Transphobes are such creeps. “I’ll decide what rights you have based on the genitals I think you were born with.” There’s something fundamentally wrong with whoever’s thinking “oo tell me more” to that.

Also for those who want to talk about affordability more than anything else, your compromise is that ICE has $85 billion now. All of that money could go to people who need it!

The only thing that would make this more of a Congressional Democratic proposal is if they figured out a way to means-test not being shot.

"Return CBP to the border" Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

Resign. Retire. Rfuck outta here.

I think a lot about Parmy Olson's observation that AI companies actively push everyone to talk about existential risk, because it distracts from more prosaic current day concerns like copyright theft, conditions for data workers, energy & water use, and their financial situation

In my opinion, ban the U.S. from global sporting competition until Trump resigns and the Republican party is purged.

ICE shouldn't be allowed to retreat to some safer zone. There is no appropriate place for them. Every ICE employee should be charged with crimes against humanity, same for every member of the Trump administration. Nothing else is good enough. "ICE out" means "out of existence."

No one fucking understands "restrain, reform, and restrict." It's weak-ass bullshit. Everyone knows what "abolish" means and what you stand for. Jesus fuck, Schumer, read the fuckin' room.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Very Online Democrats and Leftists: Bovino down. Noem on the ropes. Go for Stepher Miller: AFGE:

throwing Bovino a retirement party where he is the piñata

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back. Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

HOWEVER I shall not be letting up on any elected Dems who are like "welp we took care of that guy, mission accomplished," and try to move on you in it now motherfuckers we are pulling out this tree down to the ROOTS

Demand they sacrifice a bull. Demand thigh bones wrapped in fat.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

have they considered wandering off into the woods and getting eaten by wolves about it

As has happened with so many Hollywood monsters, they are teaching the people around them a lesson, and it’s absolutely not the one they planned on

I know respectability politics are bullshit, I know perfect victim narratives are toxic and harmful, but it really is so striking to me that they’re not only murdering white people, THESE are the white people they’re murdering On film, in the midst of trying to help people

"This November, though, a little Canadian series called Heated Rivalry figured out how to make hockey work on television. It’s not necessarily a strategy ESPN can replicate." Scare-the-neighbors literal LOL

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism. As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot. Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

My "Not involved in destroying evidence" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Every little bit helps. EVERY. Little. Bit. Don't listen to the haters and the self-appointed purity/heroism cops. Do what you CAN, and don't self-bash for not doing more.

What a heartbreaking (and simultaneously heartwarming) video. I can't imagine what it's like to live with the weight of having actively helped create today's evils. May he long continue his work toward redemption.

Professional-grade logistics is the Romance industry’s calling card. AO3 didn’t happen by accident. You’re talking about a fandom with a high concentration of lawyers and compulsive tendencies. They turned self-publishing into a billion-dollar business. They LIVE in spreadsheets.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

Talking about training (and citizens) reinforces the administration’s framing AND leaves the door wide open to using minimal reforms to appease public anger while preserving the whole violence institution intact

look, the right wing's fever dream of the left is simply not true. no elected official no matter what their political persuasion is gong to go on TV and urge their constituents to read some hot man-on-man smut [aide whispers in my ear] wait what

America's mayor (the good version)

"Speaking the truth about an abuser—what they are doing, what they are saying, what their false words and violent actions mean about how we ought to understand them and deal with them—is taken as abuse itself, is taken as violent intent or even violence itself against the abusers."

Each time all typos are successfully edited from a book, the entire universe is immediately replaced with a new universe containing a version of the book that has at least one typo.

It does feel like we are reaching the point in Minneapolis when the admin is really, really desperately hoping for some of the rioting or actual popular violence which they were very confident would have started by now

and which of course we all know is false, as the loved ones of Breonna Taylor will remind you

US government rn

There are no words.

I'm really sick of the "we have to be realistic" people who think that being realistic is bargaining with Kristi Noem and Donald Trump about how many people they get to shoot. They've already said their answer is anyone they want, unconstrained by the law.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Aside from your complete erasure of Black folks' experiences, you never learned a thing about the genocides of our Indigenous ancestors [ongoing]? And then you use a virulently anti-Indigenous colonizer trope to itemize your clear lack of understanding? WELP

I know you’re tired But please keep making queer art if you can.

This It’s not enough to abolish ICE Every last one of these organizations is beyond salvage

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Washington folks should know that while Senator Murray's voicemail box is full, Senator Cantwell's is not. Call her. Tell her not to pass any appropriations bills that fund ICE.

Good, the next thing that should end in the Senate is this presidency.

@clairewillett.bsky.social the DC office for Murray is full. People need to light up the district offices to demand a new deal with no money for an office doing summary executions. www.murray.senate.gov/office-locat...

#minneapolis @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov we know this needs to stop. Tell us how you're going to stop it.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Man the fuck up and start protecting your people. Tell your state police to start arresting these criminals. Mobilize the Guard and tell them they are to take NO orders from a demented tyrant who is executing innocents in the street. You swore a fucking oath to the Constitution.
