you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Soon, all the films in close proximity to it will also be THE THING. Within the year, all films in the registry will be THE THING.

I understand that all of us have to live our lives and therefore simply cannot think deeply about the fact that the current fascist President of the United States is deeply unwell. I do think, however, that it is the JOB of CONGRESS and the CABINET to protect the country FROM HIM. NOW.

and if you want to donate, i found this directory that seems helpful: standwithminnesota.com

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Hey, friends! If you're in LA on 1/31, and feel as hopeless/helpless as I do, me and a buncha nerds are doing a charity live-read of two Twilight Zone episodes to raise money for immigrant and refugee relief: www.squadup.com/events/love-...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

No member of Congress should allow the Trump administration and this lawless paramilitary squad to continue stomping on our rights and terrorizing our communities. They have endangered everyone in America. Call your Senators to DEFUND ICE. Info, numbers, and scripts @ 5calls.org

here's a great way to show up for Minneapolis families sheltering in place! it can be hard to sort through a zillion donation links but this fundraiser is confirmed “verified, urgent, and there’s a secure distribution plan in place” and is also, bonus, tax-deductible gofund.me/3a8673ee3

Chicago Public Library is doing some amazing work.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.

Paul Bunyan sez FUCK ICE.

“We must make it costly everywhere, all at once.”

An important point here: admin leave is a necessary and expected minimum response after someone has been fatally shot, even in cases in which there is no real question that it was justified. You just took a life. bsky.app/profile/toob...

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

I'm not doing a lot of posting here, but I can tell you, Maine is absolutely under seige. When ICE comes in, they come bringing terror.

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

Maine Solidarity Fund, whether you’re in a position to donate or request support 😘 We get through this together www.mainesolidarity.org

Today’s sign 😘 ABOLISH ICE

with Abolish ICE, you can actually have a plan

“If you’re wondering why police aren’t doing anything to protect people from ICE, it’s because the Supreme Court said so. Twice.” - Take it from Maine’s brilliant, beloved Samuel James.

Reposting this today bc I didn’t get a chance to call yesterday but left VMs this am!

5calls.org/issue/dhs-bu... Even if you feel betrayed by the complicity of your elected reps, it’s valuable to get your position — and your OPPOSITION to funding ICE — on their desks and in their records. Make them face their constituents’ opposition and anger on every documentable front. 😘

Resistance Rundown January 19th-25th

Calling for more ICE agent training is calling for more ICE funding, for a more efficient ethnic cleansing machine. They don’t need more training, they need to be destroyed. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH ICE.

The level of consistent, everyday organizing and resistance to the state, outside of and beyond any particular movement or flash point, distributed across the entirety of the social landscape, is by far the highest it's ever been in my lifetime

This is good and he does clarify later but this should not be happening even to undocumented migrants.

they’ll blame you for being in their way even when they’re the ones who invaded the neighborhood where your baby was sleeping inside your home

people who sympathize with, support, and defend Nazis at my senator’s office sure are confused by being called Nazis.

something big is happening

Idk if most ppl outside of the Twin Cities or national pan-Asian organizing know this, but this part of the country is home to the largest Hmong communities in the US as well as some of the biggest SE Asian (Hmong, Viet, Khmer/Cambodian, Laotian) btwn Chicago and the west coast

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

If you cannot make “these people are leaving BABIES in CARS in WINTER and then returning them to their carekeepers with BRUISES” into popular sentiment as a politician, you’re either inept or you want this to keep happening.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

Shouldn't it be a bigger story that the immigration cops are seizing and imprisoning people who CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IMMIGRANTS

you could see the panic; it was like when a new worker shows up at a job and starts actually doing it, exposing everyone who had just been sitting around

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

The cat heard me hectoring my electeds this morning and bounded upstairs to cuddle in while I made my phone calls, purring loudly the whole time. 🐈‍⬛

Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important. Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Accidentally set my google maps to only show ways to get around by public transit that are wheelchair accessible and whoops now I’m enraged.

folks please call your congresspeople about this ASAP, this is draconian and evil

RELATED: do you (jewish) have a pet that wants to be jewish pet of the month in my newsletter? do you have a cute picture of the pet with a menorah? I am about to start asking people who have posted relevant pics if i can feature their animal, but i prefer getting pet pics given to me

Our winter fund drive is on. Consider a tax-deductible donation to support TNN (and get a gift). Our reporting is in-depth, hard-hitting and unrepentantly radical. Your donations go to keeping trans journalists out of poverty and informing our communities, which is now more important than ever.

These things literally drop loot lol they're are BEGGING to be destroyed Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
