Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

Heads up ATX area people: ICE out in force at the Kyle HEB stopping every vehicle in the parking lot

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

yes! a good number of MAHA-approved products are just repurposed waste from beef production

He Doesn't Do Much by Basil Wright

I finally put cover art on it, so for #SelfPromoSaturday, I'm talking about my very mini TTRPG, He Doesn't Do Much.

This game cannot be played by itself. You have to have another game that has parrying mechanics (or allows parrying) in order to play HDDM.

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

FINANCE TIP: Don't be old or sick

the movies suffer terribly when there is a lack of weird looking dudes to play major roles. Clarence Boeddicker was a good 30% of why Robocop was so memorable and he sold that character by looking and feeling like some freak who knifes you behind a bar for the $12 in your pocket

Long Covid patients fear being forgotten … because that’s what society does to disabled people. They vanish us. Drop out of our lives when we don’t “get better”.

Unfortunately the world’s desire to cosplay 2019 will keep creating more disabled people. Who will in turn be forgotten. Rinse & repeat.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

This Is Just to Say

I have eaten
the Doritos
that you left on
the table

and which

meant to
pack for lunch

Forgive me
they were delicious
so cool
and so ranch

There's bird flu and Covid and people look at me like I'm the weird one for wearing a mask

Twitter won't die easily, all the middle-aged men who made their five-digit follower count their entire personality and are addicted to one-liner quippy comment-based conversations with five other similar guys will carry it into the solar death of the universe.

'No Amazon, no Walmart, no fast food': What's behind the 'Feb. 28 economic blackout' The People's Union USA, a self-described “grassroots movement” founded by John Schwarz, is encouraging Americans to refrain from making non-essential purchases on Friday.

Disabled characters deserve to be featured as primary characters in film/TV/books/games, AND without their entire plot revolving around “curing” them.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

I just got one of those too 😭 I love it!

Weird.

The image is a screenshot of an MSNBC news broadcast covering a House of Representatives vote. The main portion of the screen shows a live scene from the House chamber with a vote tally displayed, indicating the results for House Concurrent Resolution 14 (H CON RES 14). The vote breakdown is: Republicans: 216 Yea, 1 Nay, 3 Not Voting Democrats: 212 Nay Independents: 0 votes Total: 216 Yea, 213 Nay, 4 Not Voting The bottom of the screen has a red "Breaking News" banner stating, "HOUSE GOP VOTES ON BUDGET DEAL THAT THREATENS MEDICAID." On the right side of the screen, there are two smaller video panels: 1. The top panel features MSNBC host Chris Hayes speaking, with the show's logo "ALL IN" visible in the background. 2. The bottom panel shows a congressman in a suit speaking in a government building. The broadcast time is displayed as 8:14 PM ET at the top left and 7:14 PM CT at the bottom right. The setting is Capitol Hill.

The House budget reconciliation framework that cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid has just passed.

They are literally taking from the sick and poor to give the rich tax cuts.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.
