my dad has taken up baking in retirement and, realizing he didn’t know his neighbors, started going door to door with fresh bread. he’s made tons of friends. a music producer who now invites him over to listen to old records. a guy in the final stages of a terminal illness who isn’t alone anymore.

ICYMI i made a scraper for ICE detention facilities, and it cross checks with Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap to see if the facilities have solid entries on those services. Figured this could help everyone interested in the general subject.

This is a very important point one that is only underlined by the approach of the moderate centrists and their continuing push for a return to the brutal neoliberal status quo that birthed Trump and maga.
The neoliberals would rather stay tethered to the ground instead of shooting for the stars.

I hope one thing leftists all take away from Mamdani’s campaign though is that it doesn’t matter how chill and wholesome you are, the dinguses are going to smear and trash you in increasingly unhinged ways anyway, so you might as well shoot for the moon and campaign on what makes your heart sing

The core precept of conservatism is that there are those the law binds but does not protect, and those that the law protects but does not bind.
UPDATE: Tennessee Republican state Senator Ken Yager, who made national news for his hit-and-run DUI in Georgia where he pissed his pants during his sobriety test… just got let off with “supervised probation”
He is still the chair of the TN Senate GOP caucus 😕

Try to imagine the graft and corruption that's going to be happening at DHS over the next couple of years. Nobody will be accountable. It's going to be a fascist candy store.

A pastor participated in anti-ICE protests in his community. The next day, the local police department began using his church’s parking lot as a staging ground. He doesn’t think it’s a coincidence.

The BBC having Bob Vylan as their headline news item and placing what the IOF are actually doing in Gaza as their third news item down the bulletin is a perfect portrayal of the hysteria surrounding antisemitism allegations and how the media have watered down the word.
