Conversation that is also barely had is that some white atheists are super anti-Black and do not have a problem with white supremacy at all.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

Watching old horror movies on Peacock. They are so good! Yes, the practical effects can seem cheesy now and the actors really knew how to chew scenery but they did so much with so little

For non-US folks: IDEA is the rule that dictates that disabled kids are to have equal opportunities for a public education. Taking away the people who fund and enforce it is basically leaving disabled kids and their families to fend for themselves.

Vought’s daughter has cerebral palsy, and while she may not require “special” education, she would need adjustments if she attended any school.

Obviously, he is evil and does not care about hypocrisy, but I want people to remember: they’re taking this away from US, not themselves.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I used to go to the Long Beach (CA) Antiques Flea Market every month. One hot day, as I was in a booth, I looked over & Diane Keaton was next to me dressed in a cream colored, three-piece men's wool suit with gloves & hat to match.

Pretty much what she's wearing here 👇

"Bushart shared an image of President Donald Trump with the quote, "We have to get over it," which Trump said in January 2024 after a shooting at Iowa's Perry High School. Text added to the image said, "This seems relevant today."

Everything about this is bonkers. The arrest, the charge, the possible sentence, the **$2 million bail.**

No this has really annoyed me for a while now.

Crystal Frasier @amazonchique.bsky.social · 2h

This is the pettiest of complaints, but I’m sick of websites and apps removing “no” as an option. It’s been replaced by “maybe later” or “ask again later.”

I swear there is a direct line between anger about women’s consent and this and it WILL be what drives me to villainy.

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

One of the only welcome things about this current period in the U.S. is that the "this is not who WE are" stuff might finally be over.

Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world.

Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace.

Now, they’re being deported.

Haitian immigrants went to Colorado for the promise of jobs. What they found is being called human trafficking.
