I mostly lurk because you all are more interesting than me. Professional computer nerd, amateur at everything else. The Chicago Bears are the greatest football franchise ever. Fight me.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I literally ordered this shirt from @harebrained.bsky.social 2 days ago.

I lost some weight and need new clothes but so far about 75% of my purchases in shirts have been from them and @raygundraygun.bsky.social.

I regret nothing.

It's too bad that his career may be totally fucked now because he had the gall to suggest we treat people like human beings with basic dignity and rights.

Wild. I wonder what that'd be like.

Tweet from 11/2/24 showing Harry Sisson and his 4 friends in a car that reads “we’re Gen Z voters and we all PROUDLY voted for Kamala Harris! Real men support Harris”

Robert J O’Neill quotes it with

“You're not men. You're boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.”

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

This raid is disgusting, abominable behavior, traumatizing children and families in their homes.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

There was no characterization. That’s what he said.

But this is Speaker Johnson. Too scared to speak with integrity. Too weak to lead.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7d

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

S: Those are quotes

It’s Monday, the gyre is widening, and I am once again asking for your support. My Republican opponents have loaned themselves $50k and $100k respectively, trying to make it look like they have large support.

I believe a candidate should be for the people.
