'Worse than the pandemic': Red state restaurants now suffering from Trump's ICE crackdown A coalition of business groups, restaurateurs, and lawmakers in Texas has been formed to push back against the anti-immigrant policies of Donald Trump’s administration as sales collapse and companies ...

The state most infamous for shitting on its own people, is now whining bc of what they helped cause.

And they don't even walk it back. They only want it to work enough, as to enjoy the labor of these people, yet not make them part of society. 🖕🏽

The Dallas Wings' two best players are about to have a big gay summer Azzi Fudd is a Dallas Wing, and my gay heart couldn't be happier.

I understand the myriad reasons why a lot of outlets chose not to make hay out of Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd's relationship. I, however, love gay women so I blogged about how happy it made me here:

posting this shit when you’re owned by a billionaire is basically a recruitment ad for socialism

we cannot live this way.

klan shit

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose.

AI will never fill that void.

I think if tech executives accept Army commissions as Lt. Colonels, they should not be allowed to resign and should be sent directly to the front. What's the saying in Silicon Valley? Eat your own dog food?

My father had no interest in becoming a citizen and moved back to Jamaica. My mother had no intention of changing her citizenship and worked her ass off for decades as a tax paying green card holder. I was born in Maryland in 1977 and I’m as American as anyone else. They can just fuck off with this

As an American born to two people who never became us citizens the birthright citizenship case feels like a fucking disaster and a personal insult.

Love to my trans friends on this Trans Day of Visibility and every day. I see you, I love you, I support you.

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

the most vile pieces of shit

Fuck no.

Yet never has so much been seen, so precisely, by so many people who understand so little of what they are seeing. A system can tell you where a man is. It cannot tell you what his death will mean for a nation. Such systems are trained on behavior, not on meaning — they can track what an adversary does but not what he fears, honors, remembers or would die for.

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

we talked with ed in this episode about how openai has not committed to any deals and that it would ultimately be revealed and collapse. i believed was true i didn’t think it would materialize less than 3 days later!

it’s your patriotic duty to send me any tom homan is a bitch signs

incredible to see this video sent to me from a no kings protest in the town of BRANDON, FLORIDA

Has anyone asked Homan why the ICE agents are armed when TSA agents are not?

that's your whole life, Greg. your existence boiled down to being a useful fascist prop for roughly a summer before being unpersoned.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
