PSA regarding donations:

I really can't right now. I'm already helping my own families with struggles on their own, on a job with less than half of my original salary.

I can spread awareness, I can repost, but until then, I'll be in this rut for at least 6 more months.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Mooppan: The Louisiana map doesn’t discriminate Black voters because GOP lawmakers would have done the same thing if every Black voter had been a white Democrat instead of a Black Democrat.

Something that I don’t think people realize is how bonkers racist society was for a long time. Like it is racist now but it was *SO RACIST* that it is hard to describe it without sounding unhinged

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Should have screen shotted the post on reddit but apparently an intern from the FP posted on there and said she was big mad about the segment.

Don't know if it was true or not, but it was removed.

And it was funny

I'm not scared of cars or the police, but I just need to put my head down for a little while longer. I can't do much if my network isnt strong and its currently at a fragile level. I was actually excited about this until now. But I will focus on other community work while there is time left.

I'm trying to honestly figure out if my black ass should be out this weekend or not.

It's not because I don't want to go, but the last time I went someone tried to intimidate me with their car.

And I live in a swing state where I learned its a bit more red than I realized.

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said.

Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%.

Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer.

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

Ain't no way she's watched John Oliver

Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social · 1d

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News:

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver
