TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

If you see your rep here, call them up and tell them what you think of them. They voted for murder and fascism.

As an abortion clinic worker, it’s hilarious to see ICE agents upset about being harassed. Oh, you don’t like being yelled at and followed at work? Daw, that’s terrible. Anyway.

Just donated, please do likewise if you can. Reposting this helps too. Thank you. Link: www.miwrc.org

Two things you can do RIGHT NOW, like literally as you read this: 1) Call your reps and leave voice mails telling them NO DHS FUNDING and ABOLISH ICE and they better do it for Liam. 2) Donate what you can for www.standwithminnesota.com (a list of orgs, campaigns, and funds on the ground)

Cal State University’s deal with OpenAI — providing ChatGPT to all faculty, students, and staff — will expire in June 2026. Amid the prospect of layoffs in the CSU, we’re asking the chancellor not to renew this costly and demoralizing contract. Link below and anyone can sign:

🧵This is hugely important & touches on a thing lots of folks haven't been faced with: You can't trust everyone who says they're on your side It's hard to vet people on the fly but skepticism goes a long way. In a case like this: Ask for a name & phone number & say you'll pass it along. That's IT.

Fuck. Make some calls, people (especially people who aren't, like, actively busy in war zones). (They really are attacking Minnesota on a zillion fronts.)

Rare good news about Dems not only doing their fucking jobs, but standing up for trans rights. More of this please, elected Dems.

Everyone has been so supportive of Nico! Last December's donation and a few El Hoffer dress sales have helped us stay ahead in payments! Let's get this bill down to zero!! Please donate, share, and support. Even $5 goes a long way! #catsky #mutualaid www.gofundme.com/f/support-ni...

This is CRITICAL. I know you’re all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if there’s anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.

“I don’t think the president’s personal militia recruited from white supremacist gangs can be reformed” shouldn’t be a controversial statement, or taken as anything but an obvious statement of fact, and yet here we are.

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

It was a Card Captor Sakura message board. Went through a few names, but I recall it was SakuraMB, then maybe Star Boards or something like that.

So apparently some of the Magic: The Gathering Lorwyn prerelease kits came with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles promo cards instead of the Lorwyn ones. Whoopsies. At least WotC is letting players keep the TMNT cards if they pull them, rather than calling in the Pinkertons again.

Block the absolute shit out of this nazi filth. Do it with an ancient curse on your lips, with black lightning coursing through your blocking finger. Or just do it the regular way. Point being: block ‘em.

I appreciate the communication strategy from Gavin Newsom's office, which that it created a permission structure for Democrats to punch back in a way that seems to matter. But I will never vote for him. He's totally disqualified himself with shit like this. My god, dude. What the fuck.

As a wave of book banning continues across the country, I wanted to reshare this important research from @trevorproject.bsky.social on how book bans affect LGBTQ+ youth. Books save lives. ❤️

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

I haven't gone to Target since the boycott started, how can I boycott it even more?

We are quickly coming up on 50,000 whistles shipped so far in January, and I am just forever impressed by the passion of the folks who have joined forces with us! A reminder that if you know anyone who needs whistles, they can email the address at the top of our linktree! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Recent events have slowed me down, but I’m still writing comic reviews for @g33khq.bsky.social. This week, my pick is Uncanny X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social: g33khq.org/uncanny-x-me...

It is hard to do something creative while everything going on in the world is, y'know, going on. I'm trying to keep writing when I can, though. Anyways, hopefully I'll be able to finish this comic review for tomorrow.

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?” 1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore. 2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions. 3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

@kaiser-permanente.bsky.social I have been waiting on hold to speak with someone about a sudden bill for over an hour. What the fuck?

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

I haven't gone to a Target since the boycott started, and I ain't gonna go back any time soon.

I wish I had something clever and eloquent to say about the state of the world right now, but the only phrases that really capture it are "holy fucking shit, this is bad," "fuck fuck fuck shit fuck," and "oh fuck it just got worse, there's just too much." And we're barely two weeks into 2026.

you should know that this helps local journalists with their livethreads and social media alerts as well as the rapid response groups it is intended for!!!

I kind of want to make a list of all the fun/practical spells from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End that have absolutely no combat utility and write D&D mechanics for each of them. Might go over well on DM's Guild? (Minus Frieren herself, of course, for copyright reasons)

I'm honestly surprised whenever posts with my minis get more than a few likes, but lately they've been getting a surprising amount. I know I still have ways to improve (like getting the eyes right), but I do appreciate the positive responses they've been getting, so that's all very encouraging.
