Note to self:

and speaking as a former immigrant and the husband of an immigrant, I have always hated this as a talking point. The relevant point isn't "we are all immigrants". It's "there's nothing wrong with being an immigrant". You can't gotcha racists, you need to point out they're wrong.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

[calendar naming committee] BOSS: how should we spell the second month GUY WHO SPELLED WEDNESDAY: i have an idea

Excellent news but it's hard to imagine this will not result in life-long trauma for this a FIVE YEAR OLD boy who did not, and could not have, deserve any of this

Ironically, reading about the city has made me want to visit there. Perhaps...not right now....hopefully one day!

Sometimes I get to wondering how certain cities wind up going from small settlement to major metropolis, like, what made Minneapolis a place so many people wound up going to? Now I know! It was the furthest north you used to be able to go on the Mississippi River til you hit a waterfall.

Let this be a lesson to the people who always think that XYZ political thing will never happen. *anything* is possible, and that is a value-neutral statement.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

I do not have the fortitude today to dive into the epstein files but is there a handy screenshot or two of Elon being rebuffed from going? Cause that might make my day.

I dont think theres anyone who supported Trump, but now wont due to the contents of the files released today. I do hope that there are cowardly republicans that have been waiting for enough cover to finally oppose him publicly. Im not expecting it or banking on it, but its possible.

This guy drops the ol' "left, right, doesnt matter, tjeres a middle ground lets start talking to eachother again" line which normally makes me roll my eyes but you know what, shit has hit the fan and hes at the protest so good for him. Kick out the fascists and then we can quibble

We can honor Catherine O'Hara through buying, renting, and streaming her filmography over the next few days, so that the revenue is more than the box office receipts for "Melania" on opening weeken--oh, excuse me... [puts finger to ear] ...okay, yes, I'm being told that's already happened.

Respectfully,

NOPE not reading that today

Terrible news for a terrible month.

Like clockwork, the fascists are re-litigating what counts as "white people".

In other news, Toronto Police have seized Lake Ontario, which contains over 1600 square kilometers of dihydrogen oxide, enough to kill 100% of Toronto's population

Makes me think of how everyone with a platform - including the likes of Ben Shapiro and Ted Cruz - rallied around Jimmy Kimmel being censored. Maybe that will happen here? Wait, shit, I forgot. These are mere journalists. Not important enough care. Not like, say, a comedian.

I think we should consider the days of it being considered somehow noble or honorable to not be political Very Over.

#JustListened The new single by @primebirds.bsky.social and Above The Snow Line brings a bit of welcome heat in these cold days. It's a nice piece of high-energy Hardcore and the proceeds got to the Minnesota Immigrant Law Center, so it's well worth picking up! Highly, highly recommended!

Schumer and Jeffries negotiating to limit the number of journalist arrested by the Department of Justice each year to a maximum of 20.

Lol ceasing production of the only things he makes that dont fall apart, explode, or generate child p**n

I didnt know who Dan McQuade was but when its my time to go if the tributes for me are one tenth of what Dan got I'll have had a life well lived.

Every once in a blue moon I see a good boomer meme

A supercut of happy Eagles fans? Yes please.

Seeing a lot of "yeah, Obama and Biden managed to deport all kinds of people without all the violence!" and while there's a time and place to make that point, that's not THIS post. This post is saying those deportations were mostly unnecessary, too.

He says "professional, legal, ethical, moral" the same way the white supremacists at the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville said "I disavow" after praising the likes of David Duke, Richard Spencer and Adolf Hitler

Because many people on here are talking about making demands, it might be worth thinking about the goal. Body cameras, unmasking, and making it easier to sue will not reduce the number of people arrested and condemned to jail to die, suffer and/or be deported.

Im getting there. Very slowly, but im getting there #balatro

The whole deport criminals malarchy doesn’t add up. We should arrest and charge criminals regardless of their immigration status. If convicted they should be imprisoned. Then after time served they can be deported. In none of those steps is ICE needed.

Cant blame her for feeling threatened. Why, GM would hate to lose the absolute chokehold they have on the North American EV market.

It's sad that this is the country we live in now.😢 A man with serious disabilities has sadly passed away after his father, who had been his primary caregiver, was taken by ICE. "They may not kill Wael with a bullet, but they killed him by taking...his caregiver." www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

"ICE has definitely gone too far but we still n-" no we don't. Whatever the purist version of what you think their job is supposed to be is, we don't need them for that. We can just get rid of all of it and put that money towards some, anything else.

It'll never stop amusing me when Facebook recommends complete strangers to add as friends. 0 mutual friends. Who's doing that.

This type of "we're in the minority, we cant do much, but we can at least secure a few things and be better than literally nothing" wouldve been nice to see in like, 2017

This is worse than Watergate imho

I've released a protest song called Only Assholes Sign Up For Ice. It's a free download on bandcamp, or if you choose to purchase it (pay what you can), 100% of proceeds will go to Minnesota Immigrant Law Center. primebirds.bandcamp.com/track/only-a...

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

imagine publicly hopping on the bandwagon NOW. At this time. In this part of the world.

I cannot *believe* I'm about to deflect criticism away from conservatives when it is correctly placed, but, it seems weird to not start the criticisms with the Liberal government that put a cap on international students

Always knew Wes Borland was a good egg

Why is this an admission? It's been one of AI's stated purposes since forever.

I gotta say I thought it would take ol' Tony Two-Cuts *slightly* longer to completely undermine the reputation of CBS news. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

Wow I'm just like Bruce Springsteen. Like, in every way. Who knew.

Reminds me of Kenny Lam, the Toronto cop that subdued a terrorist murderer without firing a shot, even though he killer not just announced he had a gun, but reached into his pocket and pulled out a thing that couldve easily been mistaken for a gun and pointed it at him www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

she was ready to fuck him up, I love it

You know your franchise is not in a good place when even the guy ousted for shouting racial slurs doesnt want to work with you

It's such a chilling thing to say, delivered so pathetically that I can't help but find it funny
