Heads up: ICE took a Brazilian trans woman in DC.

Her name is Alice Correia Barbosa.

No one has been able to find her.

If anyone hears anything at all, please DM me or reach out to OP on Reddit:

are you serious? you think obama didn’t sell his soul to a machine?
The reason people like Hakeem Jeffries can't stand people like Zohran Mamdani is the exact same reason people like the Clintons couldn't stand Obama when he first ran; he's showing them that you can win without selling your soul to a machine, and they resent him for it.

「スパイ防止法」
弾圧立法って?

「スパイ防止」の名で権力側が個人の内面に踏み込み、差別・排除しようという狙いは疑いようがありません

参政党だけでなく、国民民主党や日本維新の会も参院選公約で「スパイ防止法の制定」を掲げ、自民党も選挙終盤に法案導入に向け検討を進めると表明。これら諸党の危険な連携も予想されます

Appreciate the extreme subtlety of this attempt to re-write history.
Exclusive: The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History removed references to President Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit — an apparent change to its plans to update its collection of artifacts about the historic U.S. proceedings.

A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

the Institutions not even putting up a pretense of a fight and just giving in immediately because they pretty much agree
Trump got 49% of the vote and won tiny legislative minorities and the response of virtually every single elite law firm, elite university, huge company, and major journalistic outlet has been to surrender to him and start caving to his deranged demands to give him money and personal favors

It is so cool how seemingly everyone with any degree of prominence in the so-called opposition party is more interested in selling books than they are actually doing opposition.
What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story.

My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.

The reason that so many Americans are convinced they're stuck with this lesser evil duopoly system forever is the same reason they're the only western country without universal healthcare. An arrogant refusal to look at countries much much older than the US and (god forbid) learn something

Hillary & now Obama condemn mass starvation of Palestinians by Israel.

If opportunistic eels like Clinton/Obama are after nearly 2 yrs, finally saying it out loud the genocide has definitely entered a new phase.

Get ready for lots of toothless statements + performative BS from the “serious” crowd.

there is a widespread bipartisan belief in america that (1) if you’re criminalized you deserve it and (2) incarcerated people are unpeople who have no rights. people who enjoy this punishment being doled out by the state can’t be allowed to have a voice in the new society
Please read this first-person essay from Lanae Tipton, an incarcerated journalist in Texas with a desperate plea for air conditioning in prisons. She’s watched women seize on the floor from the heat. As one prison staffer said, “I vomited blood.”

two party system is a dialectical clusterfuck whose primary motivation is simply keeping itself on life support and whose secondary motivation is looting its constituency along the way
This is basically the part 2 of my last political post. This is why “lesser of two evils” is no longer an option, because the lesser evil is dependent on the greater one to stay in power. There is no actual interest in public servitude, they just want to hold the position. ALL masks have come off.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."

it is wild how many non-trans people seem to be taking an issue with this extremely correct thread: transphobia was an extreme minority position that was isolated to fringe reactionary christian conservatives, but through "liberal" publications laundering bigoted talking points it became accepted
There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

Reality is now so internet poisoned you cannot say true things without appearing insane. “The New York Times ran a hit piece on Zohran purely so a minor race science blogger could place insider trades on Polymarket” sounds like you are a schizophrenic but it is straightforwardly factual!
