The draft executive order floating around wants to force people to re-register to vote between now and the midterms. Clearly beyond Trump’s authority, and completely pointless unless your goal is to limit turnout

The Kansas driver license thing is just the sublimation of every time I've said that we should be abolishing the gender marker instead of allowing it to be changed or having an "X" gender marker. Like how do you think they had a list of people to mail that notice to ahead of time?

i thought sex offenders weren’t supposed to live in government housing

Holds up

Never heard of this law before right this second but holy fuck if it does not 100% check out

@mayor.nyc.gov Zohran Mamdani was spotted in Brooklyn helping residents dig their cars out of the snow:

I was on the fence -- her and Raja. Everything I've seen since beginning to pay closer attention says it's her and not close. #StrattonForIllinois2026

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act. The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. For trans adults, Kansas is the newest "Do Not Travel" warning, only the 3rd state to achieve that warning. For youth, a change to the map increases risk to Medium in many states. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.

so we paid the tariffs and now the corporations that passed the costs on to me and you are the ones that are going to be reimbursed, do i have that correct

people not in MN cannot comprehend how hating ICE is now a core cultural component of being Minnesotan. it’s babe the big blue ox, loons, hot dish, and ICE OUT NOW

Joseph Gordon-Levitt went to the Senate claiming to "hold big tech accountable" while promoting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda and boosting groups like Morality in Media (aka NCOSE), which has sought to criminalize LGBTQ sex, w board members that support conversion therapy

whyyyyy did it take so long for the universe to give us whole-face chapstick? this shit rules

People are calling Kid Rock’s halftime show Klanchella 💀

I think that's how I fell so hard into reading Diane Duane and Tanya Huff because so much of the sci fi was written by creeps for creeps

Dawanna Witt is the Hennepin County sheriff and Jodi Wentland is the County Administrator. They are responsible for this.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

Asimov's actions, and the tolerance-up-to-celebration of it, absolutely drove women out of field and out of fandom, and made it easier for others in the field, writers, editors and fans, to follow his lead for decades. Asimov pinching asses was not about his work. It kept women and their work out.

Folks outside SF/F don't know that Asimov was a sexual harasser because while he was alive fandom thought it was cute (up to and including Asimov being invited to give a lecture on "The Power of Positive Posterior Pinching" at Worldcon, which he, wisely, declined). daily.jstor.org/asimovs-empi...

There is no non-crime use case for Bitcoin and there never will be. And here we are.

BETHESDA HQ, 2002: Todd Howard: You can play as one of the four human races: Swedish, French, Italian, or Black. You can also play as one of the four elven races: Nazi, cannibal, Jewish, or poop. Or a cat or a lizard. Investor: What about a dwarf? Todd Howard: Mike said they all died of autism.

Every American needs to watch this:

“I cast the deciding GOP votes to protect President Trump and his allies in multiple high-profile enforcement matters…Time & again, along with my GOP colleagues, I blocked partisan witch-hunts aimed directly at Donald Trump,” Trainor said in his statement about the endorsement, “loyalty matters.”

"except in extraordinary and unusual circumstances" is a big enough loophole for a family of elephants to walk through. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

After a lengthy appeals process and productive discussion with the Blue Sky safety team I will no loinger be sending George Thorogood lyrics to beautiful women on here via DM. Thank you all

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

There is no question this was a lynching and public execution. They didn’t even know Alex had a gun in his HOLSTER until he was on the ground. He never touched it. They beat him then shot him 10x.

if the groundhog pops its head out and doesn't get tear-gassed, the United States gets six more weeks of democracy

Liberals treat guns the same way conservatives treat abortions. They have them, they just don't talk about it.

As Greg points out, the Times thinks they're doing a dunk on Pretti, when actually they're providing evidence of *motive.* The ICE agents should be charged with Murder 1.

Deeply inevitable, entirely predicted, and the shit people running this country don't give a damn.

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.

We invaded France and no one will sell us a croissant. It’s very hard on the men.

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

This is not the kind of behavior I expect from a FIFA Peace Prize recipient www.reuters.com/world/middle...

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Sooo this regime...

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

This Democrat is not "united" behind any of these "reforms". The only reform we need to to dismantle DHS. Repeal its authorizing legislation. Return all of the agencies that were removed from other departments back to those departments (e.g. USSS to Treasury, INS to Justice). Abolish the rest.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

As I've seen elsewhere: If they showed 'Melania' on a plane, people would still walk out.

I don't know why Dems keep throwing up their hands and saying that they can't reduce funding for ICE because it's part of Trump's mislabeled "Big Beautiful Bill". Bullshit. What Congress gave, Congress can take away. All they have to do is pass a bill that directs funding away from ICE and CBP

We are now 40 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

TikTok censoring the word "Epstein" only makes me wonder how many times Larry Ellison is in the Epstein files.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

We should tear down ICE HQ in DC and replace it with a national memorial to everyone killed by ICE since its establishment in 2002.
