Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

He was legally observing He was helping other legal observers He was helping other potential victims He was not brandishing a gun May Alex Pretti’s memory be a blessing

The World Cup in the US must be boycotted by foreign nations. Outside financial pressure is the only thing the thugs in suits (as opposed to the thugs in camo) will respond to.

I'd love to build out my list of BIPOC illustrators interested in book covers or page illustrations!! If anyone is interested (or if you want to rec an artist), please introduce yourself, ideally with some art samples and/or portfolio link!✨ *Absolutely no AI allowed, and please tag any NSFW art!

I have decided to make my research on medieval dress for the PhD open access. This includes the re-creations. I could pitch a book, but I don't want to. Making historical dress is of interest to many people. I think I'll create a video series with accompanying website. #MedievalSky #HistoricDress

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview. "To what end?" the reporter asked. "Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on." "So how do you get it, if not through blood?" "These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."

I have blocked the Economist writer that was posting about the 'hard left' and which you were probably asking for clarification Forgive me he is clearly engagement farming so stupid and self-satisfied

Reporters across the NPR Network are covering the impact of the storm and how officials are responding. We've also got tips for staying safe once bad weather hits. n.pr/49YmElz

I was reading back over my WIP yesterday in a final pass before my beta readers have a go. One of my tertiary characters is named after a friend who passed last year, and as I read the scene, I imagined her in that setting, as if she'd time traveled instead of departing.

I'm glad I can't remember what was happening in the dream that scared me awake at 4am. I would have preferred to be able to go back to sleep, though. 🥱🫩😴😴😫

NEW: I'm releasing tomorrow's show tonight. It's too important. An internal DHS memo instructs ICE to kick your door in without a proper warrant. Please share widely: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsZY...

Some Victorian true crime to break up your doom scrolling.

This is not a POLICY SHIFT. This is illegal! Memos aren't laws!

Cognitive decline usually accelerates. I think that people are underestimating how much more pronounced this will get over the next few months.

Trump’s brain is pure mush. Anyone who hears him speak and thinks “wow he’s making sense” should seek professional help.

The rest of the world absolutely can talk shit about America but there's an awful lot of "Well why don't you just do something" coming from people in countries that are one bad day away from being America 2

David Ellison bought Bari Weiss’s The Free Press for $150 million, then handpicked her to lead CBS News. He “wanted to hire Bari as a symbolic gesture to Donald Trump”—who needed to approve Ellison’s acquisition of Paramount—a media executive said. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/9ZpkWr

I saw someone reply to a troll named David with this GIF, and wish to applaud them.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

A Minnesota man received a life-threatening injury while in ICE custody. It's not clear how he got injured because his memory and ability to communicate are so severely impaired. Agents said "he got his shit rocked." Wild story from @katrinapross.bsky.social sahanjournal.com/health/ice-d...

Although Delta can't figure out how to acquire a gluten free snack option, I *was* impressed that I was able to pick up where I left off watching FotR on the seat back screen on the return flight.

I'd never been to NOLA at this time of year. It was the perfect time, because the Mardi Gras decorations are up, and they're beautiful. Especially at night.

I'm that kind of person who will shovel at least half of my neighbor's sidewalk on either side if it snows while they're away. Today I learned that my neighbors do not return the kindness.

Madeline Summerville: “73.6% of people currently in ICE detention have NO criminal record, according to CATO.”

Other countries are sending their foreign war correspondents to cover ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. The Department of Defence has put the US Army on alert for possible deployment to the city. This was never about immigration. They’re turning it into a war zone.

Wrong. Dangerously wrong. Anyone saying this shit is a bot or MAGA or financially motivated to say this nonsense. Don’t believe the propaganda, it’s a sign of desperation.

the thing is, universal human rights are only universal if they include everyone, even the groups of people society has decided are less important (children, prisoners, people with names you can't pronounce, homeless people, the unemployed, disabled people who don't make good inspiration porn, etc)

The whole world is realizing that they don't need to put up with all of this nonsense

TFW you are full of adrenaline and fury because you spoke up to someone referring to HUMAN Beings as "illegals" If you use the language of the fascists, you get called out for it.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

I know things are frightening right now, but don't forget to share people's art alongside all the news! I feel like I haven't seen much of the writing community getting traction on the TL lately but art has never been more important

This evening Democracy Docket sent out to subscriber and members my reaction to Trump’s call to cancel elections and why this must be an immediate wake-up call. To make sure you receive my analysis and support independent media, sign-up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

She is pleading with them: “I’m disabled! I have a brain injury! Put me down!” She was on her way to a traumatic brain injury Center when they grabbed her and threw her in detention. She requested a doctor, was denied and lost consciousness. Utterly inhumane.

N95s offer superior protection against flu and Covid. They can protect your health and the health of those around you. Many people also find them much more comfortable than surgical masks. If you can’t afford them, look for your local mask bloc. If you can afford them, please donate!

My sleep deprived brain: Classic cartoon characters in a Shakespeare role! Scooby Doo as Hamlet. Because he's a Great Dane. "Ruh roh! Poor Yorick!"

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

Wow. So much campaigning about fighting fentanyl, and then they wipe out funding that will help people trying to break free from addiction.

Posting true facts without also acknowledging the fact that ICE responds violently to these 3 things is irresponsible. Will you co-sponsor Senator Markey & Representative Pressley's Qualified Immunity Abolition Act of 2026? That's all I want to hear from Congresspeople today.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

We don’t allow masked secret police in America. ATF, DEA & FBI have FAR more dangerous jobs taking down actual violent criminals & even they don’t wear masks. ICE wear masks so they can commit crimes without consequences. They are the criminals in this scenario, trampling all over the constitution.

President Donald Trump said he “should have” ordered the National Guard to seize ballot boxes during the 2020 election, raising fears he will actually do so in the upcoming midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.

Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute

Writing isn't easy and fun! It's more like a long drawn out death where the only positive thing anyone says is at least the will is still there! Sit up and write that book you were meant to! What are you even doing here? Doomscrolling for the answers? The answer is survive to tell the story.

Arqueólogos descubren un falo de cristal de 400 años de antigüedad en una antigua letrina de un convento.

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

Minneapolis right now: Parents use their weekend to attend a 3 hour deescalation training so we can be better prepared to support more vulnerable families at school drop off and pick up next week. Teachers create online learning plans for the next 5 weeks. The threat: our fed govt.
