Trump is so small & tiny that he has to threaten genocide as all of us marvel at the wonder of our beautiful Earth and this magnificent moon. TikTok tried to censor this for “misinformation” but I think we all know the truth

This is simultaneously the most ridiculous and most religiously arrogant timelines we could be living in

Me everytime someone gives me a compliment. 🫣

Affluent men get a lot of attention for supporting #UBI. But I wanna hear from more people like me - people who have been on benefits, who work at the crossroads of vulnerability & innovation, who have experienced poverty and still pour our hearts into this work everyday

How long do they think this is going to last as an excuse?

“I have a BA in sociology” isn’t the flex you think it is when your analysis is constructed by AI and is full of typos & misinformation. All I can conclude is that your school didn’t do as good of a job with your degree as Loyola did with mine. 😘

That the defense attorney tried to use J6 as a rationale for why they couldn’t admit the evidence of CSAM and other disturbing material is beyond gross. Fuck…it is because of desperately perverse arguments like this I had to leave the profession

🚨BREAKING: An ICE agent says they’re being pulled off child predator cases to hit immigration quotas instead. In this phone call, an HSI Special Response Team agent… who works child exploitation cases… says agents are being pulled off investigations into predators, to go round up immigrants instead. He says it outright: The government is “letting legit criminal investigations go by the wayside.” Why? Because leadership is demanding numbers, and they don’t care who. He explains that with policies pushed by Stephen Miller, agents are being forced to work hand in hand with ERO to hit immigration quotas, instead of doing the job they were trained for. And the number of agents being reallocated are staggering… Out of a child exploitation unit of 8 to 10 agents, 6 to 7 are reassigned… leaving just two agents to investigate crimes against children. So, while DHS goes on TV claiming these immigration surges are helping fight crime, protect Americans, and cracking down on predators… Their own agents are saying the exact opposite. They’re not going after the “worst of the worst”… they’re stripping resources from the very investigations designed to find them. And while agents are busy chasing quotas, real predators are left to continue preying on children. And here’s where it gets even darker… We’ve seen with the Epstein files: abuse is ignored, predators are protected, and investigations are stalled, while children continued to be trafficked… But now, under Donald Trump, this isn’t just negligence… it’s a government-run operation. Agents are pulled from investigating real predators to hunt parents and children… children who are then trapped in detention centers where the government profits off their captivity. Meanwhile, the kids, who are U.S. citizens, are separated from their parents, and left exposed to trafficking and abuse. The system that claims to protect children is, in fact, exploiting them.

Legitimizing abuse as a “viewpoint” is quite the fucking choice. Confirming again why I stopped believing law was going to save us back in 2020.

If you are clinging to a faith that tells you to scapegoat whole groups of people, you don’t get to lecture me about Star Trek 🖖🏼 Each of us have to overcome our biases and superiority complexes to arrive at any “objective” opinion…and my “faith” believes in this:

Presumptions of superiority & “correctness” are uninteresting…especially in Star Trek discussions. There is “correct” when it comes to what a certain starship class or alien is called. But not when it comes to whether something is “good” or “enough”. We are ALL biased 🖖🏼

@lamawithagun @DaveBlass @andyweirauthor @Alex_Kurtzman I care about having honest conversations about how personal biases creep into these pronouncements of “correct” vs “incorrect” opinions. When you’re capable of dissecting the underlying assumptions that drive these opinions, I’m in. But this asshattery isn’t worth it

@SharpSweetBella @DaveBlass @andyweirauthor @Alex_Kurtzman Apparently you care very much - you're continuing the be wrong all over my comment. - maybe careless? or try harder? your choice.

From @andyweirauthor to @Alex_Kurtzman

@lamawithagun @DaveBlass @andyweirauthor @Alex_Kurtzman And yet you remain unpersuasive 🤷🏻‍♀️ You have yet to convince me to take you seriously enough to care

@SharpSweetBella @DaveBlass @andyweirauthor @Alex_Kurtzman Your comment is so functionally incorrect idk where to start correcting you first.

@lamawithagun @DaveBlass @andyweirauthor @Alex_Kurtzman No, the bottom line is both of you have an opinion that is neither correct nor incorrect - it’s just an anecdotal statement of your values, life experience & biases 🤷🏻‍♀️ nothing you’ve written here or that he said there is persuasive, informative or interesting

@DaveBlass @andyweirauthor @Alex_Kurtzman Mean and wrong are not the same thing - bottom line Weir was correct in his assessment of trek and that kurtzman would be so frail that he needs an apology is why trek is currently written so poorly.

We need a data dividend to keep these companies in check so at least if they profit off our data, we get a share of those profits.

@Suzierizzo1 It was always the plan 😣

The Trump Administration is going along with Project 2025 just like we said they would & now they’re going to dismantle TSA just like it says they will on Page 159 chapter 5.This was the plan all along & a lot of TSA workers have been claiming that’s what Republicans are doing.

@scottsantens Love this very Jesuit take on UBI. Making me so proud of my Loyola degree.

"We must ask ourselves if our current and impending economic structures still serve the common good, or if a new social contract is required to ensure that technological progress does not come at the expense of human dignity." UBI + LVT + Tobin = 🎯 americamagazine.org/short-take/202…

The peace of being able to leave a conversation in this space is one of the few things that I appreciate about Twitter.

@devmobnow @scottsantens Said exactly like someone who knows their arguments lack any substance, integrity or confidence. 😘

@SharpSweetBella @scottsantens lol

We should have started a universal basic income back in 1975, and it should have grown this entire time in line with national productivity growth. My latest: ieet.substack.com/p/universal-ba…

I love that this Jesuit magazine covered this. “in the world of economics, crises take longer to happen than we can possibly imagine, but when they do come, they happen much faster than we could possibly imagine”
