Letting go of that desktop in the corner was a catastrophic mistake.

"[T]he population of [Idaho's] imprisoned women increased by 50 times since 1980."

"[T]hey're kept there by guards — mostly men — who control every aspect of their lives; who can harass, grope, and sexually assault them with confidence that it will be kept quiet."

In Idaho women’s prisons, guards get away with sex abuse

A yearlong investigation finds rampant sexual abuse by guards, systemic cover-ups, and punishment for victims

A very poor guess, but whatever.

Have a nice day!

Libs are rarely entrapped into charges of plotting violence, the defense of which eats up money and resources.

But as I said above, fuck it, let a hundred flowers bloom, what do I know...

I'm much too cynical to see inflatable frog costumes as anything but a hindrance to flight from inevitable state violence.

The first time they beat and imprison an inflatable frog will be shocking. The second time won't even make the news.

But fuck it. I don't have answers, so go nuts!

The efficacy of their tactics is my primary issue with them.

Plus and their susceptibility to police infiltration and manipulation.

All that said, people who haven't been in the streets since they mothballed their pussy hats need to direct their critiques inwardly for the next few months.

Before Obamacare, insurers charged people with health issues thousands of dollars a month for insurance, or they wouldn't give them insurance at all. Republicans want to bring back that era.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

Sent this to my family this morning.

I'm not sure what the news is saying, but I want to let you know two things: first, Chicago is mostly completely safe and peaceful. And second, where it's not, it's because the federal government is wantonly firing teargas and kidnapping Chicago residents.

Normalized for some -- and still completely unknown to many.

Thank you for documenting and sharing the truth of it.

There should be no more than six X-Men.

Eight, tops.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 9h

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

the mayor of Broadview pushing protesters—pushing PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN BROADVIEW—away from the ICE facility is a betrayal

Pritzker not knowing where state police allegiances would lie is dangerous naïveté at best

we have to make it clear that electeds need to pick a side

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)

He also signed SB 590, which bolsters paid family leave.

Read his veto messages here:

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Also! Hats have the worst margin. I typically make around $10 per cap. The Pope Trucker is $31 for me to produce. So, again, at $55 it’s less than wholesale.

A man wearing a white trucker cap. The bill has embroidered gold laurels. There is a gold braid running between the bill and front panels. On the front panels the name Leo is embroidered in gold script. On the side there is a round patch with gold embroidery that spells Da Pope
