Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

Nothing is more annoying than walking up intent on self-care. The internal debate about whether to drink just heat water with some ginger & honey or to make overly sweet hot chocolate is so hard. Both are about the self and a form of care, but only one is going to help me avoid cavities.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Thinking about the time Sacha Baron Cohen, while shooting "Who Is America?," accidentally uncovered a Las Vegas child sex trafficking ring for billionaires and politicians and the FBI's response was just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Similarly, Bovino testified that he has instructed his officers to arrest protesters who make hyperbolic comments in the heat of political demonstrations…”
Overnight court filings seem to be giving us a peek at what U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said in his deposition so far (it apparently continues today):

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

The phrase "childhood food insecurity" is such a bullshit clinicism. Real ones can tell you about how they strategized around what gave them the most access to free food. Or chose to skip an activity because "it'll leave me too hungry after." Or creatively lied to avoid the pitying looks of others.

The Trump administration is limiting enforcement of fair housing laws, dismissing them as ideologically driven and DEI in disguise, according to interviews and internal documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Interviews and internal documents show that signature civil rights protections in housing are being dismissed as ideologically driven and D.E.I. in disguise.

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment

In addition to scraping your uploads for "generative AI" training, Academia dot edu is going to start claiming rights to your personal info— *including your signature & voice*— for anything they see fit.

So now'd be a good time to remove all of your uploaded works, & then delete your whole account.

Spending 3 hours refreshing, changing and editing my old wordpress blog that I stopped using in 2017.

Consider what to do about food...only cause the headache is growing.

they don’t even know what they’re voting *on*
None of the ACIP understand that they just voted to maintain VFC coverage for the MMRV vaccine for kids under 4 (50% of US kids) through one vote—a good thing!—while removing the overall recommendation for any kid to get it (and thus ending ACA coverage requirement for kids with private insurance).

You might think it should be a non-controversial belief among Democrats that "DC should be able to self-govern.

But 31 House Democrats just voted to give Trump and Congressional Republicans full control over DC's sentencing laws.

Imagine in 2025, after all the times Black women warned literally everyone about everything that’s happening right now, announcing that Black women commentators are just very paranoid

When we have been right???????? This whole time????? About pretty much everything????????????!

Black women are telling you not to register to attend a protest because we have parents and family and friends and church folks who survived the Civil Rights movement and in some cases didn’t

And also because we read and in some cases do historical work

But hey if you wanna listen to random dude

I've been shown evidence that Asmongold, Grummz, Llamatodd, et al, are attempting to have my account (along with a number of others) here taken down because of current political events.

I have purposefully said nothing in regards to it.

If my account is taken down, it is for being a trans woman.
