A call to action for witches, magic and woo-ish folks: Let’s melt away ICE & invoke liberation this Imbolc (Feb 1) Imbolc is the midpoint between winter and spring and a perfect time to melt some ICE and invoke liberation

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Nimco Omar, a citizen and long-time Minneapolis resident, was on her way to work when federal agents demanded to see her ID. Her viral video shows agents repeatedly asking her where she was born, with Omar calmly refusing and stating her rights. They finally gave up.

“It’s a shakedown. They’re trying to use the power of the federal government to scare Minnesota officials into handing over voter rolls... Trump wants that state voter data so that he has the ability to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

I cannot stress this enough, if ordered to do so, these people would be putting bullets in the heads of every single protestor without a second thought. This is imperial propaganda and military apologia at work. They are a threat to us here just as other branches are doing terrorism abroad. Wake up!

In May, I told Rubio that locking up students for exercising their free speech rights was outrageous & unlawful. He scoffed. Now, a judge has said he & others engaged in an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to take away those rights. We must defend our freedoms at every turn.

It’s another good day to protect our neighbors. #photography

Oh the irony of using energy sucking AI to make memes mocking Trump for going to war over oil reserves. We really are a fucking idiot species.

Knitters are uniting and fighting fascism!!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Here’s to 2026

Proof, once again, that no one can question my dedication as a journalist: I endured four episodes of a Doctor Who spin-off in order to check out its disability representation for @radiotimes.bsky.social. It was okay – the representation, not the show; the show fucking sucks.

makes sense that a politician who has been flirting with anti-LGBTQ+ positions all year would embrace Regan (who infamously ignored the AIDS crisis during the 1980s)

"Miles said her son and uncle were both detained by ICE agents who initially did not accept their tribal IDs before they were eventually let go."

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.

🥊 Why We Need to Shut This Down Between the FDA, RFK Jr., & RFK Jr.’s brain worm coming after abortion pill access, the last thing we need is AI handing people over to pseudo-medical grifters. When AI starts amplifying anti-abobo misinformation instead of evidence-based care, everyone's at risk.

It’s cool that Zohran was able to find common ground with Trump on material issues of affordability while the rest of the Democratic Party has only found common ground with him on hating and harming trans people.

Without downloading any new pics, what’s it like dating you?

Come out to Rhizome on Monday, 12/1 for a mixture of experimental dance and audio. I’ll be using my Room Tone set up to process (and amplify and re-process) the sound of the performance space.

NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won. Read @garnethenderson.com in @autonomynews.co

Fresh from their six-week paid vacation, Speaker Johnson finally swore in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. A majority of the House has signed the discharge petition for full release of the Epstein File. Let’s vote.

Yet another way Trump is screwing working families: this was a FREE tool we set up so folks could file taxes directly, without paying an expensive service. So who does cancelling it benefit? The answer is not working Americans, but it sure is big corporations who profit off them.

The Trump Adm is also exploring steps to prevent people with unused SNAP benefits from using those funds after Nov 1. The money in EBT accounts has already been appropriated and expended, so blocking their use does not save a dime. It just hurts Americans. For Trump, hurting people is the goal.

DC wants the National Guard out of our communities. We’re outside the U.S. District court today as @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social’s lawsuit against the Trump administration has its first hearing.

This is where capitalism has really let us down

We're gonna end up with truck nuts on the white house before this is over aren't we

Balancing on the Edge of Night The New Moon in Libra, exact at 5:25 a.m. PDT on October 21st, occurs toward the end of the sign, at 28 degrees. Libra is all about relationships and balance. Opposite the Moon and Sun is Eris and Chiron. (1/5)

Maria Greeley is a U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE and told her passport “isn’t real” and that she “doesn’t look like” her last name. What do they think an American should look like? This racial profiling happens every day under Trump’s lawless regime. It’s un-American.

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

The DC #nokings rally was a thing of joy and community. And I got to stand next to a raccoon

Trump posted an AI video of himself dropping raw sewage on the No Kings protesters from a plane. Yes, you read that right. @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Time magazine is owned by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who just came out as a Trump supporter and said it would be great if he sent the National Guard to invade San Francisco

A leaked memo shows Trump is trying to deny furloughed federal employees the backpay they are legally entitled to after the government shutdown ends. This won’t be allowed to stand. And it’s because of a law he signed!

*sigh* www.govexec.com/pay-benefits... "Axios reported that senior administration officials were developing guidance that furloughed federal workers are not entitled to back pay. White House officials said it would take a novel interpretation of the back pay law and argue it applied only to 2019."

AI’s original story

i’ll kill clippy in front of his whole family

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

You’re losing when you’re lying — and Trump and Republicans are lying when they say our plan to reopen the government would give benefits to undocumented immigrants. The truth: our plan reopens the government and defuses a health care timebomb REPUBLICANS set on the American people⬇️

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

Do it. Search your name. Take their money. It’s yours anyway.

“The Trump administration is waging a war on disabled people and working to undo the hard-won rights our elders secured." House Dems blast Labor Department for abandoning disabled workers.

When Hannah Arendt talked about "the banality of evil" do you think she meant the half-dozen armed National Guard troops at the McPherson Square Starbucks waiting in line for their pecan crunch oat milk lattes

DC will always rise.
