BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.

Dentist appt. yesterday wasn't great. The male dentist and his hygienist were so unskilled, I was essentially waterboarded for the first time. Then I realized I have never had a female dentist in any U.S. practice I've gone to. All my dentists in Scotland were female. What's up with that???

And it moves the Overton window either way. Once the outrage turns to us sending US citizens to Salvadoran gulags, no one has the energy to fight the undocumented immigrants or visa holders being sent there anymore, with or without criminal records or due process

The right is firing all the climate change scientists and eliminating pollution regulations for air and water, so we’re busy showing up at those meetings instead of these

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

lol. Zuck moves Meta’s headquarters to Texas, removes content restrictions on immigration & gender, let users harass women and trans people, donates $1 million to Trump’s inauguration and stand next to him on platform, and all he gets is losing billions + his antitrust case going before Boasberg 😂

One of the nice things about being on the left is that most of the shit you believe, reducing poverty, climate change, not randomly bombing places, also allows “humanity to persist on this Earth” in ways not involving asking women if they’re ovulating

Dear Spam Emailers, Stop using emojis and underscores in the subject line with what you ~think~ are attention-worthy words e.g. ‼️🚨 Claim Your Money! 🌟 Attention: Your Delivery is XYZ! Best, Anyone With 2 Brain Cells to Rub Together p.s. You don't deserve help with scamming, but good grief.

Wrote to the pollen.com team about the pollen forecast being down forever. It affected their official website page and app (AllergyPlus). They've always had random downtime, but this was too much. Several days later, it's back up again and steadier than usual. Just bad servers, methinks. For now.

Judge Xinis orders the Trump admin to file daily reports at 5:00 pm laying out: 1. What Mr. Abrego's current location and custody status is. 2. What the government has already done to facilitate his return. 3. What they plan to do to facilitate his return. A follow-up hearing is set for Tuesday.

Gov’t says facilitate ≠ effectuate. Yes, the Supreme Court used that word on purpose. They also deliberated for several days so the lower courts could let the gov’t hem and haw in disagreement. The Supreme Court is corrupted.

There’s not a lot to analyze or understand. Educated people don’t vote for Trump. Uneducated people are easier to control.

So some people are plainclothes ICE agents interrogating small children, other people are random sociopaths impersonating ICE agents but everyone is supposed to know the difference, surely this won’t get even worse
