Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

why do nerds suddenly appear every time I post here

Al Green didn’t last long.

"Ultimately, the encounter was brief: The woman, who the pastors said appeared to be pregnant, had citizenship papers with her." What a sentence.

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

If Trump flipping off a Detroit factory worker didn’t spark your outrage, don’t pretend to be scandalized by a Jan. 6 officer snapping at a member of Congress. Outrage without consistency is just performance.

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.

It is time. Please join in solidarity. Help make this work. Join us in this general strike- January 23rd And thank you for sharing this post.

BALINT: Do you believe that President Trump's DOJ will find some way to indict you? JACK SMITH: I believe they will do everything in their power to do that because they've been ordered to by the president

this is why what’s happening in Minneapolis is both the most and least encouraging part of the second Trump admin to me least because what they’re doing is completely insane and there are three more years of this most because the way the community has responded is truly extraordinary

Can't emphasize this enough. Moving beyond shame toward true solidarity with all people is how we get free. It's how we move toward a new and better world for those who come after us. Repair is needed, and that repair and restoration is part and parcel of the world we're building.

A federal judge reportedly refused to sign off on charging documents for journalist Don Lemon after he reported on an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church.

If you want something to ward off doomerism, look to Minnesota. Americans are capable of standing up to oppression. Organization, community care, and a stiff upper lip. Also I'm reminded I need to sign up for rapid response training.

Strenously agree with this

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Personally, I think members of the Democratic party voting to fund the literal American Gestapo, ICE, while claiming to oppose said secret police is “goofier” than trying to pressure them out of an action that will hurt their constituents & their electoral chances, but maybe that’s just me?

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

Today I talked with a 76 year old who'd been standing in the cold for hours guarding her neighbors. I was getting kind of chilly, even in the new winter gear i bought for this trip (and I live in the goddam mountains myself). She didn't even have a hat on.

🚨"Theyr're dumping people in the woods" - Medical workers are flagging potential cases of federal agents releasing injured detainees in the most inhumane method possible. LIVE NOW⬇️

These images are not okay, and we can ever let ourselves stop being angered and horrified by them.

Ok I need to spell this out more slowly, clearly: Greenland is Inuit land and nobody but Inuit should be getting to decide what happens to it

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.

“The Ents are going to war”

57 years ago Martin Luther King Jr. called for a multiracial struggle to spur a “radical revolution of values.” Today, it’s clear why: the fight for justice requires an army bigger than just those directly oppressed. It will take race traitors and class traitors. It will take all of us.

Isaiah Blackwell used his body as a shield in guiding Jake Lang away from counterprotesters before two Black women were his unexpected getaway drivers. Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”

I don’t know the details about the Bears game but I’m very glad everyone is very glad.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

More than any other show of its time, Star Trek dared - still dares - to imagine something that feels impossible: in the future, leftists and scientists will be able to afford rent in San Francisco

This administration are going ‘all in’ on ICE immigration enforcement, because they have nothing else. No healthcare, no cost of living relief, no education plan nothing.

FYI: “There won’t be elections” and “There might be elections but they’ll just deny the results so it won’t count” IS VOTER SUPPRESSION LANGUAGE. You say this, YOU are participating in discouraging people from voting. You are part of the problem.

"Color is too real. It’s limiting. It doesn’t allow too much of a dream. Black has depth. You can go into it. The mind kicks in, a lot of things become manifest. And you start seeing what you’re afraid of. You start seeing what you love, and it becomes like a dream." #DavidLynch

With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

i like how abolishing ICE is seen by dems as extreme. like, a world without murderous cops is such a fanciful concept.

We will have an election. There are too many lazy grifters that want a cushy Congress job. They will insist.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Roman numerals are one of the only random things that my primary school teachers told me 'would be useful in later life' that really are. I read loads of 17th and 18th century original stuff and need them for date of publication. Every time I read one, I thank Miss Priestley mentally.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society. But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

By day and night he wrongs me, every hour He flashes into one gross crime or other That sets us all at odds. I’ll not endure it. His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us On every trifle.

He had multiple opportunities to prevent this and deliberately pissed them away.

Hoomom's new rule for herself. Before she can pick up her phone & doomscroll she has to either take a walk round the block or do a chore. Like feeding cattos, laundry. Thinking about our service men & women tonight. Hope they can stay safe. Get some rest friends. Love & hugs from this family 💤💙💤

There is nothing better than waking up to your cat snuggled next to you in the bed. I’m slowly waking up while she’s sound asleep, the world is still quiet and dark. Holding on to these simple moments.

BREAKING: The state of California is launching an investigating into Elon Musk's AI company, xAI (maker of Grok chatbot) over the creation and spread of non-consensual sexual deepfakes on the X platform. A step that will most likely lead to a lawsuit.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.
