really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

Unconscionable. I'm so fucking angry every minute of every single day.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Save PEPFAR to Save Lives! Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

what the hell is weird about an apple cider doughnut also they don't own them

Advocates warn restrictions could disrupt treatment for thousands relying on HIV medication aid. buff.ly/CFOMuZY

great list, but justice for sabotage/live which is up there with at least slow dazzle for me

i think this is bad and i think this is bad everywhere and that is enough to want it to stop and i also think the more the US does this the more the odds increase that “everywhere” includes here, if for some reason the “it shouldn’t happen somewhere else” is an insufficient case for some losers

elected democrats need to get with the fucking program

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

fuck this stupid guy. i'm never voting for him

this sounds more like a guy doing a bad trump impression than anything else. i think anyone who thinks this is actually him is a mark

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

yippee!!

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

The man is the #1 public health menace in the United States. Measles comes in second place. At least measles can’t destroy the entire vaccine effort in the United States. RFK Jr can and is doing so.

"Because TB is a disease of the poorest people in the poorest places, the systems to diagnose and care for them remain antiquated" @stephanienolen.bsky.social reports on the ground realities from Cameroon www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/h...

the depravity has no limit

girl what

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

jesus fucking christ

The only acceptable number of children for any government to kidnap and traffic and cage is zero, every year

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.

the best movie

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

it’s good to see markey and warren here. totally shameful that @whipkclark.bsky.social voted yes

this is incredible

there’s no reason to cede even one inch to xenophobia. democrats should, as a party, make an affirmative case for why immigration is good for america. i had a sense they were doing this during trump 1 and then through the biden admin they were just dickmeasuring over “being serious about the border”

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

i’ve had an abolish ice laptop sticker since 2018 #real

"erm we can't get a conviction." fucking arrest the guy. perp walk him as a spectacle to make sure his name and face are broadcast around the world. make them fight his way out of jail. be so loud and obnoxious about it that it plants that seed of doubt in every ICE agent's head

“everything in you’re life is more expensive and Trump doesn’t give a shit” is a good message in the abstract and actually does apply in a lot of situations but you cannot stick literally every single thing that happens - such as the end of 80 years of American relations with Europe - into that box

what’s wrong with you fr

i didn't do this on purpose

shut the fuck up you fucking morons. we should be opposed to starting pointless wars for nakedly imperialistic ends

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

Please read this & speak out. Understand how relatively modest US investments in health systems and commodities can stem an unspeakable burden of suffering.

people mock the excesses of 2010s SJ activism without acknowledging they were basically right about everything

If you are banning Doctors without Borders, you are by no means the "good guy" in the situation. www.huffpost.com/entry/israel...

oh GREAT they're fucking the postal service up just in time for end-of-year deadlines

I appreciate folks following the breadcrumb trail and not trying to jump to conclusions, but I’m not bound by those rules and I think “a media toady nuking a story about American concentration camps” is pretty self-explanatory

there's no such thing as a "heritage american" and brain-damaged constitutional law professors and members of the vox cinematic universe treating it with respect is bad, and they should be berated borders are fake, and america is what it is in the best sense due to periodically recognizing that

abolishing ice is the moderate position
