I assume this sort of thing is true of every single ICE employee.

I cannot stop thinking of Dulce Morales. Her disappearance by ICE signals that no amount of “documentation” or American born status changes how Latiné people (and lets be real, whatever other population they choose) have lost due process rights and are being ethnically cleansed from the country.

where i create from

Honestly? Living in Alabama. When you live between Selma and Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, it is fairly impossible to fall into the "this is the worst it has ever been and it can't get better" pit. It was way worse for people here, in living memory, and they didn't shrug & give up. So I can't either.

oh brother, another bad post from political influencer beltway brian. i am furious at beltway brian all of the time. i share screencaps of beltway brian's posts with people who have no idea who he is. i hate all of beltway brian's posts and i read all of them every single day, including weekends

The median INS agent did not carry a weapon on their person. The median ICE officer carries both a long and short gun. They were heavily militarized based on an absurd premise that Al Qaeda was going to "invade America" in meaningful numbers for the actual reason of disciplining labor

The first thing ICE did when it was created was raiding meat processing plants in the Midwest and south to help quell labor disputes over safety violations and keep those who weren't detained from getting legal protections as many had kids who grew up locally and were citizens with political power.

i remember i filled this out and then, two days later, someone DROVE AN SUV past us on the Davis to Willow path. We need bollards for that guy in particular

The City recently completed extensive public outreach on how to improve safety on the Community Path; the intersection with School St. is overwhelmingly viewed as the worst part. I highly recommend the whole report: somervillema.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?...

"privatized community charity" is basically how the right do organising. it's a great way to motivate volunteers and keep them doing outreach work. Remains to be seen if it'll be as effective for the left, but it can be good politcal messaging work without being an efficient way to do charity.

The chapter on The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is heartbreaking and heartbreakingly familiar. Slavecatchers then. ICE agents now. The abductions slowed and sometimes thwarted by protestors hanging up on enforcers, with help from law enforcement.

asked a real historian and she said (this is not a joke) that other than mass, professional wrestling would be the thing on TV that medieval Europeans would have liked the most

GOODBYE QUEEN

Zoey is trying to share some Vanilla Bearog Ice Cream with you! 🫵 💛 She'd love the Bearog petpet as it is in their description 'This friendly freak just wants to be loved.' 🐻🐻🐻 #kpdh #kpopdemonhunters #neopets

THIS SO MUCH like if you made it all the way to 2025 without noticing that queer media is good I can only assume you aren't interested in showing up at all.

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

Christmas Covers Vol II: Annie & Trixie, Waffles, Loki and Chesnyy

We're ruled by people in all three branches of government and across the tech/corporate landscape who think it's bad that this happened and wish the mob had prevailed, plain and simple. It's clarifying.

🔥IT STARTS WHEN YOU BEGIN🔥

YUP. We've been passing these recs around for a long time.

And now for something completely different. Irl watercolor birb

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

The Massachusetts version of this bill raised more billions of dollars than it expected and no one actually left. California should do it and be legends.

“Po-fucking-ta-toes”, of course bsky.app/profile/thec...

the heroine appears ‼️ instagram REALLY liked this one so i'm posting it here... #undertale

Happy holidays from your furiends at the zoo ✨ Thanks to Keeper Megan and Keeper Ali for the holiday pics!

we’ve been over this we just did this in Massachusetts they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

The wildest thing to me is that multiple Black people had to die in a manner akin to public spectacles for 2020 to happen and the backlash is being fueled by white guys who can’t sell a screenplay or manuscript.

remember 'genderqueer'? and how 'nonbinary' instantly became 100x more legible as a concept once 'nonbinary' became the common term instead? i bet it's like that. just waiting for the right word to come along because this one is so extremely not it

queerplatonic is one of the worst words in the english language i think

inks WIP! (still need to add pearline and grace)

"What's unique about you?" The voice came from everywhere, nowhere, but not the hundred mouths that surrounded him, mouths on featureless faces. "What's unique, Greg?" Were those voices at all, or only the rattle of coffee sleeves blocking the conference room ventilation shaft? Who... Who was Greg?

when the GOP say they want to run government like a business, they mean Sears specifically. zero capex investments, make departments compete each other to death, strip out the assets & sell them to themselves, steal billions of dollars

We just threw away my old, battered keyboard. It served me well for well over a decade but is toast. Not even really in donating condition. So @macindc.bsky.social picked it up and looked at me and said: "Any last words?" And I of course had to answer: "Press F to pay respects."

there are many horrible brainworms you can catch online but none of them are as all-encompassing in their destruction of you as a human being as transphobia start down that road and you become incapable of normal human interaction

Confident in my ability to dunk, I click the quote post button. I follow the Menswear Guy. Derek doesn't follow back. He'd be prettier if he did. He replies. The skeet passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly.

We need to start talking about the radicalisation of the older generation by the internet: perhaps we should have upper age limits on social media like Facebook, or an age-related ban on owning mobile phones.

I have been slowly teaching myself to read for pleasure again and I'm a little surprised at how well I can stay in a book after I read for a little bit. And I'll say it again—reading feels soooo much better than being in some kind of scrolling loop.

"tell me we didn't just fire a dozen $500,000 missiles at a $200 camel" "sir, no evidence of any camel present, sir!"

Remember, the Secretary of Transportation is absolutely terrified of this subway system. Just mentioning the ACE line will reduce him to tears. And yet ...

there are a bunch of accounts pushing this scam btw

Especially in our social media/Capitalist driven society, where expectations for results are even higher, with endless outside pressure to perform & succeed, I imagine this is even worse now than it's ever been. No matter if it's a job, a hobby, etc., take care of yourself & your mental health. ❤️
