The DHS funding bill passed 220-207, with 7 Dems voting “Yes.” If they had voted “No” it would have failed. Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, Laura Gillen, Vicente Gonzalez m, Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, and Tom Suozzi care more about keeping their jobs then doing them. Shame.

Add Hootsuite to the list of They Can Go Fuck Themselves

Given all the news about ICE in the past few weeks, can I kindly remind you all that RELX (owners of Elsevier & LexisNexis) is "mission-critical" to ICE. ICE pays RELX Group and Thomson Reuters millions of dollars for the personal data it needs to fuel its big data policing program […]

Casual reminder that a bill must pass *both* the House and the Senate (and get signed by POTUS) to become law. The DHS / ICE appropriations bill passed the House. It still needs to pass the Senate with 60 votes. That vote will be *NEXT WEEK* Call your Senators.🔥📞🔥

Each Dem a piece of shit.

I wish I could primary Davis but also I'm lucky that Alma Adams is my rep.

Hakeem Jeffries deserves to be unemployed.

It was a town hall by electeds, but the AGs seemed just as angry about the state of the country as, say, the average Bluesky poster.

3 months of a prescription last year: 15 dollars 3 months of a prescription this year: 45 dollars #USA

Any good critical writing on the relationship between bibliography and genealogy?

Excellent reminder to always read Sarah Lamdan: www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2019/ice-sur...

the "americans will be pariahs when they travel!!" discourse is so funny. 1) we deserve it, 2) people in other countries (excluding, say, large parts of Iraq) are in reality pretty chill about americans, great satan or no

🚨🚨 The HOUSE is set to vote on HR 7147 - a standalone DHS appropriations bill - TOMORROW (Thurs 1/22) Call your House Rep and demand they VOTE NO. 🔥📞🔥 Info, numbers (DC & local offices!), call script here 👉 5calls.org/issue/dhs-bu...

Honestly if you don't live in the US and you're posting about how much we all suck for "letting this happen" and yelling for us to "do something" I suggest going and tending to your own fucking right wing assholes who I GUARANTEE are trying to do the same thing in your backyard at this very moment.

I may be biased because I’m in it, but I really really love this essay on wildness in a “civilized” world

The state partnered with a nonprofit to wipe out the debts. It also has a plan in place to prevent medical debt for people in specific income brackets. n.pr/3NvWHlJ

“prepare to be hated, americans” sweetheart i appreciate the sentiment but this is no one’s first rodeo

I am introducing the Melt ICE Act to end funding for immigrant detention and monitoring. We have seen the danger in infusing resources into DHS’s abuses of power. Funding for ICE is fuel for human suffering. It’s time to start melting ICE.

colonizer says what

sorry for getting mad i know the europeans on the internet who get boners for scolding americans who cannot afford to leave are not representative of their countries either it just sucks ass being told repeatedly that the only moral path available to you is martyrdom

the reason we "panic buy" for winter weather in the southern US is because the roads will be ICY and no one should drive on ice even if they know how to drive on snow. Also there's like 3 snow plows per state if we are lucky. We are staying home hoping the power stays on.

It’s cute when non-Americans think we can just leave the country and move somewhere else to escape all this, as if their governments haven’t also made their immigration processes just as cruel and slow.

University of Florida students were mad they didn't have a place on campus open 24 hours a day for studying, & they fought to get the Science Library open those 24 hours five days a week and won. Students. Want. Libraries. A bit about that + the funding situation: www.alligator.org/article/2026...

Europeans: Americans are so horrible. The world should shun them. Also Europeans: I just drowned a boat full of refugees in the Mediterranean.

I don't know why this made me feel better, but it did! Maybe it just made it make sense.

"You're not ready for how much the rest of the world hates Americans" I live here man I'm extremely used to the concept of hating Americans

Great feedback, team. Keep it up.

idk man "people in other countries hold all americans responsible for what this evil administration does" doesn't mean shit. like that's fantastic, many of us are terrified all the time and doing what we can to fight this with our limited resources, but i'm thrilled that it makes you feel righteous

He's one of my (coward) Senators and I called today and yelled at his voice mail because no staffers ever pick up the phone in the Office of Tillis. At least Budd's people answer the phone so I can express my displeasure in person.

Terrible restaurant could close unless people enthusiastically embrace bad food, complains chef.

I think there is some information in there that isn't familiar to a lot of people. Including that the US is currently holding three times as many people in immigration detention as were detained in the entire Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich.

HUGE NEWS for trans people: We have the latest minibus, including the bill to fund the Department of Health and Human Services and it looks like there are no restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender people. docs.house.gov/billsthiswee...

VERY important for US university professors because the semester is starting!!! If certain people come to your class asking for this information, you can send them away! (Ofc it is not guaranteed they will go away, but this is how it technically works.) #HigherEd #LFK #KU #Jayhawks

I second John’s recommendation

I often see people being like “why aren’t Americans in the streets” but like we are. Often. Are you just mad because things still suck? We are too that’s like one of the main things we’re mad about

just had my biweekly 4-hour phone call with my best friend who lives in Minneapolis and boy we screamed out a lot of cathartic rage but I did learn one useful fact I didn’t know! when a governor calls up their state’s national guard, it means the president then cannot federalize them

I am curious why these Danish researchers continue to be employed by their university. These seem to be extremely unethical people who should not be anywhere near research funds or projects.

For those of you following the Guinea-Bissau hepatitis B vaccine: The Danish researchers have posted their updated protocol (called version 1.5). They still propose giving a lifesaving vaccine to only half of newborns and withholding it from others. www.bandim.org/wp-content/u...

In light of Democrats calling for more "training" for ICE, this passage from my book Copaganda seems relevant:

per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”

ICE agents when a guy in a bathrobe standing out in -20 weather tells them to each shit

We have rain in Charlotte 😡

If people who are living in the midst of an invasion tell you that an action you are taking IS UNHELPFUL, the proper response is "thank you so much for letting me know. What would be helpful?" or You can just STFU and keep it moving. You don't have to have a public meltdown. It's OK.

Genius.

Finally got my copy. Thanks @uncpress.bsky.social

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start: www.standwithminnesota.com

I haven't seen the dunks but I will say that LOCAL CONDITIONS have to determine TACTICS. Folks, whistles are just a tactic and tactics vary according to context. Why waste time on this? If you've organized for 10 minutes, you know this is true. Keep it moving.

May I recommend Gastronauts to anyone wanting a cooking show that's irreverent and queer and kind all at once. Nice work Dropout.

Super-soakers truly a genius move. Nice work MPLS.
