- Reposted by Matt CollinsThe Trump era exposed how badly Congress erred over decades by granting the president emergency powers in certain situations while also making the president the one who decides when we’re in those situations. ICE can’t mask except when ICE’s boss says it’s necessary? Repeating that same mistake.

- Reposted by Matt CollinsNo heating, no hot water, dangerous conditions. All while Harris was lining his pockets at his tenants expense. Reform claim to be a break from the establishment but they're the same corrupt, self serving politicians who have been selling our country down the river for years.

- Reposted by Matt CollinsOne piece of advice i always want to give people (especially cis people) when news like this happens (which is often) is that maybe just see how your trans friends/family are doing. Just say "hey i saw this, how are you doing?" You might be surprsied how infrequently that happens for some of us

- Reposted by Matt CollinsThe UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

- The NSPCC thinks a social media ban for under 16s is a bad idea, and articulated it better than I ever could. www.nspcc.org.uk/about-us/new...
- Reposted by Matt CollinsThis is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
- MPs and Lords seem hellbent to ban social media for under 16s. The fact that so many are trying to rush it through just shows how little they understand about it’s effectiveness, the harm it’d cause teenagers, and harm it’s cause everyone by requiring regressive ID checks just to use social media.
- Reposted by Matt CollinsTrump: “We had a good speech. We got great reviews. I can't believe it. We got good reviews in that speech. Usually they say, ‘he's a horrible dictator type person.’ I'm a dictator. But sometimes you need a dictator. But they didn't say that in this case. And no, it's common sense.”
- So to be clear: ICE are an armed federal force with no accountability, no oversight, no identification, has unlimited power to stop and detain people, unlimited power to break into homes, is locking people in horrific conditions, and can assault and murder on camera with no investigation.
- Reposted by Matt Collins🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

- Reposted by Matt CollinsSo far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...
- Reposted by Matt CollinsThe Trump disbelief that the Norwegian govt doesn't control the Nobel process is deeply indicative of his thinking. He can't conceive that an institution could (or should) be genuinely independent of coercion or political power. That's the change he represents.
- This is a level of such extreme horror that I don’t even know how to begin to process it.
- I’m sick of reading headlines like this. He has absolutely said he’s willing to use force to seize Greenland. They keep laundering his words to make him seem more reasonable and cognisant. I hate it.

- Reposted by Matt CollinsI don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
- People who’ve watched Star Trek Academy, I have two questions: - Is it.. good? - How reliant is it on callbacks and references? I find the overly referential element to prior shows in modern Trek incredibly exhausting. Lower Decks only got a pass for me because it was a silly show ABOUT THAT.

- Reposted by Matt CollinsHaving seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
