I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c....
I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!
so much cultural and political effort gone towards making a project of pacifism and an end to war seem like a soft, prosaic concern of comfortable people rather than an essential part of the project of justice and human flourishing
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
🧵: Andor S1 is a perfect Campbellian Hero's Journey, because the object does not get to choose if its perceived by the lens, actually.
One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
I’ve seen some speculation that the advances in basketball shoes and their use by young athletes (along with overuse) could be contributing to this surge in Achilles tears among NBA players. Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton being examples from last seasons playoffs. I could see this being similar
Oh she’s from Lake Orion, those white flight towns north of Detroit are rife with that shit. Brighton is almost as bad, west of the city is getting better but thats mostly just demographic change.
Only about 45 minutes in so I’m not sure if it’s covered later, but the Clone Troopers are giving strong Starship Troopers energy in the large battle scenes. As a kid, I assumed the clones talked to each other in their helmet that the audience couldn’t hear alongside the hand signals.
Experts have described Dilley as “a hellhole” and decried the lack of proper medical care. Court records claim food is filled with worms, and the water is undrinkable. As a result, reports have spread of children are hitting themselves in the face and wetting themselves long after potty-training.
1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."
ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY
Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me
my guy was back out there doin Good Work with a broken rib from his previous encounter.
name a fucking high school after him.
Sign staked in snow at Vigil for ICE Victims. “Free Baked Potaoes, To keep your hands warm… or put in your pocket.”
The power of Baked Potatoes and grassroots logistics will abolish ICE @hollyanderson.bsky.social @channel6.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social
He's directing traffic. He steps inbetween ICE and two women who are being harrassed by them (one of whom was shoved to the ground for no reason), raises his hands and turns away from them and says "Okay! Okay!" to indicate he isn't going to be aggressive, at which point they start with pepper spray
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
friendly reminder
The things you believed were right yesterday are still right. They'll be right if they put you in jail. They'll be right if they shoot you. They'll still be right when these people are dead and dusted and gone.
which they will be
I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."
The Audio games are the magical, no audio is better than commercials though. Nothing better than actually getting to watch halftime and it’s my former marching band gfs favorite part of football
operating under the assumption that you’re exempt from violence just because you’re currently choosing differently than those who’ve already been affected is naive at best and horrifically holier than thou at worst.
And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.
“He was a dictator” fat nazis in plate carriers abduct your neighbors from the parking lot of target and send them to gulags.
Make it into any of the Ravenor series that follow? Way more of an ensemble story, but very fun. The unfinished Bequin books are a lot of fun too, Abnett is definitely my favorite BL author.
There is a Noah Caldwell-Gervais video going through them all from a few years ago that is good and on the same wavelength
JJ always had a game or 2 a year at Michigan (BG ‘23, the nightmare that was the ‘22 semifinal against TCU), where he would make the worst decisions. I never 100% trusted him to carry the team, even the ‘23 rose bowl almost started with an awful pick where he happened to come down out of bounds.
