There are lots of things about US immigration enforcement to enrage an empathetic person rn. But the annoying thing that's been a thorn in my foot for decades - not the worst thing, but the thing that is most persistently annoying - is how they go to workplaces & arrest workers but not employers.

MAGA reaching back to the Yellow Peril days, except when someone asks SCOTUS for Yick Wo, they're all, "New phone. Who dis?"

I'm thinking of the old commercial where the Owl is asked how many licks it takes to get to the centre of a Tootsie Pop, except SPOILER instead of giving up after 3 licks and crunching through, it's just one. One act of genocide crunches everything.

We're now 8 points away from sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs.

No, seriously. At 2:25 in the video she says that "Hamas uses hospitals and other humanitarian areas as human shields." It's like she knows "human shield" is wrong, but doesn't know what a shield is, or a human for that matter. This is how the reptilian alien overlord theory gains credibility.

Reminds me of what I was saying after Skrmetti oral arguments. Except while many legal scholars are saying this is new and scary, **this is how it has always been done in equal protection cases** The courts have always be scary and lawless. They are only becoming more consistently so.

I appreciate the effort, ACLU, but with SCOTUS justices actively (and falsely) asserting that there has never been de jure discrimination against trans ppl **during the Skrmetti oral argument**, pretty sure that the legal landscape is going to become impassable w/in the next 30 days.

If you were angry about the RCC moving rapist priests to new positions of power in different cities so that they could rape again AND you're thinking about electing Cuomo to wield power in a new city, then congratulations. You're exactly as much a moral monster as the RCC.

Farmer v Brennan was the high point.

"Vandalized" is doing some heavy lifting here when it was just a piece of paper taped to his bumper that would have been gone in the next rain (or possibly even the first time he hit 45mph) even if he didn't lift a finger.

Best musical find since Chappell Roan.

Haven't listened to this yet, but it's on my list. The NC situation is v bad and while I'm up on some things political, I'm not the person to ask if the strategies are going to be repeated across the US. But you know who is the person to ask? Marc Freakin Elias. How lucky are we folks? Go listen!
