More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

It is a scientifically proven fact that the quality of a Guinness is always inversely proportional to the distance you are from Dublin

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

cleaning up some old stuff on my phone and back on 9/23/22, I guess I had “Eleanor Rigby” on the brain

Fuck. This is my hometown.

a real "people in the south who vote for trump are racists, people on the court and in the administration and are my buddies at the congressional cafeteria who use their position and power to enact and empower trump's horrifying policies are Very Serious People Who Care About Law And Rights"

I think this reply nails the generalized world view of folks like this and explain everything from the Kissinger take to even how quickly much of the media started writing hagiographies of Charlie Kirk. bsky.app/profile/stah...

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

I'm incredibly disappointed. "Inconclusive" is a lie. The medical community has absolutely drawn conclusions here: that Tylenol use during pregnancy is safe and not a contributing factor of autism. It's also deceptive to not put the focus on how RFK's lies are intentional and harmful.

NEW in Bolts: A bill expanding post-conviction relief for survivors of intimate partner violence failed to clear the California Senate by the end of the state's legislative session this month.

I didn't know it was Independence Day for Mali. 65 years.

Reminder again that adding 4 justices to SCOTUS to match the number of federal circuits is the *moderate* option and we should really be considering more radical reforms to restructure and rein in SCOTUS to reduce the lottery winner takes all effect on the law.

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

I often think how among all the other things it is against, fascism (and its attendant authoritarianisms and make-believes) is fundamentally a war against complexity—against the inherent complexity and multiplicity of the universe and social reality—and against any efforts to understand them as such

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

waow

We need to find the cause or causes. We need a cure. I don't want my child to live with this. If it can even be called "living"? That's right, my child has… RFK Jr as HHS Sec'y and DJT as President.

It’s nice that Jimmy Kimmel is going to be let back on air. But be aware this is appeasement. Maya Angelou said, “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” Disney showed us who they are.

Very glad to once again be personally choosing not to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live instead of the government forcing that decision on me

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

A defunct bridge near Osburn, Idaho, has been repurposed as a wildlife crossing over busy Interstate 90. buff.ly/I1U00bT

LOL oh wow the anti-vaxxers are mad that RFK Jr is saying Tylenol causes autism instead of vaccines. “We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer.”

I'd love to read a book that critically explores the inextricable entanglement of white supremacy and the automobile in America; and their further entanglement with manifesting the Apocalyptic, including everything from climate warlordism to manufactured suburban blight

my body, at each menstrual cycle hormone shift: 😡 the punishment for CHANGE is a migraine! my gyno, when I get hot flashes: try estrogen BC. skip the placebos, since hormone shifts give you migraines my body, 28 days later: WHERE IS MY BELOVED CHANGE? 🤬 I curse you with 🌩️MEGA MIGRAINE🌩️

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

Heard the jerk store was just bought by private equity. Guess I better purchase more of you before they declare bankruptcy in 6 months

When you have to have some sort of procedure and a part of your body is described as “grossly normal” it’s pretty offensive. Like fuck you, that’s so rude, my gallbladder is tight as fuck. Don’t talk shit, just look at my viscera and synthesize the results, idiot.

That tracks

Maybe instead of murdering people in Venezuela who may or may not be drug runners, why don't we just end the absurd war on drugs which has done nothing except line the pockets of the military and prison industrial complexes. Oh, I see. Never mind.

I start my new job in two weeks on October 6. It’s a year-long contract (fully remote) for $180k, which works for me b/c it gets me exactly what I need & allows me to accomplish a helluva lot. Also, a reminder: if you’re a Black software engineer, DM me b/c they’re still recruiting to fill spots.

Emphasizing this excellent point: speaking only positively of any health condition isolates people who are really suffering. Even if it isn’t a policy, discouraging people from talking honestly about conditions, treatment, etc endangers people at the highest risk to protect people from discomfort.

the worst is when you get that cross with the one wonky wheel so it just goes all over the place and don't get me started on people who leave their crosses in a parking space and don't take them back to the cross corral

kind of want to send Patty and Wanda my book tbh. neither of them are still teaching or live in my hometown anymore but I feel like. they would appreciate it. because I was never able to say it when I was a kid and I think my book says it

The Narcissist's Prayer That didn't happen. if it did, it wasn't that bad. if it was, that's not a big deal. if it is, that's not my fault. if it was, I didn't mean it. if I did, you deserved it. <- we are here

Time and time again it's been demonstrated that the liberal's primary objection to fascism is not that it is monstrous, but merely that it is rude.

President Trump horrifies the audience with an impression of Charlie Kirk dying. The audio has been cut by arena staff. We will return to coverage when the impression ends. #WeAreAllChappie
