ABOLISH ICE

A bit ago I remembered that during the Civil War, the 1st Minnesota Infantry captured the battle flag of the Virginia 28th. Yes, THAT Confederate battle flag. It resides in Minneapolis. They could do the funniest shit in the world, and burn that fucker publicly while everyone is watching!

I lost a friend over my article about the murder of Renee Nicole Good. He was angry I called out the underlying misogyny. He was mad I didn’t give ICE the benefit of the doubt. He made it personal. He told me my “stupid clown hair” is why people don’t take me seriously

I'm just going to repost it everyday until it finds its audience. Anyone out there a Chicago theatre or film artist? Any artist that uses costumes really. www.consciouscostume.com/circle

The idea some people have that certain forms of resistance are somehow playing into Trump's hands is really weird to me. The administration doesn't *need* a pretext for anything they want to do, and they'll present deliberately flimsy pretexts just to rub that fact in our faces.

BOTH of my daily news podcasts have changed their music at the new year. Total. Nightmare.

11 days ago I scribbled some disjointed thoughts about what a year of photographing the men of ICE felt like. Most of it isn't worth sharing, but these lines here—yeah. I guess. Yeah. All I can say this afternoon is God will know what to do with them.

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

I have no words. Renee Nicole Good, 37. May her memory be a blessing. May our love move us. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

I've realized that it's difficult to pay attention to politics NOW because people didn't do it for decades — and that allowed the corruption to flourish. Now we hate looking at what we've become. It's demoralizing. But if we had always been an informed electorate, we never would have become this.

Five years ago they started a coup, and it was ultimately successful because we didn't [REDACTED]. Just like we should have [REDACTED] with Nixon and didn't, just like we should have [REDACTED] during Reconstruction and didn't. No amnesty. No reconciliation. Truth and retribution.

We have a plan to get through January together. Lots of our events are virtual, so wrap yourself in a blanket, grab a snack, and join us from the couch!

Charlie Kirk was a husband and a father. We heard it over and over again Only certain types of people get to be husbands and fathers. Some people are simply civilians. Faceless, nameless and without consequence. Civilians die. It's what they do

"It's a distraction!" "It's a distraction!" Listen: I need you to understand that this administration is capable of doing multiple evil things at the same time.

This is a good omen for Conscious Costume.

Shoutout to the cashier at the state store in Uniontown doing their job with a goatee and acrylic nails. Trump has won here by more than 2:1 margins and there's an active hard right in the area. So I recognize the courage that takes and it honestly made my day to see it.

Apparently my activism makes people in my life uncomfortable. To the point where they avoid me because they think I'm judging them. My goal is not to judge, it's to inform; to just share my own experiences and preferences; to make sure that people in my life make informed choices.

How I'm walking out of 2025.

Good. It's working.

Not just gas chambers. They were the test bed demographic for mass killing generally via starvation and intravenous poisons before testing gas, and before that, half a million were forced sterilized too. The T4 program was a methodological experiment and cultural tolerance litmus. Never forget.

The real monsters were the Frankensteins we made along the way

Sixty years ago this week in the Berkshire (MA) Eagle: "Saturday, Richard J. Robbins, 19, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Arlo Guthrie, 18, of Howard Beach, N.Y., each paid a fine of $25 in Lee District Court after pleading guilty of illegally disposing of rubbish...." web.archive.org/web/20201125... 1/2

You've just died. The sixth picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

My grand unified theory of suburbia is that camera doorbells are like SUVs, they provide an illusion of security while making you more paranoid

This is a brilliant for of protest and can and should be adapted to many other uses. This is really really smart protest.

The only appropriate response

Denzel Washington in Man On Fire wouldn’t have gotten this out of me & dude got on the internet, typed this shit out & hit send. This being what’s left of those defending Trump & choosing THIS to be the spartan shield formation is still so fucking crazy to me.

Americas fascist concentration camps are only getting bigger and more in line with their historic counterparts. Engineered Mass death is coming to America in all of its brutal efficiency.

Just completely ignoring that the vacancy is because the rent is too high for many stores to afford.

The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.

1/4 I'm going to go ahead and say it. Enjoy the Pittsburgh election result, but at the end of the day, Corey is going to need to show up and put up or shut up. My biggest gripes against Gainey were that he came from the state legislature, (more) #Pittsburgh

I didn't vote for O'Connor, I voted against the other guy. I sincerely hope that Corey takes some cues from Mamdani and makes a Pittsburgh that is for all people.

Good thread

I'm visiting my pregnant friend while her husband is out of town and telling everyone that I'm the husband's understudy. So far, I'm the only one who thinks it's hilarious.

I hate gyms so I got dogs instead.
