I often get “I/we miss you on Twitter…” I left Twitter way back in 2023. Nuked my account after the last election. I don’t miss it. Don’t miss the “bigger audience”. Really don’t miss all the different flavors of Nazi & the whole D&D alignment of White supremacist sympathizers on there.

if colleges had to refund the tuition of every student that had been raped during their time there, they would actually fucking give a shit about students getting raped.

Good luck being a heterosexual male Democratic candidate anymore with even a whiff of anything but the most pristine romantic/dating history, because wherever you might fall on the party's ideological spectrum, the minute you hit national notoriety, the knives are coming out hard

Everyone must accept that American political affairs will be fundamentally dictated by a constant parade of rape claims — always and everywhere, rape rape rape — but also, you must not ever think too critically about it, or you will be declared as complicit in the constant raping

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

ICE has detained almost 30 people this week in bismarck, nd
目 bismarcktribune.com 

The sweep by agents with U.S Customs and Immigration Enforcement appeared to have begun Monday and lasted at least through the workweek, with nearly 30 people who are allegedly in the U.S. illegally being booked into the Burleigh Morton Detention Center over those five days. Two of the people arrested by ICE were reportedly employees at the Bismarck restaurant Charras, prompting the business to temporarily close.
Several of the protesters said they were spurred to act by the news of the Charras employees being arrested.

Mass deportations are getting increasingly personal for a lot of candidates and elected officials. Here, Paul LePage, former GOP governor of Maine and current congressional candidate, says his son's father-in-law is currently being targeted for deportation.
Paul LePage said Monday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is deporting a relative.

The Republican former governor who is running for Maine’s open 2nd Congressional District seat made the revelation in response to a question from a Portland Press Herald reporter during an event in Augusta, where LePage accepted an endorsement from Maine’s Fraternal Order of Police.

LePage told the reporter that his son’s father-in-law, who has a valid work permit, faces deportation because “certain people in Washington” don’t like the country he’s from, according to the Press Herald.

LePage didn’t identify the relative or say which country he is from.

He went on to say that ICE should focus its deportation efforts on gangsters and criminals.

“Would I go after everybody that’s here, that have work permits and have been here for decades? Probably not,” the Press Herald quoted LePage as saying.

At the same event, LePage also criticized the new state law limiting police cooperation with ICE agents.

As I was saying.
A screenshot of a thread of three posts by Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) discussing Democratic Party politics and transgender rights.
First post (2/4):
"The push to abandon trans people within the Democratic party has not been organic. It's been funded from the very top by the wealthy donors and consultants. Base voters on the other hand have punished candidates for attempting to abandon trans people. But the money won't be deterred."
Second post (3/4):
"They're constantly putting money into think tanks, media publications, and friendly substack grifters like Matthew Yglesias to get the Dem professional class to agree to abandon trans people. They've been banging that drum for 2 years now nonstop saying it's trans people's fault."
Third post (4/4):
"That's what this is about. It's them following the lead of Labour andopening the door to force the Dem platform to officially abandon trans rights for at least a generation.
You don't hate the donors and the consultant class enough."
