Dubai chocolate? Yes I do buy chocolate every day

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

When you suggest watching All That Jazz or The Goodbye Girl and your wife says she doesn't like "old movies." 😿

LOL at Ted Cruz recasting himself as Luke Skywalker when he is clearly a feckless Admiral Motti type (Lindsey Graham is Salacious Crumb)

Read the fuckin' room

Bard Lander and Eric Adams, they are the same picture

this headline is complete fucking horseshit btw, this is what he actually said

This is who runs this account

Laser focused on the issues (being awful)

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts granted class status to trans people in the passport gender marker change case and extended the prelim. injunction to the class. Trans people will be able to update their gender markers on their passports immediately. ecf.mad.uscourts.gov/doc1/0951130...

Today’s arrest of @bradlander.bsky.social is just one disturbing example of what ICE does every single day across the country. It’s not interested in law and order—this is about spreading fear. New York City will not stand for it.

"The Iranians" includes millions of civilians who hate their government, and I don't think we should be bombing them?

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

"what were the 2000s like?" they were just this. nintendo sold a tribal tattoo game console and it came with a winamp skin

"I will be fine, but Edgardo is not fine. And the rule of law is not fine."

What about when there is video clearly showing that nothing at all like that happened, not to mention dozens of witnesses

HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are protesting against ICE’s illegal arrest of NYC comptroller Brad Lander.

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant' this aint that

Getting harder and harder to argue the NYT isn't complicit

I would just like to go on record as saying: the fuck

Today in fascism

We’re just a hostage situation in a trenchcoat pretending to be a country

A handheld Nintendo Console that is a marginal but noticeable improvement upon its predecessor with the backdrop of an unnecessary war in the middle east predicated upon the shaky premise of the existence of weapons of mass destruction? Welcome back, Gameboy Advance SP.

Look geopolitics is messy. On one hand you have a theocratic axis Regime with mass protests & masked troops in the streets; a self-glorifying military parade; the targeting of everyday people, protestors, the press and opposition; aims to wipe an entire people off the map. And then there’s also Iran

New York City also has a population of around 9 million. Imagine the U.S. had been bombed in an unexpected attack, and the attackers' closest ally only responded with "I guess Trump and the GOP should have listened to me. If you live in NYC you'd better leave."

I do love that we’re just re-using plots from the Bush administration now. “We have to stop Iran from getting WMDs” bro you changed like one letter

What if instead of foregrounding the right to defend oneself we focused on the right not to be attacked
