I was back in Immigration Court this week, this time for the hearing of a sweet little three-year-old girl, I’ll call her Estrella. She’s been in federal custody, separated from her family for more than 10 months – even though her mom lives here in NYC. The cruelty is truly mind-boggling. 🧵

Puppy was scared of the fireworks and went to his deaf dad for comfort. Seems like the dog could understand ASL. 🥰

A vastly underrated good quality in a person is their ability to apologize when they’re done something wrong. I know it’s hard to do, so I give credit to those who do it.

One of the biggest mistakes made on both sides of the Atlantic in the last couple of decades is people assuming that once a battle for rights is won, it's settled forever. It is not. You have to continue to defend those rights.

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.

Getting comfortable being bad at something, at doing something you're not yet good at, is just as much a skill as whatever it is you're trying to do.

It shouldn't need explaining that "vote blue no matter who" doesn't apply in a primary right?

Thank Goodness Hantavirus Is All Over And Everything Is Fine

The funniest thing about people who say that chromosomes are determinative of sex and gender is that 99.9% of them have no idea what their own chromosomes actually are and if they had them tested, a good number of them would suddenly have a problem. 🤷🫠

This seems like a really good time to remind folks here in the U.S. to help Democrats win as many seats as possible this November. Pick a page, pick some candidates, donate today! Blue26.org #Hungary

Vance is realllllly trying to position himself as the sane one right now, for some reason

I'm here because my Jewish grandparents escaped the Holocaust. Many of our family were not so fortunate. NEVER AGAIN is supposed to include Iranians. And Palestinians. And Ukrainians. And on and on. There are no exceptions based on religion or country of origin.

Our NIH/CDC director spoke at 2 presidential rallies, and though he continues to speak at right wing rallies, his name isn’t even mentioned in this paper. Only critics of the MAGA/MAHA agenda can be “political.” Only we have free will and agency.

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today.... This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. 🧵

The space rocket didn't blow up and the world's oldest tortoise didn't die so I say we all just agree today is a win

If you gaze long at the moon, the moon also gazes back at you. It looks right back at each and every one of you fuckers. And it's taking notes.

China should go "we're sending you 1,000 engineers and the shit they need to help you. No strings attached. You will have a solar power infrastructure by next week." What's the US gonna do, slam its own dick in the car door harder about it?

I want fully staffed public pools, and libraries that are cathedrals to public goods and a society where walling yourself off with money is viewed as sociopathic.

Writing process: (1) “I have the best argument in the world”; (2) start writing, think “oh no, this is a terrible argument, I’m going to lose”; (3) keep writing, think “this is pretty good, I think we have a good chance”; (4) proofread multiple times; (5) file; (6) find typo.

The god of bad luck doesn't require much- just for you to rail at your string of stupidly bad cards or die rolls or whatever. In return, he will make your friend's brain cancer treatable.

They really think Orwell’s 1984 is an instruction manual.

It's like they read a book about the Gilded Age and thought, wow, we should do all of this again -- tariffs and trade wars, massive corporate power, white supremacy and immigration fights, a creepy sex panic and, of course, unlimited acts of brazen corruption and graft.

man its so weird how appeasement doesn't work. fortunately there have been no historical examples of this that could have served as a guiding light to avoid it in the present

They had NO FUCKING CLUE Iran would strike Arab states. That's probably why they were unprepared for strikes on Kuwait (AKA, next door to Iran). They probably didn't think through what retaliation would mean for Bahrain. Maybe they don't even know where KSA's Shia pop is.

This machine kills fascists.

My least favorite type of reply guy is “Well, what did you expect?” I expected BETTER, Brian, you surrendering bag of Beige, you are not the spokesperson for Accepting Less

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

#Olympics #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026 #IFigureSkating ⛸️ It takes a moment for Nakai Ami to process that she's won a medal - I think she saw the '9' next to the Free Skate - & she looks almost happier than Alysa Liu who wins Gold. Liu somehow manages to avoid turning on the waterworks...

one of the problems with budgeting services is that the most cost-effective way to run services is to budget a little bit too much (but not too *much* too much)

But elections aren't races. The point of an election isn't to determine which politician is "best" at winning elections, it's to find out who best represents the voters. And any system that demonstrably sometimes lumbers voters with a representative that doesn't represent them has failed.

It will very much be worth your time to read this.

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

It’s half time, and that means it’s time for one of America’s most enduring and beloved traditions: mediocre white people being unproductively furious at having to notice brown people

This is really an instance of a very longstanding trend where secular pundits end up unwittingly aligned with fundamentalists in treating the crudest and most extreme version of any faith as the genuine article and everything else as somehow inauthentic.

January was a long year. Can’t wait to see in February who the US will invade, who ICE will kidnap and kill, what deadly disease they will bring back, how Trump will steal our money, and whether there are any remaining international agreements and institutions from which we can withdraw.

this video probably isn't relevant to anybody!

@lukeoneil47.bsky.social ‘s verse about this never fails to move me

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Not exactly the same as what you're asking, but Android has a feature that can automatically record up to 45 minutes of footage, and automatically share with your emergency contacts. Triggered by pressing the power button 5 times. Located under Safety & Emergency settings.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization. This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

We are building and financing a corrupt detention/industrial complex. It’s human trafficking, and it has to end.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place
