“ICE agents’ tactics often seem to be modeled off what they’ve seen in movies or imbibed via TV shows or video games...ICE agents aren’t moving with a tactical focus; they’re doing what they think will look cool and intimidating in photographs.”

Wife: Hey, babe. Wake up. You’re thrashing around, I think you’re having a bad dream.
Me: It’s not a dream! I’ve got to take this healing potion from the apothecary goose to A’ja Wilson before the Portal of Doom opens and—hang on. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Thank you for waking me up.

This is exactly why I've been watching a lil BL or GL almost every night for the past six years. Gentle queer stories with HEAs, or as I have said all along: romance novels on my tv.
I am so tired of seeing all the silly takes and absurd questions about why people love Heated Rivalry. You love it because Romance, as a genre, is freaking awesome — and it's especially important for gay people, who usually have to watch TV braced for impact. bit.ly/4a2tHJT
You Love Heated Rivalry Because Romance Is Awesome, Actually
Gay people usually watch TV braced for impact — but not when it's adapted from romance novels.

One of the worst things about Long COVID is that stress makes your symptoms flare like heck and symptom flares make you more stressed which makes you flare more which makes you more stressed!

This is some of the best reporting I've read in years.
Metrodora, a Utah-based clinic that sought to cure “neuroimmune disorders” like #LongCOVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis, promised comprehensive treatment — but within two years, it abruptly closed, leaving former patients feeling betrayed. Read more from @brittashoot.com: bit.ly/46iIGOy

As if we aren’t already on every kind of government list from all the info Meta, Apple, Microsoft, etc. have turned over to the govt. We’ve been living in fascist surveillance culture for years. Anyway I’ll send an 8K video they can put up in Times Square with ICE ENEMY on it, I don’t give a fuck.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that we get rid of Miller. His race war fantasies have informed the vision behind the federal assaults on US cities, as I discussed here.
My latest: How Renee Good's murder and paramilitary assaults on US cities reflect longstanding right-wing race war fantasies and Stephen Miller's fixation with a novel about white genocide. I also talk about the stories we tell and live in opposition to these narratives and share a must-reads list.
Choosing Each Other in a Time of Terror
Rather than being disbanded or intimidated by Good’s murder, the people of Minneapolis have been galvanized, escalating their resistance and refusing to retreat from the work of protecting one another...

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

To you it will be a rematch of the 2015 Super Bowl where the Patriots intercepted the Seahawks’ almost-game-winning touchdown on the one-yard line with no time on the clock. To me it will be a rematch of that Super Bowl where Katy Perry’s shark dancer went rogue at halftime. We are not the same.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
