Community organizer Ron Gochez says there has been "no due process" for many of those arrested in this weekend's anti-ICE protests. Some people, he says, have been flown out of the country and dumped in Mexico and Guatemala within 24 hours of arrest.

I’ve got two out of three! And I’ve _been_ to Philadelphia at least.

It's anglicization of the French "panseur" which literally means "horse groomer" but in the context of writing it refers to authors who carefully review their text again and again as if brushing out burrs & thistles.
So now you know and you don't have to google it!

I was born in ‘86 so I guess it’s my destiny to be an enemy of the state.

I may never achieve nirvana, but it’s clear now that Peak Portland Pinterest board is within my grasp.

Ahhhh! I never considered that possibility. This is why I fail at capitalism. #putaplantonit

I just don’t have the space to store it or the time to tinker with it if it’s not working. It’s very cool but I’m sure someone else will appreciate it more.

What people are ignoring is that ignoring the ongoing pandemic is a primary driver of the fall
Of the republic/rise of fascism. They’re completely intertwined and u can’t dismantle fascism while also promoting eugenics and pandemic denial. I hope u stay safe out there in CO, I know things are rough

I don’t think the fact that Trump, after being elected, is defying the constitution means that the constitution can’t be blamed for the fact that he was elected. And I think it’s worth thinking about how we might structure our government to prevent future authoritarian regimes; if we get the chance.

I don’t know about that. Just because that money didn’t come from the labor of the day trader who ended up with it doesn’t mean that it’s no one’s labor. It takes people’s labor to generate revenue, even if most of that revenue ends up in the hands of people who didn’t labor to generate it. Right?

to exist in society you have to pretend there wasn't and isn't a pandemic, that christiandom is broadly a force for good, and that america has roots in something noble and as a fairly honest person it's hard to do kayfabe about all 3 of those constantly

Are you talking to me? My whole point is that citizens cannot be deported, ergo what is happening to the citizens is not “deportation” but more accurately described as “exile” - my point is that using the word “deportation” to refer to exiling/expelling US citizens is wrong and dangerous.

I really wish journalists would stop referring to US citizens being illegally exiled and/or renditioned as “deportation” - citizens cannot be deported. Even if they were non-citizens, it would still be wrong, but words matter and we shouldn’t normalize the Trump regime’s doublespeak.

I guess to really put it in the simplest possible way: if you work for a living or are dependent on someone who works for a living, you are working class.

Workers get income from working (for themselves or others,) owners get income from owning assets that generate income without their work. If your income comes primarily from working, you are working class. If you could stop working and still comfortably, you’re part of the owning class.

they are tenured professionals with postgraduate degrees and they are also workers, ergo they are part of the working class. Your insistence that education, experience, and/or salary is what meaningfully determines what class someone is is arbitrary and counterproductive to the goals of all workers.

Sure, the contemporary colloquial definition of working class does have a meaning that is quite different from the classical and technical definition, yes. But I think it’s important to push back on this false distinction created to divide/distract us to empower ALL workers, including teachers.

There are no “middle class” jobs. If you work for a living, you are working class. Some jobs require more training, some jobs pay more, etc but they’re all “working class” jobs. “Middle class” is a fake category meant to divide the working class so we can all be more easily exploited. Try solidarity

I don’t know the context here, but I’m feeling a little called out just because I am 38 and I do watch a lot of Star Trek. But I am posting it on Bluesky, so I guess at least I’m not an imposter?
