first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

May Virginia Giuffre's memory be for a revolution.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

I don't think these are unreasonable asks

Losing Duvall and Wiseman on the same day is kind of extra sad, because they were two men whose work was so suffused with curiosity, and an ability to reveal humanity, in a way that spoke to it’s most caring, loving aspects, even when they were revealing the darkness. A lot of love in all that work.

Thou shalt not hunt down critics of ICE while letting pedophiles run free.

That’s Dan❤️‍🩹🦅

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors. youtu.be/uoU9Img_B40

She taught us what love, hope, and resolve look like.   My condolences to her family and loved ones. Ofelia is an inspiration. May we carry her light with us as we fight for all our loved ones who must be released. 2/2

The thing that makes this extra funny to me is that I think the cat is about to say this is all moving too fast…

I feel a strange need to repost this art. Sometimes art needs reposting y'know? Like this art. Did you know lionesses sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? Apparently bees, ants, & termites do this too. #art Available as a print! www.inprnt.com/gallery/pala...

again: what’s it like working in healthcare during a federal occupation? i implore comrades of #medsky 🩺and to a certain extent #lawsky ⚖️ to pay attention to what they’re doing to us here & over prepare as much as feasible

How am I supposed to explain 'from New Jersey' to the children?

Today we honor opera singer Leontyne Price on her 99th birthday! Price become the first African American to be a leading perform for the Metropolitan Opera.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

they didn't just break the law, they broke The Law

Summers in private: endlessly scheming with the world's most famous pervert to get a young female colleague whom he calls by a racist nickname to fuck him at conferences. Summers in public: "I don't see that many women in my field, it must be because they're bad at math"

Beauty is not a luxury; rather it is a way of creating possibility in the space of enclosure, a radical art of subsistence, an embrace of our terribleness, a transfiguration of the given. It is a will to adorn, a proclivity to the baroque, and the love of too much. —Saidiya Hartman, Wayward Lives…

Suddenly realizing that in 10-20 years, the MN Historical Society will have an exhibit about *all this* and there will be a whole wall showing different types of whistles

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the only way to ensure a free and just society for our children and grandchildren is to enact policies as soon as possible that tax billionaires out of existence, removes their influence from politics, and breaks up the companies they've consolidated.

Abolish BORTAC

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

how can we suffer these people to live among us, let alone purport to rule us? they're not just our enemies. they're an affront to the human experiment. they're hostile to all life not their own. they'd burn any number of us alive to avoid even a moment of mild discomfort. hideous

It is Caucus today! I hope you’ll join us at 7pm to build the community we deserve. We need you to show up to raise your voice and change the DFL party platform to support abolishing ICE and ending the federal occupation in Minneapolis. Find more info at IlhanOmar.com/Caucus

Union Carpenter Derek Ellis of Skowhegan was down the street from his job site in Portland when he saw ICE agents shout at a woman to "get the hell out" of her car. As they tore her out of her car, she screamed "I'm a US citizen! I'm a citizen!" as her small child in a carseat cried hysterically.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For Liam.

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.

Dan understood that a story is only as good as the person telling it. He could turn the Wildwood boardwalk, or a mall, or a Chonky Cat into something divine. He understood better than most what makes Philly weird and feral and wonderful. May his memory be a blessing. Gonna egg Patullo’s house again

If the Democrats approve the unprecedented DHS and ICE funding package (3x 2024’s already record budget!) based on these meaningless and, in any event, unenforceable “reforms,” it will be among the greatest moral betrayals and strategic failures of the modern era.

A new biography by Rolling Stone writer Jonathan Bernstein, What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome, draws from interviews with family, friends, and colleagues to look at the unvarnished truth of Just Townes Earle’s life and legacy.

@schumer.senate.gov Shame on you. Abolish ICE, break up DHS now.

Firing Bovino but not restoring this baby to his family tells you all you need to know

Happy Birthday, Angela Davis!

The program was designed to increase employment, literacy & to create a social fabric between isolated mountain communities. This is the future liberals want: harnessing the awesome power at the intersection of horse girls, librarians, and government programs designed to help people. ❤️📖

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
