WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

There are only two situations where I've seen people actually use the term:
1. Lesbian parents when specifying which of the two of them gave birth
2. Trans men and non-binary people who have kids using that term *for themselves*
But Ana made it about her for no reason at all.

ICE continues to assault, harass, & harm Americans. In Minneapolis, incompetent tax payer funded ICE hit a pedestrian & pepper sprayed civilians from their vehicles.
This happened after ICE decided to go up & down a street demanding to see people's IDs, caused chaos & injuries, & then left.

just incredible optics here, the president yelling at you about how you should buy less and like it, three weeks before christmas, while standing in front of a bunch of stupefied moronic dipshits holding BIGGER PAYCHECKS signs
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

An ICE agent has been arrested for putting a woman in a chokehold and causing “serious physical harm”
Police said they had been called to the residence 22 times
It’s time we talk about what kind of men are attracted to being ICE agents
Hint: It’s men who would strangle a woman

Candace Owens’s bizarre conspiracy theories put Jews in danger.
Her fan base is enormous, diverse in many different ways, and they trust her immensely.
She is laser focused not on Palestine — as it may seem on the surface — but on spreading conspiracy theories rooted in ancient antisemitism.

People who care about principles on the left are just supposed to shut up and accept right wing policies. In reality, the “addition” of right wingers to the Dem Party only works if you don’t lose lefties by alienating them.
