I know many people carry whistles to warn of ICE and I would never advocate anything illegal.

But you have any idea what a spark plug can do, even to reinforced glass?

You would think these statements would be common sense.

Once upon a time, a chief executive openly signaling that he’d reorient a newsroom to appease a sitting president would be a five-alarm corporate scandal.

Today, Paramount doesn't even bother to answer questions about it.

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

If you needed any further proof that the anti-DEI stance = racism.

If you're not white, they simply do not care.

They do not want you to exist.

Sometimes, I think Thanksgiving without family sucks.

Then I remember being talked over by the half-brother who used to tie me up to the bed and molest me and how he was viewed as some kind of hero genius.

I don't miss that at all.

ICE detaining indigenous people who were literally here first.

Despicable.
Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.

Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Lots of posts about "no win for Zelenskyy" or "question Zelenskyy's sanity" which seem to be more about denegrating him than posting facts.

Zelenskyy wants peace, but NOT with trump's/kremlin's "plan". He has not accepted that plan at all.

Ukraine will not give up teritory, russia must.

On scientific topics, especially in public health, federal government webpages have been a trusted way for the public to find reliable information.

A CDC webpage with disinformation is dangerous in the short term and erodes public trust in science in the long term.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.
