It’s not at the request of government officials it’s at the request of Benioff

At a raid on the drop-off line at a local elementary school, hundreds of parents had ICE surrounded within three minutes. ICE gave up and fled.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

Trump's collosal bung to his Argentinian friend (now lookin like irs going to be double the original amount, 40 billion dollars) is starting to look very much like daylight robbery of American taxpayers.

All the "lifelong Democrats" who wrote San Francisco Doom Loop articles over the last 3 years, about how it's the trashiest worst most dangerous city, will be so very happy to hear Trump's announcement just now that his goons are going to Make SF Safe Again

epic bacon wrong! groups like tpusa and the federalist society were formed to create a populist base of overt racists and erode the legal consequences of being overtly racist!

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

I know you’re referencing that newspaper. I forget which one that hired a bunch of witches to work against Charlie Kirk before his assassination. But we don’t wanna say anything that might get the right wing to reinstate witch trials/lynchings.

DocLT @doclt.bsky.social · 8h

I know it’s funny to blame the Etsy witches, but you have to remember those are real people and witchcraft (various kinds) is their religion and they are a misunderstood minority that is vulnerable to public attack so it’s pretty important not to say things that might bring more persecution on them.

They don’t work for free.

Also, I am not a witch, so I may have this wrong, but I think they believe casting for harm brings harm back upon themselves as well, so don’t ask them to make sacrifices for trivial reason.

Eg: to get rid of bad neighbor, ask witch for jerk’s work promotion & transfer.

Not all doctors abide by our training, however we are trained to treat the technical situation of human body with illness. It is not our place to judge the value of that life to society, though any non-ciswhiteman could testify discrimination upon perceived social value often happens anyway.

Jordan Peterson is sick, and suffering from "spiritual attacks" (and surely it's not the drugs, or long COVID, or a meat-only diet, or...)

A win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin from carrying out mass layoffs during the ongoing government shutdown. The case centers on Trump’s statements indicating that the planned firings would be politically motivated, targeting employees based on their political affiliation.
