One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Me reading another article uncritically stating that “90% of US farms are small farms & approximately 99% of them are family farms”.
- Many small farms are residential operations often used to reduce taxes;
- Family farms can be owned by individuals or corporations, the term is meaningless.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

I work with Blue Missouri because our organization writes actual checks to down-ballot Democratic candidates.

No one else does what we do.

Other organizations give training or advice or texting services. While those things are important, candidates need $ to reach voters. bluemissouri.org

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

Ah, okay, fictional characters cannot be autistic, good to know.

Google search for "is blaze the cat autistic"

AI Overview response, "No, Blaze the Cat is not depicted as autistic in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, as autism is a developmental disorder and she is a fictional character. However, some fans and content creators have noted how the characters and settings in the Sonic series, with their distinct colors and predictable traits, can appeal to autistic individuals by providing comfort and stimulation, according to a YouTube video."

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Columbus City Schools may have to stop bussing high school students entirely because Ohio law requires public school districts to prioritize bussing for charter and private school students - and the state is already fining Columbus more than $10 million/year for not complying enough

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

Democratic Party turboloyalists are often some of the most toxic people I've ever encountered. Whereas the Right are generally honest about all the vile things they think and believe, this group of centrists adds the additional insult of pretending to have some sort of morality and knowledge. Vile.
