The number of times people have come getting to me about how they didn’t expect this

and I’m just like …. What part of how they have treated Black people, immigrants and any combination is shocking ?

And it’s treated as a gotcha but I’m so very serious

What did yall think that made you exempt

"I thought ICE was only going after Mexicans"

When have you ever known any type of militia that is targeting a non-white group to not also attack Black people!?

They treat us like they get extra credit for beating our ass all the time. HOW ARE YOU SHOCKED!?

Y'know.....
I criticized Falcon and The Winter Soldier so much because Sam as a character didn't understand racism....

I willing to admit that I'm wrong and that sometimes there are folks out there who are that WILLFULLY obtuse.

Both sentiments from Jackson and Johnson aren't

too different from those expressed by a Black bystander in the viral video of the feds placing a Black man in a chokehold in Chicago's East Garfield Park neighborhood: "Y'all supposed to be out here choking Mexicans," he said.

Jackson described the happiness he felt when he

first heard U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was coming to Chicago. He said he felt that the migrants were "slowly taking over" South Shore and said the building eventually had majority immigrant occupants.

After the South Shore raid, Jackson said his feelings have changed because ICE "had mercy for nobody."

Someone said Kristi Noem trying to get in your house to use the bathroom was like Remmick in Sinners tryna get in the juke joint and I don't think that's true. Remmick is WAY more charismatic and likeable.

Bad Bunny responding to every criticism with just "I'm not doing that" is great and I love to see it.

Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters are freaking out after photos emerged of Super Bowl singer Bad Bunny sitting during “God Bless America” at a New York Yankees playoff game.

This is the thing that has been irritating me a lot lately. "AI" keeps popping up on things I use and I'm like "Welp, can't trust that anymore" but then on closer inspection it's not AI at all, but now I don't want to use the app anymore because of the bad marketing gimmick.

Grellock @grellock.bsky.social · 2d

Big Part is that AI generally is marketed as a brand.

Meaning that my app I use to correct spelling errors, is essentially seen as the very same thing like Sora 2, which was deliberately created to make soulless AI slop, by copying the work of real artists.

one thing I learned during 2020 is that "less than lethal" munitions are explicitly designed to be shot into the ground so they lose velocity and bounce up into people and the reason I didn't know that before is literally NO ONE has ever deployed them that way.

Reporter's notebook: I actually began working on this story shortly after footage of the incident showed up last month.

But by the time I finally got ahold of folks, the story grew: 2 *other* faith leaders I spoke with *also* reported being shot w/pepper balls while protesting this ICE facility.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost...

I also suggest if you can, find out about local Deaf community events. ASL like any language can be regional, so going to local events will not only help you retain a lot of what you're learning, but also learn about the ways in which the folks in your area communicate.

If you're trying to learn on your own, I suggest checking out Bill Vicars on YouTube. He's a teacher who records his lessons and shares them on his YouTube page for free and he starts from very basic levels.

It would require a level of honesty about their emotions that I think most straight men would have a hard time dealing with

Like looking at all the fun stuff that has been happening in romance, and how the genre is able to grow and adapt because it's one of the places where women can safely explore romance and sexuality and whatnot, there is basicwsomething for almost everyone now, but like.... Do dudes have that?

Cishet men love romance but toxic masculinity and misogyny completely ruins their ability to experience and expand on it.
