Learning that Platner covered his Nazi tattoo with some “norse-celtic” bullshit is not convincing me that he was ever getting any tattoos “accidentally”

A less transphobic press might start asking "How does driving a doctor out of Scotland help cut NHS wait times? Why is Scotland better with fewer doctors? Which other minority staff would you get rid of?"

Some people are calling it the flag of Woke 2

One of my friends who's a true kindred spirit sent me this 🤣 Happy Valentine's Day! 🥰😘💕✨️

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off. Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering. Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

I may say more later but part of what some of us need to understand is that the right has built an entirely distinct civic society, with its own hierarchy and (mostly networked) cultural institutions. That includes celebrity.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

maybe the big tent is “people who have seen through gavin newsom, 2003 - present”

By the power invested in me, I hearby proclaim this woman, "White Woman of Next Month!" (sorry, you cant have February.) Not all heroes wear blue jeans

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

I am Baraa of Gaza, we need your help The war has stopped but the suffering continues and the life in tents has not ended and our house has been destroyed. Please help me travel to build my future. Please do not be afraid.🙏🏻😭🍉 tinyurl.com/Help-Baraa

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

Thanks to everyone who has donated to this. Not only do we have enough money to print over 10,000 more KYR cards in various languages, I even got some more local teacher families on here reaching out for some ❤️‍🔥

And you also have the head of the HHS rolling back all sorts of preventative public health measures because he wants to return to some Neolithic Darwinian hellscape where only the strongest survive, which you demonstrate by living after snorting coke off a toilet seat I guess

And let’s not forget that the president has praised his allegedly good genes and suggested Mexicans are genetically predisposed to be rapists

Transphobia? For a lot of them it’s partly in the belief that those who transition are preventing themselves from passing down their genes, which is sacrilege. And then you have Epstein basically funding a whole bunch of race science. I figured there would be some of that, but not THIS much

Backlash to MeToo? Partly a means of getting women back in the kitchen and having babies, like good compliant eugenicist moms should. Rising anti-semitism? Concern about great replacement theory. Anti-immigration? Also great replacement theory.

Thiel disciple JD Vance has repeatedly talked about the falling white birth rate and has made efforts at getting policies in place to implement positive eugenics. People went to rallies with bottles they labeled as his cum…

Epstein had a whole “compound” in New Mexico where he harvested a bunch of rich men’s cum to store in perpetuity so they could be used to breed superior humans, as mentioned in OPs article. It is a direct copy of William Shockley’s idea, but Epstein had the money to do it

Musk is the easiest to pinpoint this on: his dad inculcated him with eugenic beliefs and everything from his concern about birthrates to his transphobia to his work at DOGE has a eugenic explanation behind it. Megathread here bsky.app/profile/bmce...

I know there are a lot of valid frameworks from which to examine why billionaires and their hangers-on are destroying everything and everyone, and obviously I’m biased here, but I think most of the reasons revolve around them being eugenicists first and foremost

Best fighter, hands down. Gloria Richardson, 1963.

Personally I’ve always been a fan of our milkshake queen, because just look at this woman as she goes to court. She does not give a single fuck. If she saw Farage again, she would probably throw a second milkshake at him.

Choose your fighter: badass women edition

I will keep repeating myself until it becomes accepted fact in The Discourse: Elon Musk is a eugenicist and has repeatedly demonstrated this with what he has said and what he has done

If white people (men!) want to know what they can do; take some tips!

Let’s put our heads together, and start a new country up.

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

It was in the early morning of Valentine's Day 1965 that Malcolm X's home was firebombed while he, his wife, and their four daughters were inside. Everyone survived the attack, but exactly one week later Malcolm would be assassinated

The fascist is still working for ICE

Read this whole thread and share it widely. An immigration attorney details all of the abuses by DHS in violation of the law and civil rights. They're trying to do the Holocaust 2. I'm not being hyperbolic. Read. Look at the facts. "MAGA will succeed where the Nazis failed." --Elon Musk

To everyone thanking me, much appreciated but not why I posted! Pls support your local immigrant defense group like: The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota: www.ilcm.org/donate/ Or my hometown LUCE: www.lucemass.org/donate Or Google your city/state & “immigrant defense” to find your local heroes!

So the confrontations, violent apprehensions, and general fear bearing down on communities like Minnesota is only the beginning of the nightmare. Behind the scenes, Orwellian anti-judicial antics thwart lawful recourse. And hidden from sight, non-citizens are tortured for being noncitizens. 29/

These are the conditions under which the Trump regime wants to detain noncitizens indefinitely. It violates international law, the Eighth Amendment, and our own laws & regulations. And the DOJ and DHS are willing to manipulate any law, defy any court order, to keep doing so. 26/

I had a pregnant client who was experiencing abdominal cramping for three days and was deprived of medical care. When we interceded, she was punished. A first grader snatched two days after surgery denied wound care. A client who developed a large painful cyst but was ignored. 25/

A transplant recipient whose body was rejecting his organ because DHS won’t give him his absolutely essential anti-rejection meds. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-arrests-... 24/

4. Medical malpractice. Here’s why I say stopping this detention-to Texas pipeline is life of death. An 18-month old hospitalized after nearly dying of three simultaneous respiratory infections. When she returned to the camp, DHS withheld her meds. 23/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

2. Non-potable water. Clients have reported becoming ill from chemical-tasting water. Some developed rashes. 3. Deplorable accommodations. A client sick with the flu was forced to sleep on a frigid concrete floor. In Camp East Montana, fetid water leaches through the roof and soaks the beds. /22

And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment. 1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasn’t fed for >36 hours. 21/

I had two clients moved within an hour of ICE learning we were looking for them and advising us there was not plan to move them. A family of four moved 36 hours after a court order forbidding them from being moved. 3 other clients moved within a day of court-ordered injunctions. 20/

And even when we move at warp speed and outpace this regime, DHS doesn’t care. They’ve moved people to Texas hours or days after being enjoined. When ordered to return them, DHS just… doesn’t. The AUSAs let them: when we notify them of a violation, they send the email equivalent of a shrug. 19/

So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas? It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death. 18/

See ICE wants these cases in Texas, where Trump-infected courts are more tolerant of their antics, more biased against non-citizens, more willing to let DHS fill up concentration camps. (Not all Texas judges, for sure. Plenty are bravely faithful to the rule of law. ICE is playing the numbers) 17/

Meanwhile, DHS shows its contempt for the judiciary in a different way. In dozens, likely now thousands, of cases, DHS openly defies court orders. Minnesota courts enter orders forbidding ICE from moving noncitizens who’ve filed habeas petitions out of Minnesota. They move them anyway. 16/

Local immigrant defense networks were deluged with life and death cases. They put a call out for private lawyers to step in and provide pro bono help. My firm did. And since we joined the effort on January 14, it’s been some of the hardest, most exhausting, most depressing month of my life. 8/
