Border Patrol is detaining another US citizen and lying about it.

She’s part of a group of citizens and green card holders who have been disappeared after their travel plans were disrupted.

for like 4-5 decades we have been debating whether parrots are self conscious despite being alive and capable of speaking, then some dipshit invents a product they want to sell and within a few months were asked to believe an inanimate object is actually smarter than we are

this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.

if you haven’t gathered already I HATE flying. for me it’s a sweaty anxiety inducing experience. planes are amazing and complex machines and I am in awe of them every time I travel. I’d just rather not be on one 5-8 times per year

traveling for business is always so annoying but at least I get a little chocolate treat on the plane

trans people have been ringing the alarm for years. we watched as a tiny group of transphobic editorial staff in charge of supposedly liberal publications moved public opinion on trans rights by twenty points against us. you don't care at all. you refuse to see it. you don't remember anything

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today
