Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it.

WT everliving F : DHS busts into a building, rappeling from helicopters, rousting all the residents into the street in various states of distress and bust up their places. We saw this BS during the Charles Stuart investigations - why isn't this bigger news? - chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Happy birthday @scalzi.com ! ANd we're hoping that @gailsimone.bsky.social can forgive you for whatever you did.

seconded. this hotline is one reason Rümeysa’s case got such quick attention and is worth keeping handy

If Bill Maher is so offended about being compared to Nazi's, maybe he needs to consider the company he keeps. Or interviews.

After the words “transgender” and “queer” were removed from the National Park Service’s website for the Stonewall National Monument, a landmark of the LGBTQ pride movement in New York City, protesters filled nearby Christopher Park Friday with a simple message: “You can’t erase us.”

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The Mayor of Newark says ICE detained citizens and a military veteran in a warrantless raid there today. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states. To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

Don’t say “This isn’t us” because obviously it is. I’m going to do my damnest to protect those I love who are affected by these racist, transphobic policies but you all need to stop this denial BS.

What's with the sudden uptick in cybertrucks? It feels like I see one daily just about. I don't understand the appeal. They look like bad 80's sci fi refugees, and from what I understand, they're dangerous and they don't look particularly fun to drive.

So we're just going to minimize that Elon's space dildo detonated? Maybe should be a bigger news story. www.newsweek.com/spacex-stars...

Is it sad that I’m surprised Bob Uecker died because I swear he’s died three times before?

Close to a million migrants will be shielded from deportation for up to 18 months.

We don’t forget. This is what January 6th is:

Nothing like starting the new year with bad news. Here’s hoping that the injured in New Orleans heal quickly and that those killed are remembered kindly (with the exception of the murderer). Here’s hoping that the police render justice properly and investigate fully.

New personal policy- while sex work is work, if I see a 0nlyF@ns link in your bio when you follow me, I’m likely to block you.

Matt Gaetz is a gun owner and drug user. Did he disclose that when applying for the gun permit? Sounds quite similar to what they prosecuted Hunter Biden for. Huh.

Matt Gaetz - paid to be a pedofile.

Vlado Chernozemski, who assassinated King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, belonged in his youth to a club that was devoted to a game of regicide. In the game, known as "chess," contestants subtly maneuver into a position that allows them to topple the opponent's monarch.

So this doesn't get buried during the whole Tania Fernandes debacle: lots of our state legislators have these conflict of interest and need to recuse themselves, or sanctioned. #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/06/m...

Sometimes I draw robots that don't even transform into other things. Just imagine. Here's Atomic Robo. One of the best comics no one is reading. Somewhere between Invincible, Tom Strong and Hellboy. Cracking stuff.

I thought this was telling and an excellent reminder. Charles Schultz saying "our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities." kottke.org/24/10/charle...

Will's Ferrell's thoughts quoted here echo some of my own. There are trans folks I've known on both sides of their transitions. Getting to live as who they've always been makes a difference, and I want people, particularly the people I like and love, to be at home with their own selves.

When you’re packing, interesting things appear.
