"No, guys, I said to destroy Green ARROW!"

This feeds my head canon that Doom does not really care about Johnny, for the most part.

"The boy? He's an annoyance, but largely irrelevant. Richards and Grimm have a bizarre emotional attachment to him, which is a weakness that can be exploited..."

State Department slashes fee to renounce US citizenship by 80% to $450 The State Department has slashed by about 80% the fee for Americans to formally renounce their U.S. citizenship.

I would like to point out that the Trump administration raised the fee to renounce US citizenship to $2,350 in its first term. While I'm glad it is reduced back down as someone whose considered leaving it was great to ask the "hate america? I'll help you pack!" Crowd if they would also help us pay

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose β€˜targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.

A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

I think it might be a bad thing that a dipshit kid can help dismantle government systems leading to countless deaths and immeasurable suffering and then get a court order to make sure people don’t make fun of him

Jews are targeted in shuls & online.

Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps.

Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.

Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.

Trans & queer people are being outlawed.

We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

Oof. I just did one that REALLY hurts.

I was not expecting so many people that I previously respected to have such awful (and surprisingly vulgar) takes on Katie Porter's proposed tax policy today.

Holy shit!

RAB! is running for California Governor?

I had no idea!

Normally his signs would be EVERYWHERE by now!

Is he NOT running a money laundering operation this time?

ICE agents in Oregon testified under oath that they used a custom-made app to identify neighborhoods and people to target & had daily arrest quotas they sought to meet during operations

"These RiffTrax guys want money to make more MST3K?
That's some really dumb shit.
When have they ever demonstrated that they know anything about how to make MST3K?
What makes them think they're qualified to do that?
Why do they deserve any confidence or benefit of the doubt?"

To be clear, cis people regret breast augmentation and nose jobs and all sorts of permanent elective procedures. The idea that the presence of any regret at all means that something shouldn't be done means that healthcare in general shouldn't be done.

I considered myself a pacifist for a good chunk of my life, but the past decade has shown me there's a decent amount of awful people/right-wing lunatics that just need a good fist to the jaw &/or a good kick in the balls.

Though I do suppose that being forced to continue to live as Pete Hegseth is a pretty harsh punishment.

Might even qualify as cruel and unusual...

It’s not just a cold. We wish it were just a cold. We would not keep talking about it if so. Since 2020, doctors, scientists, and millions of people who have had COVID-19 have learned that it can cause permanent damage to multiple organ systems within your body, leave you disabled and unable to do the things you love, and significantly harm your quality of life.  A cold cannot disable or kill you the way COVID-19 can.

We know a lot more about prevention than we did back then.  We all remember when we thought maybe we’d be ok as long as we were 6 feet away from sick people; that masks worked one way but not the other; and more. But just like with all new viruses and scientific study, we learned more as 
there was more time to 
study and observe, and we 
now know that wearing masks 
and keeping cleaner air are key to 
protecting ourselves and others. Now that we know better, we can (and should) better protect ourselves and others.

We understand the frustration about vaccines, but they are still extremely important. We all remember when vaccines were first made available, and it would’ve been great if that was the end of the pandemic. It wasn’t. And a lot of people have gotten frustrated and have given up on vaccination. It’s true, the virus that causes COVID-19 changes (which is why, like the annual flu shot, we need to get updated COVID-19 vaccines each year), and the vaccines we have now will not eliminate COVID-19 on their own. But they are still very effective at preventing serious illness and death, so 
even though they are not the one quick
solution to the pandemic we all wish they 
were, they are still extremely important, 
and we should all stay up to date.

This week marked the anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve summarized our thoughts a bit below, but tl;dr: Unfortunately, COVID-19 is still with us, & although we may be tired of hearing about it, it’s extremely important to continue to take steps to protect ourselves & others.

They didn't have a Professor, so my Professor Utonium filed in.

Huh. So it's unclear who's funding this campaign to pay influencers to attack Kat Abughazaleh.

But the guy coordinating also has a company called Advocators AI, which just won an award for work for…Daniel Biss β€” her opponent.

One of the campaigns the company boasts about promotes trips to Israel.
