“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.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Watch today is a Soviet-made handwound “medical watch” from 1989 by Slava. The scales help you determine the patient’s heart rate. You must wait until the seconds hand reaches 0 or 30, then count 15 patient pulses. Where the seconds hand is on the scale at that moment is the heart rate.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

President Truman wanted national healthcare! This county's racism shot that down. That meant hospitals would have had to integrate. Southern conservative Dixiecrats said no. Jesus, these people. When Harry Truman Pushed for Universal Health Care | HISTORY share.google/DJwqpc6O3ifo...

There it is

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

I gotta be real it is extremely doing a number on my mental well-being that mr. cato institue here is taking a stronger stand than the majority of the democratic party. the anti-DHS coalition is uhhhh a bunch of socialists, the cato institute and the neocons as led by bill kristol???

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

Abolish ICE.

Neo-Temperance Movement incoming.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

Coral reefs are declining globally, prompting scalable restoration efforts. My colleague at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa developed 3D-printed modules with helix recesses that boosted coral larval settlement by ~80x and survival by up to 50x. These designs offer a promising restoration solution. 🌊🧪

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

Either real-time bidding data or app SDK data is being bought and used by ICE to seize people from the streets. If you didn’t believe that the adtech stack is a human rights concern, I’m not sure what more evidence you need. www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

A belter of a post by @mmasnick.bsky.social: "The pattern is clear: mainstream media has become so terrified of appearing biased that they’ve abandoned their basic responsibility to clearly communicate truth to the public." Also one of the reasons why independent journalists are vital right now.

If George Washington himself had done this as President, he would have been impeached, removed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. This was one of the greatest fears of the Framers.

"But federal workers will willingly forego paychecks in the hopes of preserving the programs we have devoted our lives to administering. In order to save our services today, we need to send a message to this Administration that enough is enough.”

starting to think that an increasingly senile trump is being shown a different reality by his aides by making ai videos of shit and telling him it’s real news

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

just worth reiterating that historically "we need to throw these people under the bus for pragmatic reasons" is often indistinguishable from, "I, personally, do not like these people and want to throw them under the bus." www.everythingishorrible.net/p/martin-nie...

Great time to be a fentanyl dealer because all the guys who are supposed to investigate and prosecute you are going after doordash drivers and moms instead

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Today, my research group @ Georgia Tech released a paper on vulnerabilities in Tile --- the second largest device finding network after Apple's AirTags. You can read about it in Wired, reporting by @kimzetter.bsky.social! www.wired.com/story/tile-t...

More people work at Arby’s than at the entire American coal industry

Is Johnson just gonna ride it out at home until he shuts down the government and then blame that?

Montaigne wrote: “I want death to find me planting my cabbages, but careless of death, and still more of my unfinished garden."

I'm not advocating for "terrorism" or "assault" or whatever, I'm just saying it might be funny if a drunk Portlander throws a Voodoo Doughnut at some fascists.

"This guy had a work permit, a citizen wife and two citizen children. ICE abducted him from his work, refused to let him talk to his family or lawyer, and deported him to Guatemala." This is the sort of story that the New York Times could easily dedicate space to. But they refuse.

With Pete Davidson getting a big check to do the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the Saudis are finally paying reparations for 9/11. And jokes like that aren’t allowed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

*banjo picking and sporadic musket fire* dearest martha, the horrors of war-torn portland cannot even be described

This rules - @raskin.house.gov straight up called out Roberts to his face. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Pass a law making it illegal for LE to wear a mask. Then arrest any LE who wear a mask. Then let them go after a few days in jail if they're a fed. Then arrest them again the next time they wear a mask. Wash, rinse, repeat until behavior changes.

Weird how the trial for the pro-Trump, white nationalist mass shooter who is accused of murdering two students at Florida State University (FSU) is about to start and hardly any news is talking about it. www.msn.com/en-us/crime/...

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Well don't I feel stupid

i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues. For example: Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $ Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $ Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy

this is a signed executive order that directly violates a law passed by congress & signed into law!

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp
