When we finally boot this regime out of our Whitehouse, ICE needs to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity, and be completely dismantled. They provide no valuable service to society at all.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.
After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

I try really hard not to fall into conspiracy theories. I really do. But I would not be surprised if we learn in 20 years that the CIA ran a psy-op in the 2010s to render the phrases "Geneva convention" and "war crimes" meaningless among Gen Z.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

this is straightforwardly concentration camp stuff.
just in very plain terms: we send people to camps now if we, the government, deem it necessary, without due process. you can file a habeas petition in the united states district court with jurisdiction over el salvador, i guess.

Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

I'm in my forties and I still live with the illusion that one day I'll wake up feeling like a real adult.
I keep thinking there's an adultier adult somewhere nearby, then I realize everyone's looking at ME.
And I'm sixteen autistic raccoons in clown shoes.

I’m gonna start gifting New York Times home delivery subscriptions. I know reading the paper isn’t some revolutionary concept… but I will say since subscribing I’m reading more on topics I would’ve never thought to look at AND eating better without having to figure out what to cook every night.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Starting today I’m also boycotting every single company I see pop up as an ad that looks like a message in Snapchat. We need to program a NEGATIVE reaction to invasive ad practices so their data shows them they don’t work. DONT CLICK IT.

As a retired virologist, I am so appalled at the RFK jr confirmation I am at a loss for words. Honestly, with all of this. He's an antivaxxer & HIV/AIDS denier. So here's a Valentine's Day colored Polio virus built from crystallography data, since you'll be seeing both of those again real soon

I do think it’s funny when the car companies are like “we may be divided but now more than ever, I think we can all agree: car ❤️”

Unless it’s a cybertruck… I feel like we can all agree those are fair game
This is not a protest—it’s a crime against private citizens, and no one should support this madness.
There are better ways to fight back against Elon Musk.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

You say: they shutdown USAID.
You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.
