Folks can stay mad, we recognize and remember still ❤️🖤💚 "US mathematician Gladys Mae West was best known for her foundational work on GPS systems. As an African American woman, West overcame huge barriers to contribute to this key technology." 👇🏾

it's just so fucking obvious, can we please move forward from the lame defense of this sack of sour milk and mothballs

the kamala drop is going to be a data breach announcement

Anyway sorry I'm not like showing my wiener on here anymore lol, idk find me on instagram if you want me in pog form

What continues to astound me about Jeffries and Schumer isn't their weaselly behavior or their fundamental inability to whip votes or their moral and intellectual failings as tacticians--it's their ability to look at a child rapist and sycophants and say "I *want* to work with these people."

We shipped somewhere around 20,000 whistles *today* (850 of those were mine) and literally the only thing we need are some coils of plastic to turn into a fleet of whistles. Help out! linktr.ee/WhistleWishl...

Spead the good word!!! Absolutely phenomenal outcome in Texas, in a county Dems haven’t won since Bush 1 was president.

In December, Gov. Hochul vetoed the New York Health Information Privacy Act, leaving sensitive health data open to exploitation. That puts trans New Yorkers seeking gender-affirming care at risk as the federal government ramps up its attack on the transgender community.

It's because standard newspaper style is that it's only antisemitism if it comes from the left, and in particular from people who view Palestinians as human.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

California will enforce segregating a trans girl from playing sports with her friends but will not enforce reigning in the secret police a single millimeter. Got it.

Here's a good collection of groups that could use your funds today, especially if you're from out of town

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day

I am not above saying the Hudson Williams photoshoot really Works For Me mostly because he is the only straight guy around who can pose like a gay guy. Also I have eyes.

So good to see this price and all the folks and stories in it! Also, a self-plug: the Queer Digital History Project (queerdigital.com) is always open for donations, if folks have physical ephemera or digital records to be preserved (but not made accessible publicly online)!

Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me

What has always been humiliating about Stephen Miller is that this is a person extolling white supremacy who looks like, generously speaking, an anus was impregnated by the shit inside it. There is so much to fight, centuries of it, but it remains embarrassing that these are god's ugliest fascists.

Guys I am going to need some of you to remember that something can be good news and still not be anywhere near enough--I really need you to be able to let two things be true. Please don't make me worried you still get shocked by peekaboo.

I hope this is the best day Greg Bovino has the rest of his shitstain life ❤️.

This is happening! An NH friend of mine lives just across the river from Maine and works over there sometimes. He said the locals are already picking out ICE agents at restaurants and bars, on the streets and at stores to berate them and run them off. Mariners will just say people are "from away"

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

hon log off and actually do shit why is this hard for you

This is Alex Pretti. This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

All I see is federal agents getting violent with residents, over and over, while Democratic leaders repeatedly tell those residents to calm down and not do anything in response. This is not sustainable.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Most of all I'm really happy that we let a certain cadre of academics finger themselves in 2017 while asserting in god knows how many think pieces that none of this was fascism all along because well actually

How many more videotaped public assassinations have to occur before we get more than mayors and governors dropping f-bombs, as if they don't have any possible power and as if talking like an edgy high schooler is going to bring back anyone who, again, was clearly publicly assassinated on tape?

i have a lot of contempt for the pithy one-liner letterboxd community but i think the three and a half star review of mississippi burning with a thousand likes that's just "willem dafoe hot" really takes the cake

NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus. From me: prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

We've gone from defining doxing as posting someone's social security number / home address to now just posting a public officials name. How long until naming a federal agency becomes doxing, too

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

See you tomorrow!

Our next screening is in ONE WEEK (1/20). See you there!

I have a video essay in the new restoration of TAXI ZUM KLO, released by Altered Innocence. It was really fun to research and write this and I think you'll like it. There's also a great video essay by @schlockvalue.bsky.social (who produced the features!) Go order it. Now! Danke schön! Jetzt!

A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife. The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

It's nothing everyone doesn't already know, but ICE/CBP guys know they can do whatever they want. They're the absolute dregs of the Violence Worker Community, not trained for anything like what they're doing, out of their depth, all that. But it starts with them knowing they won't face consequences.

Order the police to arrest them, then. Order the police to drive them from the state or these are just words from a boy mayor trying to sound like a big man.
