The govt has fired *all* the immigration attorneys representing detained children and given a $150 million contract to a 26-employee law firm in Texas with ONE immigration attorney. @theyoungcenter.bsky.social's Child Advocates are now the last line of defense for kids in deportation hearings.
Amy Jo (AJ) Cousins@ajcousins.bsky.social · 6h agoWanna help? Become a Waymaker! We're running, walking, cycling 20,000 miles in September to raise money to get immigrant kids out of detention and back with family. Someone who kayaks to work is dedicating his miles to Waymakers! A salsa dance class is counting steps! It all counts! #BeAWaymaker
May I introduce my daughters, Makayla, Makenzie, and Macabre

you didn't go to war on any of those issues, you let republicans define the debate and cowered and begged no one to hurt you until activists dragged the party kicking and screaming into pretending you'd supported those issues all along
nyckaty132.bsky.social@nyckaty132.bsky.social · 2d agoTrue. But we’re also not going to war on social issues. It’s how we lose every single freaking time whether it’s gay wedding cakes or toilets.

Damn me, but all things are queer, come to think of ’em.

Welcome to blanket couch*, where you'll find all your blanket couch needs** *comes with dog, not optional **not pictured, blanket chair
I can't believe how nice the weather feels. Yesterday we got an extreme temperature warning and I was shocked. I'm spending so much time working and lounging outside and it's just gorgeous. I wish it didn't take me 40 years to learn that I'm a lizard
Woooooooah the biggest immediate change we gotta get used to again, is the UV rays! Two days in and my face has visibly changed color and I got flip flop tan lines
Going to try take it easy today. I don't think I have a choice, my body is starting to do the things it does when I ignore warning signs that I'm pushing it. That leads to me falling down a lot and usually hurting something, so maybe just haircuts and movie watching

Not incidentally, sex ed and social media, two of the big things the Think of the Children crowd want to restrict children's access to, are the first place a lot of kids encounter the concept that a person with nominal authority over you doesn't get to touch you without permission
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2d agoCan't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 2d agoThis past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town. The public hearing did not go well. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-i...
Sometimes I'll just block a random person. Nobody in particular, just a regular bastard I choose by chance
I don't notice they had mouths, I thought they were just strong arms and round asses
Guynemer@guynemer.bsky.social · 2d agothe thing about baseball players is that they should not be allowed to speak
A starry night walking home at the weekend reminded me of this fancy dress costume worn by Marjorie Merriweather Post in 1926, a dark sky chock full of beaded stars plus all of the sparkly accessories #HillwoodMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
