Saturday morning mad thoughts. And don’t get me wrong. I’ve definitely done pranks on my pets. But I’ve learned and seen the effects of that anxiety in our pets so I try to consider those things. Sometimes I accidentally scare them, but I don’t go out and purposely cause stress/anxiety on them.-

NYU’s annual Detention and Deportation Conference means something different this year - Washington Square News β€œThis conference on immigration and detention and deportation has become a radical act. It’s sad, but it’s true,” migration scholar and keynote speaker Allison Mountz told an audience of close to 200 people on Wednesday, who stood along the back wall and spilled out the conference room’s double doors.Β  The radical act in question was...

ICE isn’t just tapping into government databases β€” it’s also tapping into local police scanners, EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social said on an @nyu.edu panel. β€œICE is buying millions of people’s geolocations and weaponizing all government data toward immigration.”

The Democratic Party became the party cemented in civil rights in 1948 because of a young mayor, Hubert Humphrey.

Nothing good in our party happens without new voices pushing the party to evolve on issues.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

What a fucking joke. Every guardrail is gone as the oligarchy bends to the will of the authoritarian.
