The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

we didn’t need a Rosh Hashanah version of Nancy Pelosi in kente cloth, but now we have it regardless

"war on autism" is the colloquial name, the name historians use is "the 2025 autist-pedophile conflict"

when your mom takes Tylenol in the 3rd trimester but you're already autistic

All Our Yesterdays is one of my favorite episodes, but i will not stop chuckling about how absolutely RANK zarabeth must have smelled lmao. and vulcans are supposed to be very sensitive to it!

ok hayward fault needs to calm down now thanks

the earthquake knocked over my decorative dried flax branches

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

there should be conventions for Boston Legal, like Star Trek conventions but with James Spader cosplayers in dumpy suits with prop cigars

Conservatives are obsessed with paranoid fantasies about sicko service workers fucking with them because their entire ideology is based around abusing them, it’s like a class version of their fears of white genocide

beans share if you agree

oh no

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

god dammit gemma whelan

i'm gonna be very disappointed if the series finale of SNW isn't a slightly absurd shot-for-shot remake of The Cage

fucks me up that people are getting awards for a movie about hind rajab and her mother is still online begging for aid

so we're calling this moon Gagorndon Core right

finally watching Erica Makes A Friend

Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...

piece of cake. ram scoop. arva nodes.

Trotting this out again.

The largest wildfire burning in the state of Washington is still alive today thanks to brave federal U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents who arrested firefighters caught in the act of attempting to kill it.

Zines are not a Crime! Free Des Revol! from @free.des.revol on insta archive.org/details/free... For almost eight weeks, Des Revol has been held behind bars in a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas. He’s also on an ICE hold. His alleged crime? Zines. >

IT FINALLY HAPPENED @reforest-kelley.bsky.social, usually when someone compliments my bajorestine pin i say "thanks! do you know what the other flag is?" and invariably they do not (tho many love it once i tell them) but tonight at karaoke azim said "bajor, right?"

This is also why Trump’s claimed desire to “fight antisemitism” cannot be separated from his use of antisemitic stereotypes & conspiracies and his regular declarations that Jews who disagree with him politically are not ‘really’ Jewish.

Right-wing rants blaming Soros as the “puppet master” behind BLM protests, anti-ICE protests, pro-Palestine protests, etc. are all just slightly updated versions of anti-Black antisemitic Civil Rights-era rhetoric about “outside agitators” & Red Scare-era Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracy theories.

bleak: The Federal Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday suspended around 30 employees after those workers wrote to Congress warning that the Trump administration had gutted the nation’s ability to handle hurricanes, floods and other extreme weather disasters. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/c...

@prisonculture.bsky.social Good morning. Think you’ll appreciate this essay from Octavia E. Butler’s former teenage neighbor. www.publicbooks.org/my-neighbor-...

⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️Again and again and again, I’m being reached out my people asking if the following account is my Bluesky. Not it is not. It is a scam asking people for money. Please do not interact with them. Please all of you do me a favor and share this.

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

“It was early morning on April 1 when Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar, got a panicked message from his son. Halimi’s name had just appeared in a viral post on X, shared by none other than the site’s owner and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk…”

This motherfucker

I'm in a very blue county in a solid blue state and some local(ish) cop gave ICE all his logins for running plates and stuff. It's happening here too.

Exactly a decade ago, teaching at Riker's, young people there spoke about how their posts on FB led to their arrests and convictions. A few years later the sordid surveillance details came out <https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/08/new-york-police-tracking-voyager-labs-meta-contract>

RFK Jr. knows the consequences of his rhetoric. “Mr. Kennedy has previously called the C.D.C. a “cesspool of corruption,” and a fascist enterprise. He accused C.D.C. employees of covering up vaccine harms to children, comparing it to the Catholic Church’s coverup of child sex abuse.” Gift link.

For ARTnews, I looked into the four artworks by Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Diane Arbus now being auctioned online by the US government with connections to the 1MDB scandal. Three were gifted to Leonardo DiCaprio by Jho Low and one was forfeited by a producer of THE WOLF OF WALL STREET.

Philz Coffee is evidently selling out to private equity and telling all the employees who own common stock to fuck off and get nothing missionlocal.org/2025/07/phil...

This is devastating. 😔 www.msnbc.com/know-your-va...

I have many thoughts about this but I'll leave it at this: the commitment to bigotry among leading atheists is functionally indistinguishable from the Christian Nationalist commitment because they support the same politics

Sorry why use a enough of electricity and water for a town for this when human men can do it for free?

is egg punk coachella over yet

men will go to such amazing lengths to try to take a woman down a peg lmao. sifting through my photos and the best you could come up with is "malnourished" lmao. i know it's rough when we are so unassailably hot and smart but at least go with four eyes or something funny.

Guilherme Lemes Cardoso E Silva, an artist known for painting murals across the Bay Area, was taken into custody by ICE agents. His wife is now pleading for his release before their baby is born.

Sometime, very soon, ALL non-MAGA Americans are going to have to find the courage of this woman. Not only for immigration.

Sometimes the art that's allegedly trying to be political is so cold and so moneyed that it makes you hate the museum, the art, all art, all museums, the whole experience of going to a museum, if this is the point of the art then it's successful but it's never the point.

ICE used the Canary Mission blacklist to target student protesters. A secret “Tiger Team” created over 100 reports on names pulled from the site — confirming what Palestinians have warned for years: Canary Mission isn’t just surveillance. It’s state repression. Via @premthakk
