My dearest Gertrude,

I fear I shall not make it home. This war has ravaged our supplies and broken our will.

We arrived with weapons, purpose, and a directive. Yet at every turn, we are mocked. Belittled.

I have never experienced an insult so great in a war zone

Send my best to the children

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

good hyuck, babe! @markpopham.bsky.social · 2d

if you announce that you're breaking up with Nicole Kidman because she wanted too much sex you need to do it at a press conference where you're in a full body cast. just a little slit in the head area where a pair of wild, haunted eyes are staring out

If Democrats want to stop fascism, they have to stop their cops from beating & arresting anti-fascism protesters in their own cities

Why is that a thing I have to say out loud

13 arrested, 4 police officers injured during pro-Palestinian protest in Boston

Thirteen people were arrested, and four police officers were injured during a pro-Palestinian rally in Boston Tuesday night.

This is fascist.

"Regular" prisons constantly and regularly ban books.

That's fascist, too.

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet.

My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

Andy Ngo wants to draw your attention to Barney the dinosaur

I'm going to break my own rule; ugliness is an arbitrary construct and not an indicator of character.

Stephen Miller looks exactly like he should. Like hatred is eating him from the inside out until all that's left is a shief of skim milk flesh stretched taut over brittle bird bones.

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

In addition, the new rule allows farm employers to charge H-2A workers for their housing, which was not allowed before. "It's a way for employers to continue to house workers and also charge them, and bring down effective wages," said Marcos Lopez of the Labor and Community Center at the University of California, Davis.

Printers are like horses, they can sense fear and exploit it accordingly. The trick is to approach them with confidence and never show your belly.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Offsets can't cut carbon *even in theory*

The whole point of offsets is to create permission to *not* cut carbon.

So when they don't even live up to their own standard, they are so much worse.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.
