white women and queers - and people who love them - this is a good week to look GOP voters you know in the eye and ask them if they think it should be legally permissible for men to shoot you or your loved one in the head on the basis of being a “fucking bitch”

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

I mean congrats, fuckers, you just made the wine moms even angrier now that you’ve directly and specifically threatened their lives

husband fighting with son over the latter's failure to do chores and I could FEEL my heart rate & BP shoot skyward The stress of the moment is not helping me

So, both the Guardian and WaPo were wrong, and they could have proven it to themselves by using the website for 5 minutes.

"law enforcement action" Just completely fell by the wayside. It's full speed ahead on colonial regime change.

OK, here it is: the 2026 Bingo Card quilt pattern, rendered smaller so I can actually put it together without too much difficulty. Anything left over from 2025 is in the pink squares. Red lettering means not yet "called." Free square in the center has been that since 2020.

I forget where I saw it but it always stuck with me... "Dystopian" is when the things that happen to minorities happen to white people

"DHS has shown that harm is not a mistake; it is how the system works." This entire statement from LUCE in Massachusetts is fantastic. Now, more than ever, we all need to step up to keep our communities safe. Considering joining this work: www.lucemass.org

talking to a friend whose father in law just entered hospice care reminded me: I can't praise the hospice providers who cared for my mother enough. And what they couldn't help with, I had @thehappysorceress.bsky.social and @ravensnpennies.com and Motley to carry me through.

Minnesota friends, The State of Minnesota does not need to be invited to participate in the DHS "investigation" of its murder of Renee Good. The sovereign State of Minnesota can and must conduct its own investigation, present its findings to its own grand jury, and bring its own criminal charges.

Breaking in Minnesota, “Fuck you, you evil motherfuckers, where’s your humanity?! Stop killing us! How about that?!”—Protester in Minnesota to ICE officers after they assaulted another protester. #FuckICE #FuckDHS #Minnesota #Protest #ReneeGood #Pinks #Resist #ProudBlue #StrongerTogether

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

So states and cities no longer have the ability to enforce their own laws then? That’s got repercussions they haven’t thought through.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

in case you don’t speak Anglican, this means “if you work for ICE you are going to hell” which is both based and theologically sound

RFK Jr coming out against the agricultural revolution is a darkly fitting end goal. All of his actions would be the same if he was a raw meat-borne pathogen that could be stopped my medicine or killed by fire.

"During this frenzied moment, declining to prosecute state violations of law from immigration enforcement seems like it will simply invite abuse after abuse." prospect.org/2026/01/07/i...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

MERIP is a small nonprofit — our budget for 2026 is under $100k and our average donation is $120! — please consider donating before midnight to help us keep growing in 2026

LLMs are not sentient, are not human. Grok cannot “apologize” or explain how or why any of this is happening. But of course major outlets such as Bari Weiss’s CBS News wrote that Grok “acknowledged ‘lapses in safeguards'." @jasonkoebler.bsky.social with more: Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT9l...

Holiday veggie soup: • leftover roasted carrots/steamed asparagus/steamed broccoli, minced • 2 c chicken broth • 4 small cloves garlic, minced • salt, pepper, thyme to taste • 2 small slices fresh-ish ginger bring to a boil and use stick blender to chop up veggies Not half bad, actually.

My older son turns 21 in 6 weeks. Where the hell did the time go?

Sitting here eating PB pretzel bites and I wasn't paying attention and found myself with a horse tooth in my mouth. It had been sitting on the desk next to the dish the pretzel bites were in. Thank God I didn't bite down on it.

I settle down for my rest pinned down by an overly clingy 120-lb dog, as is my custom

Did the ketamine wear off?

The pro-billionaire lobby got its script greenlighted, I see.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth. This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

This.

As I mentioned to a Canadian commenter earlier… very few of us here in the USA want this insanity, and most of us know it’s blatantly and obviously illegal. We mostly even know the bullshit excuse is a bullshit excuse.

Ah, the 3:30 AM healthcare-and-finances-induced panic attack that wakes one from sleep. Haven’t had one of these in at least a week!

She as told to lie down but the floor is SO HARD. So she sat on the bench instead (it has a cushion).

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

What is the plural of syllabus? At the end of an ancient papyrus or parchment scroll would sometimes be a hanging tag called a σιττύβα that was later misread as σίλλυβος (sillybos). This tag transmitted the title or author of the work. Thus the true neo-Greek plural should be sillyboi, which is fun.

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.

We killed grandmothers in their apartment. No better than what Putin does in Kharkiv and Kyiv

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

YouTube served up AI ad with some white guy howling, "why MAINE pays more for car insurance..." My artificial dude, I used to live and insure cars in Boston. Do not sit there saying I'm spending more on my cars in ME than in MA. My experience is reality. You're slop.

i quite like idea that someone on here had of treating any criminal act committed by an ai as having been committed by the ai company’s ceo

Patriarchy to women: Your job in life is to have babies! Patriarchy to unwed mothers: You had a baby? WHORE. Patriarchy to working mothers: You shouldn't have a baby if you can't afford to stay home with it. Patriarchy to women who've finished raising kids: You can die now. Fuck you, Patriarchy.

Here is a kitten. She wants you to take a deep breath. There’s a lot of smart people who have good ideas about how to harness the outrage & dread and put it to work. Direct action, community outreach, mutual aid, calls to your reps to demand impeachment. For now, breathe. Then go fight fascism.
