Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Kenya needs a home!! #dogsofbluesky

There are only two people that you never, ever mess with: Derek Guy and Isaac Chotiner

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

This is a weird reaction to all this Epstein stuff, but all of these emails are so terse, I don't understand why they weren't just sent as texts. I would be so annoyed if I was conducting a "conversation" made of single sentences via email.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

We love to see it

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

RIP to the great Catherine O'Hara, one of the funniest to do it and a true icon

Living in this liminal space where things get worse millimetre by agonizing millimetre, where you have to be aware just enough to brace but also mime normal because if you don't YOU'RE the problem is so draining.

I will not give a shit about 'morale' among the gestapo until they are quitting in droves and also doing the other thing they should do.

This is Stonepeak's CEO, Michael Dorrell. Australian immigrant billionaire. He keeps a pretty low profile but he sure loves real estate.

NEW: Meet the private-equity firm -- and its billionaire immigrant CEO -- making millions off some of ICE's cruelest deportation flights. After a five-month investigation, my story for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough.

"Every good thing you have in your life is the product of someone else's struggle."

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D. Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate." I donated; pls join me if you can: gofund.me/7d506a3d0

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

😭 Chicago is who yall think we are.

So the SAVE Act... It passed the House. That means anyone who has changed their legal name better get a valid passport ASAP or change their name back to match their birth certificate if it passes. If they still want to vote that is 🙃 www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

This is dystopian… and not just because they’re dressed like a scene from the handmaids tale. These are mostly children. This is where Liam Ramos is being held. They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions. These kids are braver than every ICE thug holding them hostages

I know it's really demoralizing that -republican lawless fascism is in the streets abducing actual children and traumatizing innocent people -democrats are rushing to make solutions that kick the problem down the road a year or two at best but both groups are pissing off literally everyone

Updated--Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Keith Porter, Jr: 302K -- same Parady La: 45K --> 49K Heber Sanchez Dominguez 47K -- same Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz 18K --> 21,892 Victor Manuel Diaz 2.5K --> 4,189 Geraldo Lunas 2.2: --> 10,280 Luis Gustavo Núñez: 1.9K --> 15,275

APA only has a handful of dogs left that need to go to unicorn homes that don't have other pets or children. If that describes yours and you want to help keep a dog warm for the weekend, please reach out to them at [email protected]. They also have cats with medical needs.

It's a kimchi grilled cheese and tomato soup kind of day

Please help Lulu and her family survive in Gaza. She keeps getting booted from Bluesky, but they are in desperate need of shelter, food and basic necessities. Any help for them would be incredibly appreciated. chuffed.org/project/1277...

i'm way less scared of civil war ii erupting than i am of absolutely nothing changing as things get worse and worse & the entire media apparatus pivots to pretending that using 5-year olds as bait to try and lure people out of their houses before also arresting the 5-year olds is normal

Please help Mohammad if you are able to

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

Minimum wage job: a mistake can cost you a hand Medium wage job: a mistake can cost a million dollars CEO: You can set $70 billion on fire making a mistake, name your company after it, and barely even remember doing so the next day

All the way back to 2015, it’s the pretending that is killing us. We have the strength to stop this weak man and his deranged plans, but we won’t, because it would require us to drop all our self-praising little fictions about being masters of restraint and subtlety, and actually strike back.

Hi this is a concentration camp. Looks like one, functions like one, is one.

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

I went ahead and made an unofficial guide to Bluesky, the official app of sports. I hope it helps you find your various sports/team communities. badfaithtimes.com/your-guide-t...
