This is fucking horrifying.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

Health break: desk declutterring edition. Did I need all the papers that had piled up? No. Should I have put those mugs in the dishwasher already? Yes. Does it make me happier to have Windex’d the glass? Absofuckinglutely. Is the writing going to go more smoothly tonight? Past history says, yes.

We're here! I was told there would be marching troops and rolling tanks

Hah. Yes please.

He lied. Gotta use the word

Some days the writing could go faster if I was actually carving each word in stone. *sigh*

Respect to Hartsfield-Jackson, who told fascist bigotry to FO. www.fox5atlanta.com/news/atlanta...

A dose of facts for you ... www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

With federal law-enforcement now (officially) no longer respecting freedom of speech, I wonder how long it will be before the FBI is back to actively harassing liberal churches (and mosques and synagogues)…?

Whoop. Neighbor’s small dog was in the process of working his way through the window screen when Foster dog and I walked by. That could’ve been a real problem. (they’re on the first floor). Screen has been secured, humans horrified, dog unrepentant.

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Trump just signed an illegal executive order designed to target his political opposition by designating them terrorists and using the DOJ, IRS, FBI, and the JTTF to investigate and charge liberal organizations, funders, members, and protesters. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

My great-aunt wad one of the first 5 nurses ashore at Normandy. According to Trump, she was a terrorist because she was supporting the fight against fascism.

Neighborhood chalk.

Researchers who refused to study it because it’s too “messy and hard to collect” and every dude who’s ever refused to pick up sanitary products for his wife/girlfriend/daughter because it’s Unmanly should be bumped to the bottom of the list of recipients. Just saying.

“Your (Sinclair’s) decision not to reinstate comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show appears contrary to the inherently local aspects of your station licenses…” -Senator Maria Cantwell (WA) I’m not saying that was a politely worded warning, but that was 100% a politely worded warning.

BIG NEW YORKERS AGAINST ICE rally at 6 pm, Thursday, 9/25 at Foley Square in NYC, friends! Please do come through! If you've never been to a rally, why not start here? It's 2025 and it's time. We all gotta stand up for all of us.

I’d be pissed somebody sold this guy‘s people my phone number, but actually, I’m just delighted they’re wasting their cash.

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

If you think Tylenol is bad for children, wait until you hear about the Epstein files.

So… Not a week after they had mass cancellations and boycott… Disney/Hulu is… Raising their subscription prices. I’m sure this will be fine. (I wonder how many other people who have already canceled. Got this email, too?)

Eight days ago my cat was near-death. Today - after 3 days in the ER — we are back at the vet, talking about long-term medication and care. He’s not out of the woods yet (and surgery is probable, once he’s stabilized) but we can see a path. I’m going to home home and cry in (cautious) relief.

For the record, the local police had to arrive to free the girl from … the federal police. This is horrific. It’s undeniable that we will need trials for ICE officials and officers after all this. “Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.”

Autism isn't a problem & this president doesn't want to solve anything. He wants to control, he wants to destroy, he wants to demand, he wants to punish, he wants to rage, he wants to lie, he wants to hide, he wants to own, but he has never wanted to solve anything. And autism isn't a problem.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Have you written a personal letter of “wtf no” to your local org or company that advertises with Sinclair? It’s amazingly cathartic to (politely) tell them to GTFO or lose your business.

Even down to how they exploit the changes in diagnostic criteria to suggest there's some "contagion" or "epidemic." What those changes actually point to is a move away from a model of suppression to a model of acceptance, and that's what actually terrifies them

I know it’s autumn when I go from “it’s too hot get rid of the covers“ to “I’m so comfortable I don’t wanna get out from under the covers.“

This particular battle, such as it is, is joined. Doesn’t matter if you watch Kimmel or anything. The free-speech stakes are higher than one man and one program. These corporations have a stranglehold on public discourse. Time to disrupt that.

Trump signed an executive order today designating antifa, a decentralized set of extreme left-wing groups, as a “domestic terrorist organization.” So… the POTUS has declared any American who is against _fascism_, a “terrorist.” He said the quiet part out loud, folks. He put it IN Writing.

JUST IN: Wall Street Journal seeks dismissal of Trump libel suit over article disclosing his alleged birthday note to Epstein. WSJ: 'There is nothing defamatory about a man sending a bawdy letter to his friend' & is consistent w/Trump's reputation. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is great. Now quit purging queer content from Pixar.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

Somebody blinked. Possibly after looking at their stock fluctuations last week. —— Jimmy Kimmel's show returning on Tuesday, ABC announces www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

Wow. Some people get really upset when you call their rapture “The Culling.”

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

A friendly reminder, Donald J. Trump is in the Epstein files!

Castiel is starting to get feisty about being pilled. TBF, he’s on prednisone and gabapentin and antibiotics and miritaz and lactolose, so I’d be getting feisty too after a few days of this… (But he’s not giving up yet, so neither will we)

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

This is a level seven times past tacky. So, right on brand for Trump.

I have ended my week of stress-eating badly with a glazed old-fashioned from Dough Joy. Yeah, I’m good for sugar for a while. 😑

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

On my way back from the farmers market this morning, I saw two older white gentleman, one of them carrying an American flag, the other carrying an Israeli flag. It took all my self-control not to swerve the car to block their path, get out, and interrogate them on their faith (and their morals).

Several times this year more than 100,000 people have been out in the streets in particular cities to protest this regime and the NYT & MSM barely covered those protests. I wonder why [I don't actually so no need to respond].

As someone who has been tear-gassed, briefly, you cannot underestimate the sheer determination that must be driving him. He’s a role model, and the photographer should be in contention for a Pulitzer.
