Hey @LLBean , what the he-- is wrong with you?!
I regret every single thing I ever bought from you. The good news is, I won't touch your products ever again. Shame on you.

[ALF the Exasperated @Crainefish]

@Imani_Barbarin Governor of Illinois just did the same.

@DefectiveBecca We're still no-coviders, but I think he's right. No issues with any other smell or taste, but Halloween candy tastes weird this year (peanut MnMs in particular). I figured companies just don't have enough cheap chocolate due to global warming. Nutella and Lindt taste fine. 🤷🏻

@luv2read13 @Weapon_XReject Very sorry for your loss.

@peepeeLEpuke Please stop attacking turnips, they have a use...

He’s saying people are being held for over 30 days without being processed, denied phone calls, essentially kidnapped.

He asks people help this go viral & to contact news stations, the Human Rights Commission, and Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum.

@heymrsbond "Triggered adults cannot de-escalate triggered children." I might be paraphrasing.

[Alvaro Bedoya @BedoyaUSA]

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple. My full statement:

@MeganEDoherty Ah, crap, she's one of mine. I'll email and call tonight. What else?

[ALF the Exasperated @Crainefish]

@MeganEDoherty I'm in IL. Can still write emails tonight if it's not too late.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

[Emily A. The Spirit of Jezebel @emzorbit]

Do. Not. Come. Here. This woman had a return ticket to Berlin for February 15th, her German passport, a visa waiver. She is in ICE detention. Her friends couldn’t find her. Because ICE is detaining her, she missed her return flight to Germany.

Russia is a threat to America's interests, not to Trump's or Musk's. This distinction must now be embedded in any conversation about national security, as happens in every autocracy. Kissing up to Putin, destroying the Atlantic alliance, tanking the economy with tariffs, etc.

Picture:

"Corrupt foreigner keeps showing up to the White House lacking the respect to wear a suit but begging Americans to subsidize him forever"

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Yes. Some things are difficult and complicated. Some things are difficult, but simple. Trump openly supporting Putin‘s Russia is a difficult problem, but it’s not complicated. Even if we never know exactly what’s behind it, the reality is plain.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Vance is the looming threat because of this lack of moral base and his transparent will to power. Trump has his brownshirts, but he's a fading and cowardly old narcissist. It takes a Vance who will do anything for power to create the blackshirts that come in the final phase.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Rubio is a ghost, that's why there's no point in his looking in the mirror to see if there's any sense of shame left. Ghosts don't have a reflection.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Vance's smirk here annoys me bc respectability in dress is often used as a cudgel against the very people he supposedly champions: the marginalized, poor working classes. It's an idiotic, odious concept that's unevenly applied and often used to shame/ exclude people.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.

Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.
