The casualties already coming in. Grandmothers in their apartments….

1. I dgaf if they’re celebrating the removal of a despot or welcoming Charlie Chaplin. It is not the US’s business. 2. The US is a dictatorship that starves, kills, and rips countless families apart. Here, there, everywhere. So what should other countries do here?

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

OMG 😭 Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure." LIFE SAVING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhEx...

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

this kinda stuff is prohibited in the EU thanks to all the "red tape" that's "slowing down innovation" that big tech constantly complains about

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

The world is a terrible place. Here's Luna sleeping by the window between Papa and a guitar

CNN commentator just now: "You have to congratulate the administration on keeping this quiet". The news media is a huge contributor to the rise of unlawful tyranny.

We the People are the thugs of the world.

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks” whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to” don’t give them cover on it

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

"Why are we arresting Maduro and not Netanyahu?" Because Netanyahu works for us, and Maduro didn't. That's really the difference. We are the global hegemon. We aren't the good guys. If Putin gave us oil and tribute, we'd sell him cheap weapons, just like Netanyahu.

calling everyone. everyone.

We the People are the thugs of the world.

@aaron.bsky.team, bring Lexi back and stop suspending Palestinians on the basis of their nationality and who they are. It's hateful, discriminatory and morally repugnant what you & the others are doing to Palestinians on Bluesky. Not even past coverage on your website's conduct brings shame, right.

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

I have been driving all day but would be so mad at myself if I didn’t share this absolutely PHENOMENAL @cherylpappas.bsky.social story we have up at @hexliterary.bsky.social this week. Do. Not. Miss.

This perfect good boy just got admitted to the ER overnight so if anyone feels like buying digital albums on Bandcamp this is a great time to do it.

Heyyyyy, so did you know that Muñeca is now available to request on NetGalley? www.netgalley.com/catalog/book... Well, now you do! Please spread the word far and wide :)

“But in a modern, free, and truly democratic society, it should not be a mystery for days to its population and its voters whether or not their president has just bombed a new sovereign nation, without any declaration of war – all while the federal government that’s funded by our tax dollars…

Two adorbes in a cardboard box— Luna & Kyrie

I want to tell a story here of what happens when a society, dominated by cruelty, desperation & contempt -- both indigenous as well as colonial -- begins to marginalize its most vulnerable -- in this case intersex people or hejras, as they're called in South Asia Thread

A New Reader in the Family & Two More Adorbes

Two weeks ago on a whim as usual I signed up for the Mount Dora half marathon. I’ve been running more for pleasure and exercise lately thqn for specific goals so it’s nice to know that I can still hit an under-1:50 without special training.

I'm a veteran criminal justice reporter. I've never seen anything like ICE-occupied Memphis. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

These people can fuck off. I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user. I can walk from the gate to the plane, but not the 2 miles w/in an airport from the outer doors to the plane. More disabled people don't get services they need than the # of able-bodied scammers. Articles like this make things worse.

In the midst of all the horrible shit over the last few days, I missed this horrible shitty article. My dad can walk when he needs to but he has a handicap sticker on his car and we've used wheelchairs to get him through airports. Because while he can do it, it's a huge fucking struggle for him.

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

In the last 24 hrs there were 2 terrorist attacks - one at Brown Uni and one especially horrendous one at Bondi Beach in Australia. More than 15 Jewish people were killed in the second attack. +

No matter what the Zs says, Muslims and Jews are as close as two fingers of the same hand. We should remember and cherish that. Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish brothers & sisters all over the world!

Thought this was a nice holiday season picture. Happy holidays, all I'm grateful for much and grateful for you all

NYT reports that the TSA is giving ICE a list of every person who's to be taking a domestic flight inside the US so ICE can run it through their database looking for targets. I'm not a lawyer, but I feel like the 4th Amendment has something to say about this. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

Congratulations to every House Democrat and 20 Republicans for voting to restore the constitutional right to a union for over a million federal employees. The Senate must pass this bipartisan provision immediately. All workers, including federal employees, have the right to be in a union.

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting. I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
