Current mood is cancelling all plans to lie down in a Scottish peat bog

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

Every American needs to watch this:

Hot take: American white people naming and spelling their kids all kinds of nonsense was a canary in the coal mine that the US had lost its touch with a culture/identity

But it can buy rope!

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I think it’s always helpful to know what the people trying to do this look like.

Setting financial goals for the future

Golden hour in California does hit different

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

It’s a cop playing candy crush and falling asleep in his cruiser for 14 hours. The city will be billed for six hours of overtime

I’m fighting the war on protein on the side of fiber

Road tripping with papa @meeraa.bsky.social and the kid @hansscholl.bsky.social A little pit stop at this magical place. 🏔️

Saw some magic mountains on my way to California

Magneto was right

Finally some good fucking news

It’s not “wrecking” to correctly note that the Congressional Democratic responses to death squads, expulsion, and racial targeting are insulting and inadequate.

Seriously wondering why I should vote for these cowards. In fact, I think I won't do it again.

You can’t deport citizens. Some naturalized citizens can be denaturalized after a felony conviction. He is describing expulsion, a crime against humanity. It should not be subject to negotiation. Primary the entire leadership. Get them out of office if they won’t defend our rights.

I wrote a quick piece about what it would really mean to abolish ICE

To the tune of “Let It Be” by the Beatles:

these geezers are just beyond pathetic

It’s neat to see the unhinged vitriol people like Schumer have for students holding signs he doesn’t like, compared to the endless patience he has for federal law enforcement maiming, killing, and terrorizing entire cities. Really neat.

Incredible. Millions are newly-mobilized, questioning how their taxes are being used to hurt their neighbors. Republicans are in a terrible position. Democrats have huge leverage. And they may just go ahead and give DHS more money — as long as they slap on a few rules DHS is already not following.

The Democratic Party leadership's failure to honestly and with integrity propose any policy solutions that will address these issues is a moral and strategic catastrophe.

I think about this post a lot.

Defending my face card by admitting I make the bear face in all of my selfies

@coastalhoe.bsky.social told me I should make chili for dinner so I did (shredded chicken and salsa verde chili)

Homan is just as vile a monster and any of these fascist fucks. Abolish ICE. We will win

My director profusely complimented the visual slides I put together for a managers meeting and everyone said it was the perfect narrative presentation for the situation we are dealing with

Wil Wheaton comes out as a shitlib. The libshitification of Star Trek continues.

I am open to being surprised by the Democrats, but I am not getting my hopes up. Anything other than the total abolition of ICE and life in prison for its abusers is proof positive that American democracy is dead and the horrors of our current moment will persist.

Democrats may think they are softening the message when they say things like "Abolish Trump's ICE" but this is a mistake. The qualifier of "Trump's" shows a deflection of Dem responsibility for perpetuating this agency and funding it.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

this is a negotiation phase. the first counteroffer to "shut down ICE" was sidelining bovino. that's not good enough

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Feels so lib to say it but Kathy Griffin may be the most vindicated person on earth

New boycott list yall!

The Mormon church has proven yet again that it is a scourge on America. The fact Nick hasn’t been excommunicated speaks volumes of where church leadership stands. Utahns should be livid

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

Finally updated to the liquid glass iOS and I actually don’t hate it so far

The American people are braver and better than our monstrous leaders, and we will win.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I can't imagine a nonviolent way through this other than a completely unprecedented "entire country shuts down until he's literally dragged out of office by his hair into a cell"
