We are indentured servants.
We are not free.
The oligarchs basically just ‘modernized’ slavery.
The prisons need bodies.
Recidivism rates have been decreasing.
They’re taking away our rights to privacy and bodily autonomy.
Human trafficking is lucrative.
This is a five alarm fire.
If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
Not only did Trump bomb a girls elementary school killing around 175, he also continues to tell preposterous and obvious lies about it to the American people and the world while his defense secretary, who said he wasn’t following “stupid rules of engagement,” refuses to comment.
Larissa, a therapist from D.C., recently spent 12 hours in a jail cell with five other people. There was no running water, since the sink wasn’t working. They were all fed once: a baloney sandwich per person.
She was there for her trans patients. They're being hurt by this administration, she said.
🚨This is HUGE. In a lawsuit against Operation Metro Surge, a Trump appointee rules that DHS "likely maintained unconstitional policies" during the massive ICE operation.
However, "largely owing to" ICE's somewhat decreased presence in Minneapolis, the judge denied a court order on standing grounds.
Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

D'Agostino's is selling one pound of ground beef for $18.99 so everything is going great.
Reminder: The Trump admin shut down the FREE IRS tax filing tool Direct File.
This program helped make life more affordable by making it easier for families to claim benefits.
This almost literally takes money straight from our pockets and shoves it to tax prep companies.
I really hate to do this, but it’s lowkey an emergency with a few grand of housing bills that weren’t expected.
I lowkey need about $3k just to make it to next month. My Venmo is @ckthompson94 - any help is massive. 🖤

I do need the American people to stop viewing Trumpism as blunderous policy failure.
It is a full court press to subjugate you into poverty and despair. There is no witticism or gotchya or logical superiority that can combat that.
I got another very thoughtful gift on Throne from an anonymous gifter today! 🥺💕 Thank you so much!
I was going to get the Last Guardian art book but it's gone up to $76 from $40 when I added it two years ago. The money will instead help me with bills and debt.
I will provide excellent analysis for the low low price of $80k/year and a lifetime time's supply of Taco Bell
the best analysis money can buy and they’re all getting circles run around them by “orange man bad”
Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*
Like the administration, they view things a if they are a reality show or game without real consequence.
People are ust NPC's to them.
In 2 weeks, 5 kids lost their fathers after ICE at Adelanto allegedly ignored two men’s repeated pleas for medical care. With @PublicCounsel, @CHIRLA & named plaintiffs, we’ve filed for a preliminary injunction in L.T. v. ICE. More: www.immdef.org/litigation-a...
DEI is when the people I call slurs talk back to me without being instantly mulched
“Wow he blocked me because he can’t take criticism” that’s correct. This is social media. You’re just some asshole. I am under no obligation to listen to you tell me what to do. Have a blessed day
They Thought They Were Free is a really good book to understand that these people never fully actualize their part in horrible atrocities.
Whats going to happen is people will say it wasn't that bad and just not say they supported that much anyway. They were just peripheral to it.

“EXCLUSIVE: I’m the Palestinian Who Has Been in ICE Detention for Almost a Year”
Writing for Zeteo from inside of prison on International Women’s Day, Leqaa Kordia asks us not to forget the female detainees being held and mistreated in ICE detention camps.
New York City Police said on Sunday a device that was ignited and thrown during protests outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home over the weekend was an explosive that could have caused serious injury or death.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

Settling in.
I'm actually relieved Daylight Saving Time is here because I feel less guilty heading upstairs at early-ass hour and then waking up ass-early.
I've been up just after 4am lately and been making myself wait in bed until after 5am, because I find 4am an offensive hour to be awake
A curvy, psychadeloc embroidery where satin stitching in a variety of colours moved in a gradient from cool blue, through white, yellow, and orange to dark red. Thr bright colours stand out against the charcoal fabric. The gradients are reminiscent of flames or the isolines of a temperature graph.
'Fluid Fire' 15-inch in diameter psychedelic embroidery.
Finished late last night, pushed to finish the last colour. Probably the biggest embroidery I have done, started in January. #art #embroidery
