The pivot from "Mamdani is a political genius for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" to "Schumer is a political moron for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" is odd.

"Just like the first woman in a lab […] meant representation for future women in science, an autistic Barbie where there had been no autistic dolls before can mean a lot to Barbie-interested autistic people." @ejwillingham.bsky.social in the latest TPGA newsletter:

Autistic Barbie met with joy, controversy
Do all autistic people interested in Barbie look like this doll or wear headphones or use an AAC device? No. But it is an important social statement on a global stage.

Every Dem in Congress needs to be saying this, and making it clear that failure to act on it by Vance and others is impeachable incompetence.
If they let Republicans eventually lead the charge on this, they will sacrifice the argument that the entire GOP is complicit.

DHS said in October that "comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences."

After I found one of their lawyers for ICE is a racist and a self-described fascist who has praised Hitler, there have been no consequences.
These type of threats against our brave ICE law enforcement officers and their families are disgusting. These officers risk their lives every day to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists, and gang members from our communities. Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "The men and women of ICE and CBP are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop."

Supplements, diets, herbals, & acupuncture, oh my—none of them are useful for autistic people. That’s according to an analysis of 53 already extended analyses of “complementary & alternative medicine” (CAIM) interventions for autistics. Per @ejwillingham.bsky.social:

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

Hey Bluesky, do you enjoy reading about
-dilapidated amusement parks?
-bizarre animatronics?
-psychedelic dark rides?
-cults?
-friendship and sisterhood?

If so, you might enjoy my book The Merry Dredgers. If you'd like to learn more, here's a review by Gabino Iglesias:

Here's a lovely image of the cover of my book The Merry Dredgers, which shows a falling princess in a pink silhouette. There's a black and white carnival tent in the background. Also, behind the cover is an image of the merry-go-round in the book, featuring winged rabbits. On the merry-go-round is the word Goblintropolis.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

Hi #PortfolioDay

I'm Jeremy, your friendly neighborhood horror writer and fabric artist. I design and hand-sew weird little guys and weird little bags. For most of my life I thought a pony was a baby horse.

www.patreon.com/jeremycreature
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background. Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art Krampus and Santa with two fabric art, hand-embroidered trees in the background. The trees are embroidered with red flowers, yellow stars, and white snowflake arms. Krampus has a handmade bundle of sticks and a chain. There's a galaxy print fabric in the background. Here's a lovely photo of Jasper. He's a black fabric art moth with a gray face and seven red eyes. He has a small open mouth with two sharp teeth on the top and three slightly larger sharp teeth on the bottom. He's covered with red embroidered flowers with gray lines around them. Short red lines and gray points and other folk art looking markings cover his body. He his twirly black antennae covered with short red lines all in a row. There's green fur in the background of the pic. Here's a lovely photo of my green baseball cap. I've embroidered a bunch of red flowers with yellow centers, and another plant with green stems and a heck load of tiny pink blossoms. We can also see Pinkeye. She's a furry green puppet with a pointy pink tongue and pink bulbous eyes. She has two clusters of thin brown feathers popping up behind her eyes.

Steven catches a federal prosecutor for ICE, who missed work temporarily after he was caught, by Steven, fantasizing about owning slaves, et similia, et cetera, now back on the job a year later.

And here he is doing presumably some important stuff.

Post by Molly Knight Gen X is at +5 support for ICE while millennials are at -25. Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?
