Yes I must be one of those privileged people in recovery to have the opinion I do ❤️ You’re the one conflating shit.

And no, it’s not fair to the people around you, or the people you work with - even if you believe you’re functional, or have a network that enables you - to be accepted as an addict. Stigma does help & there’s a difference between calling it out for what it is & calling for mass incarceration.

This is stupid discourse, and all in defense of people like fucking Musk and Hesgeth. Plenty of the people who are appalled have struggled with addiction themselves - I wouldn’t and WOULD NOT WANT to be propped up the way these men have been, it only makes your addiction so much fucking worse.

Maksim tells me he has developed a kinship with the transgender detainees in particular, who he says face brutal harassment from both guards and fellow inmates. “I’ve befriended several,” he says. “But here, especially for trans people… just disappear. One day they’re here, the next day, no one knows. Were they deported? Released? No one tells us.” In that landscape of indifference, Maksim has found a kind of resistance in solidarity. He is part of a small community of queer detainees who take care of each other. “I’d be happy if America wants to deport me,” he says. “Just not to Russia. Mexico would be fine.”

Reading this interview with Maksim Borisov, a gay Russian dissident who sought asylum in the US last year only for ICE to arrest and detain him in February.

He's currently held in Eloy Detention Center in Arizona where he says "trans people… just disappear."

leave aside the horendous failure of the american media to pick up on any of this: you, individually, can be black bagged and deported for saying in america what haaretz reports in israel

@azcentral.com and Ruben Gallego can get fucked. I hope this shit wing of center right liberal politics, aligned with the fascists and enabled by the DNC, dies the death it deserves sooner rather than later.

Frieren is going to be one of those comfort shows I watch at least once every year. Love my autistic anime waifus.

Enjoying the brief 2 hours of time when I can be like “haha take that jerk” before Trump nominates Jared from Subway or something

stigma is part of how society enforces norms, and ‘don’t be yoked to the fucking gills when making policy decisions at White House’ is a fine norm to enforce. give me a break. this wasn’t someone getting buzzed on their own time and showing up to work with it still in their system but functional.

Your chatbot friend might be messing with your mind OpenAI, Meta and others want people to spend more time with AI chatbots, but there is growing evidence that they can hook users or reinforce harmful ideas.

Some of the worst people on the planet are in charge of this tech, and they are telling you it should be your friend, coach, therapist, and tutor.

Is protesting this idiotic, racist, and genocide supporting man an example of what some of the (invariably also white and male) BS users mean when they say this platform is “hostile”?

Fuck David Frum, a piece of nasty goose shit that should’ve been exiled from political life over a decade ago.

You’re a racist, genocide supporting hack.

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

Are you all fucking stupid.

nice. eat shit ed and lorraine warren

A small silver and black cat sleeps on a window perch.

My little shadow is enjoying her new perch.

In the 15 months the USAID Gaza response management team was active we recorded 0 confirmed incidents of Hamas or PIJ stealing US-funded aid, several of the IDF stealing aid, and many of IDF-affiliated armed criminal gangs stealing aid.

I hope whoever/whichever team gets HBO to agree to on-set shooting and giving side characters lines isn’t destroyed by the Zaslav-driven enshittificafion of media. Even with all the nonsense, an HBO sub delivers so much more than Netflix if you hate green screen as much as I do.

politico opinion - these woke faggots ruined our opportunity to make so much easy fucking money by funding genocide. its time to meet in the middle - make it illegal for trannies to go outside. and let me say it again with the hard r

Journalism is back and doing better than ever in 2025

As Marco Rubio plans to open an "Office of Remigration," here's the context behind the term "remigration" and where it comes from.

Can’t trust any politician that accepted crypto lobby funds to be on the right side of an issue…

there’s no freedom for anyone unless police power is weakened

lol

Mexico’s President is beloved by her country and has polled at 80% approval after taking office. What’s that about.

The unsupported assumptions writers like this make about “the left” are getting so tired. Always ignoring how the intersection of corporate interests and inter-party politics led to the “failure” of Sanders and Corbyn b/c that’s inconvenient to their narratives.

She was insanely racist like a lot of other second wave feminists. I remember reading Against Our Will in college and thinking it was an incredible text until I got to the chapter where she basically wrote “Emmett Till had it coming” and made up statistics about black men and rape.

Dems really need to start running on “I promise to prosecute and execute everyone involved in this widespread human trafficking scheme”

A corgi puppy sleeps on my flip flop like it’s a pillow, favoring a hard floor over the several dog beds that are available to her.

She loves my slips. Goodnight xoxo
