Oh, and an absolute garbage journalist, with not respect for the ethics and values of that craft, and no qualifications to lead a major news organization.

I’m a feminist, but that doesn’t mean I need to support horrible people who are horrible at their jobs and do horrible things.

I don’t know why you take it as a badge of honor that a ton of people are pointing out that your take is bad and that you’re standing up for a horrible person.

Whatever makes you think that, you might want to consider it’s not a healthy way to go through the world.

Bari Weiss is a horrible person.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SHINE LASERS AT AIRCRAFT!

Besides being ineffective as a form of protest, they can AND WILL track you down, easily.

It’s easy to see where the laser is coming from, and they will be there very quickly.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 5h

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

“It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

My reaction to JD Vance confirming that they are “considering” the Insurrection Act: I don’t give a shit what you do you MF I’m going to the No Kings protest. I’m not particularly courageous, but I am brimming with rage. I can’t be the only one.

At his kids’ school, a woman (here legally) was ripped out of her car by ICE in the *school drop off line* last week for the crime of being brown. The school had to have a town hall about it. His wife teared up just talking about it. People are being traumatized and they are also fucking pissed.

ICE and CBP are psychotic monsters, a threat to all of the rest of us.

This is intentionally sadistic and cruel.

Leia🇨🇴🇺🇸 @theswprincess.bsky.social · 9h

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

You're like "hey why don't you listen to voters, find out what voters want to vote for?"

And Dem leadership is like "NO fuck you, this Thiel-funded thinktank is my friend. That's my emotional support Ezra Klein"

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 1d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

They don't give their opinion to the media
