I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

Important to know that the very footage that is appalling all of us--rows of faceless men in riot gear, protestors running, clouds of gas--is what Trump and Miller and the MAGA-sycophant anti-city press have had a collective hard-on for since the campaign. This will be wall-to-wall on Fox all week.>

I don’t have any words. I don’t know what to do. I’m so ashamed of us, of the white people in this country who did this. I’m so fucking angry and heartbroken and scared.

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

Trump and Elon broke up

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

NEW: ALEC — a right-wing think tank known for drafting controversial anti-voting legislation like the SAVE Act — is launching a new task force that will focus on pushing a new slate of state-level voter suppression bills. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social‬

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Oh, and in other news: a year from now, I will finally be going to Japan! I'm taking a 2 week cruise out of Tokyo that goes down the east coast and back. So excited!

Messed around in the kitchen today and made Filipino food for dinner. I made garlic fried rice and Spam sisig. Delicious. The only bad thing was I forgot to eat with it the carrot pickles I made this weekend!

NEW: A nearly 90% funding cut proposed by the Trump administration would likely shut down and devastate the 37 tribal colleges and universities created to serve the students disadvantaged by the nation’s historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities. By @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

Just about every Republican/Trumpist complaint about public transportation is a poorly disguised version of “there are too many black people.”

Bonica’s data indicates that judges across the ideological spectrum are ruling against Trump at similar rates. He’s lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democratic-appointed judge. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Exclusive State Department records show: As the Trump administration abandons its humanitarian commitments, diplomats are reporting that the cuts have led to violence and instability while undermining anti-terrorism initiatives. By Brett Murphy & @annamaria.bsky.social

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Welcome to Trump's America, where you can bribe the president in exchange for legal immunity. The United States was founded on the principle that everyone is subject equally to the law. MAGA is converting us into a mafia state, a haven for obscene criminality.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Since the CDC guidelines for COVID vaccines are now just misinformation here is what the NHS (UK) says about COVID in pregnancy and the recommendation for vaccination. www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/ke...

A cast bronze memorial to the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 declares that "their heroism will never be forgotten." But the memorial itself has been forgotten, left in storage because Johnson's office has not had it hung @joeheim.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Black people cannot cure racism because it is not OUR problem. It is white people’s disease. Period. It’s contagious. Yes. But until yall decide to cure that cancer, we will continue this cyclical dehumanization of others
