Semicolons are under-used and under-appreciated.

I guess my biggest question (beyond the obvious moral revulsion) is: do these people actually still not understand the amount of access to information we have in 2025, with the means to disseminate it in seconds? Burn this shit to the ground.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

If Pam Poovey knew you were invoking her in the context of Pam Bondi, I’d like to think she’d go full yakuza on your ass.

This would be literally the perfect movie to inflict on an irritating neighbor on a train or flight. Plenty of normal looking coming-of-age story stuff up front to get their guard down, then you cough slightly and they glance up from their WSJ just as one of *those* scenes hits.

And has literally nothing to do with anything here. ICE agents come in all shapes and sizes, and so do those who resist them.

1-2 and 4-6 describe character attributes that could be reasonably assumed of people who would fit in at ICE.

Point 3 is just a hateful and deeply prejudiced, irrelevant, and incorrect statement that “bad people are fat and dumb”/“fat and dumb people are bad”. It’s so fucking lame.

#Sinclair, who refused to air #Kimmel on their local networks, took down their advertisers/direct investment page on their website.

I guess they don’t want people to reach out to the companies who invest money with them. You know, those ones ⬇️

Thank you for bringing up his memory. For me, Feb 25 will always be a day for remembering what real moral clarity and courage can look like.

Oof. Reading through it all, and it just fucking oozes with so much hateful smug dumbness.

It feels kind of unbelievable, honestly, even with all the rest of the constant onslaught of absurdity, this just feels beyond even their usual somehow.

Or maybe I’m just not used to the Heritage Foundation?

This is one of the weaknesses of civility politics, it falls for the form. That humiliating content farming is debate-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! Fox News is news-shaped, we have to treat it as legitimate! The Free Press is newspaper-shaped. etc etc.

that’s why we’re seeing widespread harassment campaigns to get people fired. not because people “celebrated violence” but because they were not sufficiently compliant in following the messaging established by fascists.

Every time I see Trump claim vast powers over economic policy that the Constitution does not give him, often only for the Supreme Court to step in and go 'seems legit,' I can't help but think about the Court carrying on as if canceling some student loan debt was shocking executive overreach

Vox @vox.com · 25d

In a trio of cases, two currently pending before the Supreme Court and one that is likely to land on the justices’ doorstep as soon as Tuesday, President Donald Trump claims new powers that, if he prevails, would give him near-total control over all US fiscal and monetary policy.

Trump asks the Supreme Court to give him total control over the US economy

The next few months could be the most consequential period for US constitutional law since the Roosevelt administration.

“Sincerely held beliefs” is one of the most stupidly redundant phrases in the English language.

Although I guess in today’s world of edgelords and ironic memes on bullet casings, insincerely held beliefs are just as valid, if not more.

The ability to recognize the delusions of others as delusions and not differing viewpoints (when they are in fact delusions…and also the humility and will to distinguish this from self-deception) will be a crucial survival skill going forward.

Also if we’re trying to be accurate at all, it wasn’t even a penis that got shoved down/into/through Charlie Kirk’s throat and then directly into his spinal cord, anyway.

So he’s saying that international law is a farce. To international lawmakers. Oh well maybe the corporations will save us after all.
