“In February, a 36-year-old man swallowed 20 over-the-counter pills. In March, a 37-year-old detainee ingested cleaning chemicals. Two weeks later, a 41-year-old man was found cutting himself.”
Caitlin Kelly@caitlinkelly.bsky.social · last yr.The details are horrifying—overcrowding, no beds, pregnant women going through crises, suicide attempts. I urge people to read the story and share it (and this one is in front of the paywall!) www.wired.com/story/ice-de...
Telling people their votes were stupid is never a good strategy for changing their future votes.
I’ve never been a big Bernie supporter, but the idea that his criticism of democrats has done more damage than our inability to tap into his popularity is one of the major reasons we’re in this fucking mess. Bernie didn’t beat us, we did that ourselves.
I just had the most “girl what” moment reading that
NEW: ICE carried out arrests at an L.A. courthouse this week, a long derided tactic many fear will chill witnesses from coming forward. Court officials say they were "absolutely blindsided." My latest: www.latimes.com/california/s...

the best part of this is that Ackman said he woke up depressed but then came up with this great idea, and the great idea is just to fund one of the other guys in the race
George Pearkes@peark.es · last yr.Lol he's pivoting to Adams, incredible.
It's very very funny when American news outlets panic over stuff like baby boxes which are very normal in other western countries (Like Scotland) as if its a brand new communist terror threat unheard of throughout the globe. 'FREE STUFF FOR BABIES???? LIKE STALIN????'

Here's a fun thing that a top donor to Andrew Cuomo's super PAC just told me.

“We had everything, the size of the cherries, we had the quality — perfect scenario," said Erik Zavala, director of field staff at Blue Bird, a growers co-op in Wenatchee, Washington. “Now, everybody's asking, 'What the hell happened? I mean, where are the pickers?'” www.kuow.org/stories/a-pe...
A 'perfect' season for Washington's sweet cherries turns sour because of deportation fears
It was supposed to be a banner year for Pacific Northwest cherries. Cherry production is estimated to be about 10% above last year’s, the fruit is high quality, and California’s shorter-than-usual sea...

hot commie summer is maybe the funniest thing to happen to US politics in the past decade
dude can you imagine waking up in jail and David the HGH Gnome is in the bunk below you because he threatened the host of Fear Factor

The Daily Beast@thedailybeast.bsky.social · last yr.Tom Homan says he has received so much hate for his positions on immigration that he is unable to live safely with his family.
I don’t think we should ignore the momentum and legitimate excitement among voters that came from seeing two candidates work together in a positive way. People are sick of narcissistic candidates who don’t know how much groceries cost. That’s the takeaway.

won't someone think of the rich
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · last yr.WATCH: “What about the rich? Do they get shot? It’s like they’re making Wall Streeters walk out onto the ice in the East River… class warfare… eat the rich.” @cnbc.com hosts Joe Kernen & jim cramer hilariously struggle to process Zohran’s win — made inevitable by the greed they exalt.
I thought the same thing, but realized he couldn’t deny it because, at least based on the facts in the WB complaint, it was said in a room full of people (who could potentially corroborate WB if this in incident were investigated). You could almost see him calculating the risk/reward of lying IRT
Owen Barcala@obarcala.bsky.social · last yr.You would hope that a circuit court nominee could at least deny it, rather than saying he can't recall whether he advised the administration to tell courts "fuck you"
