I like that he said “poor and vulnerable” and not uneducated or unclever 😌
My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social is one of the best books I have ever read. Top 10 from a woman who has devoured 2+ books a week for 41 years. I laughed, I cried, I blushed, I got angry… and a feat few of my favorites manage… it came to the most satisfying of landings! Please read it!

I don’t care what anyone says, Blue Prince was 100% my game of the year. It refreshed an old game style but added in modern game mechanics to make it something completely new. The art is stunning, the narrative was moving and deep. And all of those pieces flowed together seamlessly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This regime is so vile! We might still have a long fight ahead but I am holding out hope for the day when we see all of these people behind bars for the crimes against humanity they have committed in the past year as well as those they have covered up for decades.
Coercive sterilization in ICE detention. Eugenics.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Here is a suggestion. Maybe we cancel all private flights until the shutdown is over to conserve airspace for commercial only? Since these politicians are so concerned about the overworked air traffic control. I’m sure they won’t mind the sacrifice while they negotiate a settlement.

This! Our States and local governments must use every lever in their power to push back against injustice so we have hope of getting our fed back.
Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Whelp just canceled my #gamepass. As of today even with a $20 per month subscription I don’t seem to have access to all the games anymore and it is confusing to understand what I do and do not get to play with Game Pass.
I subbed for the simplicity. Make it complicated and I’m done.

What that? You will have to shutdown the government? Sort of makes sense seeing as you were the one to put it on life support in the first place.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk.
He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.
