The United States β€” ALL of it

Reminder that Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianas, American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands and DC don’t have actual representation in congress and only DC can vote for President even though over 5 million people live in these areas

They drill β€œno taxation without representation” into our heads like it’s why the country exists… and then omit the fact that allllllll of those people pay taxes and have no say in their government.

Make them all states or give them sovereignty, depending on what they want. None of this territory colonial imperialist bullshit.

A state judge in Boston has dismissed a case against a man who was taken into federal custody in the middle of his criminal trial last week, citing prosecutorial misconduct, and found a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in contempt of court.

"This is a disturbing case. This is a case of obstruction of justice. It's a case of violating a defendant's right to be present at trial and confront witnesses against him. Couldn't be more serious," Boston Municipal Court Judge Mark Summerville said at the heated three-hour hearing.

Voting in every goddamn election out there matters. Anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something. And it is usually an ideology that will get you even more fucked than you would be under what passes, albeit less and less every day, for a democracy. If Wisconsin had voted like this in November...things would be different. But alas, better late than never. Even if it's way too fucking late.

If he is convicted, this will be judicial murder on a level not seen in the US since the Haymarket Martyrs or Joe Hill.

This dichotomy is reprehensible. Is not a life a life? How does one weigh the value of one as greater than another? Race, sex, ethnicity, creed, eye color, hair color, BMI, age, tobacco use, medical diagnosis.... None of these things make one life more meaningful than another. And dishonor upon the ancestors of any human who believes as much.

It's almost like Texas is fine with folks murdering brown people but the government is terrified that other folks might rise up and follow the example of the Claims Adjuster (who may or may not be Luigi). But that would be an utter mockery of the rule of law in this country. One of Texas's favorite things is executing people, but apparently they like race war more, so...now we know that, again.

They’re scared because they know that the public is with Luigi.

They’re violating his rights because they need to maintain capitalism.

Keep talking about Luigi.

β€œThe dossier adds that the public β€˜may view the ensuing manhunt and subsequent arrest of Mangione as NYPD, and largely policing as a whole, as a tool that is willing to expend massive resources to protect the wealthy, while the average citizen is left to their own means for personal security.’”

"They might see what is objectively true."

reminder that luigi is innocent and there is bo evidence and yet he is facing the death penalty

NJ Democrat senator Cory Booker takes the floor in protest of Trump/Musk, "saying that he will keep going β€œ'as long as I am physically able'.”

β€œI rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker said at the outset of his remarks. β€œI rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.”

β€œIn just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy. β€œThese are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.” -source

I am posting this at 2:30am EST. He has been speaking since 7PM EST. This link (at this moment) is to a live stream.

FUCK YEAH, JERSEY!

So very proud of my state at the moment.

Reblogging and adding the livestream link from Senator Booker's YouTube (the other one was glitching) . It is almost 4am. He is still going STRONG. If you are watching and plan to go to sleep, turn the volume down and leave it up so that the "watching" number reflects the involvement of people supporting him.

If he can LITERALLY stand and protest as a single voice, we can keep it playing and symbolically stand with him.

Senator Booker is on Hour 13 and going STRONG

Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. No business as usual! Slow the Fascists down! He should get some Democrat colleagues to join him so they can periodically cede to each other and spell each other off to keep it up longer!

STILL GOING! If you can open up the livestream to show support.

Folks, he's still going - and importantly, he's talking about his own shortcomings, his own failures and the things he wants to do better because he knows he fucked up the last time.

If your disdain for Democrats has been rooted largely in their reluctance to meet the moment, then I heartily encourage you to watch the livestream β€” other Democratic senators are asking long-winded "questions (which is part of the rules and allows Booker to take the occasional break for a drink of water or to rest his feet or whatnot) and helping however they can.

Booker's going to hit 24 hours at 7 pm and it's worth watching a few minutes, don't you think?

honestly kudos to Elementary for gender swapping John Watson in what we all thought was an attempt to make johnlock palatable to the masses and then proceeding to not only make them entirely platonic but also become the ONLY modern adaptation where i actually feel like them being platonic makes complete sense

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

Adding that to yet another reason that local Tesla repair center is so slammed all the time. There's protests in front of it every so often.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

i wisely turned off the notes on this when it was at 700 but oh my god stop telling me what you "just" use it for in the notes shut the fuck up shut the fuck up I AM NOT A CATHOLIC PRIEST, I DO NOT ABSOLVE YOU. WRITE YOUR OWN EMAILS.
