I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

Today in weird statistical coincidences

me giving advice vs me taking my own advice

History lesson: Germany’s concentration/death camps were not located in Germany, they began in occupied Poland.

This happens in Banana Republics

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

"Remember, you need a lot of time to get through your entire atrocity to-do list. If you tank the economy once and quickly, people’s attention will surely return to your cruelty, no matter how effectively you’ve impoverished them. So take your time and do it right."

The Hippo has it.

Ubi on high alert for crumbs as I do dishes, per usual 😂

Someone knows who this man is and where he spends his time. He should be identified. And he should not feel comfortable showing his face in public after this.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

On the "silver linings" side of things, I am meeting many nice people on bluesky who also are against detaining people with no process and sending them to concentration camps 🫶

Abolish ICE

If you read one thing today, read this:

Today is the final day my piece is up in SFMOMA. I got into a place that J Cat Fisher had to buy his way into. John Fisher is still a bum that doesn't deserve any happiness at all. #FJF

11 starts little league today, and he drew the A's. I have FEELINGS lol

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

Regurgitating my call-out for an online reading group! I like reading about industrialization and politics. I'll read any Vonnegut book with you at the drop of the hat.

Took me about three months to get through this, but damn! My rust belt heart is overflowing. Thanks @haymarketbooks.org for telling the story I heard about but never understood until now.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

This has been said many times before, but if you ever wondered what you would do if you were there when the Nazis took over Germany:

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

5:04 pm ET and it appears that the government has not yet filed its daily status update in the Abrego Garcia case. Deadline was 5 pm.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

I'm glad they did this and better late than never. But it would have been nice is this spine evolved when a racist mob came for the university's first Black woman president.

Like sorry but we’re going to need to turn the “paratroopers blasting Nazis” dial up 1000

This is to the shame of our country

Seth Rogan… Erykah Badu… Terrance Howard… Katt Williams…

I'm pretty sure socially conscious 12-foot skeleton in Kenmore is what Home Depot had in mind when they made them. (It used to say "deport them hoes" about Elmo)
