Taking money from starving children to coddle one of history’s greatest starver of children

And the plantation* immediately reminded me of the Hank Willis Thomas piece, “The Cotton Bowl.” But the street corner, bodega, and home sets were just as powerful. *people are saying the bushes were people!

How come a sitting president can sue an individual, but an individual cannot sue a sitting president?

genuinely legendary resume. rest in peace o7

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

I hate to Schumerpost, it’s hacky in its own way. But he and any Democrat like him really need to be steamrolled into oblivion. They’re constantly underselling the dangers of the moment and trying to get us back to the “Republicans Are My Friend, Let’s Give Another Trillion Dollars to Israel” vibe.

Even when we win — which is increasingly unlikely these days — we still lose

The onus is on you to nominate someone else. We cannot vote for Newsom. You cannot expect minorities to vote for their own destruction. If Vance is bad (which he absolutely is), you need to make it your priority to ensure a monster like Newsom never gets within lightyears of the Dem nomination.

Every ICE/BP agent on the scene that day should go to prison.

*sigh* People that know nothing about criminal justice reform, police, or Black people, just on here declaring as fact things that are absolutely not true. There is no harm that ICE is doing that is not currently being done by cops at between 10X to 100x the scale. Shootings. False detention.

If you want to criticize ICE, criticize ICE. But don't try and sell that they're worse than cops. They're not. It's not sadder when white people get shot in the back than when Black people get shot in the back. It's not sadder when white presenting kids are in detention than when Black kids are.

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws. Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

i really don't think they can thread the needle by making a model that pretends like it has sentience and is establishing its own boundaries but in service of telling these freaked out users to knock it off. its actually worse than if it stopped wrapping itself in fake humanity and just said GOTO:1

god damn

Campbell is up, down, and through the files. And before she could ever be brought in for questioning, she would be arrested for some ridiculous charge by the Russian police and live out the rest of her life in a gilded cage like Maxwell.

"Birth of the Homunculus" A sorceress astounded by her creation. This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday! (see thread for details + process shot-by-shot)

Can we stop acting like every bit of research about trans people is entirely new? The study they are referencing suggests that injections are more effective and that Spiro sucks... which like... thats been known for a long time

just dozens and dozens of posts extending through a whole weekend and doing the 2026 version of 2024’s “people who say they’re trans on here & express concerns different than mine are actually republican operatives trying to make the community look bad.” watch a movie. take a breath. call a friend.

I keep thinking that someday I will become used to the hideousness of cybertrucks and they will finally blend into the background and every time I see one I am struck anew by how awful they are

make local coop to play with wife

I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.

And people wonder why we say democratic leadership is out of touch and hates the base.

“If you didn’t shop at Sears last year, why would I ever try and convince you to shop at Sears?” - Sage wisdom from a company destined for success.

need to make everyone in San Francisco watch this video every morning and every night

Germany already had ICE, pictured here.

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

I contracted as a paid media strategist at agencies for many years, basically auditing efficiencies for PPC clients. Throughout 24-25, they axed me because various AI tools made my job “unnecessary”. Seeing this contextualizes the “how’ve you been” text I got from a former colleague last week lol

The funniest part of Trump dragging Bill Maher is that Maher has endlessly gargled Trump’s balls ever since the dinner.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future. mandatoryrollercoaster.com/post/8081046...

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded" Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

The story of our current political moment will be written in retrospect as one of elites creating alternative information environments for themselves and then freaking out because of them. It’s like telling exaggerated ghost stories at a sleepover and then everyone not sleeping.

another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated

Idk what's going on with the PR strategy for this game but I have talked to multiple games press people who have never heard of it and it's QUITE GOOD!! Way more of a crowd pleaser than something like Cronos and yet is getting 1/100th the promotion. And it's less than $20?????

If you're having a bad day, take a moment to check out this luscious scenery.

right now “illegal” is anything a billionaire fascist doesn’t like. we need to learn to call that out as the bullshit it is.

The Women’s Institute was pressured to exclude trans women by the threat of litigation brought and paid for by JKR’s legal fund. So now the newly trans-hostile WI groups are haemorrhaging members and many groups are folding, closing opportunities for all women. Well done JK and the GCs, eh?

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

When I say I stand on business this what I mean.

This dude is such an opportunistic cult-of-personality staged blight.

In Irvine, CA, ICE is moving into offices located next to a childcare agency. In NY, ICE is moving into offices on Long Island near a passport center. In a wealthy community near Houston, TX, ICE appears poised to move into an office bldg blocks away from a preschool

2025-2026 is creating sentences that weren't made for the English language
