This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

I convinced this very shy kitten to play with my hand last night, including gentle bapping and some emotional support biting! Melody is the softest best girl who isn't very confident but is still coming around really nicely.

You can no longer find my writing on Substack. It is long overdue, but I just can't justify forcing people to use a platform that supports such hateful ideologies just to read my stuff. So now you can find it on my own site! ravnicanreadingnook.com #writersky #vorthos #indywriter #FuckICE

Happy 'large boulder the size of a small boulder' day to all who celebrate!

"The Dark Lord has taken over our land. What do we do?" "Learn from the goblins." "What? Those useless little-" "Takes skill to mask rebellion as incompetence." "What?" "They know His reign will end. For now, they persist and resist." "Oh." "Also: remember every moment of joy is a victory."

Oh, boy, I have a new favorite word!

I have found the worst acronym: "PLOP" for "Partial Lump Sum Option"

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

i think something people really don't understand is that right now there are literally dozens of vulnerable Republican members of Congress whose loud and proud support for ICE are ripe for attacking this year but if Democrats join with them to pass "ICE reform" it lets all of them off the hook

Could you repeat that? I wasn't listening. #ToesOutTuesday #aDailyViolet

"Return CBP to the border" Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

We have unlocked Junco’s very first purr! I had plenty of video of the Christmas Carol kittens purring and kneading their blanket, so I put it on for him and let him listen and it really helped put him the last little bit at ease where he felt reassured and safe enough to purr, too.

(Video description: a black and white tuxedo kitten, very fluffy, closes his eyes and purrs softly while being petted)

you guys wanna see a comic I made in 2009? lmao.

I hate calling my reps because I’m a crier when I get passionate, but I do it anyway because being a little embarrassed is better than not standing up for myself and my neighbors. Anyway, call your reps today and tell them to abolish ICE. Not retrain, not rein in, for gods’ sakes not fund.

After our coldest weather in nearly a year, the region will thaw out and warm up today with plenty of sunshine. But another strong front arrives Thursday night. By Sunday morning we could see temperatures nearly as cold as this morning, although we have no wintry precipitation concerns. #houwx

I'd almost understand if this were an attempt to compromise with Republicans — but is this really the best they can get Democrats to agree with each other on?

This country has a serious fascism problem, but cats exist, so that’s nice. 📷 Pentax 17 🎞️ Portra 400 #believeinfilm #catsonfilm

I've been casually trying to add Grumps to my patting roster of a morning - okay I mean, there's no roster, BUT I pat everyone indiscriminately as I feed wet food and I've stopped avoiding him. Very casual. Not looking at him. Just patting whoever is in the way. It's working about 50% of the time!

she lost 3lb over the last year and is now at a fairly healthy weight, but you wouldn't know it because her natural state is being a fat fuck.

We are 267 cat emoji short of the full set. Unacceptable.

The variegated moon came out so cute

Chickadees are a pretty good symbol for community defense; they're rooted in their locality (don't migrate), they indicate resources to migratory birds, they warn of threats ("chickadee-dee-dee-dee") and they dgaf about the cold

The arc of history bends IN THE DIRECTION *WE FUCKING WELL **PUSH** IT*

i'm not entirely sure what's going on here, but i assume it involved pointing at the HOA rulebook and saying "go on, show me where it says i can't"

So I’ve taken Disapproving Rabbits out of retirement as part of the resistance. Proceeds will go to The Bond Between who are taking in pets after people are disappeared by ICE. www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Di...

Just a few more days left to get in on my poinsettia dragon ornaments and minis!

A power-sharing agreement has been reached! They have joined forces and stated their intent to rule the household together through the power of cuteness.

Can I offer a photo of a distinguished gentleman in these trying times?

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Went to try to disable this but apparently it’s not available to all stores just yet. So you need to keep an eye on your store to see when agentic shit appears for you. Again, it’s auto enabled because of course it is. It apparently will be under settings once it’s there. More info in the link.
