One of those they/thems you hear about. Here for wacky hijinks.
Politicians: Political violence is always wrong when civilians do it. Political violence is actually super necessary and helpful when the government does it.

At least 82 Palestinians were also murdered yesterday, but I am deeply saddened that I can’t tell you all of their names or about their dreams that will never be realized. Maybe if fewer journalists were killed. I can’t even tell you if their murderer will face swift justice or just receive $2B.

They gutted Americorps so my community clinic immediately lost our Americorps staff, so we will now have to cut community programming like healthy eating groups for diabetes and heart health management. What a time to work in healthcare.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Absolutely outrageous, short-sighted, and politically vindictive. Didn’t the VP Couch Vance say that universities are the enemy? @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social what’s our response?
NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Looking at people who are protesting a livestreamed genocide as the enemy instead of the billionaire currently stealing your social security number is a weird energy to take into 2025, but at least you can be smug in front of your Harris/Walz bumper stick & tell other oppressed ppl I told you so

Ezri once told Worf, "The Klingon Empire is dying, and I think it deserves to die … I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example."
Later that day, Worf killed Gowron.
