administra...

Cause OF COURSE it's not in the public interest to know this shit. Head, meet wall.

YouTube video by Innuendo Studios The Alt-Right Playbook: Always a Bigger Fish

I've needed to direct people to this video by @innuendostudios.bsky.social more than once recently, so might as well share with everyone! Watch. Really. It's super helpful (as is a LOT of his stuff) for understanding an approach that doesn't come naturally.

This is ok generally (offputting when the description of the music is at odds with what in evokes in me), but when an artist treally creatively (or amusingly) describes that music as part of their subtitles, I'm all in.
PhilosophyTube by @theabigailthorn.bsky.social comes to mind.

All I see is people have more sex (at least, more unsafe sex) when it's cold.

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

She was inspired by radfem Hitler, a anonymous TERF account on Twitter who just went private. We likely have our first TERF inspired mass mass shooter.

RFK Jr.’s Lawyer Has Asked the FDA to Revoke Polio Vaccine Approval Aaron Siri, who specializes in vaccine lawsuits, has been at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s side reviewing candidates for top jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

What in the actual fuck.

I need good inventive new musicals. I'm seeing Maybe Happy Ending in a few weeks, but I want to hear something new that isn't a jukebox or a big-effect movie adaptation. Any recs?

I'm positive I'm not using this site "right" yet, and that is THRILLING.

Mentally, anyway.

THIS. I've been trying to describe what's refreshingly different here and this is the best explanation.

December 7, 2024 On Thursday, December 5, in Chicago, Illinois, former president Barack Obama gave the third in an annual series of lectures he has delivered since 2022 at his foundation’s Democracy Forum, which gathe...

Pluralism - A case that unifying across difference is the only way to make space for that difference.

I'm a sad ADHD 90's child who needs constant reminders than bro isn't gender neutral anymore. Apologies in advance to all the young ms.

This little cat thinks we cleared off the top of the radiator for him, and I don't have the heart to tell him differently.

I wonder if this ever happened to Paul Newman.

Biden pardoning his son is notable, and the breadth of it only makes sense if you look at Kash Patel, who is coming in to lead the Fed and has an 'unhealthy' obsession with the President's son. #uspol

I just finished a run at my local community theater and it's so strange realizing I'm a much better actor now than in my twenties. We assume so much is instinct so it's easy to forget the skill involved.

I would like a piano lesbian please, expect maybe no cause then I'd have to leave my spouse.

Anybody get good news today? I'd love some good news, no matter how small.
