Holy shit.... Never Again Action (the group who started #JewsAgainstICE) had an ICE detention truck drive through them while they were shutting down Wayne Detention Center in Rhode Island this evening (August 14th).

[dravidarasathi]

Like they were holding the line across the entry gate and refusing to let night shift guards in and a massive truck just, fucking, drove up to them then slowed as the protestors got up from where they were sitting, alarmed, then the truck accelerated into people.

[dravidarasathi]

It doesn't seem like there are any serious injuries. The people who were around the truck after it stopped accelerating into people were pepper sprayed.

[dravidarasathi]

EDIT: Wyatt ICE Detention Center, not Wayne

SOURCE: Never Again Action's twitter livestream of the action and the car attack

[scottishwobbly]

The truck was driven by an ICE guard.

[corporatetwitteraccount]

As this information is publicly available, the law in the US does not consider this doxxing, which is why it was on twitter on the first place. Here's the guy.

[corporatetwitteraccount]

Its the same people. If you can stomach working for ICE its because you're a right-wing fascist. Same tactics, different day.

So my Dad and brother took separate cars to dinner tonight, and this happened.

[bowlingforwhoop]

they look like they are arguing about who is going to go home and change

[laureninlilly]

Oh, they were.

Jake: You’ve got to be kidding me Dad: You SAW me walk through the kitchen on my way to pick up your sister! Jake: No seriously do you have an extra shirt in your car this is ridiculous

[laureninlilly]

Oh my god they’re gonna kill me they didn’t want to even walk into the restaurant together let alone have this many people reblog this photo

[laureninlilly]

Honestly I’m not deleting my Tumblr solely in the hopes that this post one day hits 1 million notes

[roguemechanic]

Almost there lads, let’s get this post to a million.

Some good news.

[fuck-customers]

The next person who tries to correct me when I say “Happy Holidays” is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, “No, it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS.” I’m pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar’s boycotting butt, Karen.

[batzendrick-deactivated20230703]

My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the “War on Christmas” bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:

“Merry Christmas.” “Happy holidays.” “No. I said Merry Christmas.” “Do you know what Hanukkah is about?” “No, what?” “Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up and killed them. Happy Hanukkah.”

John Mulaney, a man who is iconically known for loving his wife, after being told by Jerry Seinfeld that his wife only thinks shes good at something

[jackironsides]

Well done OP, you’ve managed to capture the moment John’s spirit left his body

[ryrosryhoe]

Jerry’s lucky that John is too polite to throw hands

[bonepoem]

Okay but I just went and watched this for myself and it’s WORSE

He’s. So uncomfortable. It’s obvious. I cut out the part where John kind of muttered, “That is true, isn’t it” about how all men think they’re funny, but his face is just screwed up in this ‘oh god what have i done what have i signed up for this is not good and this will probably go into my next comedy special of awkwardness’

[jukebox-head]

Just watched this omg bless john bc jerry just keeps trying to do some “take my wife” bullshit and john very politely goes no, no.

[cryptiboy]

proud of John for restraining himself from murdering a man on camera

[wintersoldierfell]

What’s so horrifying about this to me is that this is literally Jerry Seinfeld trying to teach John Mulaney how to gaslight his wife.

Look at that dialogue. “She thinks she knows.” He’s trying to get Mulaney to see his wife’s expertise as instead a weird misperception. He’s coaching him to undercut his wife’s confidence in the truth and her own abilities.

And Mulaney replies exactly the right way: “She does know.” He asserts not only that she’s perceiving the world accurately, but that she is an expert at something he’s not good at.

Dudes, don’t take this shit from other dudes. Mulaney isn’t by any means perfect but he aced this. Stand for the truth. Defend women’s objectivity. Promote women’s expertise.

[randomthingsthatilike1]

Doesnt his wife also work with antiques too?like. Isnt that part of her actual job?

[thechy-fychannel]

I reblog this every time because I don’t think people understand that Anna is literally an interior designer. She makes absolutely stunning Victorian Lampshades. Which she designs.. for the interior of a home… she’s literally an interior designer. She doesn’t think she’s good at it, she knows she’s good at it because it’s her fucking job

[sushinfood]

this is so gross

good for you, mulaney

seriously

[badooney]

This show has really cool insights about comedy by people who do comedy, but unfortunately you have to sit through Jerry’s bad opinions to hear them. 

[feyrealms]

I agree john mulaney is probably an immortal akin to beings such as keanu reeves and jeff goldblum but he’s like a new born baby immortal who is looking at the long long expanse of a lifetime he has in front of him and is already tired

[newtgeiszler]

jeff golblum is thousands of years old and loving it. john mulaney was born in 1901 and ever since 1924 it’s gone downhill for him

[wombatking]

So to be clear, the immortal timeline seems to be:

John Mulaney - early 20th century

Eric Andre - Probably 17th century or so.

Taika Waititi - Elizabethan age, probably hung out with Shakespeare

Keanu Reeves - We think sometime around Alexander the Great, but he seems to have just sprung up fully formed.

Jeff Goldblum - 100% Biblical times, may or may not be King Solomon.

Tommy Wiseau - Indeterminate, may be the first Homo Sapiens.

[maltedmalaphors]

Correction:

Taika Waititi - Probably is Shakespeare

[insecurespice]

Angela Bassett is Hatsheput

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

With the money he spends on trips and golf DT could have solved Flint Michigan’s water crisis.

Must watch: Chris Hayes on 'despicable' new Trump policy

The United States government is now systematically taking children as young as 53 weeks old away from their parents at the border, thanks to new directives issued by the Trump administration.

I guess only white children are “precious gifts from god”

[heartandstride-deactivated20190]

The people blaming the parents in the notes for this are disgusting. 

[afunnyfeminist]

Anyone who feels anything less than compassion for these children and asylum seekers can deport their racist asses straight to hell.

[geekandmisandry]

This is, and should be recognised as, a human rights violation.

My favorite thing to do when someone asks me to perform a simple task is to say “No” while doing it

my friend: hey can you pass the salt

me, passing the salt and having a nice time with a good friend: haha no :p

that anime guy from the meme looking at the butterfly, who has suddenly burst into my house: is this abuse?

[boarcriminal-deactivated2018052]

if you’re a baby gay and this is your first pride, watch your drinks! men are trash across all sexualities

[mezzalunanova]

I know boys don’t get these talks so let me clarify:

This doesn’t just mean alcohol

Don’t accept any open drinks

After you get your unopened drink, you keep it in your site

You have to go to the bathroom so you leave your drink on a table? That drink is now dead to you.

You’ve been holding your drink way low out of your eyesight and people are crowding? That drink is now suspect.

Stay safe, babies

[cherrycoloredsky-archive]

Also: Rohypnol (a date rape drug) tastes VERY SALTY. If your drink is suddenly salty, STOP DRINKING IMMEDIATELY. 

[bigmouthlass]

Buddy system, y'all. If your friend is acting *way* drunker than they should, take them to an Urgent Care or ER. Date rape drugs can kill you.

[elusive-suggestions]

always rb

[coneybitch]

rb for the advice

[the-headless-vulcan]

don’t rely on taste, ppl could dissolve all kinds of drugs into ur drink so don’t accept drinks from anyone unless u see it made by the bartender in front of u and keep ur drink in your sight, if u have to leave it then gulp it down or throw it away

[uncommongenders-deactivated2021]

Pride season is coming up so please stay safe!!

[geekandmisandry]

If you are not feeling great don’t let a stranger take you outside. In fact, I know the allure of getting away from crowds when you’re sick is strong but stay where the people are.

Also watch out for each other. If someone is being suspect or you think someone is drugged alert security.

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle breaks down how much money the NRA has given to Republicans who talk about their “thoughts and prayers"—“The thoughts and prayers are with the victims. The dollars and cents are another story.”

[mediamattersforamerica]

Right after Parkland, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle laid out how much money the NRA has given to Republicans who talk about their “thoughts and prayers.” Watch it again.

“Jesus never called for his disciples to Christianize culture. To make every aspect of culture about Christianity, and to marginalize and minimize those who were not Christian. He didn’t even call us to convert everyone to a new religion called Christianity- that’s not what the Great Commission is all about. No, Jesus called us to go into the world and proclaim good news- news of liberating love for everyone- and to make disciples, or in other words, invite people to follow in the example of Jesus. To emulate the life Jesus lived and work to create the world he dreamed of. And did you know that you can do that without ever making someone a Christian? In fact, did you realize that when Jesus told his disciples to go into the world and preach the gospel, there was no such thing as Christianity- it didn’t exist. He wasn’t telling them to make people Christian. He also clearly wasn’t telling them to make people Jewish- we find that out in the Book of Acts. He wasn’t asking them to ask anyone to convert from their religion, or their culture, or their social setting. Rather, he invited everyone in every culture and context to embrace a path of self-sacrificial love for the good of their friends, neighbors and enemies.”

hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free

[cloudsinsummertime]

if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people

[daisto-deactivated20181027]

So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?

[cloudsinsummertime]

yes
