On Wednesday, Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent. Becca Good, her wife, shared the following statement with MPR News.

All of the names. All of the stories.

This is an incredibly upsetting day for all of us. Call your reps and go to protests tomorrow but for now just post your cute animal pics and videos here.

If Renee Good is a "a domestic terrorist" according to Kristi Noem it means the label is meaningless and will be used by the Trump Administration to murder anyone it wants. From Venezuelan fishermen to anti Trump protestors in the No Kings Rally. Eyes wide open, friends.

Calling my Rep to urge him to support.

From an email to one of our faculty members.... Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

Anyone else pick their mammogram location based on thrift store proximity?

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Reading the new Harryette Mullen book and it’s funny to me that she has a poem about a Rabbit Duck because David Shapiro & Richard Hell wrote a chapbook on the same topic. I don’t have a copy. Can someone with a copy post it here to compare? Maybe @jordandavis.bsky.social

There's an amazing HUGE orange cheshire cat smile moon low in the sky, but I can't get a picture of it. Did you? If so, please share. I need proof.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Sitting in the dentist office and a super offensive transphobic Dr Phil is playing and all I can say is I’m glad I took a Klonopin for my filling otherwise I’d be throwing teeth at the TV.

Evil.

I want to buy some green curtains. Friends say to make them, but I am not crafty.

Got a tariff bill for 15 dollars for a free fabric sample.

Happy Hanukah!

I need to not use Instacart. I thought I was treating myself to a small piece of truffle cheese and instead they sent expresso martini cheese. I don't want my cheese to be surreal.

So cool to see my second book is reaching new readers more than two decades after its publication.

Between living in a state of hyper-vigilance, enduring widespread loss, and bearing witness to purposeful cruelty while powerless to stop it, we are all experiencing trauma—even if we as individuals or as members of a vulnerable group are not being targeted directly. Be gentle with yourselves.

More like cutting your legs off and gaining 80 pounds.

Wasn’t it only a minute ago that the right claimed to care about “free speech”?

I’m going to Albuquerque in a couple of days. My parents lived there for more than a decade after they retired. I can’t imagine how it’s going to feel to be there.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and scared and sad, remind yourself of what you can do and then do it Got extra cash? Donate to a food pantry Extra time? Phone bank or canvas Have little kids? Model kindness and communal care Do what you can and push to do a little more than you think you can

I was so honored to read with Lauren Russell and Cecilia Woloch. Here's the recording. us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/cl...

Feel like ICE recruits should be required to pass the same citizenship test as the people they are persecuting.

I guess “Let them eat ballrooms” is too obvious.

I just keep thinking about the first guy to put on the frog costume reading the news today and seeing frogs literally all over the world what a fucking thing, man that 25 year old did more for the country in a week than most of the NYT op-ed section in a lifetime

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

I’m looking forward to Speaker Johnson being asked about this and his response being he never heard of Santos.

The Overton window moved to full on Nazi —though considering Americans were celebrating lynching before Hitler, you could say it’s just moved backwards.

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred
