very much doubting Bovino getting demoted changes anything materially but it is probably making a lot of the right people very mad and that's a win

what we consider lunch time is way too close to breakfast. Lunch should be like 1:30 or 2, not at noon. Just a thought.

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland. Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

The core of Trump's project is an attempt to destroy the possibility of virtue itself. They seek to normalize brutality, to accustom us to servility and cruelty. Their goal is to mass-produce a new kind of human being: selfish, rapacious, and motivated chiefly by hatred. To care is to fight. 🖤🏴

in the end the fed was the friends we made along the way

she's saying this cause ICE wants to leave and they wanna look like they're leaving cause they won, not cause they're cold and scared. they dunno if the next killing is gonna set off the powder keg, or the one after that, but they do know they have no way to stop their guys from killing if they stay

bro's missing out on candle

had to subscribe to that labeler that blocks twitter screenshots, I can't look at what this admin has to say about anything anymore. The way they communicate everything is disgusting. Twitter needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

living in this era means if you haven't talked to a friend in a few months the next time you chat you'll have the chance to discuss at least 10 history making events

i fear the democratic party dream of making it 1995 again forever may now be impossible to achieve

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

how far can you push an entire city, man. The entirety of my heart goes out to everyone in Minneapolis shouldering this.

time to go to work and pretend everything is normal

SLUGGO’S SATURDAY

Been thinking about this conversation in The Crying of Lot 49

I love the ability of the people to spontaneously connect and organize without the need for rigid pre-existing structures and hierarchies. A beautiful, miraculous outburst of love and fellowship in a time of crisis.

a few days ago this magazine story calling what Trump is doing “anarchy” was going around, ignoring a very different whole other thing in US political history called “anarchism”—and here is Minneapolis, illustrating what that can be so beautifully

inescapable conclusion is we have no laws, just cops

it's so cold out that the air hurts to breathe

coworker asked me if I was on any social media at all since I said I don't use tiktok and I had to explain what bluesky was to him. Never doing that again.

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

If you can’t run against the fucking Gestapo, then get out of the way for those who can.

winter sucks after the first month but there are simple pleasures like hitting defrost and watching all the snow slowly melt on your windshield and also the certain amber hue that streetlamps start to give off during a snowstorm

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

that Hakeem Jeffries refuses to oppose this tells you all you need to know about him

who wants to fall in love before world war 3

been too long since we had a good time thinking it happened

Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.

Immigration officers are caught on video violating policy, training, and settled law pretty much every day. The administration just cheers them on. What makes anyone think they're going to implement any of these "guardrails?" They think de-escalation is woke. This is just giving them more money.

the temporal front of the culture war

they should put the Haruspex in the next Smash Bros.

studies have shown that bodycams have zero impact on police brutality complaints but do lead to higher conviction rates for ‘assaults against officers’ in case youre wondering why they seem to be the one thing politicians push in times like these

putting a hole in my wall every time some random guy in a news article is quoted saying opposing ICE isn't a political issue

A general strike is called for January 23 in response to the campaign of kidnapping and murder that ICE is carrying out in the Twin Cities. This is a powerful step forward for resistance. But in the 21st century, a general strike must assume new forms to succeed. crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralSt... 🧵⬇️

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

found myself subscribed to a youtube channel I have no memory of subscribing to called The Hamster Lab

creating a support group for Gamers with Eczema

Im like the joker because i like to smile laugh and be silly and sometimes people dont get my since of humor

has anyone else had trouble with bluesky links just never embedding in discord anymore

this is how it feels to be younger than 38 on bluesky

a midlife crisis is the perfect opportunity to commission the construction of a bathysphere

there is too much stuff there should be like five of everything at most

why is it breaking news every time X goes down, the media acts like it's an emergency

I go on break at work and consume 15 minutes worth of news about nazis and then I go back to work and wonder why I'm miserable all day

Maybe they'll wake up and have a backbone once they realize the fascists will blame them for people not rolling over anyways, if only to save their own skin

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...
