Democrats will implicitly and subtly rebuke him. You see it already with how Obama, not Biden, is the main former Democratic president denouncing Trump. And do you think those anecdotes about Biden in those dishy campaign books just fell out of a coconut tree?

Frances Larina @franceslarina.bsky.social · 5d

It would be interesting to see if the DNC veers off in this direction and throws Biden under the bus. No chance in the Xian Hell it will happen, but it would be interesting.

We talk a lot about AIPAC and “the Israel lobby” but when it came to Israel, Biden had a genuine ideological commitment to the “hug Bibi” strategy even as others in his party didn’t like it.

True. Jeffries also had a marathon speech so that a shady vote could take place during the day. I am not impressed. It is an action above what he typically does...

Trans people are the working class. Black people are the working class. Immigrants are the working class. Pregnant people are the working class. Brown people are the working class. Asian people are the working class. Disabled people are the working class.

They can have a talk. Many leaders have done so before. What makes this different? People are still dying regardless and it's Israel's fault.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Aside from Vance, who as veep is functionally unemployed, farming the approval of racist trolls for validation, this is their worldview: white people are true Americans and are entitled to be here, the rest of us are guests and must behave accordingly

Fisher said she was handcuffed before being released around 3 a.m., and she was told that if anyone had any kind of warrant out for them, even if it was unrelated to immigration, they would not be released.

Walter Olson @walterolson.bsky.social · 13d

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness.

The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires.

So they go for the media-bait illusions of power.

Like this.

Profoundly weak flex.

ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.?

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · Aug 1

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....
