White Americans colonizing Puerto Rico: hi, everything you have belongs to us now

White Americans hearing Spanish at the Superbowl: no not like that!!!!!!!

Get them used to the automated customer service runaround early. "I'm sorry. I'm not able to help you with your question about the sun's nuclear fusion at this time. Would you like to hear about Gay?"

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

today's report:

our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children

this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

Protest sign from MN that says, “DEARLY BELOVED. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TODISMANTLE THIS THING CALLED ICE.” with a picture of Prince in the left hand lower corner.

10/10 ICE protest sign

You can tell it's an anti-trans study because it's a study about trans people that's actually still funded

Every single time it’s the same fucking people.

Like he has some irrational attachment or nostalgia to these prestige outlets that short-circuits his brain when he hears criticism of them. I don't get it.

It was Singal that did it for me, but yes, they've been bad for so long now, such a disappointment. But like.... I've been knowing this since like 2017 or 2018, how has this escaped people like my friend, who is like pretty smart, normie, a good person with pretty good politics? It genuinely feels

This seems significant.

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

some right wing asshole on X: MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED The protestors use a "mutual aid" system. I tried to join the mutual aid that for Bloomington. An admin told me that it was a vetted chat for teachers and that l'd need to describe my relationship to a school. And give my real name. I couldn't do that so l never made it in. Why are there teachers aiding in this effort?!?!

A+, teachers!

And so I clicked on the link and saw it was JOHN MOTHERUCKING YOO. Sorry, but q.e.d.

And I was like okay, no, that's not a fair characterization of what I said at all, shut the fuck up. So then later, I was looking at my news feed and I see the article, "International Law Getting in the Way of Democracy" and I was like eugh sounds gross but I'll show my friend!!!

And I go yeah, I know, it's an Atlantic article, and they have been platforming too many shit opinion havers for too long for them to have any credibility with me as an outlet, and then he was like, "oh so they publish one opinion you don't like so now you reject the entire outlet"

lol a friend sent me a link earlier to some Atlantic piece that was like "guys, it's fascism now and I'm okay with calling it that" and I was like bruh why are you sending me this fucking tripe, I don't need to read what this guy has to say. And my friend was like, "yeah, it's not a tweet"

Need less ‘the call to heroism has inspired me to be who i was always meant to be!” narratives and more “this fucking sucks and I don’t want to be here but someone has to do it and goddamnit it looks like that’s me” narratives imo.

Not only was I not born for this and not prepared for this, I spent most of my life not even really imagining this could ever happen, and I'm not even really sure what to do about it, and I have other dumb hobbies I'd like to attend to but like I got kids, we can't be doing all this jfc IF I HAVE TO

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go.

Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

Anyone will tell you the best way to calm cops down is to yell "I have a gun" and reach for your wallet

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

If the Puritans knew there would be men named “JD” identifying as heritage Americans they would start a whole new breakaway sect based on the idea that suicide isn’t a mortal sin

Reminds me of how Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mom) was in the women's prison down the street during Stonewall and started a riot in solidarity

wait, will stancil was on Star Trek???
