Do you want to know what it feels like to have real representation in your government? Like a real young person who knows what the internet is and has been dealing with far right wingers online for years, holds firm progressive values, supports Palestine, and loves immigrants?

I posted that i was thinking about what to do when ICE eventualky comes for trans people too (you know, the other main group on the list for the american right) and this was someone’s response.

I thought we were passed “they can’t do that D:”

ICE is just the right’s secret police

Casually thinking about what I'd do if ICE comes for me when they start coming for trans folks too. What a fun time to be alive.

feds have been all over chicagoland today.

reports of people abducted from back of the yards, cicero, rogers park, hermosa, barrington, batavia, and bridgeview.

feds are out in force in aurora. not sharing video, but residents have likewise turned out in force—and they aren't happy.

Society is never made better by forcibly removing people people don't like.

In my opinion, one nation for 2 peoples is the only humane solution.

This is the closest I've seen any candidate or elected official has gotten to that ideal. And there's no one else to support but kat if we on the left want to eventually see that goal.

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 16h

Finally, as a Palestinian-American, I sincerely hope that this is the first step on the long road to liberty for my people. I have faith — no, I know — that one day, our two peoples will look back and say this was a dark chapter in our shared history, as one.

Deportation is bad. Full fucking stop. No forced migration, ever. People should be able to live where they want.

from the inbox:

masked federal agents yesterday evening dragged a person out of their car and tackled them in the street outside uic.

a handful of other agents looked on, at least one carrying an apparent rifle.

at the end of the clip, the person can be heard screaming, “help! help me! help!”

Hey wrestlingsky, I'm teaching a storytelling class and I need a good example of a wrestling match with some excellent storytelling throughout the fighting. Any good examples would be wonderful. I can think of a few but would like some more to examine. Thank you!

here's the thing, netanyahu needs the conflict to keep continuing because his ass is on the line for all the war crimes, and he's even up for prosecution in his own country. While I am cautiously optimistic Palestinian lives can be spared in this cease fire deal, I just don't trust him

Gavin Newsom has the biggest Used Car Salesman energy I've literally ever seen. The most untrustworthy face.
