Doja Cat fucking ripped on SNL. Holy hell, I am into this era for her.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

This guy not wearing a mask makes him the bravest ICE agent and yet is still, like all of them, a pathetic bullying coward. Look at him grab Fuentes, who’s literally just standing there. Look at the hatred in his dumb face.

that doesn’t seem like a lot

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

NEW @npr.org: The so-called Department of Government Efficiency effort has failed to deliver on its outsized promises to cut costs and increase efficiency, NPR's latest analysis of federal data finds.

I basically don't buy meat unless it's on clearance now. A pound of 80/20 is $7. And it's just not a story. Every disaster becomes a natural one when the chuds are in charge.

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

Support for law enforcement and border control are not “foundational American principles.”

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

@prozdishere.bsky.social Hope y’all enjoy some good bordertown tacos while at Anime Fiesta next month.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the GOP, who vilify them and threaten to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook.

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

all the gamers who supported this administration are going to be so grateful when they leave video-games alone. sure, they had to increase the price of the systems and the games, because they're imported. but the content? it's gonna be fine. books, too. authors? fine. music? all gonna be good.

fascism is here and you can no longer find your favorite shows and movies on Poob. it’s not on Poob anymore.

Just over one year ago.

holy shit

good lord @lisatozzi.bsky.social and @sepinwall.bsky.social are icons, this is beyond stupid (via @status.news)

Awful news.

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

deserved

Twisted Metal friggin Rocks

Fucking hell.

You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate. It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

I have started my journey with @mangasplaining.bsky.social. I am, of course, starting with the “Daredevil: Born Again” episode. I can’t help it. This is a hugely important book for me.

Bad Bunny, one of the biggest musical artists in the world, said he avoided the US in his tour because he thought ICE would set up ouside his shows.

No one is safe from gun violence in America. We do not have to keep living like this. Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

Latinos make up 20 percent of the US population. The Supreme Court has just declared that masked MAGA secret police can snatch any of us up and demand we prove our legal status. Republicans want to carry out ethnic cleansing of as many of us as they can. Pero ni a tiros nos van a sacar.

Pope Leo has announced the canonization of the first “millennial saint”: the balloon boy, who made it all the way to heaven in that damn thing

Quislings. This type of deliberate, pollyanna-ish misinterpretation--let's re-cast this bonkers, openly fascistic power flex as a progressive critique of DoD overreach!--is worse than just getting on your knees and kissing the ring. At least there's some intellectual honesty in the latter.

…?????

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

Alien Earth is good

Horrible.

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.

There are some incredibly vital issues at this moment in time that go beyond like, oh we disagree on marginal tax rates but we can still be friendly. Trans rights are one of those issues. Trans rights are human rights and those are not negotiable. (see also: genocide; fascism. not unrelated!)

we could have this

“Actually we should empathise with Frankenstein, he’s really the victim here…” No. Look at him. He’s green and he’s got bolts in his neck. He should be killed with flaming torches

He just murdered some people.
