“IT WAS MURDER” Several hundred people have formed a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach today (Sat Jan 10, 2026) 👏👏 (📸 Erik Castro)

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

I would uh Hesitate to repost this one as we have a video of her wife at the scene after it happened. A grandfather saying "he has no one, I'll come get him" with that context reads like they don't acknowledge her queer partner

As you listen to DHS and ICE offer their excuses and justifications for murdering an American mother in cold blood, a quickly-forgotten reminder from Chicago: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

ICE isn’t bad because they’re doing a bad job at something that is necessary. it is that they are wholly unnecessary, and their function is evil.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

As told by the late dancer and choreographer Agnes DeMille.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

literally a perfect movie, no notes

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

RFK Jr’s CDC posting lies about vaccines and autism on their website isn’t just misinformation, it’s intentionally weaponized eugenicist rhetoric that will kill people.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

You can oversee the bloody dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist with a bone saw, and the president of the United States will smile, shake your hand and threaten to pull the license of a news outlet whose reporter asks you a question about it. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

This is how to write a headline about repeated liars.

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

another speaker describes waking up to ice agents detaining a woman in his backyard. “we need our schools funded, we don’t need ice,” he says. “we need housing, we don’t need ice. we need food, we don’t need ice. and even when we get all of that, we don’t need ice!”

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

An astonishing crowd! By u/sandrakaufmann in r/chicago

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old. There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Firmen, a legal clerk for a powerful noble house, is drowning in debt. To escape indenture, he sells his employers’ secrets. But when he falls in love with a man the nobles are blackmailing, he must find a way to save them both. WITCHMARK x GODKILLER #DVpit #A #F #SFF #LGBT

Four years ago, musician Lor was callow and naïve. Now, she’s polished enough to dazzle noble society with her musical skill—and win back Veren, the girl who broke her heart. But she doesn’t know that she’s stepping into a deadly political conspiracy—with Veren at its center. #DVpit #A #F #LGBT

Chicago's alleyways are so good

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

This is genuinely some bullshit on bsky's part. A reaction meme of charlie kirk gets a Black person a permanent suspension, but people who actively doxx and spread hate against marginalized people not only get to stay, but het followed by mods? We see you, bsky, and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Some people sincerely feel that: — Migrants are destroying communities. It’s still racist. — LGBT folk are corrupting children. It’s still homo/transphobic. — Disabled people are burdens in workplaces. It’s still ableist. Emotional sincerity without critical reflection makes dangerous politics.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

The process is at least half the point. This is true for research as art. You cannot make a thing without learning how to use the tools of making, and learning why, and what effects they produce, and how making it... I'm going to be slightly weird here: making it makes you, too.
