For most people, power outages are an inconvenience. For those who count on electricity for home medical equipment, they can be a crisis. Here's how to plan ahead for health care needs in a blackout.

Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

Im glad that ffxiv 'blacked discord' got names leaked, it's racist and disgusting and just hurts man like wtf did we do to always be subjected to this. We're no different from everyone else. Like what the hell is this hello?

now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why

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.

the dumbest part of all of this is how predictable it was that conservatives would defend ICE executing random people for expressing the 1st and 2nd amendments rights would be

i'm playing pillars of eternity and you can pet the dog but not the cat??? FUCK YOU

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy

Hey it’s me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Abolish ICE and make them all stand trial! This shit is actually insane!

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident. ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.

People drove by. "Oh no! Is everyone okay?" "It's an ICE vehicle" Laughter erupts and people got out to take photos.

every so often there's a parent who decides their kid doesn't need insulin and when the kid dies we put the parents in jail

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Thank goodness everyone spent months deciding that the Chinese were stealing our data so we could switch to good old patriotic American data stealing

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

the incredulous "this is bullshit, are you fucking kidding" tone here is a sign that you have turned someone into a lifelong radical against you and people like you this is a stupid tactic used by stupid people who don't have any other ideas

You read things like this and you can only hope that when the time comes, if it comes, when it is your community's turn to be tested, that you acquit yourselves half as well.

Delete TikTok NOW. They launched terms this morning that allows them to collect and share data like geolocation, sexual orientation, political affiliation, mental and physical health diagnoses, ethnic and national origins, religious beliefs, etc. They ARE sharing this information with ICE.

They tried to sell my parents' art back to me. My parents' art. That my parents & I gave to Unbound entirely for free, to help them launch my book. Which Unbound then asked my readers for money for. Then ran off with that money. They tried to sell that back to me. You really couldn't make it up.

Welcome to freezing your tits off Friday

FWIW folks have said this works if you close the app, open a vpn (I use tunnel bear), connect it in the EU, and then open the app. bsky.app/profile/tamm...

Time to delete TikTok if you haven’t! They’re asking specifically for immigrant status and transgender or nonbinary status, which should make people nervous about where we are heading

Minneapolis shows us the only way out Today, we will see the closest thing to a general strike in the US since 1946. Much of Minnesota will simply say, "Hell, no," to the lawless, vicious, and absurdly unnecessary assault on their neighbors by the Trump regime's Department of Homeland Security.

Most of the time, observing ICE is boring. But occasionally, like this time, it is terrifying. slate.trib.al/SeZ1d0R

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

for @skywardstruck.bsky.social thank you for the comm~~

This kid is awesome, actual hero.

Oh look, all the same Dems that voted for criminal bans on gender affirming care and medicaid coverage bans voted for the ICE gestapo funding.

The national coverage of what's happening in Minneapolis feels so inadequate right now.

Hello! I once almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you feel queasy and suddenly exhausted don’t lay down for “just a minute” - run outside, breathe fresh air. The space between “I feel a little weird, I guess I slept bad/ate something weird” and death is like ten minutes.

I can now take the to new adventures. #FFXIV #TTRPG
