<nervous laughter> "You make it sound terrible" The pivot to "I want to talk to your supervisor" is the most fucking predictable thing in the world Anyhoo, this just goes to show the damage that the term "illegals" does, in giving chuds a sense of justification. Don't ever use that term

Burn it all down

Hmmm.

‘Succor III: Broad-billed Hummingbird’, from my series about hummingbird feeding. I loved how the colors came out on this one. Traditional gouache on 5x7 watercolor paper mounted on wood panel. This piece is sold, but prints are available. #birdart #🪶 #sciart #art #wildlifeart

My friend is really concerned about her 1 year old cat's safety. She's having serious health issues, can't drive, & her very limited local support network is trying to get her to just put the cat outside. Anyone know any rescue/fosters for a kitty in Montgomery County,TX?? @ckshowalter.bsky.social

From Portland, OR Mayor Keith Wilson “To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. […] To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children.” www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

A judge has ordered the U.S. to release a father and 5-year-old son who were taken into custody during the immigration crackdown in Minnesota. A judge previously ruled that they could not be removed from the U.S. for now. n.pr/4qVBJLV

I again, repeating myself, ad infinitum, still do not understand how Trump mocking a disabled reporter on camera at a rally in I dunno, 2015 wasn't enough of a red flag to get him cancelled by the media permanently and have his Apprentice shows taken off the air It should have ended RIGHT THERE.

It's Friday. The world may be a shit-show full of picklefuckers, but please remember to take your meds. Even it's only cos fascists hate the fact than chronically ill & disabled people get to exist. Spite fascists: look after your spoonie self, even one tiny bit. 😘

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime in 2024. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did. Reporter Beck Klein examines OPD's overtime use through 1 officer's astonishing schedule, revealing multiple problems and raising big questions. oaklandside.org/2026/01/29/o...

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Open yourself up to the universe. Receive the strange signals it provides. It may ask you to start crafting deranged sculptures out of moss, or to wear a tiara of ancient goblin bones. Be ready.

At a rally in Union Square right now, Council member @chiosse.bsky.social tells the crowd, “We certainly need to abolish ICE, but that’s not enough—we need Nuremberg trials.”

Sharing this kitten and her name, found on PetFinder, surely for no specific reason

As the son of a man who as a teenager had to hide in an attic to avoid capture by the Nazis: Every word of this thread. Every word. And this is what I would say to them if I were face to face with them right now: Sooner or later, you will all be going to jail for what you're doing.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

Honestly. There is no easy fix to <waves in GenX> alla this. But a starting place could be to address the CRIME of Citizens United. Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. And the place we're in right now? Owes a LOT to those two things being perverted by Citizens United.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Hunker down, my Texas the friends!

We're not even currently getting The Front, we're getting The Pre-Front, and yet again I would like to lodge a complaint with whoever assigned the task of barometer to my brain meats, because ow/🤮

Vancey, you may have some hard decisions to make soon. You'll receive a lot of advice about maintaining tradition, but if that fker lies in state, you will never get rid of the smell of pee.

It's a lie, Toad! Despite putting your clothes away today, you will have to put them up over and over again. Don't listen to Big Laundry!

I can't blame them. We should give the Statue of Liberty a plague banner to warn off unsuspecting travelers.

You are not broken. The world that should provide us with peace, warmth, fried potatoes, boozy milkshakes, and luxury blimp travel is broken.

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“

Please share this! I sent a version of these stories (before this was published today) to a non-Minnesota work network, w donation links, & asked people to share what’s happening Just got an email from someone who sent it to her mom, who sent it to her church, where it‘s inspiring resistance plans

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.
