relatedly, if anyone knows of a country that IS taking disabled people with “useless” college degrees, welp. help a bitch out

Let me know which countries are accepting disabled transgender shepherds with no college degree and no money as immigrants. Pro tip: the answer is none. No, not that one with lots of sheep. Not that one either. Nope, not that one. There is nowhere for me to go while the govt gets worse and worse.

Things thought by me today, "If we're gonna totter off to civil war I'd at least like to be near my friends". This is an unfortunate thing to have to think

I'm just saying disassociating is my default state and that's getting *real* stretched

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.” That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.

every single one of these tabs is a piece that i want to quote. so i guess i identified with @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social’s divorce book just a lil bit, huh. altho i don’t know if i will ever be able to think that positively in the aftermath, it’s nice to know someone can.

Something I always wondered is how it would be covered if America became a dictatorship This is it

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

This is my blood

TAMU should be too ashamed to call itself an educational institution. fucking hell. pick any philosophy teacher up from the 1950s, and THEY would explain how fucking ridiculous trying to ban PLATO from fucking philosophy class.

It's been 25 years since I thought this way and I can still call up the feeling-memory on demand; it's *that* strong. It's fucking deadly and disgusting. And here we are.

If you've never been conservative, it's maybe hard to imagine but the combination of pretending you're a downtrodden freedom fighter while knowing full well you can do whatever the fuck you want with absolute impunity is really intoxicating. Honestly one of the best feelings in the world.

I’m not posting this for people to there there me. I’m posting it because I want to add to the chorus of people going “of COURSE you’re fucked up and not ‘productive’ and doomscrolling.” That’s the natural response to “fascists are roaming around looking for blood.”

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12 ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12 ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14 Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

I can’t speak for the entire Jewish community, but personally I have been watching many of y’all under-react to ICE actions for the last year and suddenly understanding in a whole new way how my family ended up being rounded up and massacred in camps and y’all should think on that.

got a phone call from my father tonight, first asking how we were doing here in portland, and second, ranting about how he saw people killed at kent state, and third he and his extremely religious wife talking about renee good as a martyr, these people are late 70s oklahomans

"Watching these cases, I began to understand that homelessness in the United States was at least as much about isolation as it was about material deprivation."

After a week of watching ICE & the administration talk about communities and people as threats and treated as combatants, what an amazing palate cleanser: regarding other people and cultures as possibility, as camaraderie waiting to unfold. (Also, this looks friggin delicious.)

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

how about after the Portland shooting

oh. great.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

If you ever asked yourself what kind of people served as guards in nazi concentration camps, here you see the mindset: lack of empathy, no regard for human dignity and high on having authority with the option for violence. They’re not psychopaths. They’re everywhere and cruel systems promote them.

Imagine how a bunch of officers would react if a memorial to one of them was treated that way. They’d probably kill more people.

DHS agents are stomping on Renee Good's memorial.

The Minneapolis pastor had observed "ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic" and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” trib.al/k06XIZQ

Thinking about this quote from anarchist Emma Goldman today.

Everything is threatening to a paranoid bigot. A twelve-year-old child. The mother of a kindergartener. A school nutritionist. Your car is a weapon. Your wallet is a weapon. Your body is a weapon. Even when your back is turned. Even if you run.

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

“But perhaps we do not want to be assimilated and accepted. Perhaps we do not want our existence to be conditional on playing nice. Perhaps we want to bare our teeth.”

The Advocate has the story - "they killed my wife," Good's spouse says. "We have a six year old in school," Good's spouse says. Let us avoid building a head of steam behind a narrative to allow a grandparent to come and seize the child of a queer couple.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

We are all living through an undeclared civil war. That’s what’s happening. And frankly, if you listen closely: they have declared it. It’s just that the billionaire-controlled media refuses to recognize and report it as such

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Remarkable statement from an elected official.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the sort of times when you should ask your doctor if Celexa is right for you. Common side effects of the times included agitation, blurred vision, confusion, and decreased interest in sexual intercourse.

As a woman, I'd say my feelings towards men having a [currently consequence-free] "make porn of any woman" engine could best be described as "kill 'em all and let God sort them out"

I've been told it's too extreme to say that we live in a rape culture. After all, society doesn't openly condone sexual violence. In light of Grok and Sora being used to create non consensual sexual imagery, even of children, are we ready to reconsider? Maybe rape culture is real?

This is really, really great. wantmymtv.vercel.app

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money." I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

welp. having seen today’s fresh new hell, i’m off to write pen & paper letters

And here I thought I was going to die because I didn't have health insurance. Little did I know WW III was popping off.

welp.

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus
