Ex-twitter user circa 2011, left after it became unbearable. Will probably leave here if it gets that way too. Bikes, coffee, tech, Sixers, and a frustrated American. Trans rights are human rights Block me if that's not your vibe
Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.
A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.
At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office — a two-decade high.
The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

The Pentagon has barred press photographers from briefings who published supposedly "unflattering" photos of Pete Hegseth.
like, honestly and truly, this is probably the first time in his life he’s been told “no, you can’t just walk away, you actually have to deal with this” and it’s probably going to break him.
24 hours later -- not a peep out of any House Republican leaders or any Republicans in Congress or the Tennessee GOP at all about this.
I go no responses from anyone I reached out to.
Guess they're all fine with comments like this!
Trump speaking after markets close is usually a sign he’ll say something bad for the economy, and the White House communications team doesn’t want a graph with the line going down and blaring red numbers with a minus sign on the screen with him when he does.
Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
The burning oil refinery in Tehran tonight.
This ancient city of 10 million people is being annihilated by the US and Israel.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.
In the last 4 days one of my senators broke a Marine’s arm, the other one announced he wasn’t running minutes before the filing deadline so his hand-picked successor could take his place without a primary and my rep announced he was giving up his seat as well.
How’s y’all’s congresspeople doing?
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:
Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.
Its a horrifying escalation.
There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US

I mean it's a SCIF with a perimeter barrier consisting of curtains so I think we're a little past ICD 705 already, even by TSWA standards
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

About that
So let’s think about this.
A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.
The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it
A judge in AL, Trump appointee Corey Maze, becomes the latest of 33 judges to side with ICE's mandatory detention policy.
He says a man in the US for 27 years, with 6 U.S. citizen kids, has no more due process right than someone who just crossed the border. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The President singled out racial minorities as the source of fraud in the United States and the first line in recaps is “he stayed focused on the economy“ lol
Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.
