This is why a lot of folks view the two parties as functionally the same. When you're being actively abused, you don't really give a shit that the person who's enabling and sometimes assisting with the abuse isn't actually hitting you themselves.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Hive mind, I'd quite like to buy a box full of new music... but on audio cassette. If you can, send me links to publishers, distributors, and performers who are a) indie/small labels b) have cassettes for sale, and c) are fun! And yes, you can pitch yourself in replies or DMs. #C90 #misxtape #retro

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

A paper written to try and create demand for a vaccine & diagnostic test Wakefield would profit from, as well as to get money from suing MMR vaccine makers. A million+ dead because he wanted to line his pockets. Evil doesn't even begin to describe Wakefield.

Hey so....I just opened my pantry and I have no food. So this would be even GREATER of an ask if you could help a slime out with some groceries.

Focus on the larger goals, but never be so focused that you miss out on laughing at a sad nazi.

they seem genuinely incapable of understanding that this isn't directed from the top down, that there isn't some massive silent majority there ready to welcome them, that people actually enjoy having immigrants as friends and neighbors and most of all that fear will not keep the cities in line

okay fellow white people, they're doing this because they believe this will appease us and it can't the only way forward is the dissolving of the agency totally fuck them abolish ice is the ONLY way forward

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.

So when people don't vote for Newsom, or at least don't want to, just remember how he's handling everything at this moment

This is a reminder that "nonviolence" does not mean "nonconfrontational." It does not mean accommodating the feelings of those you protest. It does not mean being ignorable. It means avoiding violence. There is a *vast* country between quiescence and gunfights.

The weirdest grift I've ever covered. Having kept my lips tight while preparing for this, I'm ready to be blocked by AltNPS now. I have a lot of people to thank for making this video possible, including those in #AltGov #AltFam. Specific credits and thanks in 🧵 youtu.be/xTLMQbC4vsE

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

Who can forget such classic Rio Grande games like Taters, Bacon Egg & Cheese Croissants, and my personal fave, Cinnamon French Toast.

Walz just demanded ICE stop killing Americans in the street. Tributes to Petti note he was a citizen & nurse. fine, BUT: Feds should not kill ANYONE in the street. Citizens OR non-citizens. Nurses OR grifters. Married ppl w kids OR jerks w no loved ones. ZERO KILLING PEOPLE IN THE STREET.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

a CEO is a vibes based position who, upon learning that one woman can make a baby in nine months, reasons that 9 women can make a baby in one month but as a cost saving measure only hires 0.7 women for 29 hours a month to avoid having to pay benefits

honestly if you have a republican senator, call them about this funding shit, too, and use the angle of gun rights / 2A if you have to

Update, @nurdrocks.bsky.social is back home. Just to be really fucking clear, I found out about this when I saw a person I respect and admire, who I look up to as a creative and community member, getting held down by five fascists on the fucking front page of reddit. Fuck ICE. Keep speaking up.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”. Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists. Name them, record them, and make it public.

Every day is Shut the Fuck Up Friday when it comes to fedposting

I used to have a bowl of Warheads around for flashbacks and can personally endorse sour candy as a somatic system shakeup to get yourself back in your body and the present.

Great distinction. Observers on the ground are bearing witness so we all know what's happening. Posters obsessing over watching atrocity videos are just self-harming.

Apparently there is another video of ICE murdering someone and so I will remind you, again, that you do not have to watch it in order to confirm the thing everyone already knows: ICE is a lawless group of thugs who are killing people who stand up for basic American rights.

Just so we're clear, and so a tiny handful of wankers online don't create the wrong impression, the vast majority of your European friends are incredibly impressed by Minnesotans' courage against both the ice and ICE.

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

If you have any firsthand video of today’s shooting, please please submit here so the Hennepin County Attorneys Office can review it hennepinprosecutor.evidence.com/axon/communi...

Watching ICE executing people will *NOT* magically keep you from becoming "desensitized" to the horror & will make it more likely to numb your emotional reaction to future tragedies & atrocities. (Ask anyone who's done content moderation) Deliberately traumatizing yourself is counter-productive.

If you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here: “Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”

If you are (understandably) too angry to exercise discretion in what you post then log off for a while.

Hello. I am still waiting for a client to pay me a hefty check that will sustain me for a bit. I have to pay my internet and phone bills (the latter shut off, former about to be) and get dog and human food. If you can help I'll get you back. Thanks and sorry. PP: @StellaSacco CashApp: #$SACC

Not only are they not the cause of any of the world's problems, they are just as importantly not a symptom or sign of a greater problem. They're just people whose existence harms no one.

Also huge shout out to ProtoPasta (who I do not believe is on this website) because they have now shipped stacks of filament to multiple members of our group, completely for free, just to support this cause. 💓 If you're a fan, thank them for being awesome! proto-pasta.com

I've been reminding myself of this so much recently.

unfortunately it appears that things are really complicated and getting the details matters a lot, sometimes more than anything, and also evil is extremely real. sorta the worst of both worlds there.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

I’ve heard about this anecdotally but here’s official confirmation. If, like me, you’ve already submitted a claim, you’ll need to contact the Anthropic claims administrator about amending it to include this declaration

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Do I know any fluent Italian/English bilingual writers who are into translation work? 👀

If anyone could spare some extra so we can have groceries. Our SNAP benefits got reduced, and we could use a little help. www.paypal.me/devyntheauthor #helpsky #mutualaid

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

ping’s in loring park are giving out a whistle, a know your rights card, and a zine on using whistles to alert your community of ICE in 4 languages with their takeout orders, if you’re looking for a family run, chinese restaurant that is supportive of the mission here. take out only pingsmpls.com

This is so, so terrible. Say bye-bye to global emergency cooperation strategies with the US. We've got H5N1, measles, and Covid going hogwild, unprevented, and unsurveilled in the US with its population facing an unprecedented lack of vaccine access and DOA public health comms. Pandemic powder keg.
