The Episcopal Church has put together a very impressive toolkit for protesting, including tips for clergy in particular. Truly inspiring. This is how Christians ought to be engaging the moment. www.episcopalchurch.org/protesting-f...

"Anti-ICE sentiments made up nearly 80 percent of submissions."

I mean. I basically AM Anxiety Owl 🦉

ah, the dulcet tones of someone else washing the dishes 🥰

I think about this post a lot.

“RICO CRIME - STOP POSTING” is my new go-to Bluesky reply.

Those who make whistles impossible make vuvuzelas inevitable

Saw a reply to this thread saying "what's cool is all these problems are solved by abolishing ICE" and... no, no they are not. Abolishing ICE doesn't even abolish CBP. But also the massive data/privacy issues Wyden is talking about have implications far beyond even the worst 3-letter agencies.

This is wonderful: a 100% solar-powered website. The article explains why that means sometimes the site goes down (and why that's something you should be willing to put up with) and what other things they do to make the website "light" solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/the-so...

never been a better moment to go after qualified immunity for EVERYONE, not just ICE. Pressley never misses

Honestly, I just wish you have a creative day. Make something. That is a win.

Btw, for those looking to peacefully dissent, I present the stellar work of a fine citizen of Edmonton from a few years ago.

Out today: Texas Democrats have been attempting the inverse maneuver for a generation: trying to win elections without taking into account the eroded civic foundations of the state. Zohran Mamdani's victory points at another way forward.

And then walked by this awesome sign

I got given some of my aunt’s yarn stash to use up and I would like everyone to appreciate what this colour is called

Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

Conservative bewildered by the idea of people believing in a cause.

They're retreating. It's time to advance. Resignations, prosecutions. Motherfucking tribunals.

It's like trying to explain to your five year old who is currently president and how he got there. Personification of scam culture for all time in gold office, labeled so he doesn't get lost.

I need a cross-stitch that says “from the editorial board” to hang above my toilet

Fighting fire with fire: drops of male mosquitos full of bacteria that cause egg sterility where resident mosquitoes don't belong - and birds affected by avian malaria do. It's ingenious, audacious, and could save desperately endangered endemic bird species in Hawai'i.

Wise words

"Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve...The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In MN, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once."

ARRAKEEN — Baron Vladimir Harkonnen announced today Rabban Harkonnen has been replaced as head of the Arrakis occupation. The Baron has named Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen as the new overlord, promising that the Fremen will come to love him. Chuck Schumer declared victory and voted to fund the Harkonnens.

Right now normie places are spitting mad about the murder. Miller is a viscerally unpleasant person who says unhinged shit on national television regularly. Seems like a campaign to flood social media with reels of his worst shit edited together would be handy, to pick one idea that occurs to me

Strong agree but also I am luxuriating in how upset the bambini bovini is this fine evening, he must be just SQUEAKIN mad

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

This right here is why we can never let up until detentions and removals are stopped. When someone is got, they are spirited away as quickly as possible with no notice or documentation. We have little to no visibility into what is occurring in the camps. We know we cannot believe DHS.

Taco editor José R. Ralat's work for Texas Monthly demands hundreds of hours on the road each year. For him, being pulled over by immigration-enforcement officers has felt like an inevitability for months. https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/taco-editor-stopped-by-ice/

kristi noem set to retire from her post in order to spend more time at a big dog-killing farm upstate

it’s really amazing if you think about it. people are feeding each other. doing each others laundry. taking in other people’s children even. so much care is happening that you can’t see but you can feel.

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free. Donations: Venmo: moderntimescafe givemn.org/story/centralimpactfund

Taxes are good, taxes are how governments pay for things. Tax cuts are a right wing response to systemic problems that just make everything worse overall by weakening the government's ability to implement real solutions.

“Her name is Katerina Minola, renown’d en la frontera for her wild tongue.” Under Ryan Matthieu Smith’s direction, The Taming of the Shrew's setting moves to 1880s San Antonio. The use of Spanish reflects this milieu, the backgrounds of the performers, and the linguistic diversity of Dallas.

something sorta funny about this one is that it's purely a branding protection lawsuit, the actual damages claim is a single united states dollar

listen, we are going to do BEAUTY and we're going to do it TOGETHER and we are NOT leaving anyone behind and it's going to take real work and we are going to get tired but the end (there is no end) will be more life and more beauty and more of everyone and we are going to do it

You could do a lot without any legal change. I oversaw civil forfeiture for DOJ Criminal Division, which did huge cases including against banks. Spent most of my career trying to get people to go after bigger targets.

imagine if we lived in a listening culture that valued being heard over being right.

this is how i feel about so many books

In anniversary news which I can’t quite verify, it may be 39 years (possibly more) since the Indian Air Force dressed their helicopters up as elephants for Republic Day

Amazing cover of this piece of musical history about Hitler. I’m very impressed that this band decided to cover this song for now other reason than to make sure we can all appreciate Irving Berlin’s lyrical talent.

I tried to take a picture of my ice-encrusted pine tree with a slow exposure as the freezing rain continued to fall this evening, and the result is pretty amazing!
