I kinda wonder why the ATTORNEY is in contempt? Does he actually have the documents? Or was there something about the holdup that was his fault?

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

I have recently discovered I have a new pet peeve. I do not like people subtly pivoting an issue to my feelings. Me: [Describes a problem] Other Person: "Oh, I'm sorry you feel that way." Me: Excuse you, we aren't discussing my feelings about this matter, but rather the facts.

My timeline:

If you are any kind of neurodivergent you should be careful what you're willing to swallow as a "symptom." Not everything about you that is different is a symptom. I decline to acknowledge that a "strong sense of justice" is a symptom. I want everyone to have that. Why shouldn't they?

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Hi, I'm a military historian and I spent a year reading the notes in the margins of muster rolls. You are Correct

the logic of his position is that you would them abandon those issues and so on and so on until you’ve fully sacrificed a group of vulnerable americans to reactionary bullies for the sake of a percentage point (if that)

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Every batshit crazy thing a prosecutor or cop has ever done or said in front of a jury, all I could get was an instruction to disregard, and THIS gets a mistrial and a show cause? Unfuckingbelievable.

Need you to weigh in @kenwhite.bsky.social!

Obviously lawyers should not wear a civil rights t-shirt to court. Lawyers should observe decorum by only wearing an American flag pin or a crucifix, which are neutral messages without any potentially prejudicial meaning.

Have you heard of the Butlerian Jihad and why we should do it?

and before you give them the benefit of the doubt, it's always something within their supposes expertise. just the most fucked braindead takes and you're sitting there going how is this inbred paperweight of a person on a seven figure sallary

This is Eleanor Ganfer. She is a ghost. This photo kinda makes it look like she's smiling, but that is her nose 👃 She has no mouth 🚫👅 There are 4 eyes, 1 nose and 1 mouth between the 3 Yellowfield House ghosts. statuesqueminiatures.co.uk (including to 🇺🇸) and statuesqueminiatures.etsy.com for 🇪🇺

Ok, but let's say witches were real and they raped minors on a private island. A hunt for them would seem appropriate no?

the sweetest trans girl you've ever met will be like you can date me but first you have to defeat the 300 evil things my mom said to me to make me feel unlovable

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

Here it is, your moment of zen.

In an era in which “trafficking” is a cliche used to justify bad policies and politics, my classmate Christa Foster Crawford has spent a career doing real work and making a real difference. This is a good cause.

On the other hand perhaps I am misreading Noah Rothman. Perhaps his reaction to the uproar over Epstein, calling it a moral panic should be read in the context of his accusation that progressives have engaged in a war on fun.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.

One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children. Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles. Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

This is basically where I'm at The billionaire, like the dreadnought, is a "threat in being," his mere presence on the board affecting the way we interact with the political domain. He's great when he's on your side. He's a problem when he isn't. And unlike a dreadnought, we can't control him.

Theory: Rich people are relatively unbothered by committing perjury, because they don't genuinely believe in an objective reality or have an expectation of suffering consequences, sufficient that the concept matters.

The UK vanguard for all this shite styled themselves "radical feminists", sometimes they styled themselves gender-non-conforming, but it's all just good old-fashioned restrictive reactionary gender norms all the way down

If they are reaching to tar us with "intellectually inconsistent" they know they already lost the long game.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.

"The great newspapers, which should plead the cause of the oppressed and the down-trodden, which should be the palladiums of the people's rights, are all on the side of the oppressor, or by silence preserve a dignified but ignominious neutrality." -Timothy Thomas Fortune

I was told by more than one voter that they didn't want to vote for Kamala Harris because she seemed kinda stupid, & this sort of deliberate coverage is exactly how people got that impression.

Been a weird week since i posted this this. It got picked up by a handful of news outlets, was shared tens of thousands of times, and then it too, started showing up in the 2026 data. All of that happened before the news exploded again after the week's events, and boy are the latest headlines grim.

as a trans person i’m more comfortable around imperials

HAL JORDAN: In brightest day, in blackest BEASTIE BOYS: NIGHT! HAL JORDAN: No evil shall escape my BEASTIE BOYS: SIGHT! HAL JORDAN: This is awkward because when I invited you I thought I was messaging Beast Boy from the Teen Titans.

i expect my politicians to thrill me. i expect them to make my body tingle with ecstasy. if they want my vote, they need to promise me unimaginable pleasures of the flesh that will scintillate me to my very core. they need to say, “ellie, our platform yearns for your touch. please bless us with thy

I have to say, ICE's new strategy of "pretend to be a traveler in distress and ambush anyone who tries to help" struck me as quite a coincidence. That's at least two or three actions designed to call down the wrath of the old gods. Are we sure it's not on purpose?

When you're targeting "the worst of the worst" by posing as people in distress needing help - *and it works* - whatever makes them "the worst of the worst" in your eyes clearly isn't their actions.

are you under the idiotic impression that milk and eggs are only sold as milk and eggs in stores and are not used in foodstuffs offered across the average supermarket? have you ever cooked or like read an ingredient list? stop being a smug bitch again. bsky.app/profile/whst...

If you're eating one egg a day, a 2% increase in egg costs raises your egg spending by about two dollars annually. You'd notice this?

This, too, is Gender. If you’re a man who makes six figures but gets dirty while doing it you’re Authentically Working Class, but if you’re a woman who’s a teacher’s aide making below median wage you’re somehow An Elite.

It was so damn frustrating trying, and mostly failing, to explain this to a couple of very earnest and very not-online Boomer academic liberals. To they extent we made progress they were inclined to cut Platner slack and blame it on the military-industrial complex for breaking him
