I promise you all this is for the best. I’m not joking when I say NOBODY should come here. The regime ONLY cares about money and they will lock up any opposition because corporations own the detention centers. They’re working on getting industrial incinerators at the centers. Let that sink in.

As Saskatoon closes its Harm Reduction and more and more are dying. No one cares because the ones dying are houseless Indigenous people.

Congress quietly reauthorized a surveillance program that spies on Americans no roll call, no accountability, just a voice vote at midnight. The Senate rubber-stamped the extension until April 30, buying themselves less than two weeks before they have to do this all over again.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A Tiny Human (1.5?) races through the door of a bookshop. Running at full pelt. Eyes on the prize. Huffing and chuffing into the children's book section. Spinning around and giving Mum a big goofy smile. This is EXACTLY where she wants to be. (1)
