I finally got confirmation that ICE agents have been getting paid this whole shutdown. Only people who’ve had guaranteed pay this whole time are the lawmakers responsible for the shutdown and kidnappers

Bumping this again for no particular reason.
Good piece. for the hundred millionth time I reiterate how many people have stories identical to this -- shame, repression, and self hate being liberated by developing a curiosity about sexual kink that teaches you to accept yourself, and how anti-porn laws "to protect children" threaten that.

ive found this to also be a learning disability thing as well. [ask question] -> 'you seriously have trouble with that?' / 'are you joking?' / 'i already went over this, are you even listening?' -> [ok then i wont ask questions] -> [errors] -> 'why didn't you ask for help?'
I think a lot of the neurodivergent experience is being punished for asking questions so we instead decide to infer meanings and intentions and patterns based on context and cues, but because we're neurotypical, that process is extremely prone to error. so we get punished for it anyway later.

history teaches us that liberals backed the fascists assuming they would bring the left wing under control.

i've often wondered "who could be so stupid, who would make such an obviously wrong political calculation and think they're being clever"

well...
this is punishment for electing Mamdani btw
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:

Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care

"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

We cannot let “haunted ICE agent regretfully explores his feelings/past/guilt” become a genre the way we did with every bad actor since the Confederates.
This is why they were in downtown Chicago today.

"one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"

Nuremberg Trials are the moderate stance

Every day in this country the poorest, least powerful, most vulnerable people make hard choices and sacrifices for the sake of their integrity and values, while everyone else, from wealthy elected officials to journalists, make this face 🥺 when asked to make any kind of stand for public good
