“.. millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws” lasted about a week. 🤡

"Excuse me. My eyes are up here"

A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that recent Columbia graduate and Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported—even though Khalil has a green card, is a lawful permanent resident, and has not been charged with any crimes.

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Bill Maher

Elon Musk flew with Trump on Air Force One from Palm Beach to Miami. DOGE is a scam.

Its what everyone needs if you want to be patriotic (or plain psychotic!)

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

NPR first reported on the case of Charles Givens, a disabled inmate at Virginia's Marion Correctional Treatment Center, in 2023. Four corrections officers were accused of beating him to death and a fifth accused of negligence. Givens' sister, Kymberly Hobbs, sued the five men.

Truth is generally the best vindication against lies.

Whats a tariff again?

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years

Bukele has some constraints of his own working against the charade. His official line is they *are* being held for the US, they're accused of nothing under Salvadoran law even through the usual sham process, and b/c of that he dodges directly saying he'd refuse if the US said release or return them.

📌All of this surrendering and capitulation by “marquee” Democrats points to a larger problem within the party itself. People are sick and tired of their sick and tired act. 📌Either you believe the grotesque Trump is an extreme threat to America and the values you claim to care about, or you don’t.

They’re not just trying to silence dissent—they’re trying to bury it. Innocent men locked away in a foreign prison, all to protect the lies of a felon and his administration. This isn’t about justice. It’s about control. And America is complicit by staying quiet. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

An email sent by the Department of Homeland Security instructs people in the US on a temporary legal status to leave the country. But who the email actually applies to—and who actually received it—is far from clear. www.wired.com/story/homela...

Who’s gonna tell this clown the news?

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name." -- John Stuart Mill (1867)

Today in California. They truly care…

Why is the Republican Party blocking married women from voting? Simple. More women vote Democrat than Republican. ================================

After Wisconsin Elon lost his standing privileges

It feels like a bunch of psychologically damaged people are working out their issues on an entire country.

A federal judge in Maryland wants the government to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S. after the Supreme Court largely upheld her original order.

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Of course! Tim Cook went to Donald Trump‘s inauguration for a reason. Kissing the ring paid off…

The GOP bill, a direct product of President Donald Trump’s decade-long obsession with illegal voting, would require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, bar states from counting late-arriving mail ballots, and dramatically infringe on states’ authority to run elections.

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.
