I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

Mother is a verb as well as a noun, so I hope everyone can honor whatever mothers them and whatever capacity to mother they have, or the equivalent in whatever gender language works for them.

this administration is so clearly trying to decrease/shut off access to art and increase access to propaganda

By the way this isn't an obscure act; it was the one used to justify the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, the one never overturned by the Supreme Court or US District Court, even when Fred Korematsu's case was appealed in the 1980s.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Instead of filing taxes we should be dumping tea in the harbor (except tea is way too expensive and the harbor is a fragile ecosystem)

Living in my apartment feels like I’ve been given an impossible task by the gods, and if I somehow, someday complete it, I will be handsomely rewarded. The task is always just: find anything.
