If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

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.”

Well the word "tariff" is getting worn out, on to the next horrible word "recession"...

Yes, the captain intentionally piloted the ship into a huge iceberg, cracking the vessel like an egg. But the officers insist we'll all greatly benefit from an invigorating midnight swim through Arctic waters.

Don’t you dare call my baby geriatric

Sign of the day…Chicago

Everyone: we don’t think retaliatory tariffs are a good idea because we still think we should be kissing the arse of an unpredictable autocrat China: we make our own shit now, fuck you

Tariffs will be lifted on penguins who agree to be completely white. by Stephen Miller

Worried about a recession? This sheet-pan water pie will make you feel like it's the 1930s again.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

One of the reasons the liberal establishment abandoned MeToo—and joined + solidified the backlash against it, leading to the refusal to call out egregious sexual violence on the right—is because sexual violence doesn’t discriminate by party. There are abusers anywhere there’s power

Friday moment of zen. A reminder that peace and safety is all that matters in the end. Wish that for everyone.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Remember that the people on the Signal chat include the US negotiators on Ukraine. It is no wonder that Putin is twisting them around like taffy at the county fair. #signalgate

The safer you are in an environment of rising authoritarianism, the more obligation you have to make some noise on behalf of the people who are more vulnerable than you. Indeed, this is the only way you might avoid having the leopards eat your face.
