1. ICE FUCK OFF.
2. Solidarity with latine folks who are more vulnerable than ever right now.
But also, if you're not the latter, STFU about anything to do with the intersection of the two. See #1 and #2.

I am once again reminding everyone that Anne Frank died of typhus in detention.
'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

And sending the FBI to raid election offices in jurisdictions where Trump engaged in racketeering to skew the 2020 election in his favor. A never-ending politics of revanchism.
I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Lying to secure joy means eventually having to lie in grief, which makes it isolating. Deceiving people in your own sphere is best understood as the result of a self-annihilating impulse.

Everyone from T. Crowder to Xtian fans of the people of the neighborhoods of Minneapolis who insist this "isn't politics" and/or "is (the real) Christianity?"
I'll still pay their bail, but "isn't politics," is heads in sand, and "isn't real Christianity" is abandoning people to defend a religion.

White men out there on certain platforms, going on about the things they would never do in the presence of ice, are sounding shrill AF. They're terrified of 1) the same thing all of us should have been all along, and 2) how wrong they've always been about their cushy spot on team death cult.

So. There _must_ be a formula.
If you have X (or X% characters) typo in a given bsky post, you append a note to it with correction, also possibly bemoaning the lack of edit.
If you have Y (or Y% characters) typo in a post, you copy, delete, correct, and repost it.
Find X and Y.

It's true, I wiz, that nobody's being driven around like a robot by their religion. And if you want to say, "the final responsibility lies with the person," I agree.
But that's not an excuse to bemoan criticism of belief systems. It's a way of defending belief systems that are indefensibly dumb.

1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction
