Man, it’s wild that normal people just go to work every day while the people who run everything meticulously document their sex crimes

Remember, the difference between gender ale and gender lager is in the fermentation style: gender ale is a top, whereas gender lager is a bottom

They've given the literal dumbest guys in America a military arsenal, a blank check, and immunity to do whatever they want. How fucking stupid do you have to be to break into a consulate?

ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone
They did not have a warrant

in the words of ICE agents themselves, “boo hoo”
Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports
While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ‘disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to reports

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I truly, truly get it why a lot of good people are saying that Minneapolis is not about left or right, democrats or republican, now. I understand. But I’m sorry it actually is

When you pointed out that it looked like a duck, they called you hysterical.
When you pointed out that it also swam like a duck, they said sheesh Bluesky is such an echo chamber.
When you said and now it's really quacking a lot like a duck, they accused you of relativizing earlier ducks.

What a relief that they’re calling for a general de-escalation of tensions, since it’s hard to tell who’s at fault, the people murdering people or the people who aren’t doing the murdering.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

I don't think the US is the ethically worst country to host the World Cup but it actually is likely the most dangerous for fans to travel to. Sportswashing regimes at least have incentive to treat sports fans well - the US on the other hand is addicted to performative cruelty to travelers!

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.
I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.
"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."
