My Trans Bill of Rights protects the freedom for all trans people to live as their full, authentic selves. It’s time to get this passed!

Working in grad student services/advising/admissions is SO exhausting rn. General fascist descent, int’l students targeted, grad PLUS loans gone, an economy on fire, etc. But sure, I‘ll come up with enrollment projections while I watch this slow motion train wreck & scramble to support my students

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

I watched this twice before I went to sleep last night. What you're feeling is an appropriate response from a body & brain that are struggling to integrate horrific information, regulate your nervous system, & keep you safe. Two minutes. Give yourself two minutes of compassionate support ❤️

We all saw the fellas grindin right? That may be a first for the super bowl.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

Death Camp For Cutie over here

Woke 2 is a hillbilly 2A guy marching arm in arm with a bitchy older librarian both singing Battle Hymn of the Republic and ready to hunt down JD Vance.

Woke 2: You’ll get what you deserve! (Free healthcare, walkable cities, public transit and student loan relief).

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

I’ll be helping at North Berkeley!

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here. we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

From the city that gave you "Make the golf course a public sex forest..."

🎧 listen this is heartbreaking 💔 @coldfishstix on TikTok for the whole track

just choked on my beverage

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

An ad on a Muni bus has gone viral for looking like a giant phallic symbol. It’s supposed to be something else, according to Muni.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/28/t...

On 1/30 we are shutting it down, and, on 1/31, we are gathering across the country to demand ICE Out of Everywhere, permanently!

When you explain it plainly, it’s hard not to see where we are as a country.

01/25 9:45AM Border Patrol is out in Los Angeles, sightings in Echo Park/ Silverlake and South Central. Please stay alert, get vulnerable people inside. Record everything and be safe.

Thank you for the important work you do @vjaybomb.bsky.social

This is Alex Pretti.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time. The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets. I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

wow just woke up from a nap, i guess everyone else on Air Force One realized we aren't going to the right place

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

My kids marched and I’m so proud, particularly of the care and organization that went into this student-led action. They had enough snacks, water, and hand-warmers for days. The 11th and 12th graders looked out for the middle school kids. It was beautiful.

“I can tell you that hillbilly values, at least where I’m from in Appalachia, are that the government ought not have absolute immunity when they shoot you in the face. But maybe we came from a different Appalachia”

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

the spectrum of queer experience is vast and complex, and none of us know what's going on inside families that are not our own but my feed is full of media outlets describing a woman with a very-much-living-and-in-the-picture wife first and foremost as though she was a man's widow, and I just

"That heaviness you feel, that drag on your mental health, that drain on your emotional energy and lethargy in the face of world events, like yesterday, is real. We are all carrying a lot of new weight..." —Garrett M. Graff @vermontgmg.bsky.social www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-physic...

Remember when they told us they were only interested in removing (ie censoring) books that are “obscene” and “harmful” to children? They lied. 😑
