My Aerith's hair has come a long way

Being a homeless trans woman who sings aloud to myself last year, she was more of a comfort than ever.

Jeez, I thought I was the only person who remembered Lone Survivor exists.

The Mister Hilter sketch just isn't funny anymore, and I wonder if it never quite was funny, merely grim.

The vast majority of the country has no idea how out of control ICE is right now. Yes, there's reporting on ICE raids and protests, but most people are not seeing photos and videos of horrific incidents like this, or the apartment building raid.

If most people did know they'd be horrified.

“Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the war’s many indirect victims.”

Like, instead of getting photo ops of them busting up homeless camps.

And frankly this preoccupation with winning over conservative voters who will never fuckin' vote for them has been disastrous for Democrats.
I mean, I can't find a violin small enough, but my point is it ALSO DOESN'T BLOODY WORK and they need to actually improve people's lives.

I adore Hana.

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.

Pure ridiculous greed.

Zelda has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of AI for YEARS, long before the technology got to where it is now, because she's:

1) brilliant (go watch Lisa Frankenstein).
2) ridiculously smart.
3) experienced first-hand how fucking WEIRD people are about her Dad.

This is hazardous - being hogtied like this makes it difficult to breathe, because all your weight and pressure is on your chest, and it’s hard to expand your lungs. I’ve seen people pass out from being hogtied, and without QUICK intervention, bad things happen. Positional asphyxia is real.

She wasn't really "deported," was she?

She was in international waters when Israel illegally boarded her ship, detained her, and then bought her into Israel before shipping her to Greece.

That sounds like a lot of things but "deported" is not one of them.

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

She's treating a calculator with more humanity than she does half her userbase.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Greta Thunberg is held prisoner by Israel at a jail in the Negev. Read what Sweden’s embassy in Israel reports are the conditions of her detention ⬇️

Now just imagine: if Israel treats a world-famous Swedish activist this way, how badly are its prisons abusing Palestinians?

I can't talk about the local cops without an alarming list of content warnings, and the leadership and middle management both are explicitly part of the problem.
Never welcome cops into your community. Don't call them except to cover your ass or if you think someone getting shot will improve things.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.
