it is unbelievably funny that Curtis Yarvin has tried to pick a fight with Joyce Carol Oates — she is 1) a known killer online and 2) a modestly crazy 86 year old woman, which makes losing to her simultaneously inevitable and embarrassing

always struck by how everyone who screams “we’re full” citing the strain on services is also viciously opposed to the safety net

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

Logging on to X to tell Elon he’s one of the top Path of Exile 2 players on the planet as I clean up trash outside my local Tesla.

This is only happening because of the activism and noise people have been making about Jonathan Joss. Imagine how many Indigenous or LGBTQ+ people have been murdered and forgotten because they're not celebrities or have no public backlash to police ignoring hate

The dark urge to reactivate my Twitter has never been stronger

today

The two worst people you know are fighting

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

if you represent or work for a hospital who gets investigated by the FBI, i want to talk to you. my signal is in my bio.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

If you told me Tom Cruise would only be giving us the second best plane stunt of the year, second to a guy who graduated from one of Canada’s top business schools with really good grades

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey? guard: [looking away] fine wife: did something happen? guard: [tearing up] no wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

This is some “I shoot puppies” energy.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

[Karoline Leavitt saying the Librarian of Congress was fired for having books in the library] Wow that's the worst thing I've ever seen *refreshes feed* [The mayor of Newark is being held at an unspecified facility] Wow that's the worst thing I've ever seen

Dear god let this man cook.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Proud to be part of this. In Alaska, Filipinos are the third largest population group after White and Indigenous communities. Panaglagip is bringing Filipino ancestral hand-tap tattoo practitioners to Alaska to celebrate our precolonial history and proliferate our ancestral markers. Follow for more.

Kurt Vonnegut man

Incredible news on TDOV. The 9th Circuit has denied the government’s request to enforce its transgender military ban. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So if masked men exit an unmarked car, refuse to show me any badge or ID, and restrain me in handcuffs I'm supposed to just go along with it? Is that the country you want to live in?

The reason the government wants to deport people without due process is that due process would reveal that many of them are here legally.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
