Also, one that I have personally witnessed, turtle sunning itself on a log.

I was just thinking about this - why do they want to emphasize that not only are they terrorizing cities, they aren’t effective at the thing they say they are trying to do!!

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens

Although there is that old adage "You'd be amazing what the average car can do, if you never plan on using it again."

Anyone else find it hilarious that all of a sudden, the GOP is calling health insurance companies the bad guys? And drug companies?

It’s almost as if those giant campaign contributions never happened.

Feverishly working on this

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Allston car wash workers speak out about their detention A seventh employee, the only one sent out of New England, was released Saturday.

“More than a month after several employees’ sudden detention at an Allston car wash, the seven who have been released spoke out about what happened when immigration enforcement agents detained them at their jobs.”

The poor guys thought they were being rescued...

Deeply bone tired of all the wickedness.

But working with @bkindivisible.bsky.social and @nywfp.bsky.social and @handsoffnyc.bsky.social, among many other fantastic groups in NYC, keeps me going.

Action absorbs anxiety, folks. And community beats fascism.

ICE officers and cops throwing down and roughing up priests, ministers, pastors, and rabbis is not a good look.

I am an atheist but I am proud of spiritual leaders putting themselves in the way of fascists.

Famously served by the Red Ball Express, the black trucker brigade that kept the supplies moving.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Oh yeah. That's what want from book social media

Two thoughts for current ICE & DHS agents
1. "I was just following orders," will not protect you
2. Neither will the people giving you the orders

Move on! Life is short.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.

If your heritage can be easily destroyed by changing a logo, it deserves to be destroyed.

The Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to live above the law.

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

a thought i have reading @clintsmithiii.bsky.social’s wonderful piece is that one reason the administration wants to erase any mention of the worst of our past is because it is intent on recapitulating those atrocities www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
