Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo
Added 2025-09-16 08:00:07 +0000 UTCPapers, please. The hallmark of fascist states of eras past and your favorite movie about authoritarianism is now also the official policy of the United States, with the Supreme Court’s blessing. But don’t worry, you (probably) won’t be stopped, unless you kinda look Hispanic or shop at Home Depot! I feel safer already.

This case has new life as multiple citizens have been arrested multiple times just for being brown. Really hoping they are able to realize class action status.

2025-10-09 15:58:40 +0000 UTCAdding to my previous observation of Peter and Rhiannon having the most adorable sibling energy… Micheal literally remembering and repeating something from the 1st episode of IBCK word to word is just so cute. Just so supportive clearly. I love how much I learn from the podcast, but the parasocial love I have for the bond between the three hosts is what Makes this a comfort podcast for me. Even the darkest episodes always has bits for me to smile with.

2025-09-20 18:56:09 +0000 UTCI don't understand your commitment to using the word "pussies" as an insult. Why not just say "babies"? Babies are literally immature, weak, whiny, easily frightened, and unable to put up a good defense of themselves. But, pussies? Not so much. "Pussies" is offensive only where femaleness is equated with babyish-ness. And using "pussies" this way only reinforces this idea.

2025-09-19 17:35:11 +0000 UTCIt’s okay if you don’t know if you have stocks, Rhi. I have stocks the same way that I have a nice breeze on a warm day. I know it’s there when I stop and think about it, but it has no idea I even exist. And someday, when humanity is long gone, all that will remain is that breeze on a warm day, my Halliburton shares, and Peter’s Patrick Mahomes NFT collection. And I think that’s beautiful.
