The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did.

We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

We love a #hammerhead embodying modern existential dread. Same, buddy. Same.

Just a Bermuda #Chub
Lookin like a predator's grub
Chowin down on mollusks, algae
And the occasional bug.

Working on a stunning collection of #hammerhead photo bombs, the most photogenic shark in the sea. And they know it.

One of my absolute best friends and I discuss our BMs like we discuss children we've had together and that's the power of female friendships.

Oh man, same! I feel so validated!
For someone with a heretofore irrational dislike of Ed Sheeran, today has been a meal.

Thinking about launching a Senate campaign where my platform is that I've never abused a child and never would, vote for me.

And then I'll begin the work of propagandizing the next generation of Americans into being queer nazi-beating commies, as god intended.

I hate "love languages" and think that whole school of thought is a school of idiocy but I do think contemporary relationships would have a better time if we brought that kind of individuated analysis to conflict. My conflict language is clash-of-a-titan and I need a titan who clashes back.

What is the German word for the kind of depression that requires the complete works of Uzo Aduba, stat?

This week I guess I turned 37 years old but I also don't think people who should be dead as many times over as me have birthdays? That seems correct.

I always retweet the good sister of shred
Remembering Sister Rosetta Tharpe, born in 1915 in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Here she's performing "Didn't It Rain" at a train depot in Manchester, England in 1964.

She's often called the "Godmother of Rock & Roll" and influenced future music icons like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley.

Sometimes when I'm up in the wee hours of the morning I think the male loneliness epidemic is the same thing I'm always struck by in the dating scene- there's a prfound and hollow self centeredness to the men of my generation so consistent one must explore the foundations of their upbringing.

Same but then I tried English food. Y-i-k-e-s
When I was there, I thought USA food was the worst I'd had.

Could we just have one tv channel that plays it happening over and over on a loop?
When he’s finally gone, I never want to see another clip, flashback, or picture of him ever again. Make it like he never existed.

As a gremlin with a protein deficiency, this man is 100% correct.
As a guy who *really* loves meat, society does not need this much protein. Why are you putting protein in a cinnamon roll? Why is it everywhere? I hate this fad. I want it to be over.

I, for one, have no remorse for luigi mangione's actions nor do I have sadness for the loved ones of the CEO pseudo-victim. Fuck his kids, fuck his spouse, fuck his parents, fuck his friends, and, most of all, fuck united health care and every mass murderer at their helm.

Anyone else seen Battleship Potemkin?
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight.

This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.
Not Just the Lincoln: Families Describe Human Waste, No Food, No End in Sight Across Multiple Ships
Since MeidasTouch began reporting on conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, messages have poured in to MeidasTouch from military families and service

Every time I meet someone with even a hint of surprise at the progressive whispers in places like Appalachia and the Rust Belt a fairy appears with a large wooden soap box and swallows fly overhead and unfurl a banner that says "the History of Labor in America and Why It Wasn't Taught."

My first wood project off the lathe and haha wow. It's made of discard pieces I found here and there, and I used it to gift two earrings I made. Fully aware many mistakes were made, but that's a good education. Love a first pancake.

Struggling with an overly emotional reaction to "repurposing" federal lands for data centers but my dad used to say "today you feel as bad as you need to and tomorrow you get up and try again." Just feels futile.

I got all my vaccinations including whooping cough but still got whooping cough as a teen because my classmates didn't get vaccinated against it and it overcame herd immunity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vaccines work.

If there’s a vaccine for it, I have been vaccinated.

So has my entire family.

None of us has developed the diseases we’ve been immunized against.

That’s exactly what vaccines are designed to do.

Dr. Fauci was a scientist working in an environment hostile to science.

Nobody wins.

Pretty sure the universe has no moral organizing force beyond the inexorable fall to entropy, but being chronically ill is like living with evangelical Christian God: A gigantic centipede skittering across the sky on countless horrifying legs, seeking happiness and gobbling it in its nightmare maw.
