In one of the greatest betrayals United States History,
@schumer.senate.gov and his Quisling Caucus are collaborating with fascists to pass a DHS spending bill WITHOUT language to Abolish ICE. They're content with the ethnic cleansing and the murder of US. citizens.

My latest on failure in both the US & UK to acknowledge what we are seeing with our eyes & hearing with our ears.

The old world is over. And we have to act fast.

Diseases are spreading in Gaza and medicine prices are extremely high. We urgently need $400 to survive. The situation is dire and unbearable. We are exhausted by illness and fear. Please help us and do not ignore our cries. Every minute matters. Please act now!!!!

You will not regret scrolling up for the rest of this thread about the sheer audacity of cats to walk into houses they don't live in and swan around like they own the place

Honestly, excellent cat behaviour 💯
Just imagine - you’re a cat, with presumably a house, but you ignore that house and come instead to *my* house, and you walk in like you own the place, and come and go as you please and do whatever you like whenever you like. Just imagine how smug you’d be. Pretty smug? Not as smug as this bastard.

I know this may come across as melodramatic rambling, but I am saying this sincerely, with my whole chest, to all my friends who live outside of the United States:

I know my country, the US, has failed on so many levels and we have hurt so many both at home and abroad.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

I don't want to see the video. I do not need to see it here to know that the federal government is lying because each and every time they have done so, and it's been proven repeatedly in a court of law. You do not have to watch it and you do not have to share it.

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall.

It's probably not your fault—too much news.

But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

Stop and read these.

In an era where the fact of someone's right to exist is a contentious political issue … these records bind us in commonality over centuries and across the globe.
Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.
