10/10 ICE protest sign

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

remember when you could go for months or even years without crying while reading the news?

genuinely stunning image

A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling"). They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

“We are here to say no — no to the kidnapping of our neighbors, no to the normalization of fascist violence. We are here because our love and decency are stronger than our fears, and because we know we will find courage in each other.” organizingmythoughts.org/the-cost-of-...

imagine being mayor of new york AND the only reliable public source of joy for millions of us starved for it

it’s brain breaking how serious this meeting is and yet how funny this photo is.

that time of the year when we ask ourselves how many ghosts would have to visit for us to stop being such jerks

“I think it’s worth remembering that in all of this evil, in all of this sadness, there are still wonderful, brave Australians prepared to risk their lives to help a complete stranger.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

An Astonishing Graph. For most of human history, around 50% of children used to die before they reached the end of puberty. In 2020, that number is 4.3%. (It’s 0.3% in countries like Japan & Norway.) [kottke.org]

this is a company clearly in denial over their current place in their customers’ hearts.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I want a girl with an abundance agenda I want a girl with higher marginal rates I want a girl with human capital development Who captures the dynamism of the VC network state …… I want a girl with a strong floor and nooooooo ceiling *vibraslap*

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

“things happened”

I will be stepping back from my public commitments but I will continue being around teenagers all the time

If you get to a trillion dollars you should have to start the game over from the beginning at a higher difficulty like your parents not owning a bunch of emerald mines or whatever idk that’s just a random example

sometimes when i need a little cry i’ll just fire up the hot priest telling her “it’ll pass” again.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

brilliant gambit! who is going to notice the actual cost of the holiday later this very month?

no wonder we’re so exhausted all the time

getting some dental work done and i want to listen to something familiar that won’t be ruined by the association so why not something already kinda tarnished music.apple.com/us/album/lou...

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

if you don’t believe in actual virtue then the more transparent and fawning the bribe is, the better

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

“…taking a different approach.”????? You guys. Come the F on Do better
