ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid. And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

I'm back to creating more protest art. I'm incandescently angry about what is happening in Minneapolis/St. Paul. I'm heartbroken over the murder of Renee Good. I will be staying salty about ICE for the foreseeable future. Abolish ICE!!

The whole timeline is fuck ice and fuck Aaron Rodgers. It's beautiful.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T GET YOUR VACCINES, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARON

I feel bad for Aaron Rodgers* *is what I would say to signal to my family I have been kidnapped.

The US has 340M+ people & 3.8M SQ miles of land Trump/Miller CAN'T implement martial law everywhere and they know it They don't have the manpower to cover all that That's why they're trying to scare us into submission. They want us to obey in advance To that we all need to say F*CK You, Make Me!

This story has been updated throughout the day/eve (and will continue to be!). Follow for updates on the feds' shooting of of two Portlanders this afternoon -- and related protests and lawmakers response.

Trump is trying to force US oil companies to rebuild Venezuelan oil fields that are too expensive to invest in at current crude prices while a full blown energy revolution is happening with cheap solar and electrification growing exponentially. This is a dying empire shit.

All the unnecessary self judgment we subject ourselves to! I get cold, so grab a sweater - only to put it aside cause it wasn't the right color. I'm at home & not going anywhere. Who cares if I'm wearing a pink sweater that clashes horribly with my red shirt??

No Alabama or Georgia? No OSU, USC or WA? Where's Texas? (any of the Texas teams) Anyone know? 🤷 While the CFPs may be flawed, I'm liking the shakeups so far!

I'm clearly watching this game in the right place - can't miss a single play, even in restroom! #GoDucks

Warning: there will be an onslaught of college football posts shortly. We're heading to an all-day playoff watch party at a friend's. Starts with our homemade waffles, fruits & spreads, will roll into chinese takeout buffet midday. We've got coffee, electrolyte blends & NA beer ready. #GoDucks

This, not Fat Hitler’s claims of “victory,” is why the national guard aren’t in portland.

This may seem overly simplistic but I think it’s kind of obvious as an adult that that you should be able to choose other adults to fuck or not fuck based on any reason you want without being scolded

📣 We have a really special announcement! Evie McGee and Stephen Colbert have generously offered to match all donations to The 19th up to $10,000 through midnight tomorrow. We are so honored to have their support, especially at a moment when courage in coverage matters more than ever.

We have a very large, fiesty bald eagle in care. So far we’ve had to force feed her. She’s finally decided to eat on her own, but only large fish. If anyone in Portland has connections to someone who fishes and is willing to donate salmon, trout or something of similar size, pls let me know.

After the private equity firm Alden Capital purchased the Chicago Tribune some years ago, many of its best people left or were pushed out, diminishing the paper and its importance. But those who remained do great work, like Mr Pratt, here. The first draft of a terrible history.

I baked twice in the last 24 hours: monkey bread muffins & rosemary olive-oil rolls. Total 2025 baking episodes: Two. I stopped baking 8+ years ago - I stopped eating carbs, there's just us two, yadda yadda Okay, okay - I'm rusty, out of practice & lazy AF these days, so I cheated.

Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself 1. Does this need to be said 2. Does this need to be said by me 3. Does this need to be said by me right now It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)

Before you post that screenshot from X, amplifying the fascist message of the day, consider doing anything else instead. There are literally so many other things you could do.

Lord knows I'm not a fan of any of this corporate media consolidation — Netflix and Paramount both should be barred from buying WBD. But in terms of sending a message, would be stellar if everyone watched Good Night and Good Luck on Netflix together next Sunday when 60 Minutes is on the air.

Tonight, the longest night of the year, reminds us how unsafe the streets become after dark for people without shelter. We remember those who died while homeless, often alone. Many were our guests. Every life mattered and deserves to be named. Vigil 5–7 p.m., 601 W Burnside, St. André Bessette’s.

16 plays. Four touchdowns. Balling now! #GoDucks

Set the tone, Ducks! (And hello to all of you on the #GoDucks feed!!! TOUCHDOWN!

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Congressional investigation now.

This is the boringest game ever. So I'm doing houseplant maintenance while I long for Cristobal smackdown. Sorry not sorry #GoDucks

It’s the first round of #CFBPlayoff Day! If you’re a Ducks fan, join us over at one of the largest college football communities/feeds on Bluesky #GoDucks 💚💛

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Listen I need you guys to understand this. Trump did nothing of substance about cannabis today. He signed an executive order, the equivalent of posting a tweet on fancy letterhead. That does nothing on its own.

"There are 97 callers ahead of you in the queue!" It's December 15th. I'm a self-employed independent contractor. Guess what queue I'm waiting in...????

Paging @duv.bsky.social - read the entire thread! Do you know why there's specific references to Willamette Univ as part of this old Coca-Cola marketing campaign?

This. Jews are no more to blame for the actions of Israel than Muslims are to blame for the actions of ISIS. Collective blame is bigotry.

💯 - I feel SEEN.

It is the time to test all the holiday lights. Yep, even the cheap battery-operated ones that have sat dormant for 2 years. What's this? The plug-in strings we forgot about before we just bought MOAR plug-ins, thinking we didn't have? Cool - I get to drape more plants with lights, I guess??

Don’t fucking buy Starbucks Oh My God

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

Goddam why does 1918 go so hard

Troy Dye ended up nabbing the bouncing ball! #ProDucks #GoDucks

Lazy day for day-after booster shots. Slept 11+ hrs since mid-day yesterday. Left arm sore AF - yep, I'm moving it around anyway. Biggest effort? Spent today tracking weak Dec ☀️ through new-to-us south-facing windows in both LR & my office. Just finished finessing indoor 🌿 placement.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. Also easy:
