REI here was completely sold out of warm winter socks a week after ICE got here. Just a note that they may not be arriving prepared and it would be a shame if all the socks were already gone

look at their footwear in this — mainers, you have the advantage in knowing your turf here so use it (also plz remember to share if you get pics/vids of these chuds slipping on the winter ice) sending y’all love & solidarity 🫶

Oh shit, this storm is going to be bad, huh? Also “rare ice threat” but it happens every other year and we’re always unprepared for it. But I do appreciate Ted Cruz as the Groundhog who tells me when to keep my sinks dripping overnight.

Once again, the coward leaves people in Texas to suffer. Asshole.

Where I am mentally right now:

Share a television show that raised you

Need to keep up the momentum next month. Need to pay electricity and internet. Plus, food and supplies. Please help me. It's been 27 degrees especially. bsky.app/profile/mvbr...

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

Our electric bill went up an extra $200 compared to last month despite our habits not changing. This is due to an ai data center in one community a 20 min drive away, & a crypto-mining data center 10-ish min drive from here. So they dont just pollute the air & water. They'll make you broke, too.

Boycotts work!

I'm getting close to 40 so I'm gonna wanna learn as much as I can about menopause. Judging what my mom went thru & what contributed to certain symptoms, I *SHOULD* do ok. I need to build muscle tho so I don't lose so much of my muscle mass when it happens. But I still wanna learn all that I can.

Witnessing a dramatic follower transfusion as a result of this thread. People who hate owls: out. People who love owls: in. This was of course very much part of my plan. And comes from the same philosophy as the "NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE OWLS" stickers I now insist are attached to all my books.

You know how nonconsensual surgery on intersex kids is literally just the exact shit that transphobes are claiming to be against, but every anti-trans bill specifically makes sure those can continue? Yeah, that's not ignorance, that's deliberate. Every fascist accusation is a confession.

i am very worried there is an emerging consensus from "trans-supportive" cishets in the US that's basically "you can be trans, but not if you're a child". trans rights ok if they don't have to cede property "rights" over their kids there is no trans liberation without youth liberation

what's wild is this will somehow get 10% of the news coverage of any one of Trump's baseless election theft claims

The 1968 flu pandemic occurred between 1968 and 1970 and killed up to 4 million people globally. It is among the deadliest pandemics in history. Apparently, we didn't learn much because viral pandemics keep happening again and again and again... #Airborne #Cleantheair

Ok but like isn't this the second or third time Air Force One had to turn back during an Atlantic crossing. I know we all want it to be about Trump, but what if they forgot to pack Stephen Miller in the earth of his homeland, and had to turn back before crossing the water?

Everyone including me be like this rn:

people want to accuse me of being a technophobe because I do not want to use AI, and like, bro, you would not have survived the early Internet. it was text only and no one held your hand. you had to want to get on it and have skills to get on it.

Reports of ICE building up resources in Buffalo and shipping in SUVs from Kansas City today. They've been ramping up their attacks all month and it looks like an escalation is coming.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Yeah, we can tell

it's fucking incredible that ice is brutalizing cops now lol

Some liberals are INSISTENT that there are a bunch of Proud Boys in ICE. Why do folks have to believe this? Because they believe in the bad apples explanation for why ICE operates as it does. It's self-soothing and a fairytale.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

🚨 SAC!: Yesterday, legal observers at the Sacramento anti-ICE camp were attacked with bats and bear spray by a parade of MAGA pro-Trump supporters. If you have more information related to this event, please send to our email [email protected]

Let's remember that MLK was assassinated while in Memphis supporting African American sanitation workers who were, despite CNN's weird definition, actually members of the working class.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Well, it’s the 9th anniversary of this today. No special reason for mentioning it now, obviously

It's still remarkable to me how this single clip more or less annihilated this man's rise in politics. He knows Stephen Miller personally, went to the same university, but this humiliation has followed him so closely that he can't get anywhere near power among the fascists. It's beautiful.

I had to do it

I had to do it.

Coercion is not peace. This is like saying a happy family is controlled by the iron fist of the father. It's exactly what George Orwell was criticizing with the concept of "doublethink" in 1984.

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

Trump-Musk want to annex Canada, Greenland & Panama. Not only for the minerals, but to create a Technocracy based on Musk's family fantasy lore. See links. Putin & Trump are all in w/Musk because it dovetails with Trump's Napoleonic fantasy & Putin's imperialism. Technate map below. Look familiar?

Considering they decided not to give me the MacArthur Genius Prize, I no longer feel an obligation to be a pure genius

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."  Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE LOS ANGELES CHAPTER‼️

what in the fucking footloose is going on

To add on to this, because Erin's getting a lot of "ugh, then what CAN we say?" in the comments: the problem is not a naughty list of banned words to be replaced by approved synonyms. The problem is that general "intelligence" as a concept is largely incoherent and only useful for eugenics.

Graffiti around the US in memory of Manuel Teran aka Tortuguita, a 26-year-old Atlanta Forest defender who was shot and killed by cops on 18 January, 2023. The Atlanta city council was clearing the forest to build a massive police training facility dubbed "Cop City".
