ICE Agent, 7-Year-Old Both Wearing Same ‘Military Commando’ Halloween Costume

I am once again reminding Americans that Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserve and this has nothing to do with drugs.

ChatGPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Amazon Ring cameras are a privacy nightmare 👹but we know there are many reasons why people get them, so we have some suggestions ….

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history. The leading cause of death? Covid-19 Reports @motherjones.com

Lots of Christian’s chiming in on this and I want to chime in as a Buddhist- yes, I believe that practicing compassion includes helping to relieve suffering where possible- ICE is inflicting suffering.

like here's the thing: all buses are literally net negative emissions, literally you would be hard pressed to find a mode of transportation that's worse than personal vehicles emissions-wise a steam locomotive literally has fewer ghg emissions than a Prius per capita

Two federal judges rule at almost the same time. @bloomberg.com #SNAP www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Federal Judges have ruled a) that the President does have the authority to release emergency SNAP funds during the shutdown & b) that Trump *Must* do so. That means if payments don't go out, it's because Trump & the republicans defied the Judiciary to refuse to use their authority to send them out.

Just so everyone knows, there are at least three people running in the Democratic primary for Maine Senator

There's a bipartisan push by some in Colorado's congressional delegation to free a father and children seized by ICE on their way to school in Durango. ICE has not suggested the father committed any crime.

When I say that Trump and Trumpism is quintessentially American, this is exactly what I mean. Nothing he does is imported from Russia or from anywhere else. It’s the most homegrown authoritarianism (racism, anti-intellectualism, etc) anywhere,

True, and in fact, if you scratch the surface of most any Trumpist behavior, you’ll find a longstanding American practice that it’s built on.

As in many places, people are disappearing. It's not clear where the Memphis sheriff is housing people as the jail is full.

PRIVATE forgiveness is a private choice, and a personal one. PUBLIC forgiveness-- meaning here, a welcoming back into political organization and maybe even possible leadership-- has to have a much higher bar. It is DANGEROUS to forgive & welcome back people who have done harm without doing repair.

this is really the exception to that! it is congressional republicans who have driven this shutdown from the beginning, disciplined Trump when he suggested he might negotiate with Dems and said outright Obamacare subsidies probably should be extended Thune, Johnson and the GOP are the actors here

Whenever people invoke the Black Panther Party for self defense, I wonder if people know that there are still Panther members currently incarcerated.

And it's a final short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's local urgent needs. We still need to raise about $3K [at least] to cover the ever-growing list of locals in need of grocery cards to replace SNAP loss. Our PayPal link is below:

An official support site for Hurricane Melissa relief in Jamaica is now available, launched by the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM). Any support would be welcome to those in need! supportjamaica.gov.jm

Also an annoying number of people in the comments do not understand that the reason FDR was constitutionally able to serve more than 2 terms was not that he was like a dictator, but that the 22nd amendment establishing presidential term limits was passed after FDR.

Private equity destroys 200-year-old book distribution company that libraries around the country rely on and now libraries are having trouble getting new books: www.404media.co/libraries-sc...

Smith is retiring next year despite being an entire 6-year Senate term younger than John Hickenlooper, who is running for reelection.

The U.S. spends over $180 billion on cops and incarceration every year. The annual SNAP budget is $100 billion.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Three major respiratory viruses COVID-19, RSV & flu still drive hospitalizations yearly. A new review of 511 studies shows current vaccines work. COVID-19 mRNA shots targeting XBB.1.5 cut hospitalizations by ~46–50%; newer KP.2-adapted vaccines reached 68% effectiveness. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

#SaveSpeech We need folks to hammer paypros, as the holiday season is a prime opportunity to clog up their call centers and have our impact be felt the hardest. Need contacts, talking points, etc? use the site linked! It has a ton of info that is still relevant and useful!

Colorado may not be voting on state or national candidates, but we still need to vote on two ballot initiatives that will keep food in kids mouths by essentially taxing wealthy Coloradans a minuscule amount - vote yes on LL and MM!

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs." Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

Remember that the predominant form of age verification for porn sites — the new mandates passed in nearly every red state in the past few years — is a facial scan coupled with government ID.

Like, Dems do not have to go truffle hunting in the deep forest to locate another white guy in Maine who is willing to run for senate and has never been a fash mercenary. Literally they have one already! He's even got a fluffy dog!

BREAKING: @uaw.org workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee have authorized a strike. The bargaining committee can now call a strike at any time.

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Illinois deputy found guilty of murder in the shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 asking for help.

You guys. In capitalism the police exist to protect capital. Here is another opportunity for you to become anti-capitalist and pro-socialist.

Israel killed at least 104 people in Gaza, including 46 children, in overnight strikes on the Palestinian territory. The attacks came after Israel claimed its soldiers came under attack by Hamas militants, though the group denied responsibility.

TWO separate crashes of aircraft off the NIMITZ within a period of 30 minutes. Woof.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

on the other app i said i wanted facial recognition software gone and a woman told me i was being "fake woke" because i disagreed with mask bans. But this is what i was concerned about because i already knew of several instances where the software incorrectly IDed Black folks.

With a WEEK left until election day, it's time to make sure everyone has voted! If you have spare time, join us in canvassing to make sure everyone's voices are heard for school board elections!

This fundraiser still needs support. gofund.me/ee522f1d0
