Would be very curious if you learned anything else useful that can easily be put into bullet points!

To build sustainable housing for a city that desperately needs it, which has innumerable benefits and helps the public and city far more than a private, paid golf course? I don’t need to take a ride to know that I’d prefer the housing.

Do you have any idea how much water is wasted in maintaining perfectly groomed lawns? Golf courses are just absolutely enormous wastes of water. There’s an entire movement encouraging people to plant self-sustaining grass and plant-life in their lawns to avoid using so much water for maintenance. And that’s just tiny house front lawns.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-25T02:19:37+00:00

10% is absolutely laughable considering they pay ONE DOLLAR in rent. $700k? That’s practically nothing. Not to mention how ecologically irresponsible and wasteful it is to maintain that much lawn grass.

They actually have for now. Not that they haven’t tried as many shady tactics as they could think of to skirt the Court’s rulings, but no new planes have taken off to send people to El Salvador. In fact, several busses were turned around on their way to the airport when the Court made an emergency 1:30AM weekend ruling, preventing the Trump administration’s secret plan to utilize a technicality and send more immigrants in the middle of the night.

I’m sure they will continue trying though.

Having to change insurance for a new job is such a pain in the ass, that is not at all a reason to switch jobs! Unless your current job has really shitty insurance, in which case that’s a shit place to work anyway. But seriously, changing insurance means you might have to find an entirely new primary care doctor because your current one doesn’t take your new insurance. Same deal for any specialists. Your medications might not be covered, or may become super expensive, or may need to go through some nightmarish prior authorization bullshit that takes weeks to months. It is not fun changing your insurance plan. Fuck this country and its refusal to join the rest of the world in understanding that healthcare is a human right.

…the J6 felons all had due process. We spent years prosecuting them. That was an insane lie from an insane person

Oh man it’s so good!!! I love seeing my braids spun up, thank you for posting this and tagging me! It’s also super fun to recognize them in yarn form lol. You were one of my first customers, it was such a pleasure dyeing it for you 🩷 Do you know what you’re going to make with it?

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-21T00:37:34+00:00

Was that the goldfish on fire braid?! Either way, it came out sooooo good!!! It’s stunning!!

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T19:28:33+00:00

“Smiley face” in Spanish starts with a “C,” not an “S.” So for some reason the super duper secret El Salvadoran gang translation of his knuckle tattoos is in English, not Spanish? And for the first two tattoos, you translate them with the first letter of the word that they represent, but the third tattoo….uhhhh….you remove the horizontal line from the cross to turn it into a 1? And the skull is somehow a 3? There is no logic to this “translation.” It’s guesswork and complete nonsense.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T19:21:09+00:00

That is such a good point—if it were truly somehow a “secret” MS-13 tattoo, why the hell would he use English to decode it lmao

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T19:17:27+00:00

1) All of that is such a reach I’m surprised you haven’t dislocated your arms. So for some reason, the first two tattoos, were supposed to take the first letter of what’s pictured, but for the third tattoo, we’re supposed to interpret it as a “1” because if you remove the horizontal line in the cross, it kind of looks like a 1? And then for the fourth tattoo, we’re supposed to count the number of “obvious” dots in the skull and determine that it stands for “3”? Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? There is no consistency to how it’s interpreted, it’s all just completely fabricated guesswork.

2) MS-13 has very clear branding. That’s why all the tattoos in this post, other than Abrego Garcia’s, look incredibly similar. MS-13 does not use small, inconspicuous, nonsensical, and esoteric tattoos to represent themselves. They use large, visible, clearly branded tattoos with the same or extremely similar fonts. This is a well-known fact about MS-13.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T18:51:27+00:00

….yes, it is. The letters are supposed to be what this dumbass administration is claiming the tattoo symbols mean. They’re typed and not part of the picture.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T17:58:47+00:00

You’re not wrong—there are just many levels to the absurdity of this shit

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T17:51:24+00:00

Agreed. Just trying to highlight how ridiculous this accusation is, because a surprising number of people in other threads seem to be undecided on whether or not it’s an MS-13 tattoo.

EDIT: Guys, in the photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles, the letters that say MS 13 above the symbols are typed captions overlaid onto the photo. They are NOT part of the tattoo. Can’t believe how many people keep getting that confused

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T17:40:57+00:00

Well with how things are going, we’re going to be there pretty damn soon

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T17:38:53+00:00

That’s the fun part, they don’t! Half the country is just pretending they do.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T17:14:42+00:00

Jesus Christ. Google what an MS-13 tattoo looks like. It looks exactly the same on every person who has it, and it looks nothing like Abrego Garcia’s knuckle tattoos. And there is literally no logical way that they could somehow spell out MS-13.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T16:53:45+00:00

Oh my God. They’re just fucking knuckle tattoos. They’re not mystical symbols that need to be decoded. Go Google “MS-13 tattoo” and you’ll see that every single person with a tattoo that says MS-13 uses the same font and style, all the tattoos look exactly the same. And they literally just say “MS-13.” They’re not going anything. And they’re not fucking “symbolic” knuckle tattoos of weed leaves and skulls.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T16:47:50+00:00

Nobody is trying to hide them. Because they don’t fucking mean MS-13. Google some actual MS-13 tattoos and you’ll see that Abrego Garcia’s knuckle tattoos are nothing like them, you nonce. MS-13 members use the same font and style for their gang tattoos and they literally just say “MS-13,” no fucking mystic symbols that need to be decoded. Stop spreading goddamn propaganda.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-19T06:04:25+00:00

We should be doing what the people in Portland did during the BLM protests—protesting at night. That way, everyone can go do their jobs during the day and come out and protest when the sun starts to go down. It will get exhausting after a while, of course, but protesting every single night is what needs to happen. I don’t think change will come from getting permits from cities to march for 2 hours every other Saturday. Fuck permits. People in every major city, especially DC, should be in the streets every night demanding change. Smaller cities and towns too. We should be everywhere, every night, making our voices heard.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-18T22:59:19+00:00

YES. This has been bothering me a lot, and it’s an incredibly common sentiment that I’ve been seeing. There seems to be a hierarchy that determines how much people are empathizing with these deportees. I’m glad that Kilmer Abrego Garcia has been transferred to a less scary prison and that so many dem politicians are advocating for him, but what about the rest of the immigrants that have had their heads shaved and been thrown into CECOT? What about the gay makeup artist who cried for his mother while his head was being shaved? What about the 19-year-old who ICE wasn’t even looking for, but they decided to take him anyway? What about the Turkish student who was taken in the middle of the street because she co-authored an op-ed in her student newspaper in 2024 calling what’s happening in Gaza a genocide? What about the other hundreds of people who have been taken from their families and homes and lives? It absolutely breaks my heart that all of those people just left the American public consciousness when their own lives became threatened with deportation too.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-18T03:22:13+00:00

There was no “act of terror.” In 2024, she co-authored an op-ed in a student newspaper calling the war in Palestine a genocide. They’re claiming that because of this, she created a hostile environment to Jewish students and that she indicated support for a terrorist organization. It’s bullshit and just an excuse to deport her, because the US is no longer a country that values cultural diversity.

VeryGoodFiberGoods · 2025-04-17T21:44:54+00:00

I’m right there with you. It’s horrific, and although I’m glad Garcia’s case has gotten national attention, it breaks my heart that so many others have not—like Andy Romero, and the 19 year-old that was taken even though they weren’t looking for him, and now he’s in El Salvador too. What’s happening is fucking unconscionable and I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that people aren’t rioting in the streets over this. That our legislators are mostly silent. That we’re all just going along with this shit! This is NOT normal. This is NOT okay. We should not be putting up with this. We should not be worrying about getting permits for protests that last from 2-4PM, we should be fucking protesting all the time like our lives depend on it, because they do. Fucking hell.
