JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

As someone who has seen him in action in both SF and California in general: BARF. Do not trust this man.

Not that it's the "answer", but still gonna harass my congress people every day to defund and abolish ICE. If Bill Kristol of all people is down for abolition, what the hell is the Democratic establishment doing? We need to scream in their ears 24/7.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Does this entire thread not know that pitchbot is satire, not the actual NYT, or am I missing something here?

I still hate Reagan the most. Guess I’m old school like that. But if we’re talking alive people, gotta go with Stephen Miller. Except he may be undead…

I'm wondering the same thing! Reporting is that Alito recused himself, so the "liberal" justices sided with the company?

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

Crossing (2024) Lia, a retired teacher from Georgia, learns from her young neighbor, Achi, that her long-lost transgender niece, Tekla, has crossed the border into Turkey. In search of Tekla, Lia travels to Istanbul ...

Finally saw Crossing (letterboxd.com/film/crossin...). It's the best film I've seen so far this year.

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my weekβ€” it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted β€œI am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

Just looked at this list and one of the first few wasn't MAGA, but a Palestinian. Not doing your anti-Palestine work for you.
