In light of D’Angelo’s passing, today feels like the right time to revisit his genius. My BFF’s @faithp.bsky.social book honoring Voodoo is a heartfelt tribute to his artistry.

grateful portland has risen to the challenge so far in peacefully protesting the ICE facility and that nationally we're all cheering on the frogs but I think it's important to make sure everyone is aware that the ICE goons aren't exactly being peaceful in return

I never liked the story about the headless horseman. Even when it was disneyfied. I’m old enough that they used to play that story on a *record player* as a special school time Halloween treat that was fucked up all by itself- then as I got older they had special treat Disney movie that tricked you-

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Ps not saying trauma informed therapists are the best over others! Saying they’re the best for ME and MY diagnosis. Like, that’s the secret nobody tells you, some therapies work super well wirh some diagnosis and not w others! CBT is shit for my diagnosis!

Like I’d literally sit there confused in therapy. What are we even doing here???

When I finally found a therapist that addressed cptsd and trauma etc- everything clicked almost immediately. I get just entire suitcases of help and self knowledge in literally every session now.

It really matters what type of therapist you use-like, I saw a lot of CBT specialists that never helped me a bit. I went to a trauma informed therapist that centered their work on somatic healing and I found almost instant relief.

The husband finally goes down to check alone, while the wife got busy putting on her clothes and face! When he comes back up he’s all well would you believe it darling, there is indeed a body in the library! And the wife is all- oh dear.

I watched the first episode, which was a wee fussy but in a charming pbs British way lol. Like, a maid screams ‘there’s a body in the library!’ And the rich husband and the rich wife spend ten minutes fussing over ‘they must’ve misheard the girl, there couldnt possibly be a body in the library!’

Which is to say- when they talk about ‘religious freedom’ they don’t even mean religious freedom for all Christians. They mean religious freedom for *christian nationalists*.

This is an important point. I can tell you what would’ve happened if Franklin Graham was the one that got shot.

So, 2 things:

1. Glad a reporter asked about this.

2. The reporter ultimately didn't ask Johnson a moral/religious question, but a technical policy one. Given Johnson's background, worth asking him *specifically* if he supports shooting clergy w/pepper balls and if it's a religious liberty concern

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
