The only correct ethical and moral stance to have is the complete abolishment of ICE. There is no way you can look at this organization and think it can be reformed in any meaningful way.

New Legislation Frees Up President To Do Pretty Much Anything, Really theonion.com/congres...

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

I don’t know what these are but I’ll take 50 🤤

There is actually a very accurate historical document of the post-9/11 vibes. A clipart comic called Get Your War On. Click on through: www.mnftiu.cc/2001/10/09/w...

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

It's heeeeere

"The cloud" isn't real, it's a bunch of computers someone else is running for you. You're not paying them. If they ever choose to stop hosting your data, you're screwed. YouTube hosts billions of videos for free, this is unprecedented. Backup what's important to you. It will not last forever.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

If the crew of the Madleen hadn't posted updates constantly, Israel's terrorist occupation forces would have killed them. You can tell this because Israeli messaging is impotently furious about the posting. They deride it in a way that makes clear it's all they're thinking about

anyways please watch this edit that sent me into hysterics and now I need to redo my makeup

This is relatively small potatoes all things considered, but I keep wondering: how are we ever going to host the 2028 Olympics in an environment like this?

Finally finished polishing up this bad boy. Shutter curtain: Tensioned Rangefinder: Calibrated Ready to take out into the field and shoot 4x5 like God intended. Handheld

RIP GW

Most of my friends think I'm wasting my time and, I probably am. But I had to try. Here is an open letter, and an honest plea, to Clarence Thomas, in hopes that he might do the right thing this decision season. He hates me as much as I hate him. But I had to try.

Holy shit this is amazing

GOOD NEWS: After Utah’s flag ban, Salt Lake City got creative—officially adopting 3 beautiful new flags for Pride, trans visibility & Juneteenth. Each uses the city’s sego lily, turning symbols of inclusion into permanent civic pride. Progress and love still fly high!

BUTLERIAN JIHAD!

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Oh. news.climate.columbia.edu/2020/03/16/e...

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
