yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

like a master of qigong, he redirects the flow of clout from others and, cultivating it within himself, he manifests an enlightened awareness of the Three Treasures of a Poster: likes, replies and retweets.

screencaps flow from his dantien like breathe, his quotes are like a roaring waterfall.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

they're only *mostly* not in the bible

A screenshot of search results of the KJV bible for the word "seething", which has 3 results.

1 Samuel 2:13: "And the priests' custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;"

Job 41:20: "Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron."

Jeremiah 1:13: "And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north."

It's unfair to make demands of Democrats bc they're just powerless rich congressmen. Instead, we must hold the truly powerful people accountable: social media accounts with more followers than me.

it's wild that wanting to help unhoused people instead of punish them makes me a radical. "people who need money should have it" is a threat to the world order?!

in a world where cruelty is rewarded & charity is punished, compassion is a radical act

it is very, very stupid that this is somehow true

one "F" in every acronym or initialism stands for "Fucking"

ROFL → Rolling On the Fucking Laughter
BFF → Best Fucking Friends -or- Best Friends Fucking
FIFO → Fucking In First Orifice -or- First In Fucking Orifice
MILF → meaning unknown. we can only guess at this ancient phrase

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”
