Fuck these terrible times

Here's a nice old dog I met yesterday. Her name is Heidi. Fingers crossed, she might get a great home with some friends. #seniordogs #shelterdogs #dogsky

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Yep it's clear

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

And then opens the door to this

So we've had two white male Marine veterans commit mass shootings this weekend in Michigan and North Carolina leaving at least 4 dead and a church burned down. I'm sure MAGA will declare it an epidemic and push to ban white male Marine veterans from owning guns any day now.

Bombs were found inside the suspected shooter’s vehicle, police say.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, the far-right, led by the Trump administration, has doubled its efforts to crackdown on transgender people. My latest article in The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

😂

Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.

Just to piss off Nexstar, Sinclair, and Trump. Linking to the Kimmel YouTube video which has nearly 3 million views. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Trump's UN speech was his most embarrassing showing since the "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL" one

😭

Sigh

Flights have been halted to Copenhagen Airport after multiple drones were spotted over the Øresund Strait, Reuters reports.

Meltdown on "Truth" Social in 5... 4... 3... 2...

Tylenol does not cause autism, but also realize that the anxiety and fear about autism is fundamentally a type of ableism. It's okay for people to be autistic!

*mournfully shooting off a tshirt cannon into the sadly cheering funeral crowd*

Is the Charlie Kirk nonstop theater over now? Gotta love all the people weeping because his wife preached forgiveness. Then their golden god shows up and says fuck that. I hate everyone 😂

NEW: This is a story I worked really hard on. I spoke to four American trans people about why they're claiming asylum in Canada or the Netherlands. It's an eye-opening window into just how unsafe people now feel here — and what drove them to that point. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Deja Vu James Baldwin

"Depressed people often don’t have the energy to commit violent crimes, and psychotic people usually have trouble executing an elaborate plan. It’s angry people who kill, particularly angry men with access to firearms." www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

All the fb fake accts/bots this round are smiling bright white couples of assorted ages. It's bizarre

Good gawd. Syrup bottles! Rice! Names of sports teams! Burn it all down! They're beyond hope

🤔

Pertient repost. Might've been from you.

More to say about this book soon but this quote 💔 #JamesBaldwin Baldwin: A Love Story, Nicholas Boggs

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Anyhow I commented that maga are the real crybaby ❄️❄️❄️ and someone unironically said this is what you get for changing Aunt Jemima. Aliens? Meteor? Please?

I freaking hate it here.

I'm mostly in awe of how long it takes anyone to step in 😂

So I'm going to wait for solid evidence before I comment on their validity. But somethings is rotten in Denmark. END/

Gawd I love her

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

😢

As things go from bad to worse, they also get more ridiculous, which would be entertaining except for the part about getting worse
