"close Delaney Hall and free every person in there" is the demand, so direct that (in my experience) some people may miss it rather than accept it

do I jool? hell yeah I do

this is so good lol

woke up feeling like my body was pummeled by Mike Tyson

this has been on my mind bc it feels like ppl don’t realize that this is the norm for detention in the US or think that people in jails/prisons “deserve” it point im trying to make: when the law decides a class of ppl is worthy of detention, anyone can find themselves in that group as it expands

they really don’t prepare you in law school for the amount of people that want definitive answers to a complex legal question with life altering potential that they gave you a roughly 30 second summary of

my sincere hope for this moment is that people understand that these reports apply to every detention site, and that detention in of itself is a potential death sentence for anyone in this country no one should experience these horrors regardless of what they’re accused of

We’re bringing back Juche, folks. And quite frankly, we’re bringing it back stronger than possibly ever

sometimes I click the discover tab and it’s a bunch of these types of posts as if the year 2015 was ensconced in amber

so i think about this and see it as an inevitability of the system. i agree strongly with the underlying point and while we certainly can and should elect leaders who are accountable to the actual people, i struggle with the thought that all politicians will succumb to the same forces

I say this regularly and invariably some people lose their shit because they have trouble with reading. There won't be a shortage of people focused on electoralism over the next few years. So if that's not your ministry, you don't also have to focus there. There's much else to do. Do those things.

why do the graphics from the resist libs look like they were created in 1999 in both image quality and design

i think no less is owed than a public mea culpa from @threadatl.bsky.social about their advocacy for paid parking in Atlanta that has resulted in the expansion of surveillance by flock ALPRs

You are going to see things you dislike in yourself reflected back to you through your child. This is your opportunity to respond with compassion to them and yourself.

i get a surreal feeling in the daily reality we find ourself in that feels like we are living in a world where everyone is going through the motions

in death stranding it appears im a delivery boy in a world where dead people turn into nuclear bombs and babies in some sort of hermetically sealed jug allow you to see monsters that have hands for feet, if im understanding the game correctly

Cuba's minister of energy confirmed reserves are gone — with just enough diesel left to keep hospitals online. The UN has classified Washington's blockade a humanitarian crisis.

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

New to the ICE Warehouse Tracker: a comprehensive list of all 137 WEXMAC TITUS contractors — the Navy contracting channel ICE is using to fast-track its detention buildout. See who's been pre-qualified to potentially staff, build, and run facilities. Confirmed ICE awards highlighted in green.

it does feel like 90% of non-profits exist to launder the reputation of purely capitalist ventures

i’m saying this as someone who has had covid multiple times and who has experienced, and is wading through, the cognitive dysfunction it creates. i know how hard that engine is churning and how much harder it gets after another round of illness. it’s not normal. mask up again.

If you're uplifting Obama as a positive example of how to address race & racism in this country, what are you actually saying? Given where the country currently is with a resurgent & openly virulent white supremacist movement and President, does this point to Obama's "success"?????

this is one of the companies this person is defending www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Counterpoint: No I will not

city has been digging up a water line directly in front of my house all week from 9-5 and if the constant jackhammering shaking my entire house, whine of diesel motors, beeping dump trucks wasn’t enough to drive me insane (it is) they also hit the internet line and took it down for our whole block

are the progressives in the room with you right now

YIMBYs please don’t throw your support behind Flock. im begging you. its too powerful of a strategy. please don’t do this it’s going to be too popular

soft ai proponents have to do this thing where they try to craft this Reasonable Middle Ground for ai use that doesn’t exist to make ai seem more palatable. sadly for them a terrible analogy is best they got

wild latent racism in this statement

anti-car zealots are crazy bc an old person on here was like “im disabled and can’t ride a bike” and got attacked by thousands of people

stares into the camera like Jim from the office

this is actually a prime reason why New York Totally Sucks

the claudereign citizen movement

this tragically checks out

AI lovers that say ”YIMBY includes data centers“ need to be forced to drink this until morale improves

ohtani is incredible and a leadoff homer by a pitcher is very cool but espn is in general acting as if it’s some kind of never before seen feat like it wasn’t very recent history that carlos zambrano and mike hampton (among others) were pitching and socking dingers at the same damn time

how many times do you think the people that actually believe this have been fooled by the wallet inspector

would be very curious to know the political leanings of these officers before and after the violence they thought they were insulated from came for them

exactly

i have a hypothesis that when my breathing is restricted my dreams are more likely to be nightmares (if i do dream)

this person 100% uses ai

children have a firehose of racist propaganda being spewed at them. i think ppl, even on the left, sometimes have this idea that certain people (even kids) are Just Evil. in practice this conflicts w/ the position that we can stop the radicalization of a population that lacks fully formed brains

hey we go thru cycles okay

we really went from abolish the police to webinars with prosecutors alliance (incidentally founded in 2020 - hm, I wonder why)

Stephon on Wemby: "The best player in the fuckin world!"

Please read this important message from our Publisher and Editor @alexip718.com, who recently departed the United States after the Trump administration wrongfully denied his work permit renewal. You can support Alex's emergency relocation and next steps through the link in the statement:

Lol

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

everyone knows this is the real finals matchup
