They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Good to see @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social come out against ICE/DHS funding bill. This is important and it means he is hearing the base. Now we need him and his leadership to whip against this bill and urge all Senate Dems to do the same.

Any of my pale cool-undertoned friends got a good recommendation for a subtle lip stain? My lips have so little color so I'm just looking for something that can look like a natural color. (Stains only, I cant stand the feeling of stuff on my lips)

We actually don't need this and to the extent that we do, we can get all the ones we want by catering to the white voters without a four-year college degree who really wanna see these fuckers face consequences.

People here are outside patrolling their neighborhoods in this, trying to keep their neighbors safe from lawless armed masked goons. Armed with whistles and vests, they are essentially fighting a war against their own government and its ethnic cleansing campaign.

I thought my days of planning 21st birthday parties were long past but last night I planned one for my volleyball teammate from a queer league at a queer bar and her mom even came and thanked me and we danced and drank and played darts for 5 hours and man did I ever need a night filled of queer joy

I do think the bookish discourse that bores me the most is "the adaptation did this one little thing differently so it's bad." But it may also be "do audiobooks count" or "why can't I tag authors in bad reviews, can't they take critique?"

There is a site obviously created by AI that is pretending to be a continuation of Pitch Wars. It is not, has nothing to do with anyone involved in #pitchwars, and looks quite scammy. Please beware & tell your friends.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

"Last night, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell put the whole of the establishment wing of the Republican Party to shame. Not to mention every Republican federal lawmaker. Not to mention most lawmakers, regardless of party. Not to mention every damn member of the Trump administration."
"This is the look your well-respected math teacher gives you during a brutal discussion after they’ve tried their best to help you succeed and now they’ve caught you cheating on an exam and they’re beyond disappointed with your conduct."
