![KABAS: So many comparisons have made between the current state of US immigration terror and Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and I've seen some say that kind of seeks to absolve this country of its own history of racial terror and genocide. In the hearings this week with ICE and CBP and USCIS, you said you have “no respect for inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol.” How did it feel to publicly and explicitly draw that connection?
REP. RAMIREZ: I knew that I was going to make them very uncomfortable. I'm not talking about just the DHS directors there—I meant my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. And I say this often, ‘Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s the willingness to act despite the fear.’ I'm a little scared [in that moment], because if I'm being blunt with you, every time I speak there's a death threat. And yet I thought it was so important, as a daughter of immigrants, as a proud representative of Illinois-3, as someone who has been calling out what they do, to be able to look evil in the eye and call them what they are.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreieyek3u7oka3cei3fdsxn2u7wyxj64s6uxl5kk7dx5zuu3wqr4vue@jpeg)

yes, i know covers of 90s music are allowed, but why in the world would you skate -- or do anything else -- to AI-generated music? you could always just, i don't know, find an actual banger from the '90s, or a good cover of a banger from the '90s? just a thought.

apparently the best way to get me to turn on Olympic ice dancing is to mandate everyone to perform their rhythm dance to '90s music.

Most people experienced the fall of the Roman Empire as: “One day a bridge collapsed, and no one came to fix it.”

back in high school i definitely wrote a quote from Slide on a valentine i gave to a high school crush. pretty sure i did the same thing in college, too. i got nowhere.
"I had a crush on a girl who worked in the deli department, whose name is a secret to everyone but me, and I did not know what to do with myself because of it."

i'd only change one thing about olympic curling and it is that a team must complete 2 beers per person by the 7th end, though the team can choose whether how it will be divided, from a 2x4 to an 8x1 "workhorse" beerskip.

"Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back" by Meat Loaf. it's bombastic in that Steinman/Meat Loaf way, and also just a fantastic song for blowing off steam when everything sucks.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)
