This concentration camp was opened at Fort Bliss, the site of a former Japanese internment camp. It also cost over $1B in private contracts to build in a place meant to hold 1000 people. So, basically it’s a fascist grift. shorturl.at/qhuSc

normal game night with normal friends

Unreal!

It’s the same dream every time. I’m interviewing for the big job at Game Freak. I have it in the bag. As the interviewer stands, one last question: “By the way - who’s your favorite?” I try to think of the name of that absolutely jacked bug. I open my mouth. “Pikachu?” He reaches for his holster

Scoop: FOREVER WARS obtained a habeas corpus petition filed by a journalist in ICE detention. The evidence against him? His Instagram likes. @attackerman.bsky.social reports:

society has advanced beyond the need for the new york giants

It’s honestly pretty simple. You would open the app, there’s the total number. It would be held in a rotating rose gold prism of light. You would hold your phone up to your lips and kiss it gently - so gently - and the cube would dissolve into a thousand butterflies. For a moment the first number

UNICEF says Israel blocking one million syringes needed to vaccinate Gaza children

this be the verse? more like, this be the worst! follow for more zingers. You just got fuckin zinged dude

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

watching a guy with a Paradigm laptop and a Precision AI sticker just completely rawdog a Zoom call in the Apple store. laptop out, talking through the call, headphones in and NOT connected to the computer. this is his office now. bloodcurdling psychopathy

it's honestly so funny that they invented Evil PEPFAR

thought of some sort of meme involving "legal realism" and "the rule of law" at 3am and didn't write it down, and now i can't remember what my idea was. yet another example of the destructive effect of legal realism on the rule of law

The Pacific won a landmark climate case at the world’s top court. Now they want countries to act. “Our goal is to remind negotiators that behind every policy decision are real people and real lives at risk.” grist.org/global-indig... #Pacific #Indigenous #Policy #Court

So thrilled to share the launch of this new project, Vital Signs, with climate desk readers. @who.int says climate change threatens to erode 50 years of public health gains. What does that look like? We’ll be reporting from five continents. First story in the series: grist.org/health/valle...

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

The future of pandemic preparedness and response is currently being decided in my inbox by people who don't know what a spam email is or that they shouldn't reply all to it. Everything, everything, everything is generational warfare. We have to pry a livable planet out of their wrinkled fingers

- Good evening. - At 8:42 pm Eastern, I awoke to find a nap had been taken with the window open. - As you are no doubt aware, the bedroom has now fallen below 60 degrees. - At this time, I confirm I have decided to federalize the cat. He has been brought under the big green blanket against his w

hahahahahahahahahaha

Every reply to this is just “yummy food hits different when you’re hungry fr”… Mr Mamdani sir thank you for saving political discourse in America

Some random person sent the text of our entire Think Global Health piece, along with like 20 random tweets about GISAID, to... well, essentially everyone who worked Covid-19 response. 99 people. For some reason, serious people keep replying to the thread with earnest thoughts. Today I finally broke

As always, now would be a good time — if you are the type who cares enough about things that you're paying attention tonight — to make sure you're signed up for Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end

i may be dumb, and i may be craven, but im also in charge of everything

primary every last dem senator

does anyone know if the heart is hollow without a hurt

anyone who is not willing to take the risk of gambling with starvation in order to save our system of government has no place in the Senate, and those who decided that they couldn't play a game with those stakes have not necessarily done anything wrong. they just have to leave.

“Do not help your opposition”: ah, though — what if we’re not opponents, but instead colleagues who all want what’s best for the American people? If that made sense to you, congrats; you’ve taken a first step toward becoming a Senate Democrat.

game night facetime buddy

AOC should announce tonight

dick cheney has come back to life

well.

there's a 0.001% chance fetterman does the funniest thing in the world just because he hates doing his job

a necktie turned inside out is the international symbol for gastric distress

if you think it is important enough to eat a career-killing bullet for this shitty deal, i will respect your wishes, but your career has to eat that bullet

two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

Durbin, Kaine, and King call called as YESes.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

Sanders: if you vote yes, 15M Americans lose healthcare and 50K will die. Do you think it’s funny? Senate will not approve ACA and President would never sign it.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.
