Just throwing this out into the void I guess

I make a sincere effort to never intentionally misgender someone, but we all make mistakes and if you notice me inadvertently misgendering anyone I would appreciate a little grace and the opportunity to correct myself

Stephen Miller goes on camera saying ICE is fighting Antifa on the streets because the country is a war zone with dangerous criminals out to destroy America and then the video will just cut to a video of a group of ICE officers suplexing a 110-year-old blind nun

REI easily top of the list of companies most likely to do a land acknowledgement before layoffs

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 12h

REI is closing unionized stores. So many companies that like to pretend to be progressive remain still virulently anti-union at their core. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/08/b...

REI Co-Op’s Boston location is set to close next year - The Boston Globe

REI said it will close three locations on the East Coast, including a store in Boston, as it launches a new strategic plan.

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.
