Hey liberals and leftists: ultra-conservativism, i.e. fascism, thrives on the dehumanization of other human beings. If you dehumanize anyone, ANYONE, then you're behaving more like an ultra-conservative than a liberal or a leftist. You should know better.

Hi. I'm a GenX AuDHDer. I'm agender, light-grayromantic, dark-graysexual, a parent, a grandparent. Yes, you can be on the asexual spectrum and still have a family. Life is complicated. Also, I'm disabled.

Guess being anti-capitalist and anti-fascist means I'm one of the "enemies from within" now. 🙃

This article does not take into consideration the fecklessness of the Garland DOJ and makes yet another argument for the "rights of the innocent" as if people in Epstein's orbit are "innocent"
vox.com Vox @vox.com · 1d
"There is danger, however, in requiring the Justice Department to reveal the fruits of a criminal investigation — even in a case as compelling and as egregious as Epstein’s," writes @imillhiser.bsky.social.

Here's why 👇
The case against releasing the Epstein files
DOJ has strong norms against releasing information outside of a criminal trial, and for good reasons.

A fun thing buried in this story: This comes the same day that AG Rayfield announced a settlement deal in a lawsuit against a major property mgmt company for "price fixing" by relying on RealPage.

The second is the first hearing on new fees for people who lease buildings to detention centers in Portland. (That one may bring some unexpected criticism from anti-ICE protesters, who say it isn't going far enough.) Background: www.opb.org/article/2025...
Portland councilors will mull policy that would target property owners who lease to detention centers
Portland City Council will consider new sanctions against a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building, which has been the focus of monthslong demonstrations, recent land use debates and severa...

my friends in LA & I have been talking about this a lot—about how it seems that LA has been forgotten, even as we face some of the worst kidnappings we’ve seen all year
Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?

Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.
The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.

People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

If anyone in So Cal can help, even for a day, please help. Volunteers on the ground helping our fellow men and women are being spread thin, which is exactly what this terrorist regime wants. Please help if you can.

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.

The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

ICE abducted two day laborers as they were walking into a local Ralph's today. I was interviewing staff and they were shook up; one seemed like he might even have been in shock. One said they had no idea this was happening here at all, but there have been dozens in the last week or two.

Local independent outlets like @lataco.bsky.social have been doing great work covering the ICE raids, but absent a) strong opposition from elected officials, b) acknowledgement from @mayor.lacity.gov, and c) more mainstream coverage, people will continue to be at risk.
