Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities! Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

Nobody should believe a damn word that comes out of the FBI investigation. Normal "black person shot" rules apply here.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

The Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, much of what used to be northern Mexico, and a whole raft of Central American countries have entered the chat. Among others. See also "Send the Marines," by Tom Lehrer.

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

This fuggin guy. Every time he opens his mouth it’s the opposite of diplomatic. He’s got an amp called Insufferable Ass and he turned it up to 11. Since he hasn’t been rebuked or replaced, we can only assume the U.S. admin is okay with him behaving this way and yeah, Canada is still cheesed off

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Love this so much. 💜

Really great article about @onspecmag.bsky.social in Canada's national broadcaster's website today. Please consider nominating On Spec for a Semiprozine Hugo Award in 2026, as well as Dinana Walton for Best Editor short form. They have done so much good for the genre. www.cbc.ca/arts/on-spec...

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

"'My view is, if I don't file a complaint, what will happen to other Mexican women? If they do this to the president, what will happen to all women in our country?'"

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

Sauron is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the Morgul-host to Free People-led cities like Helm's Deep, Osgiliath, and Minas Tirith due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on the heirs of Dúnedain.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.
