I am a New Yorker, and even a cursory review of my timeline would indicate I am a strong opponent of MAGA.

But I most assuredly do NOT have her back. Claiming a Virginia home as your primary residence when you are the New York AG?? Really? And other shenanigans.

Sorry, just NO.

Every day, sometimes 10x, we have to see the ICE commercials all over NFL, MLB games, and other events, sportscasts, WWE, AEW, They are desperate to get help in their fake anger and help Stephen Miller get his Civil War.

This was awesome to see!

5 reasons why MAGA hate Bad Bunny/Benito-

He

-is a genuinely good human who has not let fame go to his head.

-has far more charisma than their god-king.

-is a Latino US citizen.

-is beloved by a large section of the country.

-publicly told the truth about ICE, and backed it up with actions.

Right? It's like the TKO goons can't process that someone voluntarily turned them down 😂

This is one of those things where there isn't room for reasonable disagreement, no gray area.

You're either a good person, or you support ICE. Full stop.

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital."

Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth.

Some experience dangerous complications as a result.

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk

Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.

Seriously, enough. Get this fascist propaganda off all television, including #AEWDynamite.

Keep submitting feedback to TBS, Warner and HBO. Show them that their willingness to accept money and give airtime to ICE recruitment openly promotes harm to communities and families. Absolutely unacceptable.

that would be the proper way to book this storyline, you are correct- but I have less than zero confidence that Frankie Goes to Hollywood will go in that direction #GH

NJ governor’s race goes ham after Dem Mikie Sherrill declares: ‘Who eats pork roll? I think that’s gross’

But all was not what it seemed. Sherrill was just opening a new front in the NJ war over what to call the state’s favorite breakfast meat.

want specifics? this is just the most recent example:

went to buy tix for a show here in bklyn

9:50 AM: I was online for the 10 AM presale

10 AM: randomly (?) assigned a place in the queue

10:03 AM: reached front of queue "no tickets available"

10:05 AM: stub hub showed 25+ ticket listings 😡

metropia @metropia.bsky.social · 3d

There is a special place in hell 4 people who buy tickets to a concert for the express purpose of immediately reselling them, thereby denying real fans the opportunity to see their favorite artist

And f🤬 you too Ticketdisaster and AXS Ticketing, for enabling this behavior in the first place

😡 😡 😡

sorry bruh - but after defending Raja Jackson, I have no use for this clown or anything he has to say #WrestleSky

still have an account on the bird app - though it is in disuse

find it quite interesting that my notifications somehow include all manner of Trump-adjacent cretins - even though I never interacted or even viewed any of their tweets
