We don't celebrate Valentine's as Feb 13th is Jon's bday (and the anniversary of our first date) and the 18th is our wedding anniversary. So I was a little miffed he broke the no-gifts rule until I looked into the bag. It's been over 15 years since I've had cheez its!!! 😍

I log into FB still from time to time and today my entire feed essentially was GOP politicians posting, mostly videos, about their support of the SAVE act. I don't follow any of them. It's a full court press over there.

So first Vought murders people by stealing their aid and now one year later the money is just a slush fund for whatever he wants? Sickening and illegal: www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

We live on a small sphere of rock orbiting an ongoing fusion reaction, the whole thing floating along in...nothing at all. It's kinda weird, yes? No one talks about this.

Middle schoolers FTW

The latest is up. We added 48 new entries to the Immigration timeline this week, a lot of it very heavy, so our briefing is full of important countermoves by the people fighting back: unbreaking.org/blog/this-we...

ICE detentions have quadrupled in our county in the last year. Our county does indeed have a 287(g) partnership with ICE. It is happening everywhere, all of the time.

today I learned I live in a sinkhole hotspot! new fear unlocked.

every once in a while I just mutter to myself "all my apes gone"

Seems the Pentagon is testing anti-drone high-energy lasers near Fort Bliss in El Paso, and didn't feel this was dangerous enough to close airspace over. The FAA administrator disagreed. Last week, these lasers successfully protected the American people from a sinister children's party balloon.

Memphis is under a federal task force occupation that includes DEA, CBP, ICE, National Guard, state troopers, and (I’m not joking) IRS agents (IRS jackets kidnapping people). No national news.

This is phantasmagorical. An experience. Watch it.

All of my grandfather's siblings had nicknames. He was know as Huck most of his life (his real name was Raymond). His brother, Uncle Happy, worked at Disneyland, there were two Dudes on either side of the family. My great uncle Homer's wife was known as Nehi (she was super short).

we almost never saw pieces like this when the prevailing epstein accusations were based on totally made up claims from the right. now that the actual evidence in the files implicates trump and other right wing figures, we get 5 articles like this a day.

it's happening everywhere, all of the time. www.wbir.com/article/news...

please click and see about adopting the dog, but i really want to thank threads' link previews for prioritizing the avatar and really taking this places

Please don’t forget about us and our neighbors! standwithminnesota.com

now that's the power of a union

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

what a shot

Holding us accountable for the shameful failure to restore power to PR

this is honestly how I feel pretty much every time I vote. hudson captures it perfectly.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

I am glad people are learning about how we treat the incarcerated in our country. the conditions you are learning about in the immigration camps are very, very similar to county jails, state prisons, and absolutely private prisons (who are running many of the camps).

Hey Knoxville, let's help our neighbors today!

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

DID YOU KNOW? If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home! They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

Early returns in Louisiana’s special election: The Dem candidate is leading 58.5% to 41.5%. That’s with a third of the vote in. Context: this is a Dem-held seat but in a district TRUMP carried by 13%, so has been a big/obvious GOP target. Stay tuned.

SUNDAY! ONE-DAY SUPPLY DROP — SUPPORT FOR IMMIGRANT FAMILIES (KNOXVILLE) at TVUUC. Not charity but solidarity. Needs are coming directly from community contacts working with families. Drop-off location: Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church Time: Sunday, 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

the thing I keep thinking today, over and over again, while reading about immigration atrocities is the cruelty is the point. there seems to be at no point where DHS will say ok, maybe that's a bridge too far, let's dial it back. in fact, it's the exact opposite.

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

This guy got beaten by a bunch of masked thugs whose salaries are paid by our taxes simply for being Mexican. Help him out.

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

This photo is funnier than it has any business being people.com/hairdresser-...

I feel like the thing I have repeated the most today, too many times, on every social media site, is that Donald Trump was investigated and found racist by the Nixon Department of justice. In the 70s. Read that again. Too racist for the Nixon Department of Justice over half a century ago.

We're up to 283!

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

We are at 230 shirts sold so far! This is *only* available today and all proceeds go to rent relief funds for folks in East St Paul, MN who have been impacted by the federal siege in Minnesota: bikinikill.bandcamp.com/merch/limite...

The people of Minnesota are showing us a better world is possible. One where we stand up for our neighbors and one where what happens to the most marginalized MATTERS. Until we are all free, none of us are.

dawg the pedophiles are unionizing

Abolish ICE is too confusing. What we meant to say is that "no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion."

Oh man, there's so many! youtu.be/Ssd3U_zicAI?...

I already posted this the other day but it's one of my fav songs of all time youtu.be/__wMkTv9ip0?...
