And some people will try to insist you can only buy a snap-in genital that matches your gender assigned at birth. But I'm sure a lot of women will want a snap-in-cock just for the speed and convenience of peeing while standing. Many men will have secret snap-in vaginas.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

Chicago Alderman and Democrat Raymond Lopez tweets: “What a surprise - another Jew-hating @ChicagosMayor appointee trying to harass an elected official that is also Jewish. Are they going to sew 2025 badges on their clothes next?” He’s attached an image of a tweet from Stephanie Skora that reads: “Anyone know who else is part of this delegation?” Her tweet is quoting another from Chicago Alderman Debra Silverstein that reads: “Greetings from Israel. I have been abroad this week as part of a delegation of Chicago and Illinois elected officials. It was humbling to visit the site of the Nova festival massacre, where more than 300 innocent people were murdered by Hamas and 43 were taken hostage.

Broken record territory rapidly approaching, but once again: Homelessness is not a societal inevitability. It's a policy failure. This is a solvable issue with a known solution, even under capitalism, because that solution is less expensive than the current responses. We just don't want to do it.

Oh my god! We may need one of these! We have a cleaning brush we use on our tortoise. We just press it lightly on her back and she scrubs herself back and forth against it.. I feel guilty because we never seem to use it long enough or often enough for her.

ICE reportedly took 15 people in that Studio City car wash raid. But in their statement they claim they arrested 4 undocumented people. That means they rounded up as many as 11 legal residents who they had NO RIGHT to arrest bsky.app/profile/lata...

When the day finally comes, I can imagine a lot of close associates will hurriedly throw clothes, cash & jewels into suitcases and flee the country in fake beards and big sunglasses.
