Again this is talking to a product as if it is a company spokesperson. I have met turkeys smarter than this

Wow. The front cover of today’s Objectiv magazine in Slovenia (the birthplace of Melania Trump). Trump with a Hitler moustache made from Venezuelan oil.

Posted by @liminalwarmth.bsky.social: “Someone I personally know in Minneapolis posted this to Facebook a few hours ago. This isn’t what orderly law enforcement looks like. No charge, no location info? How do you even know citizens are getting due process here?”

Schumer and Jeffries still 100% behind ICE and refusing to apply any oversight, despite party outcry.

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.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Me: “This has been such an exhausting year.” You: “Jon, its technically only the first week…” Me but now I’m holding a megaphone: “THIS HAS BEEN SUCH AN EXHAUSTING YEAR.”

“nationalism is a construct” keep going big guy. we’ll make you a critical theorist yet.

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

2/2 Women messing w men's heads du jour, #2: Salome having a special moment with John's head. Maybe a little chat. By Elisabetta Sirani of Bologna.

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

This is your city. Everyone should be safe in their homes, in their workplaces, and in our community. I’m determined to make it that way. Find immigration response resources at @washindivisble and at bit.ly/IRRP. #thisisyourcity #seattle www.instagram.com/mayorofseatt...

Interesting to see men in black beanies with crackling radios when I did my morning ritual for the earth this morning. I'm not intimidated. I'll see you tomorrow and the next and I will only champion Native-Americans' cause harder. I wasn't meant to survive, but I did and this is just the beginning

standing with the protesters in Iran. stay safe ♥️♥️

I think the best way to respect the memory of Renee Nichole Good, the poet killed by ICE, is to read some poetry and write a poem. Snatch back language from the jaws of death. Which is also one of the reasons I went back to learning Irish.

At some point Americans are going to need to behave like the French.

they need to do that for the Pacific

I learned my morning ritual from Robin Wall Kimmerer. You pour some of your coffee out and say thanks to the gods of the Indigenous ppl who lived on the land you're standing on. It is part of what Kimmerer calls becoming Indigenous to a place. I want also to incorporate sacred tobacco eventually

“When I was making THE VIRGIN SUICIDES, I thought, why can’t people make films for young women that are done with respect and treat them as a serious audience?" Watch Sophia Coppola's singular debut feature on the Criterion Channel in our THE 90s DO THE 70s collection! 💖🌸🎥

That is what I've been saying for years. Before I developed an illness, a woman called me "crazy" and urged me to kill myself. She has continued to describe me that way even though the things I have that anger her-- Loving parents, a wonderful boyfriend-- have nothing to do with my illness.

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show. FP: That’s not true AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

The glovebox full of her stuffed animals really knocked the wind out of me. Think I need to come up for air for a bit.

There were people in 1970 who thought the student protesters at Kent State deserved it when they were shot to death. I’m reminding myself of that so I don’t fall into denial and imagine the sadistic glee I’m seeing on X about the ICE shooting is new. It’s not. It’s a strand in our cultural fabric.

Things are simultaneously appalling and utterly surreal.

Practice kindness in these fraught times. Please.

I should make a wishlist for things critical race theorists should consider but number one would be the fact that "white" is a fake homogenous category imposed on all European-descended ppl, who had to relinquish their traditions, language and culture to become this amorphous thing "white Americans"

New year, new books: WWB team members on the translated titles we're most looking forward to in 2026. Read here: wordswithoutborders.org/read/article...

There was a suggestion this morning that some ppl's reading lists were not diverse enough. My reading list has books from Latino, Indigenous, and Arab authors. You know what's fascist? Diversity counts in reading. You should just read what makes you happy. That's all.

My NYT obit on Aldrich Ames, CIA turncoat for the Russians. I interviewed him in the county lockup after his arrest in 1994, then by telephone for eight hours. Deluded, deeply alcoholic, he thought he could lift up the hood of history and tinker with the engine. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/o...

Cool!

Since Abortion, Every Day’s predictions for 2025 proved to be unfortunately prescient, we’re doing it again. A theme runs through this list: 2026 will be a big year for conservatives showing us who they are. It will be a year without nuance, pretense, or shame.

Happy birthday to the one and only, Hayao Miyazaki.

In a melancholy poem looking back upon his youth, Jimmy Schulyer described Auden thus: "Perhaps only Wystan was, in an angry way,/ serene." I believe I'm going to cultivate that: an angry serenity. I believe that might be the way forward.

We have also flooded their countries with weapons and sent military advisors in previous occupations which they turn and use against their own people. We have not exported democracy. We have a toxic culture which exports violence, suffering, and corruption.

I hate to rant on about the drug war being a political front but you can see now the political and economic value inherent in claiming drugs as a rationale for invading Latin American countries, who produce drugs for an American market because the demand is here, not in their countries.

As a person with family ties to Minnesota, a mother of a neurodivergent son, and a person who cheered Tim Walz on, I hope he continues his good work and wish him and his family peace, love, and joy as they continue on their journey.

U.S. foreign policy: From the policeman of the world to the bully of the world.

"All About Eve" the film is a portrayal of how an older woman meets a younger woman who professes to be her "biggest fan" and proceeds to take the woman's career and her husband. The end? NO. Because eventually the woman meets another younger woman who professes to be -her- "biggest fan".

Misogyny is real. As is, for women, internalized misogyny.

Happy #Caturday friends

It’s Caturday cold but Willow is on duty and enjoying extra dreamies.

You don't hold the moral high ground no matter your twisting.

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

they just shut down all the planned parenthoods from Santa Cruz down to Monterey. No funds, apparently. Might fuck around and volunteer at the closest planned parenthood if there is any.

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"
