AuDHD etc. Everyone gets full human rights without exception or GTFO. Abolish ICE is the bare minimum. Weenie was my sweet jerkface tabby.

there’s also a lot happening in so many places; shit popping off elsewhere doesn’t mean calm for anywhere else

Current view. Will have an update later with actual chairs. (I typed and deleted several words like "hopefully" or "planning" because I don't get those, I am doing the thing damnit)

And in fact, quite a few dem electeds and a broad swath of digital activists are constantly rolling out new iterations of the fash-tech playbook while mistakenly expecting them to produce outcomes that don’t somehow further the culture and methods of fascism.

The deep story here is that faux-populist influencer technologies are not just undemocratic with a veneer of democratic freedom but are intensely anti-democratic, but you would be hard-pressed to know the difference if you weren’t thinking critically about it instead of trying to “build an audience”

THIS IS IMPORTANT

I posted briefly about this the other day but I wanted to post this subject again with a fuller thread to stress how this is the most important issue behind ICE in the streets at all.

Please give the full thread below a read.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Dear Rachel,

This is a good day to actually unpack and set up those chairs.

Love, Rachel.

P.S. Yes you may have more coffee first but you may not go to bed without chairs.

I don’t understand why so many of you seem to think that the Trump administration is either made up of clowns OR genuinely evil people

Didn’t “It” teach you those aren’t mutually exclusive

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.

But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

Same in Philly. Having lived there for a time during my time working at Harvard, I can assure you Waymos ain’t gonna work out in Boston either. They will be run off the roads and much worse.

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

very telling how normal people in MN really came together and risk life and limb for each other even when they're technically "strangers" but in the fallout of the epstein files all these rich fucking ghouls are happy to backstab and throw each other under the bus even tho they're all "friends"

Lots of folks saying “this is good” but no, it very much is not.

1) this is the 4th amendment
2) this is a historical norm at worst
3) this is already required
4) again, at worst an historic norm
5) 4A
6) 4A
7) fine
8) good if enforceable
9) useless
10) again, at worst a historical norm

This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

Randos on Bluesky doing aspirational posts about setting dumpsters on fire are not going to tip us into a spiral of violence, but an opposition party that is laser focused on appeasing Trump, the right, and their deadly goon squads will.

A busy day at Final Fantasy colony— we successfully trapped Laguna’s dad (one of the last couple intact males here & a perfect copy of his son) but while there, I noticed Setzer, a young male we did several weeks ago, had severe swelling in his legs & was avoiding walking. We’re at the ER now w/him.
