Seeing the NYT switch to active voice feels like watching a seal holding back the apocalypse crack

Reminds me of how Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mom) was in the women's prison down the street during Stonewall and started a riot in solidarity

This song by leftist Phil Ochs from the 60s feels like it perfectly captures the mentality of ICE today. youtu.be/KfM4f91je-0?...

Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

season 2 of percy jackson was fucking great, MASSIVE improvement from season 1. the cast have all settled into their roles really well and nearly every single change made from the books was for the better. highlights - scobell as percy, clarisse & tyson new best characters, and episode 4 in general

This is who MAGA's secret police publicly executed today: Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was a VA intensive care nurse.

Bay Leaves~ bay leaves~ give me the magic stew~ I'm so CRAZY~ adding just two of you~

ICE isn’t an aberration, but the product of the militarized police state the US built at home and abroad. The shooting of an unarmed man isn’t new, just how brazenly this violence is carried out. Fight ICE, but to truly protect our communities, we must dismantle the system that made it possible.

The last pic of Cinnamon was alright.. but this, to me, is peak Cinnamon. <chef's kiss>

7 of you voted to give them $10 BILLION. They're monsters, they're brownshirts, so you need to stop them. Get your fucking caucus in line.

"'To send 300 or 3,000,000 men away to try and stop the growth of ideas is not going to be successful. It is a fruitful and successful method for advertising a course and enlisting friends. It reflects discredit on the much boasted American free speech!'"

Finally got some new boots after walking around in the same pair for, uhhh, like eight years? Just in time for the polar vortex... Weather aside: VERY happy with them so far.

i desperately need $3,005 for doctor bills before my appointment with my specialist in a few days, otherwise everything is gonna get held up and paused on my continued healing and treatment. i desperately need $1500 for my rent before next week, or i'm not going to be living in my apartment soon.

Emma Goldman: "As for America, deportation is the beginning of the end of the United States government. The government has signed its own death warrant."

with the invention of drone shows, we can retraumatize an entirely new generation of veterans the way fireworks did for their parents and grandparents

german here. the wording is actually quite surprising, because german media usually downplays fascists with euphemisms like "controversal conservative". them outright saying you look like a nazi means you really fucked up

I need a hero (to immediately fail and get overpowered by the villain.) I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night (or, y'know, however long the villain needs them for ;3)

"Ack, I'm already being influenced by your superpowers! I feel compelled to..m nggh... Kneel and submit..! No, I must remember my hero training, I must not succumb to this urge to be your sub..!" The supervillain, whose superpower is 'Lightning Powers': 🤨

I'm shooting for issue 1 in march featuring LT. FREYA, THE PRESCOTT LIBRARY and finally CAL & KIIRA. Along with some notes from the editor, sketches, etc and a new patreon schedule.

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

And that’s just on the surface! I’m also discovering the spread of second and third tier support no one is seeing.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Oh for sure for sure. Saved this to my desktop so I could understand it better after watching Freien. I now understand it.

BREAKING: The House Natural Resources Committee voted to send HR 4255, the Mexican gray wolf delisting bill, to the full House. The bill relies on misinformation when making the claim that Mexican gray wolves have met recovery criteria. Urge your Rep. to OPPOSE this bill: https://bit.ly/466LD4G

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

There was a boi who grew up with gay uncles & counterculture fam, who learned about transgender people as a teen but didn't know gender is a spectrum, not a binary, & didn't have the language for their identity or know he had any options at all until age 51. It shouldn't take so long.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

The memo cites no legal authority, only a further secret DHS's General Counsel (replaced in the early days with a Trump loyalist) opinion saying administrative warrants filled out by an ICE officer are sufficient to break into homes of people ordered removed. Here's what such a warrant looks like.

"guy" who voluntarily signed up for Transition School, surrounded by classmates who are also going to Transition School, inexplicably maintains insistence that she's "just trying things out" and will probably drop out

In a sign of how explosive ICE knew this secret memo would be, one whistleblower says he was only allowed to read the memo and was barred from taking written notes, and warned that employees had been punished for disagreeing. At least one ICE instructor resigned rather than teach the illegal memo!

READ ALL So the manager of the place I've been staying at since October just served me a 30 day eviction notice. This all started when I complained about a sexual harassment case with one of the other residents. And then a few days ago, I broke multiple ribs and got prescribed oxycodone by a doctor

The manager of my house forced me to sign a 20 day eviction day notice (which is illegal), and the company whose job it is to make sure I'm safe had my case worker leave and didn't reassign me one. Please donate and support me as I try to navigate this. givebutter.com/iG0zWz

The part of me that hopes for humanity wonders whether it's possible that while the republican base remain supportive percentage wise, the actual size of that base is shrinking
