Over the holidays I played Legos with my 4-year-old nephew and I watched him round up all the sparkly crystalline bricks while whispering to himself “Beautiful. Beautiful. Only beautiful things” and this has become a permanent part of my lexicon

There are two types of entries in my Notes app

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

I just tried to write “2030” as the date and scared the shit out of myself

Wow wow Scarlet Morning won the Libby Award for best middle grade??? I love you librarians, I love you so much 😭💖🏴‍☠️

Cis people never show the slightest love to effeminate men or butch women, except when someone wants to transition, and then suddenly they just love them.

Why the fuck does a driver's license need a sex marker on it in the first place

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

I want only to haunt you, but you’re never there

Pokeymans are back. Here’s Arceus (courtesy of @katyfarina.bsky.social’s description)

One day left to binge She-Ra on Netflix.

Britches and Chagrinia Hornibrook noticed you across the bar and you really hate their vibe

One of these things on our roof has been squeaking nonstop in the wind so I looked it up and apparently its official name is a WHIRLYBIRD. I’ve been kept up all night by one of Peter Pan’s fuckin friends????

“All children held in immigration detention should be immediately released, and these facilities should be permanently shuttered.”

Painting your office your favorite colors is highly medicinal

tell it to the hague, buddy

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

HOOOOOO boy. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.): "Do you consider yourself a religious man?" Lyons: "Yes ma'am." McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?" "Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?"

We aren’t resting until ICE is out of MN. We aren’t stopping until ICE is completely abolished. They want us to bend the knee so they can continue separating families, but we won’t be doing that. We’re going to win, and it’s bc of the resiliency of our neighbors. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Here are all my #hourlycomicsday from yesterday!

HOURLY COMICS 2026 WE’RE DOING IT

Time for some 34 year old tweets! When you start getting to the bottom of the Tums bottle and it’s only cherry Tums left 😔

I know that they will always do the cruelest thing and the most racist thing, but the extent to which these particular fuckers will also do the stupidest thing. Fire up the phones. Make every fucking member of the GOP own this. Fuck them.

Scarlet Morning is a finalist for the 2026 Libby Book Awards 💖 THANK YOU LIBRARIANS I LOVE YOU people.com/2026-libby-b...

Folks outside of Minnesota: Looking for how you can support Latino small businesses in Minneapolis? Here you go.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

I turned my nose up at Interview with the Vampire at first because I thought I didn’t like vampires or first person narration (interviews) but I was wrong! I WAS WRONG

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

“It’s worse than people think,” said attorney Eric Lee, who tried to visit clients at Dilley on Saturday. “The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”

This administration is stark raving mad, and it is controlled by men - Vance, Miller, Bovino - are all-but-publicly taking orders from neo-Nazis bent on violent removal of nonwhite Americans. The admin barely hides many of these links. And it is driving a campaign of ethnic violence in our country.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House. They have rushed it to the Senate for passage. If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk. Live here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzwe...

every time someone has asked me the last week or so about priorities it is rental assistance. please please please people need rent to stay in their homes. scroll down to rent relief funds and pick something www.standwithminnesota.com

Friends, I recommend you ALL get on the phones and or send emails first thing tomorrow telling @democrats.senate.gov NO FUNDING FOR ICE. NONE. They are, per Chris Coons, planning to negotiate body cameras. This willl not change the violence, the invasions of our cities.

here's a great way to show up for Minneapolis families sheltering in place! it can be hard to sort through a zillion donation links but this fundraiser is confirmed “verified, urgent, and there’s a secure distribution plan in place” and is also, bonus, tax-deductible gofund.me/3a8673ee3

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

Okay sorry one more shot:

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism. www.jphilll.com/p/the-first-...

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

You can check out my review of Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social over on the @childrensbooksireland.ie website. Hugely imaginative with a creative blend of illustration and text. childrensbooksireland.ie/our-recommen... #YAFantasy #MGFantasy #Adventure #Pirates #BookSky #SpéirGhorm

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota
