I fucking wish I were in a hotel right now rather than living in a hazardous waste site. Those fuckers just cannot imagine anyone acting out of love, can they.

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

I’m glad that Claudette Colvin lived to 86 and the dilbert guy only made it to 68.

Exactly this!!

Californians? She looks adorable!

The San Joaquin, so mighty that over a century of dams and diversions, irrigation and reservoirs, haven’t killed it.

Corporations are the *only* people, my friend

The ppl on our side aren’t violent brutes who believe that might makes right. It’s almost as if neither immigrants nor their defenders are the threat the administration claims we are.

Some good news

Holy shit really? That’s crazy.

I don’t suppose any of my internet friends can tell me how diligent we need to be about cleaning up after having lead-infused plaster dust get all over the house. Must we take literally everything out to the yard for a proper washing like we are doing for cooking/eating stuff…?

"She made him do it" strikes again. He's not concerned the murder will anger us; he's insisting that saying it was murder and the officer a murderer will anger them and then our fault if they lash out. "She made him do it" is the burdening of Democrats and the left for right-wing/Republican acts.

“The social and emotional learning market” 🤮🤮🤮

Report both these fuckers

Grateful for everyone who is out protesting or monitoring the fascists or ordering more flyers or doing whatever they can today. Talked to a lot of ppl before noon, gave out info about legal help, hotline, mutual aid. We keep each other safe. 💪🏼

This.👇🏼

UCLA alum and Angeleno here, this takes 5 minutes of your time and is worth making your voice heard.

Some good news: my fellow rapid response volunteers are reporting that we are getting a lot more ppl interested in volunteering the last few days. 💪🏼

Also, its illegal to discuss gender in some American universities now.

Sadly there has been a lead-infused plaster dust containment breach. We are eating outside. Contamination OCD son is keeping his shit together amazingly well. He and I are going away for afternoon while poor husband wipes down everything he can. HEPA filters galore.

We are semi DIY-ing a kitchen gut job (which involves lead paint and lathe and plaster bc 100yo house. We are insane). Current state of things:

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Happy for the homeowner, sorry for the bear.

This really is a must read. Connecting the dots, and teaching others to do so, is a duty we all owe, as Americans.

Believe it or not, it was once very unusual to see videos of people getting killed. Now we're all going frame by frame. Take care of your brains folks. You can't make this murder right by replaying it.

Timeline cleanse. The world is hard and terrible things happen. There is also joy. That’s why we push back against the terrible things.

Excellent, and do cops next

This is beautiful and true.

Sooo…it isn’t a “lack of training.” It’s willful desire to kill.

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

Dude’s name is Jonathan Ross.

For the last few months, I kept a document where every time I saw reports of fed immigration agents shooting or pointing their gun at someone, I made a note. The list grew and grew. It now includes 4 deaths. Here is what I noticed keeping that list. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/07/i...

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

“Let this be the beginning of the end for ICE and for this Whitehouse.”

Huh you don’t say

Words for anyone who feels connected to what happened in MSP today. ❤️

I haven’t seen anyone else point out that the MSP murderer shot toward the victim *and one of his fellow goons* who was right next to her trying to open her door. You can see the second goon jump back as the gun goes off. So fucking trigger happy to kill civilians they’ll endanger each other.

Elizabeth Catlett, "Mother and Child," 1944

Holy. Shit. I knew this was coming; that doesn’t help at all.

Starting my 11th g Am lit class today, which is all about how stories shape our idea of what “American” means. Just put a hold on this book at the library bc I revise this course every year…

Here are some choice quotes from Jack Smith’s testimony about the conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. “..the evidence made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy.”

… “Ty goodnight” would actually be shorter….

A good read.
