every year i make a 'super bowl advertisement' bingo card for my friends. in these trying times,,, here's this year's:

This is happening here. Right now it's only people they're calling "illegals", but they've already said they're planning to hold anyone who opposes this regime in such camps. If you're not ready to die like this, do something now.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

and I'm pretty sure an even larger percentage of what we think of as ninja were. The real ones, not the way they were depicted in Chinese opera and whatnot.

Aftermath was born from the wake of previous Washington Post layoffs, a way to keep writing for the audience we knew was out there without short-sighted corporate decisions getting in the way. The indie road is a tough one, but it's one way forward for writers and readers aftermath.site

Neil Gaiman: it's me neil gaiman, imagineer and dreamweaver Gaiman: have you ever considered Gaiman: the incredible power of story? Gaiman: but perhaps even more powerful are the stories that we don't tell Gaiman: anyway here's my NDA

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

It is absolutely BANANAS that Slay the Princess has sold ten times more copies than Scarlet Hollow. Everyone should play both games, and especially anyone who's played Slay should know that there's MUCH more content in Scarlet Hollow!

Opposition to the “doxxing” of law enforcement is advocacy for having secret police.

JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Steven Pinker wrote a legal analysis of a *child sex crimes law* as a favor to Epstein and then had the gall to say he had no idea what the guy was accused of. All of the “hey what’s the big deal here” pageantry is insulting

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

NEW: The @wired.com Security desk put together a comprehensive guide to filming ICE—with tips for reducing risk at the forefront. No paywall, but please consider subscribing to help find these kinds of resources. And stay safe out there. www.wired.com/story/how-to... www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

Trump is extorting $10 billion from the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service he controls through his appointees in the most massively corrupt shakedown in US history. It will barely make the mainstream news. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Why should I watch something that a director didn't even bother to make?

Fact check: ICE has not withdrawn from Maine. Abductions are continuing unchecked.

hello I am launching my very own podcast with @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay where we (mostly casually!) chat about car culture in the decline of the American empire, auto racing, and industry news interspersed with tales of our former auto journo careers. we call it TRAN GIRLISMO

Damn who would have thought that Dr. Oz, an Armenian Genocide denier, would immediately start targeting Armenians once he was given a slice of power.

🚨 I've obtained a list of secret watchlists the Department of Homeland Security uses to keep tabs on American citizens www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ices-secre...

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

With you until the last part.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

we’re not getting hit with the imperial boomerang so much as we built an automatic imperial boomerang-throwing device and loaded thousands and thousands of boomerangs into it

Happy to announce our survival guide, “People’s Power Playbook”. Put together by our volunteers to give guidance on how to empower communities & show the type of organizing we should be engaging in, in order to be prepared for a general strike.

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

The park behind the building on the right was also just as full! Fascism cannot take Minnesota anymore than the darkness can cover the North Star. The darker it is, the brighter we’ll shine

The ICE deaths we're not talking about Trump's biggest concentration camp in Texas is rocked by 3 deaths in 33 days - one deemed 'homicide' after a violent encounter with guards. The ICE detention death rate is 10X (!!) Biden's final year My new column on a crisis www.inquirer.com/opinion/deat...

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

So to make this absolutely clear: When a pastor takes on a role outside the church that harms immigrants in direct contradiction to Christ's teachings, it is HE who has profaned the church. It is HE who has destroyed the sacred. Not those who would call the church to account.

Everyone who wears glasses is technically disabled. And yet those are some of the most ableist people on earth. Reality check sweetie, if it wasn't for your disability aids you woulda been dead. Yo ass cant see! Without glasses you woulda stumbled to your death years ago🤣be nice to others

Happy MLK Day!

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

A few of my favorite panels from the absolutely delightful graphic novel Children of the Night by @victoriasetian.bsky.social and Savanna Ganucheau.

“9 things the legislature should do in response to the ICE crackdown” - must read from Rep. @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social www.repmikeconnolly.org/9_things_the...

My point is… i just think it’s so unhelpful to point to everything going on and turn it into “courts lol” or “like there’s gonna be midterms lol.” Doomerism leads to complying in advance because if nothing matters why even bother.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Massachusetts folks: I made these stickers sharing LUCE's ICE hotline ☎️ 617-370-5023--they verify sightings and share confirmed info. Stickers fit 1"x2.6" label (Avery 5160). Image below or follow link for a full sheet. Print, stick every&anywhere. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7v098...

The purpose of DOGE was always to smash and grab sensitive data for eventual sale to the highest bidder.

Some ICE vehicles got taken and a streamer is saying that the entire MPLS city wide battle plan, operational overviews, tactical details and agent lists + id info just got found in the car lmao these clowns driving around with hatchbacks full of their whole shit like the villains in an immersive sim

Look what arrived in the mail today! I'm very excited to finally get my hands on a copy of @victoriasetian.bsky.social's GN debut.

Aside from this being incredibly stupid, it’s actively harmful. A QR code is just a link to a page where you don’t know the contents or address before you go there. What’s to stop ICE agents from using a QR code that directs you to something malicious?
