2. Magica Riot Full Bloom by @magicariot.com Another fun, charming romp with Claire and the Magica Riot team. While I DID like this one less than the first, my issues are small, and I couldn't put it down throughout. It delivers all the wonderful queer joy fans of the first book could want.

When I left conservatism after Trump got on the scene, one thing I didn’t appreciate was how many leftists support decentralization and federalism as a way to stop tyranny. I thought it was only a conservative thing.

Nothing says “we are done putting up with ze American… how you say Bullshiit,” quite like this.

At the very least, it means you were a witness to a crime.

This too, could abolish Ice.

Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them

@editorialboard.bsky.social hey John, I seem to notice a lot of the same names that are in these new Epstein files also have written for the NYT. I’m normally against workplaces speaking about employee behavior outside the workplace, but this feels like an exception to that principle. Thoughts?

Can democratic senators just follow this one, simple concept?

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Has there been a requirement that ICE not break out the tricked out rifles for basic door-to-door work? If a cop can go to someone’s door with their basic belt, not strapped with an AR or shotgun, surely we can expect ICE to do the same at the minimum?

Okay, I needed this

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

he always had trouble with anti-virus measures

Here's a copy of one of the deleted files, that contains the most damning accusations against Trump (and others). #Streisand bsky.app/profile/coco...

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

There should be a law against suing like this.

Hey @dansinker.com wonder if you could put my local fav queer hangout on blast? They’re a key part of our community but they’re only staying open as a warming place Friday in solidarity with Minneapolis. If people can donate or buy merch it would help the owner a lot! www.lotusbrewcoffee.com

I really wish Sen Duckworth was out in front leading more often like this. She is a great communicator and she takes no shit.

Is it me or is the admin really bad at hiding shit?

Hey @dansinker.com new sticker idea or t-shirt

I am incredibly excited to announce my first novel: Nameless, a cyberpunk action-adventure set in the dead cold of a January Minneapolis winter, and featuring a pair of queer women leads, thrilling action, and a cat with a prosthetic leg. Nobody survives the winter alone. Out February 11!

Not good enough. Send them back to Minneapolis. I’m sure state investigators have questions for them.

His picture should be at the top of the Wikipedia page for positive masculinity.

Weird, because he played all the time as a senator. This admin doesn’t feel it has to be transparent or accountable to anyone.

Yourself but a cartoon

My bet is impeachment will be minutes from being brought up on the floor and she will be fired to spare the republicans the optics before midterms.

I need

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

It’s gone international!

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Tip: Never imply the judge has bad Judgement in their own courtroom.

I approve of this disapproval

I need more artists doing this shit. Can I get an amen, @dansinker.com ?

I now gauge how bad the week has been by how censored Talking Feds with @harrylitman.bsky.social episode titles are

oh i see how it is a business can get firewalls and securities breached, then subsequently reprogrammed for free but when *I* ask for that to happen to me as a robogirl i have to pay for files on patreon and it takes years of listening

Reblog if you adore trans girls!!!

Keeping your neighbors from freezing or running out of food is a leftist agenda now.

10/10 No notes

Make a list with AI with fake names and send it to them. It’ll be weeks before they realize it.

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.

Ok, this feels a little like progress….

They’ll break every procedural and conduct rule.

If your church isnt talking about all of this today, God isnt there.

This practice is called “cover charging.” 73% of the time when it is done, it is done to Black people. ProPublica did an expose:

Fucking no it doesn’t! It just means he can do the same thing a weather vane does. This should have been his position in the first shutdown because there were SEVERAL warnings about where this was going. www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...

The thing I hate about AI isn’t the tech, but the fact it failed to learn an important lesson from its predecessor: the algorithm. Being able to find information or share popular information is detrimental to your users experience.
