If this gets you angry, then you should know: our country is doing this to undocumented children every day & has been for years.

We take toddlers, feed them dirty water, & put them in places where the lights never go out. We take teenagers and house them in crowded, too cold or too hot rooms.

It is officially time for the Democratic Party to stop wasting money on their out of touch consultant class, and start paying for insights from Bluesky posters named "<--- kill me" and "Kicked In The Farm Parts"

any time you're told to use AI at work, turn your work in about half as fast and pepper it with obvious mistakes. if nobody cares, you have less to do, and if they do, you can tell them you'll never use AI at work again

Trump has openly said his motive for attacking Venezuela is to seize its oil. But recent explainers in WaPo, Politico, BBC, CNN pontificating about Trump's motives do not mention this fact at all. I wrote about western media's bizarre refusal to state the obvious, even after Trump says it himself.
Media Pontificating About Trump’s Motives for Attacking Venezuela Keep Ignoring that he Openly Admitted It Was to Take Their Oil
BBC, Politico, WaPo, CNN entertain many reasons for why Trump wants regime change in Venezuela—while ignoring the most obvious.

This goes double for anything any milk brained pundits think of last night’s elections. Their takes will be bad! We know they will be! Who cares what they think, they have been loudly and enthusiastically proven wrong in races literally everywhere.
lets shake hands & agree to ignore every single garbage pundit & the terrible pieces they write for clicks. let them fade into obscurity so they're all sitting together at the bottom of a well yelling about the need for centrism so when it echoes back at them they think they still have an audience.

Very tired of this. The LAPD & LASD will still gas and beat your ass if you remain peaceful, to say nothing of ICE/CBP/DHS. And some even say the Mayor has some responsibility over how her police forces operate!
Peaceful protest is a vital part of our democracy.

Today, thousands of Angelenos are expected to gather for No Kings Day demonstrations across the city.

I urge everyone to express themselves peacefully and safely.

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.
A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

there are like 5 crises that are all accelerating at once in America now, but a fun game to play is to pick one and say the other four are just the media's way of distracting us from the one you picked

i think the fundamental disconnect here, and i say this as an engineer without much creative talent, is that a lot of people who don't do creative things regularly (or ever) look at creative output (writing, music, whatever) as a product, and consume and experience it like a baby looking at a mobile

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.
