well I missed the little confetti drop when my Kickstarted ended because I was writing a letter to the CEO of Kickstarter in support of @kickstarterunited.org . Ah well, worth it! Here's how you can get involved, some are really quick steps! Don't miss your confetti drop, tho. kickstarterunited.org

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I’ve always smeared him as Pierre Delecto

The media smeared Mitt Romney as Hitler. Then Republicans thought, well we might as well run Hitler.

the party’s capitalist wing will complain about ‘no bench’ and then put millions of dollars into janet mills in a primary

Cai @annenotation.bsky.social · 2d

Leftists are just wreckers. They are a huge part of why we currently have no bench.

I think it’s fine if you just call it mass murder, Chris, there’s no reason to equivocate about it

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Why do bash “dead-beat” players for not being there for their teamss but we never question if the org has bad vibes? Or if they’re just unpleasant to be around?
