I am glad to see more and more people talking about this, even in newspapers here in Sweden the talk about finding alternatives to US tech have started. You dont really realise how much we rely on it until now, when they went from being an ally to an enemy. I just hope we have time to change

BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

For what it’s worth I don’t use a gmail account and won’t be randomly contacting new authors enthusing about their books and giving them dodgy links to click on. There’s a new wave of author impersonation going round apparently.

COVID pandemic enters 7th year with no end in sight. "It's strange to think that the COVID-19 pandemic, which sent the world into lockdown 7 years ago never ended. It continues to kill and cripple us, to this day. We simply stopped talking about it." boingboing.net/2026/01/16/c...

I can't downplay my situation, it's really rough right now and I don't physically feel great atm as a type 2 diabetic. I'm sorry, I wish I didn't need to do this 😔

MN ICE watch is measurably de-escalating violence. Attraction to ICE for newbies is social approval & group power. Now, larger group meets them with social censure. They're using more agents (taken from elsewhere) to conduct relatively fewer arrests, lowering abductions there & beyond.

Amazing that word has not reached the Harper's Letter crew.

If you have gardeners or other workers on your property: “Entra en la casa ahora. Rápidamente.” Get in the house now. Quickly.”

Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

i really need help on this. there’s a lot of meds and supplies i constantly need to get to manage this recovery. not to mention the travel costs to my doctor. anything helps 🙏

Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

$125/$293 for late utilities and phone bills—almost half way there! Thank you so much. Being disabled and freelancing means a budget with no margin for error/accident. Your generosity and reposts are helping me literally keep the lights on (& the heat), and tethering me to the outside world. :)

Update to the update. We're all talking about UVA but don't sleep on the changes at George Mason and VMI. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Yet another example of how the obsession over "cancel culture" was simply about right-wing desire to be the ones doing the cancelling:

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

I'm seeking aid as a trans woman in the US w/ multiple disabilities, no support system or family except for my partner who is also struggling.

Hello! 17/935 Late for January rent that was due on the 4th, need everything in before the 26th, and have been struggling trying to sell stuff. I’m hoping this can be met to give me such much needed air and a break. Thank you! C/V: MSN99 #MAboost ##HelpFolksLive2025 ko-fi.com/msn99/goal?g=2

Again I think VA could be a model for the nation, a purple state where Dems aren’t afraid to use power and where bad actors are removed from power, instead of keeping them there to protect conservative feelings

What if … when they got granted power Leaders did what they said they would and took their elections like mandates for policy What if you treated governance like a chance to govern And make public institutions work for the public good of ALL?

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

Never a dill moment

I won't repost anything without alt text

With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

In addition to pushing out board members at UVA, Virginia's new governor has fired the lead attorneys at VMI and George Mason. Things are happening quickly as political control fully flips to Democrats.

Mischief Toys is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to hold his tariffs unconstitutional 🤔🤔🤔

Let's gooooooooo With alt

I’m a vengeful and angry god and a worse auntie . I want -release of Epstein files - comprehensive tax on Billionaires - locked in funding for arts and sciences - DEI guidelines - expand the Supreme Court . Roberts can never occur again

We experienced a truly incredible moment at the aquarium when this octopus decided to be a total jerk to its tankmate.

Yesterday these folks had raised $17k. As of right now they’re a few hundred bucks from $100k. A lot of that is Bluesky—y’all absolutely kick so much ass.

It REALLY frustrates me that everyone always forgets LaMonica McIver.

Saw a reel today and was reminded The Pitt also has an ASL version! HBO max (or whatever it’s named this week) is the only I know of that has so many ASL versions of shows/movies. Brings me a lottle joy (yes, I do mean lottle)

Three members of UVA Board of Visitors have resigned.

Want modernity? Vote Dem.

Small and scared but oh so sweet. Little Melody had some good snuggles earlier and only acted like she was going to die a little bit.

👀 Virginia senate president pro tempore calls for turning the 6D-5R House delegation into 10D-1R in redistricting. With some colorful language regarding the commonwealth’s two Democratic senators.

What's this? A trickle of some unfamiliar feeling. My state just passed a bunch of awesome constitutional amendments (that now go to voters). The incoming Gov got multiple BoV members to resign. Clock may be ticking on our new pres. Is... is this what hope feels like?

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. These will all go to 2026 referendums.

…God damn. Well done, Virginia.

Thank you very much! 🦷 gofund.me/ba77178c2 #MutualAid #FundMeFriday
