it's probably a good sign for our democracy that every member of congress who has been in the secret epstein document room walks out saying stuff like "every powerful person in the country knew, they're all rapists and pedophiles, they should be tossed into a pit and crushed under boulders"

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?"

This is just one of many scenarios that would end this in as little as four swift moves. We are currently teetering at the precipice of oblivion.

My “I Did Not Pimp My Own Children to My Child Rapist Business Partner” t-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.

peter navarro this is god speaking. the smell of burning flesh is the smell of libs getting owned. keep your hand on the burner. if you remove it they will win. be strong, peter. ignore the pounding on the door, peter. keep your hand on the burner. you must own the libs.

Cornell’s Lab of Ornithology is hosting the annual Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend. Anyone from around the world can participate-just watch the birds in your neighborhood for 15 minutes & let them know what you see! They use this data to track bird migrations/health www.birdcount.org #BirdSky

i'm actually really worried for this phase of things. what do we do when they go places with less networks or where institutions are extremely supportive of ICE. idk i'm scared of what can happen here.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

⚡️Pope Leo sends 80 generators, thousands of medical supplies to Ukraine. Pope Leo XIV has sent 80 electric generators and thousands of medical and food supplies to Ukraine to help civilians cope with freezing winter temperatures and constant attacks, the Vatican announced on Feb. 9.

In NY-10, Brad Lander brings decades of progressive leadership and governing experience, with a track record of winning tangible gains for workers, tenants, and immigrant communities. We're proud to endorse Brad because we know he will meet this moment with the level of urgency and ferocity we need.

I get the spirit but I feel like anyone in public school at the time of "Born This Way" knows at least half a dozen guys who literally came out because of Lady Gaga. Living through the period of "Born This Way" (2011) -> Obergefell (2015) was a whirl wind in how public opinion can radically change.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

is my PDS working yet. let me in. rattling the bars of my cage. awoowoowoowoo

Still a little mad about this. Dismissing craftivists (who are mostly women) as cringey bandwagoneers is bullshit. Not everyone is Extremely Online; communities form in person, too: PTA meetings, book club, grocery store, gas pump, daycare pickup, pharmacy, dog park, ice rink, stadium, etc etc etc

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

In my opinion these people are the real heroes of the resistance to ICE. There’s no credit, no one can talk about their work (because they directly contact vulnerable families). It’s expensive and dreary and neverending. ICE follows them around. But they refuse to abandon their neighbors

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Have to love AG Leticia James. Her office will monitor and document federal immigration enforcement actions across NY. Legal observers—volunteers who are drawn from the AG office will record and document 🧊 activities and any violations could assist the AG in litigation.

Because she was not a close blood relative to Naomi, Mike Johnson would have deported Ruth back to Moab & certainly wouldn’t have processed Boaz’s fiancée visa

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

btw, in case you're curious and unaware, an exact 21/21 flip - with a margin this tight - is a huge flex on Jeffries' part and a gigantic fuck-you to Mike Johnson, so perhaps put some respect on his name the next time you utter it

restaurant manager: hey so, sorry to bother you, but is that a service animal? it's just, we have a policy- jabba the hutt: je wonna wonga, bazda wahota shonga salacious b crumb: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA restaurant manager: ah. ok. cool

Today, I am proud to announce India Walton as my running mate in our campaign to become the next Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York.

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many. The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

Side note: None of the spending bills passed in the "minibus" had any anti-trans riders. This includes the bill that funds the Department of Health and Human Services www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

my objection to black bloc and, in fact, the entire associated set of tactics is that they don't seem to work, which i guess makes me a lib by bluesky left/liberal divisions amusingly this does not work the other way; i am not a leftist because i think nearly every democratic institution is rotten

I’m beginning to think that some of my comrades aren’t putting our political goals first

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

we found a solution that worked for everyone and now these weird nerds are fucking it up

I said what I said. Trump's ICE will not get away with their lawlessness. We will fight until they are held accountable.

📢 Announcement 📢

there are two kinds of people: those who have worked intake for legal organizations, and those who have not. you really don’t know how insane the general public is until you‘ve done that.

With a lower court stay in place it is now literally up to our boy Bret and his shadow docket buddies if ICE will do a pogrom in Springfield Ohio this week

This shit is so gross. Saying trauma and harm and accountability and solidarity to disguise the fact that you think warning people that ICE is here with a whistle is cringe lib shit

A federal judge on Monday blocked the end of protections that have allowed roughly 350,000 Haitians to live in the U.S., dealing President Donald Trump's immigration agenda another legal setback. n.pr/4rxZWrE

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it. While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE. Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th. Here are links to donate and volunteer directly: 1/

I know 2m20s is a fairly big commitment for a Bluesky video - but I do think this is top 0.001% output from a local news station. I watch it at least once a year, every February. Take a look.

For example, here's @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com today with just a teaser of how we might start thinking about this. It's important! We shouldn't brush it off! But we should be specific. www.liberalcurrents.com/from-powerle...
