Nothing I like doing is valued by society. Anything valued by society that I'm capable of doing makes me want to fall into an infinite hole of nothingness.

State police assisted ICE in the performative brutalization and arrest of protesters today. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must answer for this.
A protester tackled and arrested by state police for trying to block an ICE vehicle.

I caught a leaf on the wind while running this afternoon. Felt like nature gave me a little high five.

The one I took to the face felt...less supportive.

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

My teeth hurt, but if I get up from doomscrolling for one second to get ibuprofen, I might miss something. A real conundrum.

This! I think the opposite of fascism isn’t “normal,” it’s taking joy in weirdness
As a former Portlander myself, love that its motto is Keep Portland Weird. An essential part of fascism's project is to tell all of us how to look, whom to love, what to say, how to dress. Fuck that. Portland is too fabulous for fascism.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
For the last couple of years much of the media has had the most incredible unwillingness to learn literally anything about JD Vance. Never seen anything like it. Active resistance to learning anything about his ideas.
jesus man, tell me you have no idea who Claremont is or JD Vance's record as a postliberal
