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.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Why would anyone listen to a single thing Tulsi Gabbard has to say about Russia lol
“Did not” influence is a different thing than “tried to, but failed.”

Senate Republicans just voted to pass the largest slashes to your health care and kids' nutrition assistance in our nation's history.
They're gambling with your lives to pay for tax cuts for their wealthiest friends.
The fight isn't over: call your reps at (202) 224-3121.

Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR.
Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

I missed this last night — there is a provision in the House Ag bill that exempts you from the SNAP work requirements if you have a dependent over 7 years old, only IF you’re married & live with your spouse and they are complying with the work requirements. 🤔
If you’re a single parent, nada.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992
