Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.

It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

ICE agents in Colorado have been leaving ace of spades cards behind when they detain someone, a psychological warfare technique the United States Armed Forces used against its mortal enemies during the Vietnam War.

If you do not think Donald Trump is at war with his country, think again.

Periodic reminder that there is nothing you can give the far right that will satisfy them.

Remove a right, they’ll go after another. Attack a minority, they’ll want worse attacks and find new groups to attack.

There’s no end to the authoritarianism. Just more, and worse, until everyone’s crushed.

A few days ago, I read a post from someone who has a linktree link in their profile to a Googledrive full of excellent AuDHD related scholarly papers. Someone interrupted me as I was looking at it and I lost it forever! Please help, good peeple of Bluesky!! #audhdresearch #audhdthreads #audhdcontent

To the people who keep commenting on my posts saying "everyone is autistic now"... no, everyone is definitely not autistic now. But if that's what you think, it's probably because you're either autistic yourself and the way you're consuming content is telling the algorithm that...

Ravens have 17 primary wing feathers, called pinions. Crows have 16 primary wing feathers.

So the difference between ravens and crows is a matter of a pinion.

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like.

And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one.

This is genius and I always want to hear the funk version played instead now.
I have this weird thing where I like the song Watermelon Sugar but I want to hear it sung by anyone but Harry Styles and in any style other than the one Harry is known for. Not because I have anything against him or pop but because I know that song was meant to be in a different genre. For instance:

Ah yes. Welcome to my world.
Them: autistic people are loners and have difficulty making friends

Me: enjoys the quiet/calm, can enjoy being with people if the environment isn’t overwhelming, has difficulty finding people who understand/appreciate me, but when I do, they are my people forever

Somehow it always seems to come down to "blame people for being neurodivergent", rather than "fund a system which provides decent diagnosis and support". Btw, a lot of that money goes into helping neurodivergent individuals function in this world, and therefore able to work. Without it more can't.
