It's pretty clear at this point that they literally nothing more than armed thugs arresting brown people for being brown... and they are sticking with decent folks because gang bangers scare them, and the richies aren't giving up their undocumented nannies, cooks, gardeners, and housecleaners.

The fact that Fort Worth Texas has a back log of over 900 rape kits they 'don't have time' to test, but Texas Sheriffs did have the time to spend a month tracking a woman who MIGHT have been going out of state for an abortion tells you all you need to know about what Texas thinks about women..

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

A homecare nurse came to start IV. Getting them to mask was a battle. Then they refused to wash their hands. Told me it was aseptic, not a sterile technique. They had taken 2 elevators to get to me, and were about to stick me with a needle. Infection control how I miss thee.

And when we, the patients, complain or refuse to allow them to ignore protocol, we're tagged as Hostile Patients or Non-Compliant by the home healthcare agencies. It's only if our doctors advocate for us that we may get a better care. It's not threading a needle, it's a mine field.

I have tried to get normal people to believe this and it's basically impossible. A tidal wave of death and suffering was being held back by a trivial piece of the US budget, but our brains just aren't wired to understand the world that way.

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday. They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials. THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

I doubt we should have any exception to the policy "The president should not murder his enemies" but I am 100% willing to observe a controlled experiment with n=1 to test my theory. I am a man of science.

Good for Gov. Walz, who refuses to throw marginalized children under the bus because it's a "difficult" topic. As a high school teacher and football coach, Coach Walz was the faculty sponsor for Mankato High School's Gay-Straught Alliance student club. Thank you Coach for this great example!

Most people think COVID is mild, doesn’t have long term effects, and that they have lasting immunity—because that’s what the New York Times, the Atlantic, NPR, Good Morning America, and all the rest, tell them.

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.
