There may well be active duty troops in the Middle East right now who have family members locked in ICE jails. Congress authorized Military Parole-in-Place specifically to avoid this situation. But the Trump admin has shown little care to families caught in this situation.

"President Donald Trump’s administration has detained dozens of parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. troops as it rolls back immigration protections for military families to pursue its mass deportation agenda." https://bit.ly/4br4M4m

James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

What if they renamed NY Penn station after Senator Hillary Clinton

McMorrowites, your mission is clear: implement RCV in Michigan, at minimum for primaries.

The question isn't "did the Trojan horse violate xenia as understood or practiced by the Ancient Greeks?" it's "what happens when we decide that winning justifies breaking our most sacred taboos?"

The real reason I've seen enough:

I’m gonna be so for real if I can for a minute: I don’t really give a shit who wins the Michigan Senate primary at this point because I live in New Jersey

Look, electability is kind of a joke in this environment, particularly in a pretty purple state like Michigan This is just everyone projecting about their preferred direction of the national Dem party onto a contest in Michigan

the conflict is basically sectarian in the same way that like northern ireland is but lets be real you are not going to understand the UDF or the PIRA by reading theology

I Fought a sectarian war. Sectarianism = Catholic vs Prod, Shia vs Sunni. Critiquing a white English grifter for a political IDF shirt isn't religious hate—it's political. Attacking Zionism a religious theology isn't attacking Jews. Nothing sectarian in this post about a racist & his Genocide Army

Someone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷‍♀️

Just saw a video of Abdul el Sayed speaking and wow is he better at doing the Obama voice than Josh Shapiro is

This guy's nationality is clearly New Jersey and that does actually make him better than pretty much everyone else. Complete AI fail lmao

Other videos depict foreigners as arrogant, entitled, and aggressive bullies who believe their nationality places them above Chinese rules. These videos mostly feature white people, but sometimes also Black, Indian, or Japanese characters.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

I try not to fall in love but you know Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg

I got a breakthrough in something and I am relieved

I do want to see NYT profiles like "in this Long Island bagel shop, moms who supported Trump because of Kennedy are concerned he sold out their water supply"

New York State of Good Repair@ludmirdevotee.bsky.social · 2d ago

How many people who voted for Trump because of Bobby Kennedy's idiot son have turned on him because of the absolute gutting of the EPA in this administration? Kennedy is still focused on the importance of using animal products or whatever while our air gets worse

Bring back this energy plz

Also true. We’re a party of ‘pick me I’m not like other Democrats’ and Republicans are a party of ‘hell yeah I’m a conservative republican”

I used to be hot and fuckable but I think what happened is that I became even hotter and now I'm too hot to fuck

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Donate to the candidates on the front lines of the fight against MAGA gerrymandering

These are anti-MAGA state candidates in *extremely* close races

This is especially true on the left or left liberal end where a lot of people have fried their own brains on a litany of bigotries in order to justify being for the idea of the border regime, something that is younger than modern liberalism or republicanism and arguably younger than Marxism.

Ursula here is no longer just an old bitch who wants to fuck people over, she’s a deeply damaged queer elder who struggles to believe that queer joy can exist without cruel sacrifice

A lot of this discourse could be avoided by internalizing the maxim "people like different things for different reasons."

I've come to the conclusion that the correct time to go to the Caucasus was in 1970-1989 as a Soviet citizen, but the second best time to go is now.

Name a villain who was actually right.

As a New York Mets fan I often watch a game and go "what the hell was that, man" But as a newly minted New York Heights fan it is now my pleasure to watch a game and go "what the hell was that, WOMAN"

We're so back

Imo the decline of third places is tangled up with a bunch of things related to capitalism but aren't only about making money, such as the rise of privacy and greater geographic mobility and the decline of traditional communities and the turn to virtual rather than physical interaction.

I'm watching the John Oliver on Trump's crypto exploits and I really don't know shit about crypto but it does seem like this whole thing just exists for corruption and to buy heroin

Do you know how annoying it is to have difficulty pronouncing "shibboleth" correctly
