We really need temporary mute for people. Sometimes folks are posting about a show you haven’t watched yet, sometimes people are Having a Day.

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).

Reminder that the majority of justices on the Supreme Court are Catholic. If this lands on the emergency docket it’s going to get zippy

Just had a Chanukah miracle with my bag of lettuce. Thought I was getting it out to throw it away because it would have gone bad, instead I’m having salad.

The phrase that explains a lot of what is happening today is "increasingly weak and desperate." That doesn't make anything less vile, and it doesn't mean things are less dangerous - they're very not. But this is what is happening.

I don’t think we should have capital punishment at all, but that’s a longer fight. An immediate thing is if we, as a nation, try to execute you and fail like this, that needs to be an automatic commutation of your death sentence.

”No one deserves to be murdered” is such a fucking low moral bar and I’m continually horrified by how many people not only don’t clear it, but LOUDLY and PUBLICLY shout about not clearing it

So how come 17 people I follow also follow this person who thinks murdering Israeli children is justified? And then “apologized” for the phrasing not the content? And then affirmed their support for Hamas on Twitter?

If the Hepatitis B vaccine trial RFK Jr. has funded in Guinea-Bissau were ethical, he’d be doing it in the U.S. Instead, he’s preying on infants in one of the poorest countries in the world, which also happens to have a high prevalence of Hep B. Infants will suffer b/c RFK Jr. is anti-vax.

Jesus Christ, I didn't think we'd actually get to the "public executions" stage of Trump's project to roll back the last 100 years of societal development.

Just today: - The Trump admin announced the first public execution since 1936. - Trump tried to incite a race war against Somalis. - Trump said anyone using the phrase AI is "THE ENEMY" - The NYT reported on a potential ICE plan to deport migrants on military boats and ferries.

I think my mountain of meetings may be space just right so that I can’t take the bus to campus, which means another $15 in parking fees. It should be illegal to charge people money to work.

Also as you will hopefully glean from my list it's actually not as simple as "Israelis who do IDF bad Israelis who don't do IDF good," there are IDF veterans in Breaking the Silence and Combatants for Peace who've done far more good for Palestinians than "exempted for being an extremist" Ben-Gvir

Also, military veterans are eligible to be charged for crimes committed while they were in uniform, but they are currently civilians and not valid targets of violence, period. If you want to go after a civilian, charge them with a crime. That's it.

The argument has been made that this unethical study is “just following the standard of care in G-B”. But the research team HAS the vaccine and the ability to administer the birth dose. We know what will happen when they withhold it. Infants will be infected with Hepatitis B.

My father-in-law was a Sri Lankan citizen who immigrated here as an accountant. He was underpaid at the time because of racism in the UK, where he’d been living. He retired as the CFO of an insurance company. It’s a quintessentially American story of hard work yielding opportunity for advancement.

Sending people to random third countries isn’t deportation, it’s rendition.

Zohran Mamdani is living proof it is possible to be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, and some antisemitic anti-Zionists AND some right-wing Zionists will never forgive him for that.

Honestly this whole episode has made me so sympathetic to him. He tried to do the right thing. He tried to be pro-Palestinian AND pro-Jewish. But there are some people, zionist & anti-zionist, who can’t stand any consideration for people they see as “the enemy.”

Ah yes, the house that was conveniently located closest to the freshman dorms.

0/10 do not recommend having your birthday be the anniversary of a massacre of your people and an unofficial “post the most Jew-hating shit you can get away with while claiming to be on the left” day. Hooray for only having a few minutes online between work and fun plans.

I know you know this Jo, but it’s because there exists within the pro-Palestine movement a faction that hates Jews and want us to suffer.

white evangelical Republicans whose experience of Catholicism is limited to people like JD Vance assumed that their allies on abortion would be their allies on everything and miscalculated so badly here. even the most conservative US bishops cannot function without their immigrant parishioners!
