Linda Davis was a respected and beloved teacher. She is yet another victim of ICE brutality. Chatham County has strict strict policies regarding high-speed chases. ICE has no rules whatsoever. Aggressive ICE stops in Chatham County raise fears among residents thecurrentga.org/2026/02/19/a...

"I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history."

No question whatsoever. Murder in broad daylight.

One thing I love about New Yorkers is they can just be running some errands and will still take the time to go and tell some fascist MF’ers to GTFO.

My post on Reddit yesterday was worded poorly. I said "Charlotte's Web Isn't Done Yet." Should have been "CBP says Charlotte's Web Isn't Done Yet." Because CBP was, in retrospect, plainly lying to the public. Again. A point I made in the story published today. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The funniest most chilling thing about this is the question of why this has even come up. Who has a burning desire to… display these symbols ?

From the scientists still fighting the good fight at the CDC.

The President of the United States is calling for sitting Members of Congress to be killed. Every death threat against them and their families will be on his hands. Regardless of your party, every American should loudly condemn this.

#Charlotte'sWeb Charlotte spun her web to save a life — that’s the damn point. 🕸️ Brave. Kind. 🐷 🤬 ICE is evil, incompetent, & missing the message of this antifascist classic. World-class fuckwads. Read Charlotte’s Web. Borrow her courage — save lives, raise hell & roast ICE.

This little B!tch is spiraling

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

Never used it, never looked at it, never will. I turn off AI results in browsers and everything else whenever I can.

The GOP is incapable of any action except funneling money from poor people to rich people and lying.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Right to the heart. Boom.

YES WE DID!!!

This has the double effect of personnel not having to make decisions (the racist profiling app does it for them) while also relieving them of responsibility: “Hey, it’s not me, it’s the app!” This is incredibly racist, dangerous, and irresponsible.

Where we are presently on the fascism scale: Telling law enforcement they may not tear-gas children.

Snap.

They lost loved ones in 9/11. We invited them to leave a voicemail in their memory.

Strange how simply quoting Charlie Kirk's own words gets one accused of being a violence-loving hate-monger. It's almost as if the words themselves were the problem.

From the piece: "Anthropic has reached a preliminary settlement in a class action lawsuit brought by a group of prominent authors, marking a major turn in one of the most significant ongoing AI copyright lawsuits in history." #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity www.wired.com/story/anthro...

From the article: "I could ask the Atlanta police for a readout of everyone arrested by a city cop in the last 24 hours and get it. I could ask the jail for a running tab of everyone they've processed, and the charges. Neither of those things appears to be possible in Washington D.C. right now."

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s been in Congress for almost 5 years. Ask yourself what has she done to make life better for: 📚 Teachers 👵 Seniors 🎖️ Veterans 🚜 Farmers 🎓 Young Adults 🔧 Skilled Trades & Union Workers

Protests planned in Milwaukee.

"The truth is, DOGE was never about making government more efficient. It was about taking control of it from the inside. What happened at the NLRB is not an isolated incident—it’s a warning of what happens when billionaires are handed unchecked power inside public institutions."

Home-growns are next, according to Trump. Go to a little after 7:00 to hear.

Solidarity with the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands!

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

"Insanity is a good word for what's happening here on the house floor." Yes, ma'am. That word does indeed serve. Thank you for calling out the insanity, the ridiculousness, the time wasting utterly preposterous bullshit.

"Musk says “I know more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on Earth,” but back in the real world Musk is in charge of a car manufacturing company that can’t even spec the correct grade of panel glue." www.wired.com/story/where-...

Great items and an even greater cause! All my mystery-loving friends, get yourself over there!

Our "representative" refuses to show his face ever, but if he ever does . . .

An interview with my friend and now debut author Cat Jameson! What a delightful phrase she used to describe reading romance for the first time: "a catalogue of pleasure." My First Smut: A Catalogue of Pleasure smutreport.com/2025/01/23/m...

I wish I could tell you that Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA because OF COURSE) introducing a bill to acquire and rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland" was satire, but alas. It is not. People are hurting and dying and these clowns waste time and money pulling this BS? Jackasses. Every single one.

A tarot card for challenging times: The Sun, featuring Sister Rosetta Tharpe, from the Our Tarot deck. The Sun is a card of optimism and good cheer. Tough these days, I know. May the Sun do what the Sun does best—hearten, strengthen, and cast its cleansing light into dark places. #tarotsky

We're living in the Upside Down. The very worst timeline. Insert any pop culture dystopia and yep. We're in it.

⚠️ BREAKING: U.S. 🇺🇸 reports 3.794 million new COVID-19 cases in a single week, with 542,000 daily infections. Currently, 1 in every 88 Americans is infected with COVID-19. Transmission rates are now higher than at any point during 50.8% of the pandemic.

Elon Musk says we should allow more WHITE South Africans to emigrate to the US. Not South Africans of any other race - specifically WHITE South Africans only.

While legacy media had to be dragged into reporting on the Musk coup, WIRED was on it from the first hot second. They are accurate, unflinching, and clear in their commitment to truth, integrity, and democracy. Give them a follow and perhaps a subscription? The first year is only $5.

Everyone should read this but especially our folks in federal agencies, where the walls have ears.

Pete Buttigieg isn’t taking Trump’s shit today.

May their fight be victorious.

There's no requirement to have an "Inaugural Prayer Service," Presidents do it to make them look like good Christians with a holy writ to rule. If you don't want to get a Christian sermon, don't invite a Bishop to give a Christian sermon.
