hahahahahahaha

Literally, we are so obnoxious you guys

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

finished embroidering my jacket :)

or anything else, really

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

that’s right

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Oh, okay. I'll bite. The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution. The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

Once again, abolition isn't nearly enough. We need criminal prosecutions for everyone involved in this shit

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

No Kings includes Draft Kings

I think the Curlers should start celebrating like the snowboarders by stripping off and sliding down the lane penguin-style

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Naah, I want them on trial.

One of my academia-related takeaways from the Epstein business is that a lot of people who are chasing money aren’t doing it to facilitate more and better research, they’re chasing money so they can avoid doing more work and enter powerful circles to be celebrated for what they’ve already done.

"The other iron law of reactionary centrism...is that only the left and liberals really have agency. The right just reacts – everything is always backlash, never a self-generated political project." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I wrote a quick piece about what it would really mean to abolish ICE

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

If Dems are squeamish about "abolish," fine, the demand is still simple: zero funding for ICE and CBP. Pretend you just want a "pause" to "sort it out." Whatever. But, yeah, "do not vote to fund murder and other rampant lawbreaking by Trump's gestapo" is indeed a "purity test" you must pass.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

I dislike when people reduce important, history-making moments in modern life to pop culture references. But also fuck it, this is a super great time to rewatch Andor.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Dear Anne Hathaway: Please let this Letter serve to represent that I am withdrawing my invitation to you regarding your joining me for dinner, the most delicious meal ever assembled, this weekend. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

apropos of the forecast, my favorite Onion article theonion.com/nyc-mayor-re...

Call your Senator and see if they can do something to block the budget for these fascists.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

minnesota coming together to show us all how to stand up against ICE is such a beautiful display of what solidarity looks like

Retrain the DOJ I say as they bolt me into the Titan submarine

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland. If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

It's very prudent to have It Happened drills regularly, just to keep everyone in peak Posting shape.

In the latest #WITHPod, @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social and I take some time to explain the exact origins of this insanity.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
