Roundup of the insane rhetoric coming from the right at the moment. It's remarkable how *little* violence we've seen from protesters, given the feds' aggression. Maybe I've missed something, but the worst I've seen is people throwing snowballs. The MN weather has injured more cops than protesters.

#LastFourWatched Day is upon us

Re-upping this piece I wrote about them:

@nogodsnomayors.com is there an email address folks can send Local Mayor Stories into?

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California. So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

I never thought I would walk away from Star Trek. I’ve written about it for a decade and I’ve eagerly shared it my entire life. But given who owns it now and who stands to profit from Trekkies’ loyalty, I can’t keep promoting it. The Trekkie in me won’t allow it. Here’s why I’m beaming out.

A thing you may not know about me is that I routinely twist to maximum allowable torquage.

The funniest thing that could happen at the Oscars is that Chloe Zhao wins big and immediately tries to parlay that success into ETERNALS 2.

I love this. “Who says we are far right? We are just allied with a far right government and share a far right political ideology.”

“We haven’t prepared any plans, and we have no idea what’s going to happen when I land there,” said Karki, who boarded the airplane with little more than his cell phone and a bag of clothes. “I have no family in Bhutan, no one nearby.” matternews.org/community/fe...

Ghost plates / patch swapping / mission-specific identities = covert ops / secret police

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

ROBERRRRRRRRRRRRT!!!!

Just finished Megan Greenwell's BAD COMPANY, and I gotta say: Great read, and a surprisingly hopeful one. This kind of book can be just a massive, relentless downer, but Greenwell found four really inspirational and interesting subjects to build the book around.

DC when trans girls wear cat ears and leggings: "Yasss, slay! Trans rights!" DC when trans girls call out transphobia: "We are cancelling your contract, recalling your entire comic run, and ending your relationship with the company."

Fuck off with this shit, OSU. I’m glad you got slapped down here. abc6onyourside.com/news/local/j...

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.

Minnesota unions proclaim a general strike on Jan 23 against ICE. paydayreport.com/5-minneapoli...

Don’t threaten me with a good time

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

When self-employed software engineer Nick Benson put out the call for dashcams online, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch. Here's how one guy crowdsourced 500+ dashcams for Minneapolis to film ICE www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

This week, 404 Media obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. Webloc can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer. Watch now:

TERFs discovering this post: "let me explain the rationale for my bigotry I believe exonerates me" lol yeah that's what I'm talking about.

Wow I sure hope they don't get a bunch of bullshit reports to waste their time that would be terrible

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Bought myself my first ever New Skirt instead of thrifting them. The upside? I could just, like, order it instead of hoping something at the store fit this week. The downside? The quality of clothing I can afford is WILDLY worse when it's not thrifted, haha.

Adopt a maximalist position. Make them bargain us down to abolishing ICE.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

no new pictures, where are you at mentally?

0/300 still :,)

no new pictures, where are you at mentally?

…took and SOLD his phone?

Someone inside DHS leaked the names of 4,500 ICE and CBP officers to a nonprofit that tracks ICE. About 80 percent of those name are active. www.rawstory.com/ice-agents-d...

meanwhile on instagram things are going well: www.404media.co/instagram-ai...

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

If Flock is in your community, you should be going to every city council meeting and screaming about it until they get rid of it.

The thing that not enough people know about Scott Adams is that he believed himself to be a 'hypnodom', capable of making his readers spontaneously orgasm through blog posting, and he wrote a series of posts 'priming' his audience to nut like crazy at midnight on New Year's Eve one year.

This should be the baseline energy from every Democrat. This should be the least angry they ever get to be. This should be the nicest language they ever use in reference to Republicans. If you can't do *at least* this, retire or get yourself retired.

Get in loser, we're going to put our bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, to make it stop

ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

Oh my god this lady rules. I love this. Just make fun of these poseurs.

Make a Bond movie casual Lawnraker

oh hellllllllllllllllllllll yeah

Ugh if I could just lose like 100 pounds overnight and then completely change my taste buds and eating habits and exercise habits overnight, most of my personal problems would be fixed.

ICE goon pushes man in front of a moving bus.

For some reason, my home WiFi bypasses many of Ohio’s age gate stuff???

These folks do so much of their corruption in plain view that the only obstacle to throwing them all in prison after this is over is going to be a lack of will.
