Renee Good's family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and have now hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to press for answers and accountability.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

Flashbangs burn hotter then lava. They've caused serious burns, severed hands, and even killed. *That's* what ICE just tossed into a car full of kids. Here's our investigation from 2015, by @juliaangwin.com: www.propublica.org/article/flas...

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

you can have Trump or James Madison. You cant have both.

A reminder that bringing shitty posts over from That Fascist Site to be performatively angry about them here is a choice you don't have to make! You can just leave them there! There is so much else to be legitimately angry about! You will not lack for content!

I’ve been reading the Gamache mystery series, and one character makes another a comforting cup of Red Rose tea. This tea is so much closer to what my grandmother, a US Southerner, used to make a fantastic iced sweet tea. I may try making that later.

Yes!!!! I loved this both in the book and Star Trek!

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows. “No,” an agent replies. “Back up.” “I’m a physician!” “I don’t care.”

Take a moment to lower your blood pressure with this one.

Every time I have to Google, “what is the correct order of this book series “, an angel dies

Great is goodness;

I cannot stress enough that before bluesky I had no serious internet presence to speak of, I had about 80 twitter followers under my real name and I bet at least 60 of them were bots, I posted sporadically into the void sometimes people are like "I followed you on twitter too!" and no you did not

I love him so much wait who said that

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Timeline cleanser: black sand beach, Kauai, August 2025. Sound on.

Gwenda's post reminds me to once again start reading an actual book before breakfast instead of doomscrolling. I have a few books I need to read so I'm all set. I wrote about this too in my newsletter as a "life hack", and it really helped my daily mood. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/14951...

They arrived in Columbia, South Carolina, and the crowds were already there. Not shouting. Not chanting. Just waiting. Some people had been there since the night before — not for a spectacle, not for a leader promising power — but to stand quietly as the monks of the Walk for Peace passed through.

The monks are now in Columbia, South Carolina

A moment to embrace some absurdity... My new North Carolina driver's license has a horse on the back and a hologram of my head appears floating under the horses belly.

Virginia researchers reveal widespread coastal 'ghost forests'

A few shiitakes this morning.

There is so much attrocious shit going on we’re not even talking about the dude who stole like 100 skeletons from a Philly cemetery. That should be the story of the week and we’re like “not now creep-o, we got bigger fish to fry.” UGH.

@brainchain.ca I don’t have many rose photos and wonder if these are wild roses at the park a few years ago. #PostMoreRoses

My friend Kate Armstrong, @brainchain.ca, asked us to post pictures of roses, #PostMoreRoses, but in my catalog of over 200,000 botanical photos, there is not a single one of a rose. If we broaden to the family Rosaceae, we have this nice pear flower in the rain.

This quote from the article gave me chills! “It is wild that we can see the same event happen again and again naturally, thanks to the distortion of spacetime created by gravity.”

simply the greatest

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

Just got a reasonably convincing scam call from someone purporting to be with the Durham County Sheriff's Office, alleging I missed federal jury duty and a bench warrant had been issued for my arrest Guy had me almost worried for a solid 2-3 minutes They even did up a fake warrant to text me!

Given the news, I just want to say Im proud of the feminist and liberatory curriculum and training I received in Texas A&M's English Department. The work I produced there has won awards. I was tenured based on that preparation and their faculty's right to self-determine content.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

We are so beyond the dark place that it’s not even enough to use metaphors

Indeed.

this is a thing that has happened organically among readers of the book and I feel so blessed to have listeners who engage with what I do in such creative ways. thank you all, I work hard at what I do and you make it deeply worth it

Worth remembering this was the initial police statement after George Floyd was murdered. Another incident captured on video.

Weird question, but does anyone know what kind of microbes may turn an oat flake blue? #microbes #bacteria #slimemold

Sub “anything” for “sports” and that’s me

YESSSSS I love when you see a skater who recognizes they are nailing the shit out of their routine. The last third is so fun.
