A particular thread for this particular day:

It’s Indigenous People’s Day. Today, I honor my great grandfather, Cre. His mother, a full Cherokee, was wed to a German immigrant with land. They had two children, then the man died. His family dispossessed Cre’s mother; they were forced out of their home in early winter. With no where to go (1/11)

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

The NYC Mayoral Election is weeks away. I fear that MAGA will immediately freeze funds due NYC & state when Zohran wins. It will be interesting to see how the major news media outlets—all based in NYC—will cover these developments.

With no hostages left, the Palestinians have no bargaining chips left...

Netanyahu did not say he would cease all military operations.

He's still a war criminal and needs to be handed over by the Israeli people.

Let him have his time before a judge at the ICC.

George Carlin nailed it. They're ready for violence. They know just what to do about violence. What they cannot handle is humor. Ridicule. The sardonic truth of their evil on full display for all of society. So - we know what have to do to win this. Show the world their mediocrity. That's their fear

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

Long story but i hurt myself and had to go to the hospital last night, got my first ever doses and fentanyl and ketamine and i now understand why the tech bros are so messed up.
I do not understand why anyone would take those drugs willingly. Felt like 💩
I will be fine, no worries there.

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.
