⚡️Update: Ukraine requests emergency meetings of UN Security Council, OSCE to respond to Russian terror. "Putin is trying to intimidate Ukraine by attacking civilians and destroying residential buildings...He is also trying to intimidate the world by launching IRBMs against peaceful cities."

Good time to speak up about this, at the same time Cornell's President is also facing scrutiny for, you know, hitting a student with his car. Cornell desperately needs new leadership.

So much talk over the last six months about "what if it's two Republicans" people have really been sleeping on how crazy a Steyer vs Becerra general election would be

It would be incredibly funny if I could pass the WaPo Opinion podcast's subscriber count on my channel's first day on YouTube.

They think you're stupid.

Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!

it'd be great if you could get off Substack

It really is just a compliment machine, made by and for guys who weren't getting compliments anymore.

Dear international friends, Do not travel to the United States this summer for the World Cup. It isn't safe for us, and it's absolutely not safe for you. Sincerely, An American citizen

Brutal.

I cannot stress enough how these are PTA moms and soccer coach dads and I can best describe the vibe as “festively bloodthirsty”

Hell yeah garbage plate

Ok I knew Iran was big but I didn’t know it’s larger in size than Alaska, which seems a pertinent data point

It was us

Never gets old, man

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Ruben Ray Martinez was shot through his driver's-side window in South Padre Island, Texas.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

84 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, about two-thirds of whom were US citizens. The Day of Remembrance this year comes as we see DHS buying land and warehouses for more camps now.

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

Organizers have collected 14 lotion bottles, two deodorant bottles, and one AA Battery that detainees have thrown over the fences with notes attached to them. The full story: lataco.com/captive-loti... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

The problem of ICE/CBP reform is we have a monster rampaging through our democracy and are trying to restrict *which* cities it can pillage and *how many* civilians it can eat. The problem isn’t the restrictions on the monster; the problem is the monster. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-ways-t...

We told @protopasta.bsky.social how much bluesky would love a filament company who was just like "oh are you making whistles, that's awesome, here have some free filament" and so they come over to hang out!!!

"These practices must end now." Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was dragged from a car by ICE agents in Minnesota, speaks out at a congressional hearing on DHS immigration enforcement tactics.

Some wildly generous person just spent a bunch of their credit card points and bought us a huge gift card to Polymaker so we can buy filament! I did not know that was a thing you can do (I'm afraid of cards b/c ADHD trauma) but HOLY SHIT?? BRILLIANT??? More gift card links are now added here!

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died." But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalation—and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.

Took off mask 4 blocks away and got it bad. It’s all over the neighborhood. A local walking her dog asked if they just gassed and ran inside coughing.

To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

actually it's a commonwealth

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Omg the moms were up there too and they did synchronized dancing!

They started with immigrants and trans people and everytime this administration is appeased they attack more groups. Your skin color or gender won’t keep you safe. They will kill you if you disagree with them and they believe they can get away with it. So we can’t let them get away with it.

Philando worked at my kids’ school. I think of him every time I drive that road.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
