Even if you believe that enforcing the law requires removing people from the country who entered it illegally, the way this administration is doing it makes a mockery of the very idea of the rule of law.

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

Fox is now openly celebrating Trump's unconstitutional seizure of power from Congress. There is literally nothing the guy could do that they wouldn't cheerlead. The network is completely captured by MAGA.

I...actually know a fair bit about this.

From letters written in Japan, a hot headed Porto would get in a duel with a minor Japanese retainer.

Swords would be drawn, the destreza fighter would take a high stance with their blade up, because they saw the katana as a cutting weapon.

A great thread on the grassroots origins of the frog with blue kerchief.

so the frog is 卖娃青蛙。https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_23101624 it was designed by a mom with the last name Tong in Nanjing, inspired by the toad in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabas.... it is a mascot of 躺平culture (lay-flat, against capitalism)

i’m just, so amused at all of this. yes it is awful the frog is a symbol of social alienation and grassroots resistance, with a hint of dadaism in it and for this to show up at Portland protest against ICE is so very on track

This is some Marla Singer fight club ass behavior.

I am willing to live in a world where, sometimes, someone just takes your things because they can,while most folks just don't. That this will sometimes happen and that we may come to a point where we must do it, but we mostly just won't.

Bobbing for apples: point control in a bucket of water.

Cerberus's bark: 3 opponents, each may only attack once the one to their left has attacked.

Ghoul walk: 5 masked opponents, 4 are blindfolded. Touch the sighted opponent without being touched. The sighted lose when they touch the blinded.

Even advertisements are generally designed to insinuate that you are not enough. And that insinuation is often not in alignment with the truth. Unless what you aren't enough of is a certified professional.

I am also unconvinced by "avoid looking too delinquent" just as much as "no hoodies".

But I AM convinced that there exists a sunset of resisters who are affluent to enough to afford such inflated costumes, time to go be in them, and health insurance to cover themselves.

Blackbloc is prob safer.

Germs DGAF about our thoughts about our orifices. They only care about fecundity. Livin' it up in the rich resource abundant crevices and to spread to other similar places. We got so many freakin places like that.

I got marketed a salt deodorant to make your pits inhospitable to germs. Wild stuff.

I always say to dig where there's taters. Usually that means doing what the dopamine tells you to do. My condolences to the lack of taters where you're digging, or at least the perception of that lack while you are digging. I hope you are fruitful in your endeavors.

There are 3 doors but he only reveals 1 after you choose. If there were 4 doors and he revealed 2 leaving the last of 3 unpicked doors, the realization to switch becomes evident.

Here the reality is hidden by multiple doors. But when there's one door in your house the reality becomes clear.

I sometimes wonder if the lives lost to their antics are powering some terrible necromantic machine. And then I remember how capitalism works.
