Can’t sleep

An only-in-SF drama: earbud lost somewhere in the cable car tracks.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

every word of this kfor.com/news/local/w...

Teachers are built different

If ICE agents aren’t doing anything wrong, why do so many of them wear masks?

Get Isabella on every media outlet. @msnbc.com @meidastouch.com Olympian, Veteran, dedicated Forest Service civil servant. Fucked over by the criminals in DOGE.

I must not reply. Replying is the mind-killer. Replying is the little own that brings total obliteration. I will draft my reply. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the reply has gone there will be nothing.

Ricardo Prada Vásquez, a Venezuelan immigrant and delivery worker, was detained while attempting to re-enter the U.S. after accidentally taking a wrong turn into Canada. He does not appear on any lists and his family and friends have no idea of his whereabouts. He has essentially disappeared.

Ahhh, for the days when confident men wore long hair and sang songs where you could understand the words🩷🙌🏽🩷 My peeps! I was 14 when the song came out. @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

Washington Post mentions the 50501 protests wapo.st/3GehWEZ (gift article) happening TOMORROW, SATURDAY 4/19

It’s not “deported,” it’s “imprisoned in a foreign country without due process.”

A gay makeup artist. A father & sheet metal union apprentice. A teenager seeking asylum. What do they have in common? Trump’s secret police disappeared them to a gulag in El Salvador & won’t bring them back. Andry José Hernández Romero Kilmar Ábrego García Merwil Gutiérrez. Remember their names.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Put up or shut up time for the Supreme Court

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

O’Brien: How does one man assert his power over another, Winston? Winston: By making him suffer. O’Brien: Exactly. By making him suffer. - George Orwell, 1984

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Say his name.

“A world in which federal courts lack the power to order the government to take every possible step to bring back to the United States individuals like Abrego Garcia is a world in which the gov’t could send any of us to a Salvadoran prison without due process…” www.stevevladeck.com/p/138-abrego...

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

Please read this.

"The show-within-a-show stars John Cho, Jack McBrayer, Clark Gregg, and DeWanda Wise, sporting outrageous hairstyles and costumes that make the stylings of A Flock of Seagulls look like business casual." oh my God they're doing Sanctuary Moon, say thank you Apple TV+

This is a good, detailed, look at what it takes to be a small electronics manufacturer in 2025 and how completely fucked they are by Trump

Scum comes in all kinds of uniforms

This is high art

newspapers are still bad at covering protests. They’re late to the game, they’re not sure how to write about, they default to what happened early in day or just in their city. Big dailies don’t put big picture writers on job. 3-5 million people rallied all over country today. That’s fucking huge

The Trump administration claims the right to throw a man with legal status into a black hole Central American prison, affording him no due process, to admit afterward it was a mistake, and then to get snide with the judge who tells them to fix it.

Today we march—nationwide! Join us and make some good trouble!

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs? Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead? Try not to stay up too late tonight.

No tariffs on Russia. Huh?
