A shop was like "Our pride flag disappeared & we were afraid it was a hateful person", then they played the security footage & it was a large man emphatically singing Sia's "Chandelier" while swinging on the flag, accidentally breaking it, continuing to sing show-must-go-on style, & stumbling away 💀

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Would probably be a good idea if California @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov did a quick video statement describing the legality/illegality of what is happening and the legal basis for the position the Gov. intends to take. Better than letting confusion build and folks hashing it out on social media.

There's a lot of people who claim they're leftist and yet still don't know anything about disability issues, nor do they care to learn anything about disability issues and help liberate us. The Nazis went after the disabled first through Aktion T4.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

The fact that the person who was head of intelligence for the MPD was working giving information to the head of the Proud Boys as they were running around trying to menace people around the city has only merited the most cursory of attention is frankly amazing to me.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.
