Gaza is under shelling at this moment. Right now, we are being hit by heavy bombardment!!

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Deep in the forest

Part 2 in my series on perfectionism, anxiety, and hidden labor. Exploring the idea of what it might feel like to let go of the things anxiety tells me to hold on to so tightly my knuckles go white. What might happen? What space and ease might there be for something new? #embroidery #fiberart

If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

I'll believe it when Minnesota folks confirm it. Otherwise I'll assume it's just an Israeli-style ceasefire

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights. When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

The only funny part of the Epstein emails to me is watching everyone be shocked that powerful men write absolutely the dumbest/worst emails. As a former Executive Assistant to a relatively powerful guy (who is not in these files, thank fuck), it's fun to see everyone get caught up on this knowledge

was that not already banned

this is bad for lots of reasons, but not least--why the fuck are the federal bureau of prisons agents doing this work? abolitionists are once again right: what we are experiencing now is a direct result of the carceralization of the nation--the whole fucking country is a prison now

This is all stupid bullshit but I remain pretty disgusted at how things like marriage and having children are treated like Xbox achievements instead of actually loving and caring for someone else. Yeah I’m going to work 70 hours a week but definitely need a spouse, her name is Beth or something idk

Murphy repeatedly bragged in public that "we followed Republicans' instructions to the letter" on drafting the far right immigration bill.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

you work for a company whose co-founder said it was created to "blow up commies", who tf did you think you were going to be helping?

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

I've been thinking a lot about the intersection of perfectionism, anxiety, and labor. How so much of being an embroiderer is about presenting a beautifully finished front face while hiding the 'ugly' side, where the effort and the work of the thread actually lives. #embroidery #fiberart #anxiety

No one outside of the government knows when the agents who killed Silverio Villegas González went back into the field because no one outside of the government knows who they are.

Friends don't let friends follow AltNPS

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

A lot of self described Christians seem to be banking on there not actually being a hell.

This would be a really good moment for Democrats to start acting more like a political party than a Ponzi scheme.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

We have citizen patrols checking empty cars like this for children and animals that were left behind in the negative temps because that’s where we are at as a society.

It isn’t healthy to be this angry all the time. But it also isn’t healthy if this doesn’t make you angry.

This is why calling them weird creeps was so effective, not just to damage the leadership psychologically, but to make it extremely socially embarrassing to be a known supporter of them in the general public. The point is to make society at large view them as they are, not the force they wish to be.

i simply don't think we need ICE and do not care how someone showed up in whatever place they happen to live.

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

Well at least he didn't do anything embarrassing like rename the company after it

Calling for more ICE agent training is calling for more ICE funding, for a more efficient ethnic cleansing machine. They don’t need more training, they need to be destroyed. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH ICE.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

This shit doesn't even make sense, what the hell are you supposed to spend your "sky-high salary" on if you're stuck in space

Congress is trying to force through mass surveillance/censorship laws THIS WEEK BOOST THIS EVERYWHERE before it’s too late. 👇 www.badinternetbills.com Call and tell your rep: —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO online digital ID laws —NO age verification laws

FUCK ICE

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

not beating the “AI art is lazy” allegations

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

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

my entire adult life, democrats have needed to be dragged kicking and screaming towards even the consideration that they should do right by the people who voted for them. i’m tired.

would be a shame if people called venues the way they did for Jeffries’ book tour

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

i feel like it's not getting enough attention that Fox News ran a *completely false story* based on AI-generated videos it thought were interviews with real people futurism.com/artificial-i...

this is why I think Matt Yglesias’ stance that we shouldn’t talk about anything other than healthcare is insane the average American doesn’t yet realize that Trump has created a Gestapo. Democrats need to talk about it and raise awareness of videos like this rather than just ignore it.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald by Chicago police
