The Big Beautiful fucking Bill needs folks to call in and people are … doing that They are also showing up to courts , doing trackers of everything under the sun, preparing elections and uh trying to stay fed And outside of MEDIA AND SENATORS WITH ACTUAL JOBS What do you want folks to DO

He's trying to make the ADL into a Republican front group, and that is actively harmful to the cause of combating antisemitism.

"If [a sitting homeless person's] arms are out wide and he's holding a big sign, he's blocking people from walking. So they'd say, 'You can arrest him' ... Let's say you had an attractive woman sitting on the sidewalk. You were to leave her alone and to only deal with the homeless people."

game conferences

this!!!! it may be hard for some to accept that the government could be this cruel (especially when they've largely had positive interactions with law enforcement) but federal agents are, in fact, the one terrorizing immigrant communities right now.

A quick thought on “smuggling” vs. “trafficking,” two terms which Bondi used somewhat interchangeably. Generally, people pay to be smuggled; it’s a service. Trafficking, by contrast, is involuntary; no one wants to be trafficked. That distinction is key in thinking through the allegations.

hey, just following up with a quick legal ethics question: why did you ask your client whether he had information which could be used to blackmail the President?

"In 2021, New York Democratic leaders blocked a vote on a bill that would have created a universal single-payer health care system ... even though it had the support from the majority of lawmakers. A similar bill was reintroduced in the state Senate this January, but it has not moved forward."

Claiming that “white supremacists are infiltrating law enforcement” misunderstands both white supremacy and law enforcement. Water doesn’t “infiltrate” a stream.

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.

This is so funny. Chris Murphy is a SENATOR. You FUCKING KEEP TELLING PEOPLE YOU CANNOT STOP THIS BILL. Shut the hell up. If people lose their health care, it has more to do your useless asses than a *made for Twitter* fight. Loser.

"Immigration enforcement is a pillar of the carceral state. It is not broken; it is functioning exactly as designed. These bills weaponize that system further, deputizing local governments into the hands of federal repression. ... They target Black and Brown communities with surgical precision."

I want to remind everyone that without Elon Musk, we wouldn't be in this situation where our academic institutions, science enterprise, and democracy are being dismantled, and millions of additional people around the world are going to die. We want both of them to lose horribly in this fight.

"We have a particular duty to show up ... because we are not being actively targeted in the way that Palestinian students, Muslim students and Arab students are."

Trump also does not know what kayfabe is

anyone associated with Stanford owes the country at least this

AmeriCorps programs that DOGE had tagged for elimination must be reinstated, along with the volunteers they support, in 24 states that sued to save them

"The administration halted work on thousands of pending discrimination cases ... If you submitted a complaint or had a case closed this year, or if you have a currently pending case, we want to hear about your experience. We're also interested in connecting to people with other insights about [ED]."

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

once again I must tap my own sign

Had a really nice time canvassing tonight for Zohran! People are a lot more engaged and everyone I spoke to was committed to not ranking Cuomo and ranking strategically to stop him. Had a lot of nice chats and got an 18 year old to register for his first ever election. 10/10 highly recommend.

*opens jar of chili crisp* wake me up *grabs mug of hot coffee* i can't wake up *holds up jar of chili crisp* save me *pours chili crisp into mug* call my name and save me from the dark

A key objective of the real estate lobby is gutting NYC’s “Green New Deal” law, Local Law 97. It makes landlords invest in their properties to raise energy efficiency, which creates jobs, reduces pollution & cuts utility bills. As Gov, Cuomo tried to gut it. These stakes are high! 🧵

This is correct, and the proper historical parallel for this is, literally, old fashioned monarchy, in which the country is legally the private property of the king or queen. The people have no title to power in his country. A bunch of 19th century European politics was just a fight to abolish that

Also, to be temporarily serious, I hate that my political awareness as a citizen in a so-called representative government requires keeping up with the personal relationship of an unhinged billionaire private citizen and the man to whom he gifted the presidency

“why are u posting this ridiculous stuff instead of focusing on the real issues” sir i am a red panda in a darth suit

Im probably gonna get in trouble for doing this,but Im gonna do it anyways I keep seeing all y’all stealing my Raising Canes cutouts and taking me to cool places,,, DO IT! Whoever steals me and takes me on the best adventure this summer,, I’m gonna pick one of ya and take ya to Canes with me

What the everlasting f**k

Two or three generations deep into cheap Ikea-Wayfair-Amazon alphabet soup furniture and nobody in the movies is clearing a desk to fuck on top of it anymore because we know better. Getting railed bent over that pressboard dresser? I think not.

If only there had been some way to know that these people were only loyal to themselves and would destroy anything and everyone on a whim to serve their own self-interests, if only there had been some warnings, like years of plainly observable words and actions, but alas,

one time I posted something like this and it broke containment and I had some bro lecturing me on the use of commas. biTch, it's called modernism, look, into, it,

It took just 15 years to get from Citizens United to this

AYFKM.

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Actually, it's two men.

Greta really about that fucking life and I ain't forgot how folks was saying she was just doing it for fame and views.
