Jews in Minneapolis are holding a Havdalah service tonight (7:30-8 pm ET) to come together as a Jewish community to find hope and strength in our tradition. Join them here to separate the sacred from the profane: templeisrael.zoom.us/j/81682319533

live today, more than many other days, as if it's Shut The Fuck Up Friday.

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

Ice apparently murdered someone again and the video is distressing. You don't have to watch it, folks. There are better ways to bear witness than traumatizing yourself. If you do see it, play some tetris afterward. Seriously. I'll post rahaeli's thread on that.

This one broke me for the night. Fuck. See y'all tomorrow.

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

Personally, I want a bigger image of the bunny hat, but these are great

The entire country becoming united in saying "We don't want this fucking ICE."

Helluva front page

I just encountered my first AI "answering service" at a doctor's office. They even had muddled voices playing in the background to make it sound legit. Anyway I hate it and will have words with that doctor.

There was a huge dump of documents related to the American Association of University Professor's lawsuit against the government for abducting students. Among them is a memo March 21, 2025 memo from State Dept. that verifies Rümeysa Öztürk, a student at Tufts, was detained only for writing an op-ed.

This thread gave me a boost of hope I really needed this week

hahahahaha eat shit bovino

His hand is bruised because he banged it on a table and he takes aspirin. Unrelatedly, he was shot in the ear a year ago but there was never any bruising or scarring because he's an ubermensch.

Everybody shut the fuck up and pay attention to the most important thing happening at this moment.

I also have a long analysis: No. Hell no. FUCK no. That's probably long enough. (Orin is a specialist in this area of law. I shitpost and took a few classes in law school 15 years ago.)

Just a few days ago I was researching a part of my family i know nothing about, only to find out that i have an ancestor that proudly marched with Sherman to the sea. It felt pretty dang good to learn.

Pitter patter, folks.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

Well shit. I know nothing about this, but I'm damn sure concerned. The newly appointed Board first postponed, and has now canceled the Feb. 21 Tucson Pride Parade. It's also "made the difficult decision to close Tucson Pride as an organization."

I guess I've got to hand it to Johnson*, he's not even trying to hide that he's abdicated his constitutional role. *lol no

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

From the beginning of the civil rights era until the day he died, MLK reserved one speech almost exclusively for Black audiences. It was literally about staying "woke."

We knew it from Ferris Fucking Beuller!

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

Just for the record, and it’s insane that the mad king made me look this up, there is documentation of the US giving up all claim to Greenland to Denmark when we bought the Virgin Islands from them in 1916. history.state.gov/historicaldo...

I truly believe Fox News is one of the most dangerous obstacles to a livable world. It's an agent of destabilization and is responsible for so much misery. But sometimes they make it so plain how it's also just a widdle safety binky for scared conservatives. "None of it is real. Shhh. Shhh."

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Boy, uh... this is dumb. Just straight dumb. Makin' stuff up without a care in the world. And you know he's *proud* of it.

This picture is di-a-bol-i-cal

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I can't believe that this has been an option the entire time *sets up school for raccoons against racism*

We do not accept payment for whistles, and will ship anywhere between 100 and 1000. If you know someone with an org that needs even more than that, they can reach out and we can work with them! Do not be afraid to ask for 100 whistles if you just want to radicalize your PTA group. WE WANT THAT! 💓

Restaurant people in other cities (and Minneapolis too): Is your back of house staff mostly immigrant? Do you get doordash / third party drivers? What is the language spoken by them the most? Figure that out. Order: www.redcardorders.com You can also print them, here: www.ilrc.org/redcards

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights. The Virginia House already did this on Wednesday. It's official: there'll be a referendum later this year on the issue.

what a legend lmao
