Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Good person and talented artist LJ Stephens is making lovely resin ornaments and shipping this year. If you need bold colors or want something pretty but not super-expensive, take a look. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ljs...

I was really pleased with how the main photo from the Fenway Health protest on Saturday came out. Ideally, I'd just be a writer and not do images or videos, but in this day and age you kinda have to be willing to do a little of everything. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I can't tell you how many horrible things have been going on here since we elected a Trump friendly government in Apr via low voter turnout, as happened in the US. But today, after having us under a State of Emergency for months, they've called out all armed forces. 1/3

Perfect fall day in the PNW. I miss this so much.

The East Wing Desecrators Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this. In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info. 🧵

I really think if your last name is Orbach, your first name should be Beethoven

Go Dodgers.

omg, MLB just showed an anti-tariff ad featuring a long VO from Ronald Reagan. The ad was put up by the Province of Ontario. *BLAM*

Personally, I enjoyed writing my course syllabi as raw HTML which I could SCP down the hall to a Linux box named after a Tolkien sword and running an infrequently-patched Apache server. In that context, my neckbeard contrarian educator opinion is: "Canvas is pretty good by comparison" 🎢

Very few examples of "This could have been a headline from The Onion!" actually feel like they could have been from the Onion, but I do think this one qualifies.

Clearly the only solution is to start stealing second anytime someone gets on first, to remove the likeliest double play?

okay, so, Mariner baseball makes an unwelcome appearance

We did our best on our island out here in the Puget Sound. Coupeville, Washington — population of about 2,000, drew at least that many (maybe 3,000) from the island as a whole.

guess he ran into that, didn’t he, Smoltzy

(yes, we are getting roflstomped for the second game in a row; yes, smoltz still sucks)

Isiah Kiner-Falefa "squeezed out number two," Smoltz? Really?

ffs, Smoltz, the lyrics are "my neck, my back."

god I hope the FS1 broadcast is just the stadium audio all game

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

"A normal-versus-normal matchup is what politics used to be: negotiation, compromise. Behaving this way will lose against someone in body armor while calling you an antifa domestic terrorist MS-13 gang member. And the guy in the body armor will always lose to the guy in the inflatable frog suit."

This book is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

We all saw this, right? My phone and I didn't hallucinate that shirt?

I don't know if there are quite enough white guys on the FOX postseason broadcast teams. Can we get some more white guys?

I’ve been meaning to do a Mariners fit thread forever, and Josh Naylor finally forced my hand. Strolling into Rogers Center in a bubble gum pink, Chanel-inspired textured blazer? And ROCKING it? Swagger levels off the charts.

There's a lot to worry about in these remarks, but I'll leave it to the Guardian: "Do Thiel’s arguments make sense? In a word, no." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Cannot over emphasize how insane last night was and how incredible of a recap Kate wrote for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social an absolute masterpiece that y’all need to read right now #SeizeTheMoment #Mariners www.lookoutlanding.com/game-recap/1...

What I need people to understand is how hard the fans, the team, and the staff went today. The Salmon Run is our president's head run/sausage run/etc. There's a derpy one, Humpy, who never wins, a là Teddy for the Nats. In the 14th inning stretch, they did ANOTHER Salmon Run, and Humpy won. LEGENDS.

I will be speaking at the Long Beach event on the 18th (at Bixby Park) and I highly encourage everyone who can attend a No Kings protest to go. These fascists can call us terrorists, but we can show them we’re actually the beating heart and soul of American democracy.

JFC, why don't baseball stadia have roofs?!?!?!?! Your teams are worth eleventy-billion dollars, you cheap bastards.

Trump and Vance want badly to stop you from using the f-word That's because if we accurately call out rising fascism from the streets of Chicago to the waters of the Caribbean, we will understand that we must fight back with the moral strength of war My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

CHOTINER: So last week you said the word “strawberry” has six R’s. CHATGPT: Yeah and I want to thank you for the chance to address that because it’s a trick question— CHOTINER:—actually, no— CHATGPT: —since the word “strawberry” is spelled with a 9. CHOTINER: The number 9? CHATGPT: Absolutely.
