Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

Neurodivergent Overthinkers Club Chat Prompt #513: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer teaches children that the affection and approval they receive *should be* directly proportional to their usefulness to the community.

Watching a brother and sister playing hide and seek in the dining area at Whole Foods, and y'all, I can remember the last thing that made me feel anything approaching the glee they have when they find each other.

It's so fascinating to me when certain leftists pull off their masks, and there's a white hood underneath. Also, you will never do what Our Forever First Lady has accomplished, so maybe keep her name out of your fucking mouth.

Shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

"Erika Kirk endorses Erika Kirk for First Lady in 2028"

Incompetent, politicized justice comes at a cost.

The problem with the current administration is that it drastically lowers expectations. BBC News covered Marco Rubio's press conference and, even though I didn't agree with a word he said, I was so relieved to listen to a public figure who could actually shape coherent sentences. The bar is LOW.

Should I find it amusing that The New York Historical will be opening the Tang Wing for American Democracy in June 2026? Just as actual American Democracy sinks beneath the waves.

Next time he speculates about whether he might get into heaven, I'm gonna need the Christian reporters in the room to stand up and say "redemption is in the hands of the Lord, but my magic 8 ball says "All Signs Point To No"

And let's be clear, cutting off gender affirming care for young people is cutting off meaningful gender affirming care for most. If care isn't given early enough, 1. It's much more difficult, and 2. There will be kids who unalive themselves because they can't receive care in time.

The fact that we need to explain to folks that a range of lived experience improves the delivery of justice tells me, again, that 🐻‍❄️ men continue to believe that they are the center of the universe & all other experiences radiate out from that point I'm begging you, go outside, see other folks.

Ok, I'm really gonna need YouTube to stop pushing compilations of adults hugging their parents unexpectedly. The ones where their parents are happy and surprised make me maudlin enough, but the ones where the parents are shocked and push the kids away are breaking my heart 💔💔

I wrote about Yglesias “defending liberalism” by joining a right wing moral panic over critical race theory. His vision of liberalism has room for bigots, but no room for scholars concerned about structural racism.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

In DC, Trump officials celebrated the decimation of USAID with a sheet cake. In South Sudan, USAID budget cuts closed a health clinic in the middle of a cholera outbreak. Tor Top had to take his sick mother to the hospital, 8 hours away. She died on the way. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Ummmm, if anti-fascists are a threat to the government, doesn’t that imply the government is fascist?

"We can't allow fact checkers into the country" is late-stage USSR shit, real end-of-empire stuff

So I'm guessing ACLU youth chapters are okeydoke too?

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values. If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin. This SCOTUS is corrupt.

As a US senator, my heart breaks for the families of the Venezuelans that Pete Hegseth ordered executed without trial. If they could see my state’s Republican primary polling data, I think they would understand why I had to vote to confirm him.

Can I pay to have a second line follow them around every afternoon?

And yet, funding for (torture chamber) private prisons can always be found.

I really hope folks read & respond to this: What kind of door prize would induce you to attend a career Q&A panel where you could hear folks talk about how they got to where they are in their human services careers? (Don't be buck wild, I work at a non profit, I'm not giving out a PS5)

Oh, I know the same people are big mad about this as lost what's left of their 🍘 🍑 minds when they heard we would be getting "Lift Every Voice" I'm just gonna sit and sip

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

This AI definition of a Caribbean epithet is SENDING me...

I'm gonna need people to stop giving me the side eye for masking. Given that my bus to work sounds like a freaking tuberculosis ward.

Why would anyone be out running in 38 degree rain, let alone topless?

Growing up on Saipan, Professor Eun Hee Han, L’07, saw cross-cultural communication up close. At Georgetown Law, she applies the same lens to her scholarship, which focuses on the intersections between language, law, culture, citizenship and identity: https://bit.ly/3XqK0KG

I'm so confused. If it used to be an important element of my job as a low level comms staffer to keep an eye on news that might impact the work of my org, how does the Speaker of the fucking House NOT have to know what the fuck is going on in our country? What is your job, bro?

Mike Johnson spends 23 hours a day inside a sensory deprivation tank, naked aside from the chastity cage which prevents him from masturbating, until it's time to emerge for his daily press conference to announce he can't comment on anything.

It’s important to acknowledge that Donald Trump is slashing funding for HIV prevention and global health programs, undermining public health agencies, and treating vulnerable communities as political collateral. That is not leadership. It’s cruelty dressed up as policy.

1. It was never about "dangerous waves of immigration" 2. They are forming an open secret police. 3. We can't wait for someone else to generate the resistance. We are all we've got.

Hi there—me again, the guy who keeps saying RFK Jr doesn't have to say he's banning vaccines to make them disappear, the guy who urges you to get up to date on all your vaccinations. This week had already given me multiple reasons to triple down on my warnings; Friday, Vinay Prasad gave me another.

As I remember, thread of all the food my cruzan family brought together today: Roast duck Ham Smoked ribs Fried chicken Japanese potato salad Seafood salad Collard greens *Plantains *Empanadas Rum punch Turkey +Pies Cookies *Stuff I brought +Stuff Mom brought

I'm not playing about my leftovers this year.

I have been wrong several times. When Obama was elected, one of my aunts said that it would inflame rays cysts. I said that it would increase support for diversity. When I'm clueless, it's on a massive scale.

Here's the thing: The truth or falsehood of these statements DOESN'T MATTER. The entire point is to rile up his base and justify their existing prejudice.

Timely reminder to check in on your friends who are in a season of grief. The holidays can unleash a flood of memories.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

So, just to be clear, Colorado Republicans don’t support businesses where there are consequences for rays cysts behavior?

I have never been jealous of someone's dry cleaning before.

Forget Trump’s myths: The real land theft is in Detroit, not South Africa The story the nation should focus on is one far closer to home: Black homeowners in Detroit whose homes have been stolen through inflated property tax bills and foreclosures. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/22/o...

Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since he took office. That’s not a coincidence. bit.ly/4oV46sG

I’m really trying to keep my feet on the ground, but the visit today and MTG resigning got my head in the clouds.
