Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.
Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
You’re gonna win, Jon. We’re gonna win. Thank you for sharing. No mountain too tall…but some of them are fucking huge. 🫶
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

(It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)
Someone should write a fan fic about how Galt’s Gulch (fictional libertarian dreamland of Ayn Rand’s in Atlas Shrugged) becomes The Capitol (fictional libertarian hellscape from Hunger Games). Both are located in Colorado and the progression from one to the next is the obvious outcome.
What you libs fail to understand is what if China builds a tacky fuckin ballroom first
In 1990 Betsy Anderson, a 6 year old in WA, was tragically killed when she crossed too close to the front of her school bus and the driver didn’t see her; now, all school busses in the US have a safety arm or “Betsy Bar” to keep kids from walking too close.
This post isn’t about school bus arms.
That’s a lot of words to say “stop asking me about Epstein.”
It’s barely for the strong 😆
The next 7 days: hosting a kid birthday party, one kid only has camp 3 hours a day, going out of town for a night so figuring out kid coverage coordination for my husband (don’t @ me about how he could do it, he does plenty), two closings, and leaving town with my kids at the end of the week. 😵💫🫠
Oh ya. I suppossseeee
The first rule of podcasting is never listen back 😆
Pssst Missouri friends you have an auntie or many aunties here in Seattle.
Booker is still going many minutes past breaking the record because it’s about so much more than the record. The record is a footnote. It’s about the tyranny America is objectively suffering under right now. He’s been on topic the whole time. THANK YOU. More of this!
They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
@theneedling.com from your post on FB asking for tracking - follow here, too!
Okay but hear me out can we go the other direction and make the 11th Canadian province of Washington? Or Cascadia?
It’s the way @lukeburbank.bsky.social and @walsh.bsky.social have the *exact same* physical reaction at the *exact same* time that does it for me. 10/10 no notes.
Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.
We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.
Omg same. I cracked a huge smile when that happened. Haven’t put in my dazzling donor message yet and was like “maybe I ask for more chipmunks” but I think the lack of expecting it is what did it.
Ha! I commissioned one of my bffs to do sketch for a tattoo of my dog!
from the r/fednews subreddit, reactions to how they should reply to phony stark’s email to federal workers telling them to detail what they did last week If you end up replying don't give them an opportunity to evaluate your performance based on the reply: This week I accomplished: • 100% of the tasks and duties required of me by my position description • 100% of the work product that my manager and I have agreed to • 100% of the duties and performance elements that are used to evaluate my performance • 100% of the deliverables requested of me by my direct supervisor. • I exceeded expectations in the delivery of the above Details available upon a formal request from my direct supervisor. this is good enough to confuse the Al they're going to use to analyze 2.4 million emails. A human might understand it's a troll, a computer will just say this person did well.
yes. love it. do this.
See *this* is the reason i wish publications would offer pay per article. I’d spend like $2 to read this in a heartbeat but I am maxed out on subscriptions. Anyway, Evan can’t wait to track this down at my library. The preview sucked me right in.

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.
This piece was really well written and will connect for readers who may have been a tiny tangential relationship to hockey. McGill is clearly an excellent advocate for all the communities he’s a part of.
