Meet Yaa’kub Ira Vijandre. He’s the US’ latest political prisoner.

His detention is designed to send the message that anything noncitizens post in support of disfavored causes can be labeled a deportable threat to national security.
ICE Caged This Man For His Instagram Posts And Likes
New details about Yaa'kub Ira Vijandre's detention show his posts supporting Palestine and the wrongfully convicted representing, in Homeland Security's eyes, support for terrorism

People who are scared of big cities have it backward. The closer you are to your neighbors the better you are at seeing them as human. The people who are scared of “random shootings” in the cities are also sniping lost teens in their driveways in the exurbs.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.
Cleaning worker who mistakenly went to wrong home fatally shot: Police
The shooting victim died from a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office said.

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.

He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

"I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller."

An index card with handwriting in blue ink that says, "'I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller.'" Below is the source, "The Private Papers of a Bankrupt Bookseller" by Will J. Darling (Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd, 1932).

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said
Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison. “If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6,

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.
A screenshot of a social-media post. At the top, a user’s profile photo and name are shown with a verified checkmark. The post text reads, “It took a bit of time but we didn’t miss!” Below it is another embedded post from a different user, also verified, dated August 9, 2024. The embedded post reads, “If you come for the Queen, you best not miss!” followed by emojis. The photo in the embedded post shows a boxer in a red athletic uniform with a flag patch on the chest. The athlete stands in a boxing ring, looking serious and saluting with one hand. They have braided hair pulled back and wrapped hands. A screenshot of a social-media post by a verified account. The text of the post criticizes male athletes competing in women’s sports and calls for medals to be stripped. Below the text are two side-by-side photos. The photo on the left shows a boxer on a podium wearing a white jacket and holding a gold medal with one hand placed over their chest. The photo on the right shows another athlete wearing a white jacket holding up a gold medal and a tall award box. Both images appear to be from medal ceremonies at a sporting event.

Happy anniversary to this gem 💀

In 2020 me & a bunch of people online were making jokes about antifa liberating the animals at the pdx zoo. I ended up even posting a live thread from the fake zoo riot including animal chants and all which resulted in this far right streamer calling the police 😂

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.
