The dishonest claim by rape apologists and anti-feminists that women make up stories of sexual abuse is cover for those who would rather not argue for what they really believe: that rape is trivial.

I fucking hate cold weather and snow so when I saw a high of 69 posted for a week from Tuesday I villain laughed and cavorted wildly!!! Fuck you winter bitches your time is coming to an end!

We stand with Minnesota and echo the calls ringing out around our country to abolish ICE. No one should have to fear leaving their home. Reach out to your legislators encouraging them to pass our bills that will keep Georgians safe.

Because I am old

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Gift link. Mind-boggling corruption.

NEWS: Judge Biery has ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos. A thunderous rebuke against ICE’s violent campaign in Minnesota. Read the order below. Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

also musk is an absolute pickme beta cuck soyboy. he is just desperate for attention from the richer cooler pedophile

Oh. My. God. Chomsky talking about the 'hysteria' that has developed about the abuse of women and giving Epstein advice on how to handle the media. In 2019. The Media studies discipline and much of the left should reflect on the power given to this one flawed man to shape generations of thought.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

I don’t understand why it’s such a leap that we shouldn’t be arming an agency that is tasked with enforcing misdemeanors. In a sane world, if ICE were to exist, it would only be to track down undocumented immigrants to help them fill out the required paperwork and help them schedule court dates.

This would actually seem to capture Dartmouth's AI wellness project in a nutshell: “It was very hollow & just sort of parroting what the administration or…the leadership team of Evergreen had been saying,” Roberts said.

I love silly people who love animals

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Here's a Trump signal --> 💩

If you want photography services for whatever: weddings, family, Super 8, whatever — send me your ICE mugshot and I’ll do it for free

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

He is now sick—and has a fever. 5-year-old Liam Ramos. Held wrongfully by ICE in private, for-profit Dilley Detention Center in Texas. With many others. Everyone should Bear Witness— lend your ear for 12 minutes to Joaquin Castro, who was there today, and details much: bsky.app/profile/joaq...

In a country that purports to value the rule of law, "send them to jail" really is the only appropriate outcome for everyone behind a system in which taxpayer funds are spent shuffling detainees around the country to torture them psychologically and to evade district court jurisdiction.

"Instead of rushing to aides or fleeing, as one might expect, she moved toward the man with her right fist raised, before he was tackled by security officers." She has more heart and more guts than any of the little yelling man-children attacking her.

literally laughed out loud

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Mr. Trump suggested without evidence that she had staged it. “I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud,” he said. “She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” he claimed. I wonder why an idea like that would occur to him? 🤔

I hope somebody is able to put a name to this ICE goon

ICE detained hundreds of thousands of people last year, shuttling them between jails and detention centers around the country, limiting access to legal support.

This is SUCH an important point! Feckless liberals in leadership positions gave the impression that none of us cared about anything deeply except for our careers. Ordinary people are proving this wrong.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Everyone in America, but particularly the media has been in an "abusive dad" relationship with this absolute piece of shit for a decade. "BREAKING NEWS: Daddy isn't mad anymore!!! EVERYTHINGS OKAYYYYY!!!! Sources say: We just shouldn't have taken that tone, and we'll do better next time!🤗"

The Minnesota Star Tribune has been pretty great during the siege.

Centrist pundits are urging Democrats to respond to ICE's killing spree by bringing in management consultants to recalibrate the agency's mission statement. That's morally bankrupt. It's also political malpractice, I argue here: www.findinggravity.net/how-not-to-t...

This article is paywalled, although I found a free link somewhere that I'll post if I see it again, but his quote alone tells me why he only sleeps 5 hours at night. "No one is going to care, I guess." He knows.
