Listen, I'm mostly a reply"guy." I admit it. I like to quote post things to say this long thread is worth reading. People turn off quote posts for good reasons, so I repost those without comment.

FFS.

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

no amnesty

It's full, so this is just to make you jealous.

BREAKING: Jack in the Box workers across the Bay Area are ON STRIKE after a pattern of wage theft involving late pay. When workers spoke out to demand an end to the practice, several of us were retaliated against. #UnionsForAll #MoneyPowerRespect

fwiw back in 2019, the last time the Trump admin directed federal authorities to comb through Ilhan Omar’s immigration records, they found no evidence of wrongdoing but actual legal wrongdoing is very much not the point of this "investigation" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

With all the attention to Dawkins today, I think it's not bad to revisit this incident, Dawkins' supervillain origin story, as it were. Innsmouth is not wrong (and this is not a criticism of them), but what they relate here is usually as much as anyone remembers. But there's an extra layer here...

Reposting with alt text cribbed from @otsumamiboy.blacksky.app with my thanks.

What’s “wrong” for Trump is the idea that a Black and Muslim woman he deems inferior could come to the United States and be granted rights as his equal ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I like to point out that the segregationist KKK wives in the 1950s were being truthful when they said they would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a Black woman. The solution to this is that "uncomfortable" does not justify discrimination against other people.

The cruelty is the point. - Adam Serwer

The biggest danger to this administration is being a non-white person who is funnier and better at posting than them. That's why they're arresting this woman's family members for running a weed store two weeks before an election. She has the juice and that's dangerous.

I guess it's time again for me to start reminding people that alt text on images is a courtesy to visually impaired people and culturally deprived old people who might not get the point of the joke without it.

Per a database of discrimination complaints obtained by @propublica.org , Trump's Department of Education is actively ignoring reports of rape and assault on campuses so they can instead focus on transgender athletes. Their obsession with trans people is actively putting women and girls in danger.

Gift giving season is coming up and I sling antiques and 9 of my friends make incredible handmade stuff so if you're not following the @peculiarityshop.bsky.social maybe now's a good time. It puts money directly into the pockets of 10 LGBTQIA+ people and the community is A+++.

no amnesty

This is one of my least favorite arguments, sorry not sorry.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

Sheriffs have been doing this for four years, something I kept writing about but most people did not take seriously. www.cbsnews.com/news/federal...

Performing an abortion in Mississippi could result in 10 years in prison but an officer killing a 1-year-old child is justified????

That wasn't even fighting. Just making a point. (Detroiter here.)

Laws permitting abortion up to fetal viability are still abortion bans for the people who hit the viability limit while they’re trying to scrape up money to pay for an abortion. And new research suggests that voters don’t even need the limit to support abortion access. 🎧 New Baby Boom! Lawyered.

This Day in Labor History: October 20, 1969. A construction worker named Clarence Borel filed suit against eleven companies for asbestos exposure. Let's talk about asbestos and the workers who fought to save their own bodies from this horror!

I mocked this last night, but I just wanna add that the thing about the government taxing people to use to provide services is that the government also employs people, and in fact, the government uses more of its tax money to employ people than a billionaire would use with it sitting in an account.

It's hard to get attention when people are focused on the midterms, but politics will continue after November. On the horizon: a federal bill addressing "organized retail crime" and another addressing "carjacking." Both of these would be disasters and give DHS more power.

In case you shop at auto zone.

hakeem jeffries should be in front of a microphone blasting the regime for unleashing its security forces on a member of congress under his leadership.
