For years, Trump has been spouting all kinds of harmful lies about immigrants.

Now he’s exporting ICE, some of the United States’ literal worst, to an Olympics host city that has said they’re not welcome.

It’s giving “every accusation is a confession.” 👀
A red-background graphic with the header text at the top reading: “ANOTHER @MERIREI-MADE POST…”. The upper half shows two stacked news headlines. The first is from The Independent and reads: “Trump to send ICE agents to Milan Winter Olympics amid Minneapolis shooting backlash.” Below it is a CNN World headline that reads: “Italians furious over deployment of ICE agents to bolster US security at Winter Olympics.” The lower half of the graphic features a large quote in white text on a dark red background, next to a photo of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. The quote reads: “They’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” The quote is attributed below to: “Donald J. Trump.”

Listening to all the rhetoric and newsbites about Greenland. Remember that Hawaiʻi was illegally occupied and made a state according to US law at the time and had allies (UK). YET WAS STILL STOLEN.

Not to mention all of north america.

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

Ecologists are sounding the alarm about the deleterious effects of AI and data centers on the climate and the health and economic conditions of local communities, while Big Tech giants are lobbying politicians like Trump to dictate the media narrative, state investments, and municipal zoning laws.

Supporting Epstein's victims is essential, full stop. But MTG doing the bare minimum doesn't erase years of harmful, violent rhetoric.

A broken clock can be right twice a day, but that's no reason to pull it from the trash and mount it on the wall.
A parody meme showing a cartoon golden trash bin labeled “RUBBISH” inside a grand, palace-like room. Inside the bin is a cartoon character resembling Cogsworth the clock from Beauty and the Beast, but with Marjorie Taylor Greene’s smiling face. Surrounding the bin are piles of trash and clutter. Top text: “A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY” Bottom text: “BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE’RE PULLING IT OUT OF THE TRASH AND MOUNTING IT ON THE WALL.” A two-panel meme with bold white text on red backgrounds labeled “HOW IT STARTED” and “HOW IT’S GOING.” Left panel (“How It Started”): Screenshots of news headlines about Marjorie Taylor Greene harassing Parkland survivor David Hogg, promoting transphobic signage stating “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE,” and making inflammatory statements accusing immigrants of crimes. Right panel (“How It’s Going”): Screenshots of Greene calling for the release of Epstein files “for victims’ sake” and a CNN article where she apologizes for “toxic politics” and says she’s turning a new leaf after years of divisive comments. A yellow footer bar reads: “ONE CORRECT TAKE DOESN’T REWRITE THE LORE.” A two-panel cartoon meme. Top panel: An exaggerated cartoon version of Marjorie Taylor Greene stumbling forward awkwardly with her hands out, as if falling into a situation. Text: “MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, STUMBLING INTO THE CORRECT POSITION, FOR ONCE…” Bottom panel: A robotic vacuum (Roomba) slams into a wall near its charging dock, making a comedic crash mark before landing in the correct spot. Text: “BUT EVEN A ROOMBA WILL EVENTUALLY FIND THE RIGHT SPOT. AND USUALLY BY ACCIDENT.”

The growing consensus on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's order tonight: a horrible situation, handled strategically (from @stevevladeck.bsky.social) www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf
It may surprise folks that Justice Jackson, who has been one of the most vocal critics of the Court's behavior on emergency applications from the Trump administration, acquiesced in even a temporary pause of the district court's ruling in this case. But as I read the order, which says a lot more than a typical "administrative stay" from the Court, Jackson was stuck between a rock and a hard place-given the incredibly compressed timing that was created by the circumstances of the case. In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn't, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court's (forthcoming) review-and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have. In other words, it's a compromise-one with which not everyone will agree, but which strikes me as eminently defensible under these unique (and, let's be clear, maddening and entirely f-ing avoidable) circumstances.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Me offering $50,000 to transgender women is apparently against the official rules of this app. The same one that allows me to be called slurs every hour on the hour
This post contains language that may be considered a slur by X and could be used in a harmful manner in violation of our rules.

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.

99% of us on the wrong side of their doors

They get tax breaks, we pay twice, and fight their wars

And we wonder why they cut scholarships and aid

It’s designed to keep the status quo, we’re the new slaves

🧵 Trump’s administration said it couldn’t fund hunger relief, but it had no problem funding repression. They chose control over compassion, as per usual. 🧵
White background styled like an official government bulletin. Top text: “Issued by the Office of Uncivil Response and Resource Misapplication.” Gold parody seal featuring a headless eagle holding a gun and the Constitution. Headline: “CAPITOL DIRECTIVE 14339: FEEDING THE FEAR, NOT THE PEOPLE.” Body text: “Millions were about to go hungry. While food aid was in limbo, Trump ordered Quick Reaction Forces, federal units trained to keep protests quiet. He found money to scare you, but not to feed you.” Bottom line: “Public distribution authorized.”

I've been thinking about Matt Furie a lot during this period of political frog realignment, so I made this comic dedicated to him.
Color comic with multiple panels. Pepe the Frog, a lanky frog with a stoner expression on his face - but somewhat sad - walks away from a burning pile of 4chan logos and "Kek"s. He sees some commotion and perks up. In the next panel, he's shocked at the sight of dancing frogs, a la the Portland Frog inflatable costume protesters. One frog notices him, and reaches for his hand. The final panel shows the frog leading Pepe by the hand to the other dancing protesting frogs. The frog says "Frogs together strong," and Pepe says "feels good, man."
