Blessed Ash Wednesday! Forgot to post yesterday that I’ll be mostly fasting from social media this Lent, save for Sundays, feast days, and if big news (ie: the Thing Happens). Please direct any urgent inquiries to my discord or my gf @ofvick.bsky.social and a good Lent or Ramadan to those observing!

Going back in time to prevent the Gwen-Eric breakup at all costs. Tragic Kingdom will probably not be as good, but small prices and all
it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now

Cursed timeline. The KGB's First Chief Directorate played the long game and ensured posthumous victory by 1) putting the Main Adversary under the control of an asset, and 2) making its regime into a tragicomical parody spectacle of late-stage Soviet politics
oh my goodness they're now playing Trump propaganda videos 2 hours deep in this "Board of Peace" meeting

Let me explain what this genuinely EVIL memo does. The admin is doubling down on its plan to arrest, detain, and interrogate tens of thousands of legally present refugees; people already vetted who’ve lived here legally for 1+ year.

Hundreds were arrested in Minnesota before a court blocked this.

A development as unexpected and surprising to me as the Pope elected in 2013 turning out to be a liberal is that Charles III seems good at being King.
King Charles has issued a statement following his brother Andrew’s arrest

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

another for the file of "maga people attacking the weakest person in any given group"
MAGA man jumps out of his truck to assault teen girl at anti-ICE protest—classmates defend her and beat him off.

Students who had been peacefully protesting started punching back at the man—saving girl from the full grown adult.

Yglesias has, for many years now, simply refused to accept that these are not reforms being pushed by the Left, they are massive, ongoing intrusions into the private sphere by the Right which liberals oppose because they are, practically speaking, unworkable and incoherent to actually implement.
Like this. "You must strategically abandon the specific issues that the right has rendered toxic & focus on others."

But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

I went to DC with a bunch of Minnesotans who are asking Congress to defund ICE, and to make sure what happened here doesn’t happen anywhere else.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

"i visited the potemkin-village prison with the girlboss warden, and everything was real chill. except for the one guy who said they have a torture hole and they're gonna throw him in the tortue hole for telling us about the torture hole. shrug, maybe i'll look into it later."
How is this even possible? Rep. Haley Stevens, who is running for #MISen, "seemed generally impressed with the staff" at an ICE detention facility, per the @michiganadvance.com.

At the same event, Rep. Hillary Scholten spoke of a man "being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes."

you could opt out of caring about the Trump Show last time. the institutions were still puttering along and the ACA repeal collapsed.

there is no such option for Trump II, you are trapped in here with the rest of us

the skeleton key here is that the entire country is experiencing what liberals and leftists did in 2017-2021
Literally millions of people voted for the imaginary Trump in their heads and are extremely upset that they got Actually Existing Trump, because they're dumb motherfuckers rather than truly depraved monsters.
it has never been more over.
