Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon all have headquarters in Seattle. This year the Seattle School District has an 80 million dollar shortfall.

Remember the good old days when there were thrillers about the US President being secretly crazy or unfit? All the deceit and coverups required to hide that from the world. *laughs in 2026*

I think it's kind of nasty and reductive to refer to mature women who marched today as "wine moms and grandmas," even when it's said in admiration or support

“I asked ChatGPT”- ok well I asked the mycelium and it said to plant more trees and to tell you to return to the forest

there it is, all 7 continents

Seeing a million people turn out and snake through a large city is very cool, I won’t deny that but my favorite genre of post during these protests is “small town in a red state with the biggest crowd anyone has ever seen”

Humanity at its best

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Now it can (again) be told: We had a tagline for DART: “66 million years ago, an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs. In 2022, Earth strikes back”. Everybody loved it except some (1-whimsical) NASA folks, so it was never officially adopted. It did sneak into some things, though…

"Spend some time now thinking about what song you're going to blast from your car as you drive around. This is important, because choice paralysis will be very real in the moment."

Loved this. If you need more visions of the old gods in new places, you need to read these books.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

My kid to me after we hand $10 to a homeless person: “We gave more money than Elon Musk and he has a million times more money.”

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

On May 13, 1985 in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a Black neighborhood. 11 people were killed, 5 of whom were children. As we see ICE terrorize communities, understand that saying “this isn’t who we are” is false.

Huge fuck you to every single fucking person who dared say we were overreacting in 2016 and 2024.

We have reached the point of People of Good Will and People of the Book using their bodies as human shields to protect fellow human beings in our country from our government. And they are dying as a result. And more will come. These are not "paid protestors".

Lots of discussions about our constitutional rights. These rights are protected by our elected gov’t who have sworn to defend them.Those rights are being violated daily by people violating those oaths. They are not being defended by other people who swore oaths to do so. Who will stop this?

Given the news, it seems appropriate to share this photograph once more. Feel free to share. Hand of a gilded bronze statue of an Roman emperor. From Kempten, 1st to 3rd c. AD On display at Archäologische Staatssammlung 📷 me

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

I am fully armed with not but a powerful whistle and the spirit of every single Good Minnesotan putting in work looking out for one another. We offer hot beverages, and baked goods. I am just soft flesh and I am unstoppable. #MNSTRONG

Just got back from my time traveling dinosaur safari and you won’t believe how many butterflies I stepped on! Now to take a big sip of water and check on President Harris’s trip to Davos

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

AIM are the good guys. If you see folks sporting this flag, you can relax knowing they're here to help us get ICE off our backs.

Anyone who can look at the current situation in the US and decide it is “just politics” and doesn’t impact anyone in their life… is wrong. Not only wrong, but is not considered safe to share with by people they care about. Someone you love is endangered right now.

Hello from Minnesota. If you’re a young person here, please consider starting a punk band as soon as possible. We need it now and history will need it later.
