1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Pointed out a lot lately that trans genocide is a gentry conspiracy. Well, here's one of them.

The nazis raided and burned the first gender clinic. The Reagan revolution closed down most of the gender clinics in the US and left coverage uninsurable for decades. We've been here before. We'll get through just as we always have. With strength and resilience in community. They can't eradicate us.

Today's post is urgent: @kwanetaharris.bsky.social writes about her abuser as an incarcerated woman: the state. Isn't she, as a woman, worthy of being defended and protected? www.theflytrapmedia.com/aint-we-wome...

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

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.

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history. Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller. ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Ha, you thought I wouldn't repost because there's no alt? Handled.

Trans people were the pretext but this was about allowing more sexual harassment in the workplace. Yet, the media will fixate on trans people to make it seem like it only affected us, which it didn't since the guidance covering trans people was already enjoined. www.npr.org/2026/01/22/n...

The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people. This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

They are consistently proving our worst fears and suspicions. ICE is an irredeemable enterprise. “ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Did the Civil Rights Act oppress the people who are overrepresented in homeownership, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, wealth, income, school funding, college admission, executive leadership & white tears distribution? We BlackChecked Trump's claim.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

recorded this last week

All jails and prisons are death-making institutions! Our whole criminal system cages people and shrugs when they die! This is like everything the government does! And yes, abolish it all.

This is quite a post www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/reality-is...

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend. This is Alice's story:

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

And less opposition.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

The vast majority of people being raped, kidnapped, shot, and killed by ICE are women

Ongoing and obvious reminder that firing chemical weapons directly at people's heads like this *is* deadly force.

…it should break your heart to kill.

One thing that shouldn't be missed is that the woman murdered was queer and was murdered right in front of her wife. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

Hey so this modern terror squad is doing exactly what they were hired to do. This has always been about terrorizing residents into submission. He didn't cozy up to dictatorship fans for shits & giggles. He idolized them and wants to be one.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time. It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

Sometimes I think about Harris‘s ”most lethal military in the world” line from her DNC speech and today is one of those days

The US is a warmongering superpower and so awful economically that within hours finance CEOs are on the ground to assess what money they can make. This country’s entire history is a thin veil over constantly attacking countries to exploit their resources for their own gain.

It went from “America First” to “we’re going to run Venezuela” in less than a year. And Americans still don’t have affordable housing, healthcare, or groceries.

Oh. Could be worse I guess?

I think it’s important people pick up on the recurring theme that the *existence* of anything which isn’t about them is interpreted as a personal attack on them. Kwanzaa can’t be about Black people it must be about hating white people.

One time I almost got sued by FIRE bc a student said he had the right to post photos of another student’s home in a discord server with veiled threats of violence. Same student quoted hitler, which feels relevant. That’s who FIRE serves, not free speech.

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

It’s the entire point. There’s no plan to make this meaningful for students. No plan to use it administratively. Its design and implementation signals its only real intent. It’s best and easiest use case is for systematic harassment and to scare faculty into complying in advance.

By failing to examine Cass’s assertions critically and provide even basic context, the nyt failed its most fundamental journalistic duty. It handed over its space and authority to an anti-trans campaigner. The “conversation with” story was propaganda disguised as news.

Breaking: Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.” Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

“Cutting costs” does a lot of work to obscure that they want to cut very particular costs, the labor of faculty, TAs, staff, while being extremely excited to funnel large, maybe infinite, amounts to private corporations, while destroying the core mission and alienating students etc
