IT'S ALMOST TIME!!! Prepare the stash!!

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork. The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

Sam's awnser boils down to: the chance to work with Nathan Fillion (yikes) and be on network tv is more important than any moral or principled stance. IF you unsubscribe and stop giving us money AND we don't get a bump of subscribers from the show airing, maybe we will reconsider doing this again

Very well dressed woman chasing down a Coco delivery robot yelling "I hate that thing. I'm going to fucking kill it" while her partner yells limply behind her "baby no you're gonna get sued"

I want to see the energy I saw when artists' got pissed about Kickstarter doing NFT shit to extend to this situation, and it's pretty wild that it hasn't happened yet.

two senior ice officials joke about awarding contracts for nine privately run immigration jails ahead of schedule in an email exchange from march 2025. “you’re such an overachiever,” writes susan dunbar. “I'm a people pleaser...it's a curse,” replies albert dainton, ice’s head of contracting.

I talked with @ziibiing.com about Stand With Minnesota, keeping neighbors housed during ICE escalation, and directing generosity where it’s actually needed.

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed. (2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind. (3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.

"In fact, the articles of impeachment drafted for Nixon stated that he had ‘endeavoured to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, confidential information contained in income tax returns for purposed (sic) not authorized by law.’”

federal agents arrested more people in connection with the cities church (led by an ICE agent) protest in st paul this morning. another independent journalist was arrested - brixton hughes. chauntyll allen's wife satara strong-allen was also arrested, both named in nekima levy armstrong's post

we didn't realize these didn't have alt text but the images are of zambonis clearing the ice at a hockey rink while the people on them hold up a trans pride flag that says "TRANS PPL BELONG IN SPORTS" and a black flag that says "ABOLISH ICE" the PWHL is genuinely taking over as our primary league

recalling when I worked at the flight school and a wayward turtle walked onto the runway and a pilot said so, then a guy in a golf cart went out there, moved the turtle, and radioed "the turtle has been revectored", a phrase that has been seared into my brain for life

in 2012, it was six. now it's four.

The U.S. is a country that is unable to handle death but is awash in it. A country with people who often can't process grief. These are terrible things.

NEW: As Black History Month comes to a close, CBP appears to have scrubbed stories about Black people and marginalized groups' contributions to the history of the agency from an official page. Archived versions show the changes happened the first week of February:

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

It's almost like having renter protections is good.

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Block by block, our South Minneapolis neighborhood got through February by tapping our networks to cover rent for immigrant families, but rent is due again on Sunday and we need to raise at least $26K to make sure our neighbors aren’t evicted givebutter.com/corcoran-nei...

Remember when this was funny because it was so absurd nobody thought it would happen??

Just thinking about how nowadays you are always having to ask 'do you take cash?' and you're not surprised if they say no, but for most of the last thousand years or so that would have been almost unthinkable in most establishments. Weird isn't it, how massive changes sneak their way in? Hi!

No matter where you live, if you have any capacity to volunteer, we have a lot of unpaid folks helping administer rent and skymiles donations, and we need more support.

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

“He acknowledged to the dispatcher that he was planning to get out of his vehicle. The dispatcher interjected. ‘Why? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,’ the dispatcher said. ‘I don’t want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.’”

OH MY GOD imagine waking up and breathlessly trying to explain to your half-asleep husband what/why crystal Shrek is and then ending the story "and now he's going to live HERE," absolutely the best moment of my 2026, I can't believe it, miracles do happen

Scotland's Community Wealth Building Bill is a potentially world-changing strategic economic law with the power to end billionaire domination. Little wonder that *zero* English media outlets have covered it.
