A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
When the law is ignored, and the bullies run amok, we are no longer bound to be either nice or convenient. It's time to make #goodtrouble.
Today EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced that the agency is rolling back 31 regulations.
He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands.
The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.
The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.

A screenshot of two tweets. The first tweet is from Rick Wilson. It reads: "The executive order creating DOGE specifically said unclassified systems only". The second tweet is from Angry Staffer.

They have already blown past their own authority. The courts must enjoin them now.
Never understood those additions, unleash the chaos 🤔 🤣😈

![[ID: A graphic with an irrational cube illustration in red and the following text in black: The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.
(the following sentence is in red text) If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

A graphic from Courier Newsroom with text reading, "The richest person on Earth will have an office inside the Trump White House, all while maintaining his ownership and direction of companies with billions of dollars in federal contracts." Below the text, Elon Musk sits on a chair between two flags, one American and the other representing a government seal, against a dark, smoky background.
I didn’t vote for this. None of us did.
This is what makes Bluesky an appealing platform for communication. 😍🔥
The Onion bought Infowars in bankruptcy and the universe feels like it came back into a bit of alignment.
A social post from @mherlihy0816 that says: Them: Are you going to be part of the problem or part of the solu- Me: Oh problem, definitely Them: That wasn't...it was a rhetorica Me: I have some ideas on how to make the problem even funnier than it is

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies
PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:
go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off
Screenshot of a social post by '@ipodmacbook' on the social platform 'X' that says: 'one thing that’s not a spoiler I will say is no matter how many previews you see of dune 2, austin butler is somehow balder than that in the movie. you’d think there’d be a limit on how bald you can possibly be but somehow he’s more bald than that'
The bald and the beautiful.
The shift back towards some of what Twitter used to be has me optimistic about this platform's potential
