Wait uh if you watch through to the end of the clip THEY TRIED TO BUY TACOS FROM A SHOP WHERE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY KIDNAPPED A WORKER, WHO IS STILL DETAINED
I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

It just feels like everything is being flattened. Rape, genocide, wildfires, etc etc is all just fodder for internet discourse rather than turning points that lead to… something, anything better or different.
It’s so true. It’s actually horrifying to see the memes and jokes about this.

ICYMI: We love Priyanka Champaneri's story about the agonies and ecstasies of community, as exemplified by a well-meaning but single-minded neighboring auntie. Check it out before it hits the archives! @splitlipthemag.bsky.social
"His eyes land on the glinting stickers. I hand him the drawing, and as he stares at the waxy swirls, I wonder what he sees."

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry.

My friends, my loves, my dears.

Don't start.

JOIN.

These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed
I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.
The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

This story is a great one to teach as an example of how to build emotional resonance by making excellent use of restraint. It’s a multi-layered story that satisfies on so many levels.
"Whenever I visit, my mother tells me to eat more and asks how I have been sleeping, and my father asks about Habiba. Sometimes I complain, but my father finds it funny."
