Reminder that there was a whole entire Democratic presidency in between "kids in cages" and "mistakenly trafficked to El Salvador" and all they did in that interval was give ICE more money

DHS waiver for construction of the border wall contains a waiver for, among other things, NAGPRA, a law which is supposed to protect indigenous gravesites from desecration. This seems to be going unreported because people referenced the press release not the register.

@GrimKim @Workshops4Gaza we love homies who keep each other informed and homies who accept constructive criticism with grace

@Workshops4Gaza Thanks for the info! Fuck em then

anybody got a promo code or coupon for Booking. com or any of the other travel sites? I’ve got a big (self-funded ofc) book research trip coming up this summer and every penny counts!!

.@Microsoft is a new BDS priority target. Here's why you should boycott @Xbox and pressure your institutions to exclude Microsoft from its contracts. #BoycottXbox

@lickthe_bag @jamesstout prob wld have to keep total added weight very low and/or fuel topped up (fuel system has trouble at low tank levels when sitting too low on the suspension),& you'd prob want to modify bumpers & undercarriage for bigger tires, but like-she'd be a better technical than a CyberStuck

@jamesstout I wonder if anyone's managed a Prius technical yet.

Born to fight, forced to Prius

Horrified to see this image, of our @ImmDef client Andry, being brutalized and terrorized at the CECOT in El Salvador by men with chains & masks & AK47s. The @TIME photographer described him being slapped as he pleaded with them. We now know it was Andry crying out for his mom.

why do left orgs continuously organize large permitted parades? they dont believe, probably, that big crowds magically means big change. they prob think theyre creating favorable conditions for mass resistance. to do so, they'd need to foster unruliness, not avoid or contain it.

Defy your employer.

@MightiJamie @constans substantiation for this claim comes from any software person who's worked w codebases that are many yrs old and/or worked on by >10 ppl ripping out&replacing legacy code like DOGE proposes is like tearing down walls in ur house for a remodel w/out knowing which are load-bearing

@constans I was hoping to read a well laid out argument with examples and explanations. This is merely an assertion with no substantiation and it is followed up by questions of intent and questions about benefits. You had me in the first half.

Do not rewrite legacy code I cannot stress to you how much you do not want to rewrite legacy code Only a 25 year old would think this was a good idea

The horrific moment that Tufts grad student and anti-war activist Rumeysa Ozturk was detained (kidnapped) by Trump’s ICE thugs. Somerville, MA #FreePalestine #FreeRemeysa

@jonfavs the tents in the link preview picture were brought by volunteers, and that fire was built from manzanita bushes gathered by the migrants in the camp. The only food and warm clothes available were also brought by volunteers - same for water in the summer

@jonfavs This and worse have been happening to migrants at the border for years now. CBP has been operating prison camps in San Diego off and on for the past few years now, which you can read about here: borderaidsandiego.org/what-is-happen…

This is FUCKING INSANE Trump's ICE goons detained a Canadian actress because of confusion over a work visa for TWO WEEKS - shackled, thrown in a van, sent to AZ, kept awake, not allowed to contact a lawyer theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

@jamesstout 🚨a 2nd pig has hit the border🚨

A second pig has been released at the border and is in need of a home. HMU if you're in san diego and want a pig. (Icymi we have found 3 cows and 2 pigs at the border this year. And a goat last year So far I have managed to find homes for them or they have found their way home)

This is the best laptop in the world. Period.
