Thou shalt arrest Kristi Noem and put her in a detention center indefinitely so she can “await processing.”

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

In case you're wondering, the Senator reposted the video along with this comment

At some point the dam is going to break. Taking videos and blowing whistles is not going to cut it. MAGA is a death-cult. This video makes me absolutely seethe with rage.

The fact that the U.S. has been so successfully brainwashed into thinking that sunburned white guys with cheeky Nazi tattoos Define the Working Class when the ACTUAL working class is non-white women (many of them immigrants) - yeah, that’s one of the great madness runes of our time.

America's long commitment to the soft eugenics of allowing the system to do the killing of undesirables is fast accelerating into a Nazi-era program of hard eugenics, in which the state directly enacts mass death against those it considers unproductive/undesirable.

I guess there wasn't a tall building with windows nearby.🤷‍♂️

Anywho, there's no better time than now to put your ideas out there and invite other people to do things with you. Might as well try. You don't have to know everything before starting. You can just start.

President bone spurs is sending Americans to war to die w/o congressional authorization, paid for by cuts to Medicaid so he could keep his defense spending while giving billionaires a tax break.

He doesn’t care about the troops who die, their families, or the civilians & children who die in Iran.

The Jewish Woman Who Was the Love of Palestine’s Most Famous Poet Died This Week “Rita is an erotic poem. … Rita in all my poems is a Jewish woman.” – Mahmoud Darwish, in a 1996 interview with Israeli literary critic Helit Yeshurun. On Feb. 24, Tamar Ben-Ami, a Jewish-Israeli woman who inspired some of Mahmoud Darwish’s most famous poems, died at 79. She was an acclaim...

Tamar Ben-Ami, the Jewish-Israeli woman who inspired some of Mahmoud Darwish’s poems, recently passed. @lisang.bsky.social  reflects on their brief romantic relationship and Ben-Ami’s life as a symbol of the intersections between Israelis and Palestinians.

Despicable despot.

As a Black man with Tourette Syndrome, the Public Advocate has some thoughts on BAFTA, Pt. 1:

Hear about his experience with Coprolalia, his thoughts on how BAFTA mishandled the moment, and the need for care for all who are harmed:

Does the President even know what is happening? Just after 6:30 p.m. tonight, the President of the United States stood before a room of governors at a formal White House dinner and opened his remarks by confessing that he believes his own Cabinet o...

The world is violent and mercurial--it will have it way with you. We are saved only by love--love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love. ~ Tennessee Williams Typewritten on sepia-ish tone background to look as old as first written.

There's a shit ton of stuff that shitty sperm can cause but we almost never talk about THAT

SCOOP: IL-9 congressional candidate and current state senator Mike Simmons had police called on him in Buena Park while canvassing for votes. No arrest was made. Here’s the video of the interaction @senmikesimmons.bsky.social recorded and shared with me.

Ugh.

11/ AI enables DOD to take this data and connect the dots with other discrete datasets about US persons to recreate their movements, associations, and political views at scale – an invasion of privacy far more egregious than the type of surveillance before the Carpenter court.

The Paranoid Style of Jeffrey Epstein Has Come for Us All The pedophile plutocrat had some peculiar predilections—especially for academics and thinkers who showed a potential to further his grand experiments in inhumanity.

Wrote a piece about many looking at the Epstein case all wrong: He's not the thing that connects a network of rich and powerful men; he's the lens that shows us how they were already connected.
