Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

I wrote how it's critical we don't get distracted by the Trump/Musk childish feud & stay focused on protecting our Republic Now, SCOTUS just ruled to give DOGE full access to our private SSN data & I'm seeing comparably zilch coverage. Distraction is working.😐 www.qasimrashid.com/p/musk-v-tru...

Nadiya Hussain reveals BBC’s axed her cookery show, adding: ‘As a Muslim woman, I work in an industry that doesn't always support people like me or recognise my talent or full potential.There's a lot of gaslighting, making me feel like what's actually happening isn't happening.’

Merriam-Webster beefing with Alison Krauss. 😱

The Army Corps’ draft analysis admits the Line 5 tunnel project would destroy wetlands and could contaminate the water. Yet they’re still fast-tracking the project. Building a massive, experimental oil tunnel is a disaster waiting to happen for Tribes, for Michigan, and for the Great Lakes.

you can't tell at first because this is written in the exonerative tense, but she was shot *by another police officer*

My article about an infamous child porn distributor that barely mentions the heinous distribution of shockingly evil child sexual abuse has people asking a lot of questions etc etc

100% of people who need CPR are already dead

Weeping Trump Boys Told ‘Uncle Elon’ Blown Up In Rocket Accident

List making was one of the best features of this site but now Bluesky is just quietly deleting some and leaving people vulnerable. 🤬

As many of us people who study or work in tech tried to tell y’all, move fast & break things was always about POWER, not progress.

We’re all looking for the guy who did this.

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

Much respect for one of my favorite museums. They received this recently as a donation and sent it back to Mexico - and it wasn’t even in the US illegally.

Inspired by Vietnam-era activism, Stand Up For Science is hosting a series of teach-ins around the USA this summer, focusing on the importance of science and science funding. I’m doing one May 30th in Silver Spring. Many of you should consider doing one too, and I’m happy to help you plan it 🦑🧪🌎

I wonder if this is when we find out what happens to religious freedom of the Wrong Kind Of Christians.

Naming the white conservative/fascist/supremacist definition of "efficiency." The thing they want efficient is not machines, nor systems. The thing they want efficient is us. Human beings. They want to get more from us and they want to pay less. www.the-reframe.com/our-purpose-...

I've shared these a few times but will share again since people see things when they see them. Siembra NC Toolkit for creating ICE Rapid Response Networks is excellent: defendandrecruit.org

We are officially out of funds for our Mother’s Day 365 program due to the loss of 2 recurring grants due to attacks on our funders from the Trump administration. Please consider a donation to tpfwoman2woman.funraise.org for The Thurman Perry Foundation.

Apparently this is where la migra is getting recruited from. Saw it elsewhere; no further info. www.redballoon.work/posting/1260...

I’m calling on Secretary Kennedy to resign. We are sick of it. He must go!

And why was Baraka there in the first place? Turns out the private prison facility is violating the law, but also unwilling to be served with legal process apple.news/AV9JgWB8fQq6...

Republicans are Nazis.

Call your Congresscritters. In addition to hands down the best government social media account — @cpsc.gov —Consumer Product Safety Commission does necessary & important work and needs our support. I like consumer products that won’t poison, choke, immolate, irradiate, or electrocute me (etc)

Amazing. UHC shareholders are suing because after the CEO shooting, the company was “no longer willing” to use “aggressive, anti-consumer tactics” to generate the profits they were promised. A gift from the content gods.

Go off King
