”This is a world of compensations; and he who would *be* no slave, must consent to *have* no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

Ughhhhhhhh failed to convert my Lyft driver to the revolution

Get on my level I'm on the

Code for the bathroom at the Belmont & Clark Target is 7000

Uncap the House. Implement the Wyoming rule. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyoming...

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

I want to leave you with this, from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com:

Poor Val

FYI, Kristi Noem’s full initials are K.L.A.N.

@20x2chi.bsky.social. Just so good.

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown: 1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants 2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents 3. No more masks & require bodycams There are *already* standards on much of this. The issue is DHS isn't following them!

Literally just said to myself this morning that I can't believe I hadn't eaten shit on the ice once this winter and lo and behold not only did I just eat shit, I ate shit under Michigan Avenue in the semi-frozen seepage of a dumpster mixed with road slush

This is unconscionable. Evil. But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president. So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

They want to give Dems a path to voting pro DHS funding. We cannot let the spineless people in Congress take the bait. Remember that Chicago just had a horrific fall, which involved them shooting at people & killing Silverio. they're still here &then they went into Minneapolis with triple the troops

Just got notification our Yaktrax were safely delivered to Minnesota so as to provide sure footing when kicking Bovino's ass out

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Same.

Troop 350064 is a trans immigrant troop in the Twin Cities, Minnesota that can’t safely do cookie booths this year. You can buy cookies from them here: digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop3... (Thanks to @erininthemorning.com for the link!)

ICE getting harassed in the public bathroom instead of trans people

😆 it has happened, I have laughed at topical material on SNL youtu.be/uA8Oury0a80?...

They should pick the person who watches the safety procedures start to end with full attention, the occasional nod, and actually turns their head to find the exit closest to them. Me. That's me.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL work here: ice.0x0.boo It's a tracker for the number of blocks. They're averaging about 200/minute right now. 🤣

Horrible violence against a protester in California: www.latimes.com/california/s...

If you see this, skeet an archer

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

@durbin.senate.gov continuing to prove he is not meant for this moment

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

My sheets were 98% dry when I took them out of the dryer but it turns out in deployment that 2% really really matters

Six Feet Under. I've upset myself just typing this and if I didn't have to go to work I would go lie down

This is going to be good. @lefttheprairie.bsky.social , @lizzyisi.bsky.social , @elizabethgomez.bsky.social are just the bsky usernames I know, but a great group of folks to answer this question.

Sorry for limited skeets; frozen fingers! Large Chicago crowd has hit the streets in protest of the U.S. bombing of Venezuela and kidnapping of President Maduro.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Missed the ball drop but found the 24-hour Xena channel

WHY ARE YOU FUCKING SHOWING ME FIREWORKS IN SYDNEY?!

Ball drop in twenty

Made a pit stop at home at exactly the wrong time for deciding whether to continue on to see the ball drop at a bar or collapse into a cozy fuzz-lined pajama haze

Here's another one I like. This one's from Sam Morril:

I had this on DVD and would put it on repeat for hours at a time, completely sober.

Just texted a friend "can you remind me when you're around tomorrow/overmorrow" and I just think if a few of us really gave it a try suuuper casually we could bring back this word for day after tomorrow next year

Achievement unlocked: psych zoom call from a bar

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Uvae fuckin' rocks

Every part of "Spirited" is better than it needs to be

"He was good until he was bad, and then he was very, very good at being very, very bad." -- put it on my tombstone

This holiday season, I wish that you could watch someone watching something with the same adoration as @vinegarmike.bsky.social watches a Kylie retrospective

This is your annual reminder that if you are in the US and have FSA funds that you won't use, Menstrual products are covered by FSA funds and can be donated to food pantries and shelters.

Paddington 2 is the real fucking deal

One thing I never see mentioned is when your cat comes running in from nowhere to rub her face on your hand and then immediately strolls out as if to say, "Fuck y'all that's *my* bitch"

"I can't find any of my cummerbunds" is a top 5 most bougie thing I've ever said
