“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…”
So good!! 🔥

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”
No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

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...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

So, Chicago, it's your turn now and man, I am so so sorry. Nobody should have to go through this. This is awful. This is fascism. Organize. Step up. Don't think other people will do it -- the might, maybe even they will, but they need you, too. Be like LA -- be sand in their gears. 9/

For every outlier success in this space there are literally thousands of other games that do not come close.
Listen, anytime someone says "all you have to do is..." with a complex problem you can bet it's not even close to being all you have to do.

SUPER COOL TIME TO BE THE CITIZEN CHILD OF NON CITIZENS WHO IS HAVING A BABY
as for the upshot of the decision, the republican court has put the citizen children of non-citizens in a position similar to that of free blacks during the antebellum period. their right to enjoy the privileges and immunities of american citizenship will vary according to state borders

Arresting and threatening to deport students because of their participation in political protest is the kind of action one ordinarily associates with the world’s most repressive regimes. It’s genuinely shocking that this appears to be what’s going on right here. 1/

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

What an incredible Overwatch showcase. So ridiculously hyped and almost overwhelmed by the end. I've been worried for a while wondering about the vision for Overwatch's future, but they're swinging for the fences
Mutations will be wild fun
heroes+skins look sick (flying sniper? LFG!)

AOC is one of a small handful of people in the Democratic Party who understands how to talk like an actual human who is passionate about her ideals and principles.
The right paints her as a scary person but I'd bet that pretty much every single one of her policy ideas would have majority support.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

What's fascinating about the need to say this, for me, is that this is how I *always* used Twitter. I've only ever been interested in interacting with microblogging in the context of 100-200 people whose posts I will read every day in chronological order. Algos can fall in a well and get stuck.
A few notes on Bluesky: there’s no algorithm here. You do not need to post a big list of your interests to be sorted into the correct part of the site. What you see in your feed is a direct reflection of who you follow. Make you me choices accordingly.
