They have achieved 10 to 1 force superority over ICE

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Six More Weeks of Wet Season Predicted as Geoduck Squirts All Over His Shadow: tinyurl.com/mu6br7ye

Black History Is Star Trek 🖖🏿 Series Acclimation Mil, or SAM. Played by Kerrice Brooks, SAM is a Kasqian, and the first photonic to attend Starfleet Academy. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/SAM

Lithgow acknowledges her harmful beliefs & actions, yet helped make her more money to fund trans-genocide. The dude's no ally & dead to me. You don't get brownie points for acknowledging someone's a transphobe when you help them make money to do transphobic shit.

Neil Gaiman is crawling out of his bog two years after sexual assault allegations to play the sweet old fantasy uncle again -- complete with name-dropping that book you like & his twee "make good art" catchphrase -- all in order to (of course) sell you his upcoming book. Don't you dare fall for it.

Existing Washington law *forces cities to cut their budgets* every year because revenue doesn’t even keep pace with inflation. It’s insane that this hasn’t yet been rectified. Please send your legislators a note in support of fixing the arbitrary *FORCED BUDGET CUT* which is embedded in state law.

The "ban whistles" stuff is how you know whistles are working incredibly well

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Who wants to help get more whistles into the world?? Go buy makers some filament here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles (I’m B at the very bottom of the list, but clear everyone else out too!!)

I can hear my upstairs neighbor snoring above me and I'm honestly glad he's sleeping so well. Somebody should.

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

One thing I’ve learned from decades of investigating old prisons, asylums, poor houses & mass detention centers (whatever the reason for putting people there) There are ALWAYS more bodies And there are always people in charge gleefully taking advantage of how easy it is to make people disappear

Echoing this statement because those fucks still haven’t left Los Angeles. They’ve continued to terrorize us even after the surge was over. Never let these fascist pigs get away with a goddamn thing.

Anyway, if you need whistles: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Being in the whistle mines is one of the best things I’ve ever done. Read this thread and help your neighbors and communities!!

i LOVE modern times please send them money to feed my pals and neighbors and everyone but ICE

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

There is a reason that Palestinians and Black Americans felt common cause with one another ... because of overlapping experiences with the same types of tactics and the same types violence. In other words, it’s been here the whole time.

We agreed to meet at 1:00 but no meeting place chosen. Confirmed at 12:00 & I named 3 places I thought would be good cheap meets for coffee or a drink. At 1:15 I get a text - he has no money and asking if we can meet someplace cheaper. He got mad at me that I don't want to meet anymore.

Nope, sorry; as someone who spent extensive time fighting Remain in Mexico in Trump's first term, the reality is that the cartels maintain very high levels of control in Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros and would often kidnap people within minutes/hours of their expulsion from the US under the program.

TOMORROW, Seattle! If you can attend this town hall at 4:30pm Monday 1/26, please do! This will be a chance for folks to discuss Seattle's response to federal threats/ICE, including the city's surveillance apparatus. I'm hearing there will be a listening component.

Turns out all the fear mongering about China spying on your every move through TikTok was projection

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

To delete your TikTok account without agreeing to the new TOS: 1) put your phone in airplane mode 2) open TikTok and go to your profile 3) go to settings and scroll down to delete account 4) turn airplane mode off 5) delete your account Credit to @ kimsaira on instagram for this

Found another BIG LADY

Someone once told me the children were to look for the helpers, and that the adults were meant to BE the helpers. And that really resonated with me. We're the helpers. Let's help. ♥️

For people asking “why isn’t there a general strike?” earnestly, and not just to be a judgmental prick

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

In the mood to change the trajectory of a lanky little nerd’s entire life with my whimsy

All the pundits who were outraged at kids missing school in the early days of the COVID pandemic are welcome to speak up ANY TIME NOW

She's right. We keep reaching for words like Nazi and gestapo in an effort to distance ourselves from the fact that these are actually slave patrols and Confederates - everything happening is as American as apple pie and we have to reckon with that if we're going to change it.

Perfection is a prison.

Gotta watch video and it'll blow your mind that anyone in power on our side can sit and watch this happen and do zippo. They're all weak and scared and can't do the job. They're forcing taxpayers to defend themselves. That's not the job of the taxpayer.

Sculpt a likeness of her out of mashed potatoes. Women love that. No? Just me? I'll sit down.

The finale of SNW3 has a real Stargate vibe.

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. 🤟🏻🖖🏻

where have i seen this before - photos of people’s stolen valuables in piles

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Favorite part of new Star Trek is our first canonically bisexual starfleet captain.

Checked on the Seahawks game out of sheer curiosity. Fkn yikes.

The reminder that Star Trek is 60 years old at this point explains a lot of the haterade I'm seeing in the fandom lately - many Trekkies have aged into being an old fcking fogey. Thankfully, 6 decades later, we're still picking up new fans daily who remember how to watch this stuff with wonderment.

Starfleet Academy perfectly fills that Lower Decks-shaped hole in my heart. 134342 out of 10. No notes. #AlmondBasketForLife

Hot: Holly Hunter bisexually sitting in her captain's chair. Not: That corny ass cover of Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco". An instrumental cover would have been poignant & understated. #StarfleetAcademy

I don't know what the haters are yapping about cuz I'm 13 minutes in and already having a great freaking time!!! #StarfleetAcademy

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

A majority of Republicans still approve of Trump and ICE after Renee Nicole Good's execution. They are, simply put, not interested in a functional society. They will sacrifice any semblance of a sustainable future or a rational economic outlook in order to feel big, tough, and beyond decency.
