Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

I got this plant from @goddessburstall.bsky.social back in 2008, two rounds of cat attacks over the years left just one little sprig, I think it is finally gone (this last little bit did ok for a couple of years)

If you aren't paying attention to what is happening in Illinois/Chicago, you're missing out on Bovino and federal agents using tear gas, pepper balls, and force against the people.

if you think that’s what’s keeping left-leaning political takes from being seen on Twitter is that they aren’t being posted rather that they are being actively suppressed by the site’s white supremacist owner, you are either too dumb or too dishonest to listen to, even on Bluesky

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

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.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

If anyone needs a video game distraction Outer Wilds is just a fantastic story driven mystery/puzzle/exploration game — gives me Myst/Portal/Stray vibes. You want to go in cold with minimal expectations for the best experience.
It is a game you can only play once and that rewards curiosity.
