We will win against this. I believe that wholeheartedly.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Police killed at least 1,292 people in the United States in 2025. There were only six days with zero police killings last year. Source: mappingpoliceviolence.org.

I say this with deep regret as someone with a US passport who loves to travel, but countries need to start imposing travel bans on US citizens entering their borders. Like lots of countries. Especially ones we vacation and do business in.

I’m not linking but I just read a columnist (one of my favorites) say Trump “has no ideology beyond his own power.” Ten years in, this trope should die. Trump's ideology is white supremacist and that goes a long way in explaining his imperialism and protectionism.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

MINNEAPOLIS, United States -- Paramilitary forces under the command of President Trump expanded their campaign of terrorism to a new major American city, attacking a school and killing an unarmed civilian attempting to flee the violence.

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Communities are full of heroes.

“It would be fine to annex sovereign territory of NATO allies if food prices were lower” is not the banger messaging Democratic lawmakers and their consultants seem to think. And their refusal to avail themselves of the legal means available to interfere with Trump’s expansionism is indefensible.

No we don’t need to wait until there’s some magical democratic majority to begin the work of ridding ourselves of this goddamned fascist. Now. Now. Now.

This is why I’m pushing for a state escrow account that holds federal funds before sending them on to Washington. If Trump wants to steal our tax dollars that were legally appropriated by Congress, then we should just be paying ourselves.

Every single foreign leader choosing appeasement right now is a f*cking idiot. (eg Starmer)

In addition to being evil, this is so genuinely incapable of understanding that other people exist and have wants and feelings and desires for things like self-determination.

#LRP I agree but also am focused on the critical importance of an immediate, unequivocal, and overwhelming rebuke/uprising/movement against from every person who can get out there in the US, every politician here and abroad, and some kind of financial consequence for Trump personally.

Trump’s imperialistic fantasy of the rapid takeover of multiple countries (some of them allies) is the foreign policy analogue of the DOGE shock and awe effort at the beginning of his second term, and, if he attempts this, will also end in failure, but with much infinitely more collateral damage.

This made my morning.

Since there has been a lot of "what are Americans even doing" talk on the timeline today, my gentle reminder that none of you better be posting the exact details of what you are doing on bluesky dot com, it is more important to safely do the work than prove to strangers that you are doing something!

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

I’ve protested nearly every large scale military action this country has taken since high school, and I’m as scared as I’ve ever been about the future. We must, and I will continue to resist. However, in a small break from the horrors, I finally achieved ice. Rough but skatable. Kiddo in action.

This admission alone would be sufficient for a war crimes conviction. He’s just openly bragging about launching a war of aggression and plunder. bsky.app/profile/atru...

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

In the past week, the Trump-Vance admin: –Bombed Nigeria –Bombed Venezuela, abducted its leader –Bombed more ships in the middle of the ocean –Threatened military action in Iran, Colombia, and Cuba –Accepted the “Israel Prize” & hosted Netanyahu in Mar-a-Lago (despite his soldiers killing Americans)

I just love real America so much

AI companies are playing a game wherein these computer programs are presented to the public as autonomous individuals capable of issuing a meaningful apology. The machine is just a machine. Human beings owe the apology for building the machine irresponsibly and unleashing it on the world.

The 8 billionaires are: Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, Huang, Ballmer. Each one saw their wealth explode as a direct result of the massive and unsustainable AI bubble. Let's resolve to remember that when their bubble bursts all over working people in 2026. Happy New Year!

When I was 3, my parents + others started a daycare coop in the basement of a church near Washington Sq Park in NYC. She’s still in touch w/one of the teachers they hired. He’s now 88 yrs old. I just got home from kiddo’s hockey game and found her on the phone with him talking #HeatedRivalry

I feel like I’m doing a science project in my backyard with this ice rink and I’m in danger of failing two years in a row. I didn’t adequately compensate for the ice expanding and it’s pushing the boards over in the corner where the ground is lowest and there’s the most water.

She’s a white supremacist qanon conspiracy theorist who wants transgender people to be dehumanized. Outlets like the Bulwark are basically trying to turn the Democratic Party and liberalism into conservatism because they couldn’t police their own movement from Trumpism.

This story is so Massachusetts. How do you even launder stolen lobster?

Last year, I framed up a backyard rink, put in the lining, filled it (or tried to) w/water, and discovered there's a larger incline in my backyard than I realized and I needed higher boards at various points, but it was too late. The water froze, the lining was too short to add height. Major fail.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations. The reporter called it a "political decision." Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN. Is that just a coincidence? This looks like corruption.

It’s ridiculous and maybe a little embarrassing, and also probably just bad how significantly my moods are impacted by the ups and downs of the SJ Sharks rn. Anyway, they lost last night. You’d think the fact that I’m (sort of?)recovering from my 1st ever Covid infection wd be the issue but…

Rivkah here doing what basically no other cis journalist did, and actually wrote about Beth Upton's POV, and when you lay it all out like that you can't help but admire Upton's astonishing level of calm and polite restraint in the face of quite vile harassment and abuse in both private and public.

Jane Fonda was a poster before posting existed. What a queen.

Really appreciated this take on epi 4 of #HeatedRivalry (spoilers): www.reddit.com/r/heatedriva...

There is so much gay romance TV out there, she yells into the wind. It's just not in English, she screams.

4 has always been my lucky number (I won a little stuffed bunny in a raffle with the #4 when I was 4), but still NOT a fan of 4 degrees F as a wake up temp.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.
