And I want every last one of them removed from office and prosecuted when the times comes—and it WILL come. Monsters, all of them.

And as much as I hate to be pedantic, words matter here. He was NOT choked—he was strangled to death. Choking happens when a foreign object (like food) blocks the passage, strangulation is a form of asphyxiation caused by closure of the passage due to external pressure on the neck.

Across the board, strangulation is almost always a predictor of eventual homicide. It’s recognized as a “practice homicide” and is considered a crime of control. Whoever did this has strangled someone before and WILL do it again.

We deadass already know the answer to these questions from pre-vaccine days. Cruel and stupid and immoral.

There is no version of medical ethics under which this is anything other than lunacy

They were doing this before AI but the unregulated AI is just going to make the unregulated disinformation on the unregulated social media platforms/internet even worse. That’s for sure. If you think Fox News and Facebook Boomers are delusional now, just wait.

one of the strangest and most frustrating things about being alive today is that we have science and research on basically every issue, but it always gets pushed aside in favor of some guy who thought about it for one minute and thinks he knows the answer

My ass is old enough to remember when a President sending masked armies into American cities while saying "sometimes you need a dictator" would've been the end of it and whatnot.

This is legitimately insane and should be instantly career-ending for everyone involved.

Their repeated under oath justification of Jan 6th is all you need to prepare for this to not end democratically.

“I’m not panicking until Waffle House closes!” Baby, once Waffle House closes it is TOO LATE lmfao. This is the South, istg if y’all don’t just get your little supplies and get your asses in the damn house this weekend 🙄

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch. The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over. This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.

The thing folks forget is that laws are just fancy social contracts. They’re not magically binding, they must be enforced. Often they’re designed to protect those in power, which is *also* why we are here now—especially as those who have the power continue to refuse to use it to enforce them.

I'm not saying to dunk on this person AT ALL but because I want this point elevated. I don't want you to be ashamed to be a white American. The history of white Americans who sided against whiteness and acted in solidarity with others has been suppressed as ruthlessly as the history of violence.

Say Her Name is specifically for Black women AND as a Black woman, I honor Renee Nicole Good's sacrifice. There is no greater love than to love your neighbor as yourself - in my faith, that is quite literally proof of "loving God." And it was Love that got Renee, her wife, and their doggo to stop.

Even in the depths of colonialism, genocide, enslavement, ethnic cleansing & holocaust, there have been white folks all over who have refused and resisted white supremacy. We get to choose which ancestors we honor. One of my ancestors was an enslaver who sold my foremother. *I don't claim his ass.*

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

Y’all physical QWERTY keyboards are SO coming back, I am so excited I could scream it from the top of my lungs. Time to start preparing to ditch my iPhone because I WILL have a device with a physical keyboard by years end, idc if I have to go to android to get it.

I sobbed over that photo of Liam Ramos last night, it broke something inside me. I will never, ever forgive anyone who was involved or supported this. For as long as I live, I’ll make sure others remember what’s happening here now.

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

Nancy Lacore, who served in the Navy for 35 years as a Navy helicopter pilot, three-star admiral and the chief of the Navy Reserve, announced a run for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District Navy admiral removed by Hegseth announces run for Congress abcnews.go.com/Politics/nav...

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

People are kidnapping preschoolers and macing fully restrained protesters because they like the power to make others suffer, and I need us all to burn into our memories what they’re doing now because they’re definitely going to be asking for grace and forgiveness in the not too distant future.

The breaking things part is easy, it's the replacing it with something better that is hard

"Move fast and break things," say the people who, in an uncanny coincidence, are responsible for breaking the entire planet at a terrifying speed.

"Terrible things are happening outside ... poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." — Anne Frank (Jan 13, 1943)

only thing blue line i recognize 🫡

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Things I don’t like: being home alone when the dogs keep barking at something I can’t see. Like losing their shit type barking, too 👁️👁️ I’m too superstitious for all that.

My Alexa upgraded to “plus” even though I’d been intentionally putting it off (yes, I’m working towards getting rid of it entirely) and I hatteeee the new voice. My nephews actually don’t like it either, which I think is interesting.

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

You know, Europeans can feel whatever they want to feel about this situation, that’s fine, but actually, I have never blamed a country for its dictator, especially in places where wealth equality is staggering and where larger powers exert enormous influence on elections.

MAGA cultists are crazy but we got plenty of people on our side who really think the team we got can get it done and look they can't

My god that woman fleeing with her child in her arms what the fuck are we doing

'Retraining' I I say as a fucking idiot who hates my fellow Americans. How many people in MSP saying retrain? This is gonna be YOUR neighborhood soon as Chuck and Hakeem pass that shit on through

'Gaslight' comes from a play and movie of the same name in which a man attempts to trick his wife into believing that she is going insane. We promise we're telling the truth.

Every time a brit says stuff like this it’s just

i do this all the time and it works on libro.fm too. i have a bunch of books i will read one day and if i know i will never read it i gift it to someone. all for $3! great deal.

Can’t believe there are folks being pedantic over whether the correct word is hanged or hung under a post talking about hanging people re: the Nuremberg trials. Y’all, c’mon.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”

Pulling into the middle of the intersection when you know traffic is stopped and then getting stuck there when light changes makes you the fucking asshole, for the record. Where you’re going isn’t any more important than anyone else - WAIT YOUR TURN, JERK!

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

Working on how to be real with younger gens while also being constructive and not killing their spirit in the process. I want to inform and equip them without burdening them, if that’s even possible.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
