honestly what can you compare this sort of thing besides like, the Mongol sacks

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

I can’t stop rewatching the Ace Combat 8 trailer

I am dead serious when I say that if one of the most vulnerable people in the country can do this with the right allies, no fight in American politics is completely hopeless.

Me: “I wish I passed.” Monkey’s Paw: *curls* “Your male coworkers treat you as lesser than them now.”

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

it really sucks that my assumption that a really good evening yesterday would be followed by a shitty day today was completely spot on. it’s almost like every time a good thing has happened, it’s been immediately followed by like 3 bad things, and especially if i get excited about the good thing.

“It's maddening to see the number of inquests that I attend, the number of funerals that families have to attend, and the fact that we are 30 years after the royal commission, and the situation is getting increasingly worse…” Indigenous deaths in custody at a record level in Australia. So horrific.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

@govpritzker.illinois.gov has signed a law that that allows people to sue ICE agents for unlawful detentions & BANS immigration arrests around Illinois courthouses. This is a #CupOfJoe that EVERY Democratic governor should be serving!

absolutely massive, historic W for the republic's defenders

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations. The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

What makes their tactics any different from criminals? Criminals also don’t uphold the law and respect rights. Indeed,it is altogether possible that these are the worst and most dangerous people in our society. Other criminals tend to assault people, these maskers kidnap, imprison & disappear people

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

Every day when I get to work there's a guy inside the gym next door with his yellow Lamborghini in the parking lot. Every day that guy comes out and sits in his Lamborghini revving his engine for 5 minutes. Don't be that guy.

Damn, Trump and the Republicans selling off America to foreign billionaires and dictators? Who could’ve seen this coming?

“They’re building these data centers, they’re building the power infrastructure through our homes, and they don’t seem to care,” Subramanyam said.

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

by far the most encouraging thing about the second Trump term has been the extent to which ordinary people, tasked with the execution of the very system of justice this administration wishes to corrupt, have said absolutely the fuck not our institutions are failing but our people are not

Augh i am super super super sorry to post this but i had my bill for my website sitebuilder hit and i did not prepare for it cuz of just paying rent/util. Small goal is just $26 for today so i can hit 0 and be ok in my bank before i catch an OD fee. Tysm for sharing. tip.ovaettr.gay #MutualAid

The Dems are far from perfect, but the vast majority of them seem to have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and they deserve support in an imperfect system. This cannot be said of the scum in the Rep party.

Hot take but if, in a relationship, one person cares about a thing and another person doesn’t care about that thing, the feelings of the person who does care should take priority.

Planter beats Collins?

i read stuff like this and can genuinely angry at guys like jd vance who insist that this country belongs to some narrow vision of the "native born"

From R+13 to D+0.85, another ~13 point swing. I’m starting to see a pattern.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.

Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.
