Moving past the part where most of those people shouldn't be imprisoned at all, is Steven Miller aware that even "bad guys" have basic human rights?

My ADHD means I typically live in unrecognized chaos, it's driving me insane right now, but I know it's not really about the house... so this is weirdly on point. I just bought 4 new lamps because I can't SEE in this house! and I'm deep cleaning EVERYTHING, yay avoidance!

Not to be a whiny bitch, but this fucking "atmospheric river" that is doing its thing here in Washington right now is some bullshit. No, it is NOT "always like this"... this is horrible, it's depressing, and gross af. It needs to be done now. I live on a damn ISLAND, and it's FLOODING, what tf?

"A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told the outlet in a statement Friday that Guzman matched the description of someone the agents were looking for." Translation: "We were using racial profiling to snag brown people."

Rereading the Watch books from Discworld and remembering why they should be even more widely read…

Gross.

This GoFundMe is for the wife & child of Mundo Corrales, my son's Spanish teacher, who lost his life yesterday on the way to school in a car accident. He was so excited to be a new father & husband & talked about them often. Thank you for inspiring a love of language in my son. gofund.me/e34ac0903

Anybody else binge Stranger Things season 5 episodes 1-4 yet? here are some takeaways that should be okay and not too spoilery....

The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS! wtop.com/dc/2025/11/d...

That poor woman, that poor freaking family.

My son is studying The Guilded Age right now and this complaint is not new. Since the very beginning, settled immigrants have been looking down their noses at new immigrants, trying to force assimilation while ignoring that their own immigrant ancestors brought THEIR cultures and wounds with them.

are we mad at Post Malone right now? Trending Posts suggest we're mad at Post Malone.

My niece: I don’t know much about politics, but that Kristi Noem lady needs her ass handed to her…. 😬🥴

Probably to aliens, probably not to everything else. I'm an agnostic only on the technicality that I don't know for sure, so I guess that applies to most everything. But the universe(s) basically go on forever, so there's no damn way we're alone.

There's some guy outside across the street screaming at someone on his phone, of course, as soon as I opened the door his eyes were on me like he was heat-seeking, so I went back inside. I'm here wondering if I need to sweep my dead roses or dust my trees so I can be snoopy.

pft! um-- okay. who tf would be surprised by ANYONE with money and power being on that list? not me.

Women are used to this-- and men should be too. Can any of you come up 10 or even 5 celebs or people in positions of power that you would SERIOUSLY be shocked if they turned out to be horrible people?

Shut up Piggy!!

If you ever see me apologizing or trying to take back anything I've said about Trump just know it's under duress and I'm lying to save my kids or something and I still mean every bit of it.

they smashed her window in with a LOADED GUN! That's insane! How would you even talk to a therapist about how our souls are rotting away every day we live like this? What could they even SAY?? I think about people who live in war zones... what it must do to their brains. When does this end??

listen... we're not morons, we know what's happening-- let her play her games and burn her bridges and I'll be here like "aww, yeah, you're sorry, that's great MTG" as she destroys what connections she has then OBVIOUSLY we'll sit here and not associate with her anyway. who do you think we are???

I'm not crazy about this Bubba talk with Clinton. Not because I don't assume he's in there-- but it's a stretch to just assume Bubba is Bill. Also, if it was, Trump and Bill were two consenting adults, so honestly, though it makes me gag, it's not our business, and it's bordering on homophobic.

Holy based Also damn it’s been 8 years since Vine shut down 💔

can we have more apps that forbid AI please? I'm so freaking tired ofit.

Gender Critics start to realise they got exactly the consequences they should have foreseen, and throw a strop. Oh dear.

Even more shocking is how shocked everyone is. Can we get rid of the Democrats yet? I'm sick of having to be counted as one.

"SHOCKED!" wait... let me try that again... ahem "SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!!!!!"

Jury Duty Scam called by "sheriff's office". They said I missed jury duty, that I had signed saying I'd be there. I said I hadn't or if I did I forgot. They didn't ask for money or any personal information. asked me to stay on the line (red flag) and drive to the Sheriff's Department... (cont'd)

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

ok so, good night for Dems. now for the LOVE OF GOD go get every official document you can get your hands on and be ready for some major attempts at voter suppression in the next election. I suspect this will be especially true for women. Get your marriage certificate & your birth certificate ready.

Why do people think he wanted to wait until after midterms for all of this to go into effect?

The entire Bread and Puppet performance was right on time but this is the skit that I keep thinking about the most. I was slow to start recording - others have posted more complete recordings - but I did manage to catch the Spanish chorus:

Step One to becoming an ICE agent:

Is it our duty to have kids in order to keep the system going? Churn out worker bees for this shithole to chew up and spit out? Fuck that. If society can't provide a stable environment where we feel safe having and raising children, then we're not going to. Change the system or go extinct.

Listen, shithead, that's not how Democracy works. You have the majority-- but not enough to pass a bill as it is written-- you don't just pout and take your ball home if you can't browbeat your opponent into voting with you, you change the bill until it works enough to get those votes. NEGOTIATE!

girl... hurry up and run for president so I can vote for you

WTF hellscape is this humiliating bullshit?

It cannot be stressed enough how important mutual aid networks are about to become. These will be tantamount to replacing the cut benefits in the coming weeks. Reach out within your communities. Build connections, talk to people. Ask how you can help each other. When we build solidarity, we win!

The regime wants to divide us. Instead, let’s kill them with kindness. Not kindness towards them, but kindness towards each other. They seem to be incapable & unknowing of loving kindness. The more we unite & support each other, the more we erode their power.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

I looked up a hx of renovations to the White House/property & realized it's not uncommon... I think I hate it because of the scale & price of the project (in this fucking economy?) also I don't trust him, it's going to be huge & ugly & unecessarily involves tearing apart the ENTIRE East Wing.
