I think it's neat how the theme song from the Disney "Gummy Bears" animated tv show is probably in your head right now

Man, I fucking miss those circus performers

Saw some discourse about how "Anne Frank was hiding from Nazis, not ICE" when comparing ICE to Nazis. And, I mean, that's kinda just wrong? Anne Frank was hiding *to avoid deportation*. She was, at the time of writing most of her journal, an undocumented German immigrant to Netherlands.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

s/masked federal agents/unidentified assailants/ Fixed that for you. There is no indication that they are agents of the federal government. They're just a bunch of random guys in masks who do not identify themselves or enforce any federal laws. ICE does not have authority to detain US citizens.

Both my "ACAB" feelings and my "not a furry" feelings are really put to the fuckin test by Judy Hopps, just sayin.

Spitting FIRE holy shit 🔥

Agreed that many police departments (or more precisely, police unions) aren't really under democratic control. skiles.blue/blog/busines...

Your daily opossum break:

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Vance having to attend this nightmare on his wedding anniversary is too much schadenfreude. I can't. I'm overloading.

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

Do. Not. Disturb. The. Mysterious. Ancient. Rune-inscribed. Skull-adorned. Ring. Found. In. The. Idyllic. Countryside. Seriously, there's a whole book about this. And movies. Long ones!

Like 11 million people perfectly capable of marching and yelling a bunch without anything violent happening until the most consistently terrified people on the planet (cops) decide to start shit

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

we have the numbers, they don’t. unfortunately what they do have is people willing to do targeted assassinations to swing control of state legislatures, a right wing media ecosystem willing to immediately lie that he was a leftist, and control of the security services. the question is, what’s next?

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte

Remembering Mikeal Rogers blog.izs.me/2025/06/mike...

Academics who’ve been living and working on govt grants (as you should, btw) and have had your funding stripped: you might as well start acting like the enemies of the state that you are.

The lower bound estimate for just the cost of shipping the M1 Abrams and Bradleys to Washington DC by rail is $750,000.00 Just the shipping costs. Using 2023 freight shipping costs. Could feed and house a family for 30 years

The shortcoming of the (extremely good) ring theory of grief, is that a person is not one point, and relationships do not all exist along the same continua of intimacy, so quantitatively comparing intensity or degree of loss is impossible except to a *very* rough approximation.

As the government is putting up photos and rewards for protesters that they want to go after, remember that the person who called in the tip about Luigi never got paid.

autistic gym content creators are genuinely my favorite people on the internet because they lay everything out directly and are allergic to bullshit

This. A lot of people are saying, correctly, what a large impact he had on open source, on js, on node. And that's all true. But the thing I think few saw, his unique rare light, is that Mikeal was INTENSE in his special interests, and so unflappably kind and earnest.

Grief is real fucking exhausting.

Car crashes have killed or seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year, but only one of these things is treated as a public safety crisis.

Feeling numb and sad today.

BREAKING The City of Glendale, California — one of the most populous cities in Southern California — says it has terminated its contract with U.S. Homeland Security and ICE.
