Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

The government treating Teslas on fire as a big dramatic deal and what's weird about this is. They only care about Tesla fires when there are NOT people in the car. If a Tesla catches on fire while people are driving it that is apparently normal and the government sees nothing there to investigate

And here we go -- Fox News is now saying we should get rid of "due process" because it's too cumbersome. Brian Kilmeade: "But I also think it's not practical to think that we can do due process on 8 million people." www.mediamatters.org/brian-kilmea...

No one who's trying to destroy the Department of Education has ever spent three minutes in a public school, and neither have their children or their grandchildren. None of the people destroying any of our valued public services have ever relied on them.

I unironically use my local library a lot. Ebooks, audio books, physical books, the seed exchange, the meeting spaces?? Passport services?? Citizenship and English classes? I grew up in the teen hangout area as a housing insecure youth with a bad parent. Libraries are important, I'm pissed

Several weeks ago, with the help of Cat 1 and Cat 2, I made the ultimate calming GIF to use this Sunday morning. Please share with anyone in mental distress. It is not to be used by Blades, for they must suffer for their crimes!! #SWFC #WAWAW

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but PLEASE sign up for a library card. If you do already have one, encourage others around you to get one. I am 100% positive that there is something there that you will enjoy reading. Reading doesn’t have to only be for those who can afford to pay $20+ a book ❤️📚

Idea: we should invest in making an adorable robot duo to clean up dog poop from our yards. Have a drone scan for poop and then have the drone tell the rover where to scoop.

Does anyone have book recommendations for sci-fi or fantasy with an adult protagonist (21+)? I’m tired of the YA recommendations.
