People are asking a lot “how is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening — you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Because a trans actor on Broadway is… new? These people really need some new hobbies. Is there a way to vibe code an anti-trans vortex based on that Libs of TikTok woman’s algorithm so it keeps them occupied in their own pit of the internet and locks them in so they leave everyone else alone?
So apparently Dylan Mulvaney got cast in a Broadway musical... which resulted in transphobes losing their minds and threatening to "Bud Light" the show... and now the show's Twitter page is locked down. Cool cool.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

LoL I love this. Also apologies to my dogs past, present, and future for taking on my anxiety 🫣😅
My sister got a dog to help with her anxiety and now he has anxiety. So she got a second dog to help with his anxiety and you’ll never guess what happened.

I always figured having to square dance in HS was racist but wasn’t sure how. Wild.
Henry Ford HATED Jazz because too many Jewish & Black Folks were a part of it. He pushed the Department of Education to make square dance part of the curriculum to counter Jazz.

Man. Wild to learn that the emerald miner thing is essentially an urban myth, but it also makes the stuff Elon has done make more sense. He didn’t have money really so he didn’t know what to do when he had a lot of it. It made him who he is, constantly chasing the high of making more money
Episode 47: Elon Musk

Walter Isaacson’s definitive biography poses the question: is it ok to be a pathetic, cruel, lying reactionary if it kind of helps you build cars?

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Lots to learn from the NYC mayoral race for sure, but I think most surprising has been realizing that while I would never vote for Sliwa, he genuinely loves NYC and its people and actually has a variation of integrity while Cuomo and Adams possess not an ounce
Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

My now-hubs used to watch Real Time every Friday, so I watched it w/ him occasionally. Pretty sure Maher went on a hyper Islamophobic rant at one point and I was like yeah I’m done. And THEN he interviewed that Milo creep - laughed hysterically and deleted the recording schedule from the DVR

TIL that people w/ a level of financial comfort I can only dream about genuinely think renters should… never enjoy a nice meal? I was an NYC renter for a LONG time and I went to places like Omen Sushi occasionally *gasp*.

Also I love the workwear guy a lot.
i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

Admittedly I haven’t been a practicing Catholic in a long while, but 11 years of Catholic school ingrained a lot of the doctrine in my memory, and I am confused - did they change Catholicism to not believe that poor people deserve care and I just missed it?
heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Almost dropped my phone when Saeed said this in the latest episode of Vibe Check 😅 “[e]vacuate yourself from your own life”? The poet is doing a poetry - ChatGPT could NEVER 💜🤣
To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.

YIKES, no thanks. I’m gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I don’t wanna do.

It is extremely disorienting that things like this are both offensive and yet expected, which seemed rare, happens so often these days
