The absolute gall of these cowardly Northwestern fucks to come crawling to alumni for money after paying a bribe to the Nazis and sacrificing trans healthcare. The fucking temerity.
Get back to me when you’ve fired the board and the president and repudiated the agreement. Until then, eat shit.

I’d pay an extra tax for Thiel to fuck off forever.
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving

The thing about the East Bay is that I fucking love it. The home you choose, yknow?
I love the east Bay Area. People of different races and religions live and work together to build the American Dream. We in liberal society take this for granted but the national rise of extremism stemming from online content seeks to take this away from us.

Massive congratulations are owed to the folks at @tvrr.bsky.social for their work on International Boulevard.
It is *unquestionable* that their advocacy has saved multiple lives, something not many people can say.

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

This is a startling read of history & precedent. He has a lot to distinguish. But for him, Supreme Court precedent isn't very relevant when its not tied to originalist reasoning? & the Alien & Sedition Acts are *positive* evidence for how to interpret the 1st Am? Bring back seditious libel, anyone?

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.
