A US or Israeli strike hit an elementary girl’s school in Minab, a city located in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran, murdering at least 40 students. Parents seen distraught searching through the rubble. (No video since not for entertainment and too distressing)

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's residential compound in Tehran completely destroyed, his whereabouts are unknown and no proof of life yet. All civilian staff likely dead.

A right-wing bot operation illegally forged tens of thousands of people's signatures to fake opposition against the Millionaires Tax. For example, a "Becky Merritt", who didn’t sign her name when the #WALeg Senate voted on the tax, but signed in "Con" 99 TIMES in the House 🤔

You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care about this for your own personal safety First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Just found this little girl sleeping on her sister.

It's still Caturday here.

Not a single #WALeg Republican could find their spine to vote against masked secret police invading our state. They hate our freedom and want to take it away just like their MAGA allies in the federal GOP.

Look if Minnesota is the hub then it's a Purple Revolution.

The bill to unmask ICE and ban face coverings by law enforcement in Washington is up for its final vote in the #WALeg Senate. All GOP amendments have been defeated or withdrawn.

Heads up everyone, it’s not just Minnesota. These fuckers are still doing their fascist bullshit across the nation.

Lots of NC/SC people on Facebook upset with meteorologists that we didn't have a devastating ice storm as predicted. Sorry to hear you'll have heat when it's 5°F? Sorry you can cook your family a hot meal? Sorry you've got running water? Sorry a tree didn't fall through your bedroom?

Here's @kare11.bsky.social report: www.kare11.com/article/news...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

We’ve been living inside a 5 alarm fire for a decade. Fighting fascism is the most important thing any of us will ever do. But if you don’t allow yourself to carve out a few minutes a day for joy or simple pleasures you’re not gonna make it.

Snowpack in Washington and Oregon is so bad that a normal February and March would result in a recovery to just the ~10th percentile of historical years. More in the CZ blog... theconvergencezone.com/2026/01/19/p...

Fantastic photo from Phil Laybourne capturing the moment a Red Deer steps on some Lego.

Surely this will be more useful than pics in dms 👀

"No."

Thank you to @SeattleIndivisible for organizing today’s ICE Out vigil, and thank you to everyone who showed up to grieve for Renee Nicole Good and for all those living in fear because of ICE’s actions. As King County Executive, here are my commitments.

Reminder: For every one ICE employee, there are over sixteen thousand Americans. That's 16,000 of us against every single 1 ICE employee. Welcome to the Second American Revolution. This regime doesn't have the numbers. Or the "cards."

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

FINALLY! 😀 As long as, and with this state's legislature I have decently high hopes, a broad income tax was not worked in. It's been talked about before, but everyone here already pays enough in sales & property taxes without being penalised for making enough to just get by.

An important reminder that the Pacific Northwest does in fact get tornadoes! Dangerous ones!

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

America, where you can't go out for a couple hours without the president doing some crazy ass shit while you're offline.

Opened Fred Meyer's site (I assume it's the same on all Kroger overlord chains) to see "Let our new AI Meal Assistant make your holiday season even easier" We're in hell, and hell has uncomfortably weird things.

#BREAKING: New drone video from Pacific, WA, on Tuesday morning following a levee failure on the White River at Pacific City Park. Whole neighborhoods are underwater as water continues flowing out of the failed levee. #wawx #flood #drone

Latest Skagit River forecasts are just shocking. The NOAA model now has the river cresting 4-5 FEET over RECORD flood stages there at Monroe and Concrete. A minor saving grace is it seems the river is running a little behind the forecast curve but still :O #wawx

A huge night for Democrats: —They flip Miami's mayorship. —They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%. —They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council. —And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

I looked all over the house for her last night.

Snoqualmie Falls is going CRAZY right now! Water levels are currently at 17.8 feet, the highest at the falls in 10 years! #wawx

Three arrested as Hong Kong high-rise inferno leaves 36 dead and hundreds missing

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership. All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

This morning I got the honour of paying very substantial tariffs on a couple cases of containers (which my company has been importing from the same manufacturer for years). I may need a picture of Tiny Tim proclaiming before his untimely death, "I can feel the economy getting stronger every day!"

Congratulations, Kit!! 😃

Comment period ends Dec. 1: Stop Trump Admin’s H2A wage changes that could drastically reduce wages and jobs for US workers. Sign on today and say “NO” to slashing wages for farm workers. act.seiu.org/a/h2awagecom... #WeFeedYou

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Not bad for a few quick shots from the house in Bernalillo NM at 35.3°N. #aurora

MEMPHIS, TN AURORA RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Amazing!! Got to see naked eye visible #aurora from Federal Way, WA…in the light polluted Seattle metro area! Shots from iPhone 15! #wawx
