During the Japanese Internment, their property was confiscated by the government and/or sold for as little as 10% of their value to locals. I just wonder what happens to immigrants' homes and other property when they're send to a camp and deported?

"When it comes to publishing Harry Potter, it’s pretty simple: don’t." Members of a grassroots movement are pressuring Upper Deck Entertainment to not put tabletop money in the hands of a powerful transphobe. So far, they've been met with silence.

This is awesome. Especially since more ICE agents may be contractors than realize it.

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

this does not "spark fresh questions" this piles on additional evidence to what we already know. WHAT POSSIBLE QUESTIONS COULD BE RAISED BY THIS OTHER THAN WHY HAVEN'T WE STOPPED IT YET?? comemierdas

I mean the main blowback they are facing from me is not going far enough.

An annual meeting of the nation’s governors that has long served as a rare bipartisan gathering is unraveling after President Donald Trump excluded Democratic governors from White House events.

Pam Bondi says the system will collapse if she prosecuted everyone who is in those files... well, don't threaten me with a good time if you aren't gonna follow through. Geez.

The problem with them choosing this as their primary talking point is that nearly every in Minnesota personally knows someone who has been taken by ICE. And they all had either a spotless criminal record or an entirely non-violent one. These are lies. They are going to lose. MN will not quit.

What is: the Trump administration

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

A little update to this. A source emailed me to say they'd used an industry tool to look up Coral Hart's sales and they totaled only 37 copies for the books under that pen name. So, yeah I do not believe the six figures on 50k sales the NYT reported.

Abusers do this. You can never hate them because of what they’ve done to you. You’re just an easily suggestible person who has been duped by malevolent forces working against them. They can’t reckon with their own evil or the fact that they’re undesirable.

I'm grateful that Kyle surfaced all these extraordinary opinions slamming the Trump administration for the illegal detention of immigrants. This one leaps out in part because the judge is warning us that abuses being inflicted on immigrants now are a preview of what could be unleashed on citizens.

As I've said many times, this is an awful thing that we are doing to ourselves for no discernible reason.

Realfood.gov's AI just told me to go eat Snickers and Tostitos.

Sometimes if you cut it down correctly, you can still see the last meal a tree had in its stomach when it died

high on the list of problems with crypto is that it is the best way to get incredibly rich by being staggeringly, cartoonishly unethical

It was 85° in California the last several days; they were wearing masks.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

The reason we do mutual aid & the reason why mutual aid is grounded in anticapitalist theory from a long time is that capitalism says your survival depends on what you can do for people. We say, no you deserve to survive by virtue of your humanity. If you can't produce, we will help you survive.

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

Hasbro owns the trademarks for Wizards of the Coast and is therefore the controlling company of Magic: the Gathering snd Dungeons and Dragons. D&D and M:tG will not get another cent from me until this deal is dead.

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Cartoon: With thanks to @toonsmith.bsky.social for learning me that Shari Lewis contributed writing some ST:TOS :)

THIS.

I've been hearing people who are witnessing the impacts of AI on coding saying, "Aside from physical labor, the thing people should be focusing on is...mmm...I don't know what to call it..." ...and then they haltingly describe a liberal arts education.

As a reminder, because McIver had the temerity to attempt oversight of ICE in her own district, the regime is actively prosecuting her and threatening her with a long prison sentence. But she's not backing down.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I actually don't think there's anything more beautiful than a group of dorks with varying flavors of neurodivergence pretending to be a group of equally varied little freaks who wander the countryside seeking adventure and justice for a few hours a week.

“the withering of public health might not anticipate a future apocalypse so much as it recalls a previous America, one where lives were cheaper and shorter, where good health was the province of a privileged few…” www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This was not an inevitability. This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind. It does not have to be this way.

🤷🏼

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

"We left with all my children" implies there is an alternative, which is so horrifying I've never even considered it.

There are days when that happens, or someone shows us a filament purchase that came with a gift note from another country, or y'all are donating to the ProtoPasta fund from Canada or the UK or... Just, thank you. Shit is bleak & exhausting over here but y'all make us feel less alone.

I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.

my mood for today depends entirely on Cory and Korey I may be more invested in this than any other single medal at the Olympics

"And we left with all of my children, my nannies, and my wife" is going to stay with me for a long time

“We’re writing our worst attributes into its source code, and it’s generating so much stuff back into the internet that it’s starting to drink its own piss.”

Because none of that stuff -- other than voting -- is a right guaranteed to all citizens in the United States Constitution. You useless, hollow shitheel hack of a lying politician.

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.” hbr.org/2026/02/ai-d...

Every jobs report is like look, we wrecked the economy, but we swear that’s a good thing

Right. Age verification: We called anime "Japanimation."

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights. When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
