I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

HAPPY TASKMASTER PREMIERE DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

They killed nearly 200 children on the first day of this war and no one of authority suffered a single consequence. That’s how we got here.

Trying to make and effort to join a local queer book club. But they keep choosing very sad books. This month is Song of Achilles and I don't think I can continue as they head off to this stupid stupid war. Where is the book club for Heated Rivalry fanfic? that's about where I am, emotionally.

finding joy despite the world in 2025 is like this lol

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

85 schoolgirls. just one is a world, a future of infinite possibilities, a universe. that america has done this atrocity to 85 of them, that it will continue to do even worse... i don't even know what to say. i condemn this with every fiber of my being, but that doesn't feel like enough.

when i say bring that baby home i mean EVERY BABY

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

With alt text:

A lot of people don't understand how the 2A supporters are so okay with this, and the answer (as brilliantly explained by Carol Anderson in her book "The Second" ) is that the 2A has never been about protecting everyone's right to bear arms, but rather protecting white people's property USING guns.

“There is no remedy but abolition.”

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

I don't mean to get earnest on main but I've watched so many shot for shot breakdowns of this show and a very simple reason in addition to everything Tal laid out is the show took the source material seriously. And so much stuff that takes romance and puts it on screen doesn't

one thing thats nice about getting through the existential tailspin and dread generative ai puts everyone through eventually is youll see other people finally go through it and think "ah yes more soldiers for the army, excellent"

I want to do something productive tonight. But then also I just want to continue my re-read of Heated Rivalry. Decisions.

Obsessed with the hockey boys. There are not enough episodes of the hockey boys 😭

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Feeling sick about not having ACA option. My current day job is very likely to last a few more months. And it feels even more unlikely that I’ll ever be able to go back to freelancing. These fucking senators.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

You can find your local food bank here! www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

I'm back on my bullshit~ The bullshit: trying to convince kidlit imprints that five years to illustrate a 200-page graphic novel is a fully reasonable and actually excellent time frame considering publishers neither offer artists health insurance nor pay enough for artists to live on.

Wrote a thing. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Every part of this sentence describes an abomination before God. People are going to hell for this.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The federal govt wants to rescind the Roadless Rule, which would open 45 million acres of public land for private interests - disrupting wildlife habitat, destroying carbon sinks, and imperiling outdoor recreation in the places we love TODAY is the last day for public comment - file yours now!!

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Was reminded I needed to cancel by Hulu subscription by *waves hands* and hmm the cancel button is not working.

Fucking finally. Fight back against the bullshit framing that tries to make Dems responsible for everything. The GOP is *choosing* to create this kind of societal environment. They could stop it at any time. They have agency as well. They’re not fucking children (except when, well, you know)

Just realized I've been thinking Charlie Kirk and Kirk Cameron were the same person this whole time.

Fuck RFK jr and fuck this administration

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Surely this makes techbro claims of 'training' their generative AIs on illegally obtained copyright work inaccurate to the point of lying. 'Training' implies retention of knowledge/skill. If genAIs retain nothing and search copyright work afresh for every query, that's ongoing use and exploitation

“The daily cost of the D.C. troop deployment is more than four times what it would cost to operate affordable housing for D.C.’s entire unhoused population.” interc.pt/45PvcJf

Thinking about the Cave of Hands, some of the art dating back to 7,300BC, where 25% of the hand prints are thought to be that of children. Imagining those people gently holding their child up to the cave walls, and using their tiny little hands as a stencil. Art = love = the human soul

People are absolutely going to Hell with a capital H for what they've done to this man and everyone else who's been sent to these concentration camps.

Remember: your job is not to change their minds. That's no one person's job. By joining a wave of calls, you're doing your part to help. That's the beauty of collective action.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights
