I refuse to learn who Olivia Nuzzi is

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

Prior to June 8, the LAPD had not used tear gas in crowd-control settings in almost 50 years, an LAPD spokesperson told L.A. TACO. The full story: lataco.com/city-council... By @shoton35mm.bsky.social

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

For real though why are people consuming mild cheddar cheese when sharp cheddar is just out there existing for the same price? #DeepThoughts #Cheese #DeepCheesyThoughts

Not only should #SpotifyWrapped not be a thing given current ad campaigns supporting anti-immigrant efforts, I our obsession with trends like this is just another way they own us. We allow ourselves to become so fixated on participating in every trend, experiencing FOMO over the smallest things.

It's officially #SpotifyWrapped season, so we're flipping the script by unwrapping Spotify. Tell them to drop ICE ads now! Since Spotify won’t protect immigrant communities, we’re using their own celebration to hold them accountable. Cancel your subscription to get them to pull the plug on ICE

Wow. "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.” - Newsmax's Judge Napolitano

Disability isn’t a bad word. There’s nothing wrong with being disabled. There’s nothing wrong with identifying as disabled. Ableism teaches us that we have to hide our disabilities. Self acceptance means we stop hiding. We won’t go gently for the comfort of others.

For a deep dive on America's immigration crisis, listen to this week’s Gaslit Nation: American Gestapo, brought to you by Stephen Miller and his fascist enablers gaslitnation.libsyn.com/american-ges...

Communities need used-book shops. As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories... We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

Last Thursday, a federal judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., was illegal. Today 2 National Guard soldiers are shot Trump sends 500 more troops 🤔

I won’t claim to know anything for certain especially since these guardsmen have been made a symbol and an antagonistic presence that makes them a target. But I trust nothing, am skeptical if everything, and this was my first thought as well.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

Yeah this isn’t a FAFO moment it’s a “the cruelty is the point” moment.

“.. This is X in 2025: Potentially fake accounts crying at other potentially fake accounts that they aren’t real, all while refusing to acknowledge that they themselves aren’t who they say they are — a Russian nesting doll of bullshit.” @cwarzel.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

OK we all see what the NYT editors are doing here, right?

Like me, more and more of my fellow college professors and administrators are being “investigated” for refusing to roll over and capitulate to the social and professional mandates Project 2025 established. Keep an eye on this space.

A mother of 8 was sexually abused by an ICE officer. She went public with the abuse, and was deported the very next day. Her lawyer says she had a stay on her deportation order They disappeared her so she couldn’t speak out. Silvia Reyna Mendoza deserves justice. ICE should be abolished.

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay. When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

People are always like real job stability is in medicine or the law, but the most secure job is actually white guy writes op-eds about how he’s sick of the minorities.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

But shhh if they make sure Black women can’t afford life to speak out, and immigrants need to tell their worst stories to stay as families, and Natives don’t exist And the boogie man of MAGA makes anyone who notices this bloody harvesting grift be attacked Then that’s good righg

This is my kind of good trouble.

This is so counterproductive in this moment. Of course @goodlander.house.gov and @repchrispappas.bsky.social are on here because #nhpolitics are an embarrassment. newrepublic.com/post/203531/...

The joke is on Gmail, I pretty much solely use that address for commercial purposes which means they're training AI on marketing spam that was probably also written by AI. I now use a proton address for important shit

If you aren’t throwing your whole weight behind supporting persecuted groups, I’m not voting for you.

RIP Sister JoAnn Persch, immigrant advocate who, alongside Sister Pat Murphy, prayed the Rosary in English & Spanish every Friday outside Broadview ICE, no matter what **since 2007** She was still attempting to minister to people inside Broadview Nov. 1.

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

The Epstein Files bill that passed today allows Pam Bondi to withhold or redact ANY material.

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud

Gotta be honest, it absolutely sucks watching the same people who call me a groomer just for being trans say that Epstein did nothing wrong because his victims were teenagers. PEOPLE WOULD RATHER THEIR KIDS BE RAPED THAN BE TRANS. And it is INFURIATING.

I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

White women sewed the hoods the Klan wore. They will certainly run cover for and excuse the pedophiles. They are the foot soldiers who raise them from birth.

This is gotta be the press photo of the year 2025

So many feels. Rest well, you have earned it.

No justice, no peace is a fact, not a threat.

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

Exactly. "The people who got us into this mess are not the people who'll get us out of it" applies to the advisor & wonk class of the party, too.

Cook County deputies, Illinois State Police, and Broadview police just arrested at least 8 to 10 people, including several faith leaders. State police in riot gear now arriving.

I wish we talked about kids better. Not just about the news, but generally. Adultification has been true for people of color for quite some time. It's not just a legal issue, but a moral and ethical one. Our society could do more to let children live in their fullest childhood.

“ Pete, you strike the second the Epstein Files are released and you keep killing and blowing things up until Americans stop talking about those files”.

Garland is 100% complicit. If you have not read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social on the subject, here is one of many times she laid it all out. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

"If you’re autistic, and your healthcare provider doesn’t recognize that and/or know what that really means, your provider is more likely to incorrectly interpret your body language and communication style as anxious, insincere, or confrontational." At TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2022/08/auti...

This little man is out of control. I feel like I’m saying that all the time.
