ICE is making all of us less safe. Cut off the funding. Enforce the body cameras. Vote out every person who supported this lawless agency. Abolish it. Prosecute killers.

They're in every single neighborhood I go to, just sauntering around in packs of 5-7. Intimidating our people, wasting our taxpayer dollars. GET OUT

Contrary to claims that Dem Govs only have troops on the Mall, this video shows troops Gov Whitmer deployed to DC, armed, in neighborhoods. This video was taken on June 24 at 7:25 pm in Georgetown. Yesterday Gov Whitmer sent MORE troops- 161 now. Demand troops go home now. freedcproject.org/guard

@jortsthecat.bsky.social Some more great merch, and an equally great opportunity to get Menswear Advice in exchange for a $20 donation to a couple of Bay Area rescue orgs.

That's how I learned of her work — feeding, providing medical care, and doing something called "trap and release," where feral cats get neutered or spayed to help keep the population down. Recently, she rescued these kittens, but can't find them a home.

Once again, inevitable question: if this is what they’re doing to Senator Kim in front of cameras, what are they doing to the detained people inside that facility bsky.app/profile/davi...

Apparently Kash Patel has at least one fan. Wasn't expecting that!

Now this is a goddamn manifesto. He has a clear voice, has thought out and laid out his rationale, it’s of a decent length, it’s coherent. We’re so back (ON A PURELY LITERARY LEVEL, DON’T TRY TO KILL THE PRESIDENT)

There's also a difference in messaging between when you can and cannot afford something. When you say yes, it doesn't usually include "this is expensive but we can swing it for you." Cost only comes up when the answer is no, leading to confusion about what else might suddenly become unaffordable

IYKYK 🌮@nisslbody.blacksky.app

I think about this often when we set spending limits for the kids or tell them we can't afford something, and they're like ARE WE IN TROUBLE We have a solid middle class income, we're doing great. But the messaging out there is that success is synonymous with unlimited spending.

We’re told there’s no money for universal healthcare or to end hunger in this country. But somehow $200 billion more for war will likely move through Congress without question.  Not another penny for another endless war.

Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III

MURRAY: You called birth control pills 'a disrespect of life.' You also claimed it has 'horrifying health risks.' But there decades of evidence showing it's safe and effective. Should women trust the FDA or you? CASEY MEANS: Are you aware of what the side effects of what hormonal contraception are?

Desperately jealous of two different countries this morning…

Another US lethal strike on a boat, this one in the eastern Pacific. Total attacks now up to 38, killing at least 128. As with previous boat bombings, in violation of US law and international treaties, without any causus beli, when the US wasn’t attacked, and hasn’t even advanced stated goals.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

More than any other show of its time, Star Trek dared - still dares - to imagine something that feels impossible: in the future, leftists and scientists will be able to afford rent in San Francisco

"generative ai" more like "generate new ways to get people killed"

You can't make this shit up. ICE recruitment used AI tools to sort applicants based on experience with law enforcement but fucked it up by including everyone who used the word "officer" in their application as "law enforcement officers"... who didn't require training. What could go wrong?

VentureForth (she/her) reposted

"more training will solve this" is easily debunked by the fact that the killer was a trainer at ICE. It's a barrel of bad apples that exists to produce bad apples and the solution is you woodchip the barrel and compost the apples and try something else. www.wired.com/story/ice-ag...

wired.comICE Agent Who Reportedly Shot Renee Good Was a Firearms Trainer, per TestimonyJonathan Ross told a federal court in December about his professional background, including “hundreds” of encounters with drivers during enforcement actions, according to testimony obtained by WIRED.

feels like a pretty obvious layup for Democrats to say, "this is an egregiously disgusting statement, even for him, and it underlines that the President is undergoing significant physical and mental deterioration, and either he is lying about it or is not aware of it."

I've had this machine for 3 years now and I still don't know from day to day how my milk is gonna turn out.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet
