NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Millionaires stop paying into Social Security today. That’s because they've now made $176,100, and hit the contributions cap. Billionaires made that much about an hour into the year. Elon Musk did in just 15 minutes. Tax the rich. Scrap the cap.

Be kind to a someone today. Everyone is walking around scared. Some are right on the edge and others push it to their unconscious but no one is immune. This plane has all the makings of hell but it can be the opposite when we connect with each other

I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show

As the SAG strike continues, be aware that many US projects may come to the UK to circumvent it. UK actors can’t legally step away from booked work, but for new auditions, be sure to ask questions of your auditions and make informed decisions. The fight for protections from AI is international!

governments should spend money, literally all their fucking money. on taking care of the people from whom they got the money. on building cool shit for the people from whom they got the money to use, like highways and public works. this is real easy how can these people be so bad at this

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

they are talking this way about gamers because they know that without modern gaming online culture, starting out with gamergate, the current cultural rightwing movement wouldn’t be what it is. without gamergate there wouldn’t be paid ads for adolf hitler on twitter

Being rude to Trump & the GOP is both cathartic and a smart political strategy. Let me explain: One of our goals as a party needs to be driving down Trump’s approval ratings.

Pro tip: if you’re the sort to go to drink clubs just to drink and “watch,” just know that every dancer in there hates you. If you aren’t at least tipping the dancers you’re watching, GTFO. They don’t dance for free. In fact, most of them pay more to work there than you do to get in. House fees.

CW police brutality to disabled people As we see calls for civil disobedience ramp up again, I want to remind folks that 50% of excessive force deaths in police custody are disabled people. There is a misapprehension that cops are hesitant to harm disabled folks. That is not true.

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

We are devastated to see 20% of our beloved colleagues laid off by the same leadership who have yet to recognize our union. We demand that leadership at Sesame Workshop bargain with us over the terms of these massive layoffs. Consider letting them know that you expect the same.

Some of us can’t even get SSI. The gray area between “too disabled to work but not disabled enough for benefits” that many of us with invisible and misunderstood illnesses fall into is not great. The system was fucked before and is only getting more so.
