Back at a desk job for the first time in about 18 months and my goodness, I forgot what it feels like stair at a screen for 8 hours straight and slowly turn your brain into scrambled eggs
There's only 100k votes between them and still about 480k ballots yet to be counted. I'm not saying he won't win but this feels irresponsible.
while Pretti's GFM surpassed $1mil, please don't forget Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, killed by ICE in Chicagoland last September. They haven't even reached their goal yet.

Is it a bad thing that I cry when thinking I may have to be a barista again?
For those of you who keep saying “BUT WHAT CAN THEY DOOOOOOO” HERE. HERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN DO AND HAVE DONE.
hey, elected officials? nobody who says anything like revamp or reform or rehabilitate or retrain ICE has my vote. i don't want ICE 2.0. i don't want "hurt and terrorize and murder and abduct my neighbors but in a more socially acceptable way." get them fucking gone and maybe we'll talk
Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.
No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.
Impeach. Convict. Remove.
Congress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump.
And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine.
We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.
Be sure to have the name of the office you want to be directed to and that be all you say to them bc if you say anything that isnt direct instruction they will hang up on you
It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
2027 is gonna be my year 🥰
Ryan Coogler says he’s rebooting ‘The X-Files’ for his mom, a major fan of the show, and she’s already read some pages: ‘She’s fired up.’
And no anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans provisions. "Protections against lawlessness" are NOT enough.
1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.
Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.
It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.
But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.
This is my thought. Don't let them trick you. They've been screaming civil war for a year at least. Don't let them convince you that THIS is the reason they'll feel emboldened or that that is something ok to expect in the first place. Also, ask why they are silent every other time. Say it. Shame him
Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence.
What a legacy.
There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.
My latest piece.
You ever write something and think, "Thank God. This isn't terrible."
No? Me neither.
Combat sports, esp. MMA, is lost in this country. Last night a fighter on the Contender Series fantasized about the transgendered being 'opponents'. Today a champion bestows a visit to a warlord. The Saudi image rebuild and takeover in boxing is complete. What's been built in my lifetime is gone.
Very cool that cis people can just access hormones willy nilly but trans people have to jump through a million hoops to get the same exact treatment
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Realizing that in order to be successful at my career I'm gonna have to finally get decent at social media things. So like that's terrifying 😳
I was just thinking how the crash out over Mamdani’s win is establishment types and institutions confronting the fact that he didn’t need them, and how those same types really neatly overlap with the one demanding we throw trans people under the bus
This is an evil beyond comprehension. The people responsible should be sent to the Hague.
the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think
Been sobbing on & off since I heard the news about Jonathan Joss.
You don't understand. It's so, so rare to have an Elder in Hollywood. We have a literal handful to look to, to learn from. Redcorn is often referenced by Natives as the only authentic (& funny) characters we saw growing up on TV
when you get bored of ripping off satoshi kon and just go straight to drinking from the plagiarism hose
