Just why? Because the new one has become part of signs of resisting authoritarian policies. Wtf people.

Which activists,exactly? No one I know. Why on earth would I return to a store that has done nothing to earn back my business?

I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty it is a skill developed out of necessity and it never leaves you

by @hcrichardson.bsky.social “Eisenhower recognized that economically dispossessed people were natural targets for political and religious extremists. They could easily be manipulated to back any cause—that promised to resurrect a world in which they had enjoyed prosperity and cultural significance”

The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.

For the first time, the Minnesota Disability Law Center set out to document seclusion rooms, photographing more than 80. The 50 school districts maintain 194 registered seclusion rooms across 100 school buildings across Minnesota, according to the records. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/11/r...

Ok, it got better than this being followed by The Cure & Massive Attack, I got @themountaingoats.bsky.social Foreign Object. Today is whole mood. I do love how music makes life better. Even classical… looking at you Chalemet…

I was having a horrible day at work (still am actually) and this comes on my station on Apple Music. It’s very hard to sit and fine while listening to Vanilla Ice sing “Go ninja, go ninja, go..” Also, I named mg headphone Beet Red…

Good morning! Yes, this is he

The images suggest that precision munitions struck other buildings, including a clinic that was also inside the complex. n.pr/4suyWcZ

War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there

Well I don’t love that

BREAKING: As I was first to report earlier, Trump has nominated Bradford Wilson, who does not meet the statutory requirements—which include that the nominee be nonpartisan and professionally qualified—to be the next Archivist of the United States. lastcampaign.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

The government illegally took your money. They won’t give it back.

Those who live in glass concentration camps shouldn’t throw stones.

And yet they are trying to say they are against fraud. That statue would be vandalized so fast.

There is currently no robust organizing effort focused on demanding mass firings and prepared with a plan to make it happen. Such an effort has to contend with the question of what to do with thousands of people from an unaccountable paramilitary who will be unemployed.

Star Fleet Academy made me cry. It’s so good.

We. Should. Not. Jail. Children. Period.

That's the reboot that we need with Jamie Lee Curtis. The Dark Side of Jessica Fletcher. Recreate every single episode ever made of Murder, She Wrote but instead do it from the perspective of Jessica committing the crime and how she got away with it. It would be brilliant.

Vouch

Donald Trump is scheming new ways to keep YOUR MONEY that he stole with his illegal tariffs.

And Scandinavia is the stingy part. Bwahahaaa

Losing your license in the US, where even in most major metros we have fuck-all for usable public transit, is such a life-ruining event that we’re reluctant to do it to people who have multiple DUIs, but it can happen now because the gov changed their minds about the license they issued being valid.

It’s not just science & academics. It’s tech too. I was told by a VP once that women just didn’t want senior technical roles, as to why there weren’t any in them. It wasn’t that we didn’t want them, it’s that they didn’t want us. He’s gone, but I know there are still so many that think like that.

I see this and I think about how code has the bias of the coder. I think about how this administration has gutted things to counter misogyny. And how much women in STEM at all levels have suffered because of Epstein & Trump. As a woman in STEM Im hurt & angry. 19thnews.org/2026/02/epst...

Cavewoman fell into some ice in 2018 and was defrosted by scientists in 2026 so she could run for state senate.

We all need this dopamine.

My takeaway from the State of the Union is that Ilhan Omar is the best of what this country could be, and Donald Trump is the worst of what this country actually is, and the juxtaposition between where we are and where we need to go is striking.

It’s fun how this info comes on the heels of Hegseth ordering his minions to use AI and then threatening Anthropic with consequences unless they give the military unrestricted use of their AI.

I think it's bad that the man, who is also the GM of the Minnesota Wild, would invite the FBI Director, who is actively part of the the federal governments coverup of two murders of Minnesotans, into the locker room to party.

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

This is Bailey. He wants to be picked up and put on the bed. Could just jump, but prefers this method. 12/10 (TT: screamingbailey8)

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing. everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

One of my favorite and relatively unknown Tom Petty songs.

USians as a culture are inherently racist (sorry if you aren’t but that’s how it’s viewed), especially to allies like Mexico. Traditionally Mexican social media keeps to itself in Spanish so it doesn’t even have an opportunity to correct US lies or disinformation. Yesterday’s operation changed that.

Reminder: non-Black people don’t get to dictate how Black folks respond to the n-word. Period.

Between this and the Andrew story I have woken up all (pauses to look up _sensu strictu_ of 'Jacobin') bloodthirsty revolutionary this morning. Good thing there's a travel ban. (goes to see if there's still a travel ban, and anyway, what did it signify?)

These people have no clue that payback is a bitch… and Trumps out in 3 years deadline.com/2026/02/trum...

Adopting that rhetorical frames of the authoritarians basically concedes the culture before you’ve even said a word. The “jokey” -maxxing shit gives them power, and the same was true with -pilled and all the rest over the last decade. You don’t have to believe me; the Nazis are memeing their crimes.

The fascist right will *literally kill people* over the idea of voluntarily using more thoughtful and inclusive language, and yet folks on the left are constantly tripping over themselves to adopt the latest garbage terms coined by the worst rape apologists in the world, I will never understand it

Part of why I am insistent that public libraries must be expanded is because they can offer us a foundation for unleashing creativity and for nurturing imagination. This is an affirmative project at a time when we desperately need to be FOR things and not just against them.
