I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

Hey remember when the people who said this was inevitably going to happen got surveilled and brutally arrested by the state

NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ plans to allow ICE into Rikers worry immigrant rights advocates, @b2binclusive.bsky.social reports. Adams has not yet issued the executive order, but immigrant rights groups say the move would target immigrants presumed innocent while awaiting trial at the jail complex.

Genuinely hope everyone furious about this article is doing some actual Black Panther shit in their actual lives because everyone I know who loves guns on the far left is 100% just a poster AND seems to trust that the government will treat the left and right equally in 2nd amendment protection

i haven't seen any of the oscar movies this year, nor have i seen any movie ever made. i'm afraid that the people trapped inside the screen will be angry at me for not helping them escape; and once they are out i will be punished. anyway, here's how the awards validated an opinion i already had:

it’s so stupid that rich people give wine a bad image. there’s such good wine that isn’t too expensive and tastes like sunshine and walking in the grass in your barefeet

Congestion pricing in New York City is a month old. What are the results? Less crime as subway ridership up, less cars, less traffic, more people walking around, and increasing popularity. Here's a thread of recent stories about it.
