Useful to what?

One of the happiest updates I’ve written since I started following this story. 12 students back in status and maybe more to come. Across the country, students are saying their SEVIS is back. www.dailycal.org/news/campus/...

Every time I try to specify this with an example I get inconsolably angry, and also think of at least one other chaotically similar example.

babes are you one of them?

The only person who can effectively run in 2024 is someone who can get free media coverage, and that is AOC. It is what it is.

TAGLE HAS TO WIN

Fascinated by Democrats who simultaneously: (1) at least *say* that the Trump regime is a threat to democracy and the Constitution; and (2) Get very mad if you say that such-and-such congressional Democrat isn't doing enough to fight the Trump regime

I mean... I think if you voted for him the third time you should [comical cane yanks me off-stage]

I wouldn't say the fact that the ai overview shows up and I scroll past it makes me a "user"

Here's the thing: if you legitimately believe voters are so stupid that you couldn't explain the word "oligarchy" to them, I don't really get why you would defend a political system run by the voters.

Pledging to defend the Constitution right before the country you were about to become a citizen of unconstitutionally detains you

People constantly talk at me with some refrain of "[marginalized group 1] isn't commonly part of [marginalized group 2]" and usually my energy is spent up on being "I don't think that's necessarily true" but beyond that, I have this image just violently flashing in my brain the whole time.

banned from the oppression olympics due to innate biological advantages

It's really telling to literally walk the audience through "[institution] says these things are the same, so they must be 90% interchangeable" and not ever interrogate if perhaps that's silly and wrongheaded!

Incroyable

"at this point" [glances at nearby calendar]

"Do you have any proof of that beyond your word?" They're denying you standing, they'll deny anyone legitimacy, starting with exactly who you think, until constitutional jurisprudence is shrunk so small they can drown it in a state of exception(s).

Why the fuck did soundcloud just jumpscare me with Kristi Noem shrieking fascist nonsense as an """ad"""??

You: German words and sentences go on forever, it's ridiculous The translator she tells you not to worry about:

The Pope met with JD Vance and then he killed himself.

We will never know how many late night death penalty stays the man who is so upset today about a hasty but necessary decision to *save* lives has signed off on without reading them

Working on my Greek handwriting, drag me and my Cyrillic muscle-memory

Reinventing quesadillagate from first principles

it's easy to observe this in the increasingly homogenous "rural" culture and identity becoming unmoored from region or geography. regions that were once totally distinct, applachia, the lowland south, the great plains, the interior west, now all have a shared faux-redneck culture

What echoes in my mind after watching this is the world "unarrestable"

Whenever I'm on the phone I say M as in Marijuana, S as in Smile, 1 as in the trinity obscures the oneness of God, and 3 as in skull

Thinking about that one scene in Pan's Labyrinth... "He won't even know your name"

"if"??????

At some point we're gonna get leaked transcripts from the DOGE group chat and they're all gonna be using ethnic slurs from the late 1600s
