I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle.

No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.
there are a bunch of big names on this list, including multiple beard award winners, and some places i never would have guessed in a hundred years (the malt shop?!) and i'm genuinely floored and delighted to see so many participants

Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent…

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

I know people who will have the same reaction when the gestapo comes to their neighborhood.

There needs to be a captcha before voting that makes you identify each major candidate and 3 quotations from their campaign trail before casting your vote.

Just tell me you know wtf you're doing is all.

Nuts that the team with the bye faces only division rivals in the playoffs to reach super bowl.

No one is taking the bait. Regular people armed only with whistles and phones are trying to prevent their neighbors from being disappeared by unaccountable masked armed goons. The differential in power and force between these two sides is so immense it is laughable to even consider them together.

I feel like people who are telling folks in Minnesota not to take the bait so Trump doesn’t invoke the Insurrection Act have a lot more good faith in an aging cruel dipshit who is being feed a steady diet of AI slop by scheming viziers who dream of invoking the Insurrection Act than I do.

Aside from the oft-raised moral issues around cloning, I think one reason to probably ban it/strictly regulate it is that it has potential to break people's brains.

When things die, they are gone. A clone isn't them. We should not muddy that in a world that is burning because tech broke brains

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

Cynicism and might-makes-right pretty well encapsulate my religious upbringing from a practical and theological standpoint and I'm glad someone helped me connect those two and also tie in totalitarianism too!

Gonna think on this more.
I've increasingly come to view cynicism as the seedbed of totalitarianism, both because it can paralyze the opposition and because it implicitly validates the might-makes-right ethic of the authoritarian.
i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

My question?
Assume you *could* reform this? Why? Who needs it? What a monumental waste of energy to do anything but dismantle this monstrous agency of bigoted fuck bags

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled

She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt

They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal

She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her.

She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

Anyone else find that their top anxiety wrt letting their children go to public school has shifted from fear of a right wing school shooter towards fear of a right wing gestapo at their school?

Cool society we got here.
