the fact that most American workers live in such precarity that they can’t afford to travel to other parts of the world and see how other people live is not a coincidence - it is part of this country’s very design.

What happened in Kansas is *exactly* why you need to get rid of Newsom at the primary. He will not protect trans people. He will not protect homeless people. He will not protect anyone.He considers outside of the cultural norm. ... that's Republican shit.

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass. You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

the ars journalist who was so sick he "accidentally" used an llm to write his article (abt ai) could literally just not have worked. he didn't have to work! the story would still have been there was he was better or someone else could've written it. like, my dude. you had one job and now look at you

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

“After their humans were disappeared by ICE”

The embroidery piece in the header image of this fantastic article is just stunning, but the one further down from Sarah Gonsalves with Renee Good's last words and her murderer's response literally took my breath away.

This absolutely tracks

Tomorrow evening! The crossover event of the century!

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

Thread of gfm for the non white victims 🧵

Almost every reason people have for defunding or abolishing ICE is also a reason to defund or abolish the police, yet many people who are rightly calling for action against ICE would never come close to doing to the same for police. But this fight goes beyond just ICE. ICE represents a larger issue.

Ebooks cost public libraries money. Public libraries should be properly funded.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

There’s absolutely nothing to debate.

yes.

The majority of the general public also supports police impunity.

Great distinction. Observers on the ground are bearing witness so we all know what's happening. Posters obsessing over watching atrocity videos are just self-harming.

I think it's best for my mental health to stay the hell away from the internet today. But, now and forever, fuck ICE

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.

You do not need to traumatize yourself to be a better person, a better activist, to better oppose the people and forces engaged in this murderous evil. You just need to know it's happening and take action.

Counterpoint: you can and some of you will give yourselves honest to G-d PTSD watching it. Doing that will make you less able to maintain your life, to experience the joy you need to be resilient, to nurture the relationships that will support you, and to be an effective activist.

Also, the arctic vortex wandering south like this IS an indicator of climate change, as it is due to the destabilization of the jet stream and oceanic currents.

people are like "what are we going to do with ICE agents if we defund the agency" and i think we should just put them in the camps we built for migrants and only let them out to be on game shows directed by mr beast

Got a new video dropping this weekend and it's one of those where inserting the sponsor read kinda felt like a dagger in my heart, so please watch on Nebula!! If you can!!!

This is what love looks like.

"Organize my ideas." That's what actual writers use, you know, their BRAINS for. 😡 When the tool's been built on the result of OTHER writers' organization of their ideas, with months of work and pain, day after day? SHAME.

just by the by, i can't believe that even though this album came out last year, i still love it just as much as the first moment i heard it

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Our 2026 Calendars are now reduced to clear (meaning to get them off my desk so I can actually do some work on it again). thelifeofsharks.com

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

thread - this was helpful for me to understand. thank you @nathantankus.bsky.social for pointing me to it.

Every time I see someone yammering about abolish ICE / policing and how DEEPLY UNPOPULAR it is, I want to remind them that the GOP abolished Roe v. Wade and that was also deeply, deeply unpopular, and here they are, in charge of everything still.

Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

Michigan’s one and only Shri Thanedar is on the list voting to thank ICE. He’s the one that just introduced ‘abolish ICE’ legislation. He is scum and holds no principles. Haley Steven’s is also on this list. She introduces impeachment articles against RFK and is running for senate. She is also scum.

I promised you some good news after a bleak week. Here it is. This is one of the most wrenching wrongful convictions I've ever written about. It is wonderful to see Charlie out and off to his new home. radleybalko.substack.com/p/after-35-y...

DO YOUR PART!

“They need better training” is just the liberal way of wanting nothing to change but also wanting to feel good about nothing changing

One of the many forms of the Rhinella margaritifera complex sharing a spot above ground with a cluster of tiger beetles. Life on the ground in the Amazon can be a dangerous place, so it's not uncommon to find animals spending time on leaves.

I just went through and saved a bunch of fics, though I wish I could find that kradam kinkmeme fic. idk what happened to it (or what it was called). I did save an Evan/Johnny one and a Sherlock fic for my sister.
