The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

good morning friends 💚✨

Give me a super cut of every time a Republican has told us to “let the states decide” for the last 50 years, as the Marines are sent into a city they were not needed or asked for.

I think one big failing of Occult Crescent is ironically the fact that there is always something you need to be doing while in it. If I blink even slightly I'm missing a fate. If I try to kill mobs to spawn something, I'm missing out on other stuff. If I gold farm, I don't stop to keep the speed.

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

This is sort of what happened with DOGE. They were convinced there was a mountain of easily-detectable waste and fraud that a handful of folks equipped with "common sense" could root out & eliminate in a manner of weeks. And there wasn't. But they had promised headlines about big cuts...

watching people level berserker on non-tank classes is always so wild ur so brave

something i’m noticing is there’s lots of people not at these protests and have zero interest in ever going to one of them telling the people at these protests how to properly protest

third amendment continues to pull its weight as the secret funniest load bearing cog in america's stupid machine

When Senator Bill Cassidy announced he would vote to confirm RFK Jr, he included this in his statement: “If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes.” WITHOUT CHANGES.

This is a big escalation up from the Guard. That Guard has been federalized to handle crowd control and riots before but I cannot think of a single time in modern American history that active duty troops in the full time Armed Forces have been mobilized and deployed against US citizens.

Everyone I know who relished in being a hater has just drowned in hatred and now they post every other hour “ngl air is kind of mid. Like no offense but you guys are kinda sheep the way you keep sucking on that shit” and can’t find joy anymore

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

People be like "President Trump launching nuclear missiles to give us the sweet release of death via vaporization is a distraction from his other scandals and terrible policies. Don't fall for it."

“Bluesky is an echo chamber” X is currently overrun with users sexually harassing random women using the site owner’s built-in AI to edit their photos to look like there’s semen on their faces

this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration

It is genuinely unsafe for average people to use Twitter and speak freely. It appears to be this administration's primary intelligence gathering operation.

One last job... the perfect heist.

i get confused when i see the opinion that people on bluesky don't get jokes. were people on twitter good at getting jokes. i don't remember that

the reframing of bluesky as some sort of bubble for one viewpoint conveniently ignores the fact many of us left X because our work was obviously being censored for its viewpoints. i wrote about tesla and climate and trans people and was significantly throttled. that’s why i left!

Every gamer is now exactly 36 years old and everyone else just plays 5 free to play games that are inscrutable to everyone over the age of 55.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

i'm not gonna lie, the price you pay for ironic detachment is a slow but guaranteed emotional death

I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

this fuckin outfit lol

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

I'm watching Hasan live stream the protests in LA and there's like flashbangs going off over their heads and people are like "hey lemme get a selfie" lol

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

I think it's cool that they made ninja's mug ability also steal gold like the thief ability in OC lol

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Phantom Oracle is SO funny to play. Trying to prep for using Starfall and then eating shit on a CE and dying immediately the moment the damage comes through never stops being funny.
