TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda.

It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.

They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

ICE agents arrested a Chinese father and his 6-year-old son, separating the two and sending the father to Orange County Jail while the whereabouts of the son remain unknown as of Tuesday morning.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Fuck you if you support him.

The San Diego USCIS interview arrests just made the tv news while I was eating lunch. These things are finally being put in front of people who aren't actively looking for them.

Rep. Cammarck wants my entire family to disappear from America in the name of some cultural cohesion, the same way Nazis wanted my family to disappear from Austria (which they indeed achieve) for the same reason.
My opinion is that Rep. Cammarck is a Nazi PoS.

Northwestern’s Trump deal harms students and faculty by gutting research, abandoning Gaza justice, and giving $75 million to the Trump regime. Throwing your campus under the bus isn’t leadership — it’s cowardice. Hold NU accountable and demand they stand with their community over Trump.

"she had been deported in violation of a court order that a federal judge signed on Friday that said Ms. López could not be removed from the United States while her case was pending."
