We see a lot of folks trying to rationalize or explain away what ICE is doing, and we want to let you know that you should absolutely not do that. This is an inflection point in history, and how you respond determines how you will be judged forever. Do the right thing and stand up to these monsters.

Death should never be the default consequence for non-compliance.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

I really don't know how to deal with things right now. Trying to do stupid, inconsequential marketing bullshit. My gut feels like a tinderbox and my jaw won't unclench. It's raw anger in my gut and helpless in my soul. How do we keep doing the things we need to do to stay alive?

There was only one way mass hirings of a white supremacist goon squad and arming them after six minutes of training was going to go. The question is now what, but unprecedented times and all that. The country is a tinderbox.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

The folks that Venezuelan tv is interviewing don't seem too enthused about the USA running their country. I'd rather hear from these people than the mealy mouthed pundits on US tv.

none of this is legal. none of this is normal. feel free to tell anyone who says otherwise to fuck off.

That NY jury could do the funniest thing.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris. In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

I want the Mussolini ending at this point. These fascists deserve nothing less.

To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

Woof, the stadium music playing on the ESPN SkyCast feed was rough. Give me my ambient noise and no commercials back, dammit.

Watching Gimli trial way behind on those long running on mountains scenes. It me. I feel for the short legged MFer.

Football karma

I watched all 3 Hobbit movies a couple days ago. I've never (sadly) read the books & thought I wouldn't like it. I was so wrong. They were great! After hearing The House of R share their passion for Tolkien, I've come to really love escaping to that world. Tonight the main series starts (again).

As I've been playing/watching Crusader Kings nonstop for the past week, this would be a fun king to create.

I needed some love and positivity today. I haven't smiled this much in a while.

NFL Films made this for all of us. A Carol of the DOINKS.

If you're watching Fallout season 2 (and I hope you are), please go watch the Fallout Fake Talkshow on the extras tab. It's weird and chaotic and I love it.

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

We didn't execute enough Nazis after WWII. The fascist trash running this country has reason to believe they can get away with anything. I'm not sure who's going to prove them wrong. Go find and watch the CECOT 60 Minutes segment the government doesn't want you to see.

Day 3 out of 10 of the holiday break and I'm already restless. 🙃 Maybe I can harness that (and some ADHD) to get some major chores done tomorrow. Or I'll do another full run in Crusader Kings III. Who even knows?

Around 30 years ago (when this church was smaller & in Dallas), I went to this show. It was a novel thing in town because it was a Xmas show with live animals. Not great for the animals, but otherwise harmless. It's emblematic of the fall of this country because of this version of Christianity.

#UglyDogs I *think* this is the reporter who sat and had a meal with some of us in Anchorage. This article made me cry a few different times. @quincemountain.bsky.social , thank you. www.milwaukeemag.com/quince-mount...

I love getting older and my guts occasionally falling out. Con: It's gross Pro: It was a good reason to leave work early on my last day before the holiday break.

Last weekend, I redid my living area. I'm fully in my old lady era. A lazy boy directly in front of the (too loud) tv. Most importantly, I gave the couch over to the dogs. Oh, and the bitch tree is in holiday mode.

I lost all my social media accounts in a boating accident at sea.

I'm glad we can all come together today and hate on Bam since y'all are done hating tOSU.

I don't think I've ever seen Matthew Macfadyen in anything before (regrettably), but damn, he's electric in Death by Lightning.

I'm happy for Lando's mom.

FFS. Welp. Guess it's bed time.

Surrender cobra 9 seconds into the game has to be a record.

Dork ass football coaches

The American Revolution documentary is amazing, unflinching, and clear eyed. The storytelling looks forward and back through our time as a country. But however much time it has left, it was a definitive and unprecedented beginning to the USA.

Listening to Joel Klatt list things a couple plays ago makes me want a football version of Waters of March. My brain is a cursed wasteland of free association.

WTF is this play calling?

So happy that we get Big Game Gus for The Game. Love him so much. Go Bucks!

Is there a big time college football coach who isn't a scumbag?

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments. 🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

We are at the "What do I want to eat next" part of the holiday break. Four games on the TV, dog snoring at my side, and the snack potential is limitless. Truly my favorite time of year.

Stranger Things isn't perfect story wise, but damned if the characters aren't charming AF. I missed these kids (and adults).

My new coffee/espresso habit has me buying progressively smaller and smaller cups. They're so cute when they're 2oz!

Earlier this year, I attended a shooting competition for queer, often trans, very online misfits. Then Charlie Kirk was killed. www.wired.com/story/the-ha...

Nothing like being awake way too early on a Saturday, pissed off about work things. Makes me question every wanting to be "leadership" if it's filled with the type of people who treat people as subordinates instead of peers. I know their kind.
