I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

In fairness, he’s no more racist than the guy who was president before Biden.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

You cannot do "commonsense reform" for a secret police force that's declared itself exempt from constitutional requirements. You cannot reform ultraviolent agencies that have been corrupt for decades and now have accountability only to the president's goons and lackeys.

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

Never forget that the people who convinced you trans people are a threat to your children all belong to a network of child rapists.

Democrats Condemn ICE For Murdering Without Proper Warrants https://theonion.com/democrats-condemn-ice-for-murdering-without-proper-warrants/

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Just found out that Witchycakes: Sweet Magic and Witchycakes: Changing Magic were BOTH named as a Top Ten Title for Young Readers on the ALA 2026 Rainbow List! 🌙🧁🐚💙 Thank you, @americanlibraryassociation, for this incredibly special honor. 🌈📚❤️ #kidlit #booksky #parents #teachers #librarians

Sending thoughts and prayers to everyone employed or represented or by Brad Finstad this morning.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

BREAKING: Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino has been carried away by a small Minnesota owl, reportedly used to patch tiny hole in nest

This reminds of a quote I saw online, that the reason ADHD appeared to disappear in adulthood is that men outsourced their executive function issues to their secretaries and wives, and ouch (and ADHD women were either undiagnosed or burnt out by trying to compensate without support)

Minneapolis, Alex Pretti memorial, Mary Turner President of National Nurses United paid a very moving tribute to Alex Pretti who was savagely executed. Nurses save lives every single day, we need to be fully committed to supporting them in this difficult moment.

that tie knot is the same width as his head

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

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."

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Activists in Los Angeles are demanding justice for Keith Porter Jr., a 43-year-old father of two, who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

This sign, "The Gospel Is Anti-Fascist," is at the First Baptist Church in America, in Providence, R.I. Link to the church's FB post of the photo: www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

Maybe someone should be testing the outflow pipes from the hotels where ICE is staying and report on the levels of PCP, crystal meth, ketamine, etc. Because every single one of the videos I've seen shows guys with bugged eyes, clenched teeth and pop-veined necks. Drugs? Yes. For sure drugs.

Yet again Weekend Kara was a bit too optimistic for what Midweek Kara would have the energy to cook this week

If this was any other set of medical treatments, the entire medical community would be scrambling to study how they could improve their own treatments.

Men don’t call a woman a fucking bitch when they’re afraid for their lives—they say it when they hate us. They say it when they’re punishing us. jessica.substack.com/p/ice-shooti...

Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.

if trump thought he had a winning hand here he would be the first person in front of the press. they know it’s bad so they send their little pig man out to gobble up the slop

I think it’s important that we bump this news so it doesn’t get lost. Federal agents aren’t allowed on school property—and Border Patrol is out of its jurisdiction (the 100-mi “border zone,” which MSP is not in). Let the rest of the country see, and imagine this incursion at their kids’ school.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

The urge to dominate comes from a place of weakness, of deep psychological insecurity and frailty. The urge to cooperate, on the other hand, comes from a place of strength and psychological health. Trump is a weak, insecure and frail man. We all know this. We need to say it. Loudly. And a lot.

White supremacy is making up a story about fraud at a Somali run daycare then shutting off funding based on that lie, but ignoring the trillions in missing dollars at the Pentagon which relentlessly bombs Somalia and other Black and brown majority nations.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

I am wrapping gifts while my 12yo is watching Welcome to Derry. Perfect pairing for this year's holiday vibe. 🎄🤡
