A mother of 8 was sexually abused by an ICE officer.

She went public with the abuse, and was deported the very next day.

Her lawyer says she had a stay on her deportation order

They disappeared her so she couldn’t speak out.

Silvia Reyna Mendoza deserves justice.

ICE should be abolished.

Sure and there’s already been a boycott for the last two years so y’all shouldn’t have been drinking it yesterday either.
RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

It will always be incredible when history is written that Trump attempted a coup d'etat and then was given the keys to the entire government a mere 4 years later.

Saw some comments about SNAP as a “bridge not a lifestyle” and “people abusing the system” 🤬 I don’t give a flying flip about how long someone is on SNAP. Who the hell cares? Feed the hungry end of story

Bezos sure took a tumble didn’t he
The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

It’s POTS awareness day—a blood flow problem common after Covid.

POTS can be subtle—I often wonder how many people who feel rundown, anxious or distracted have this treatable condition.

Main criteria is heart rate going up >30bpm when going from laying down to standing—smthg you can check at home!

One thing I loathe about Charmed is how halfway through the show they completely forget Piper can freeze and then also completely forget Phoebe is an empath. How do you forget the powers of the witches in a show about witches???

I think Brian points to something important: pop culture representations of Nazism showed it as something existing outside of history and politics, which did a massive disservice to understanding it as a political force that could emerge in other polities.
Not to be Zizek, lol, but I had the misfortune of watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier on a plane once, it makes me realize Americans have this imagination of fascism taking over institutions that turned out to be true but the grasp of fascism is curiously ideology-less
