I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

this october heatwave is merely a flailing attempt by Them to keep me from living the beret lifestyle for a third straight fall

Imagine living in a society where a mass shooting at a church followed by a fire is in the news and its glossed over. That'd be bonkers.

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

This is good! It got me all hyped up about thinking!!

I don't expect this to go anywhere, but it's good to see some friction between local law enforcement and ICE. Local governments should push back in every way possible.

I shouldn't have to go to work tomorrow because I'm reading a really good book

Dude I’m sorry but this is not something you should be able to professionally survive if your job is predicting election results. This is like if a basketball player put the basketball under their jersey and pretended to be pregnant instead of passing and shooting.

this, to me, is art

I want #WNBA fans to enhance their appearance with “Everyone Hates WNBA Refs” t-shirts. In this and all things they should make themselves attractive by being in solidarity with Palestine, which is appropriate for those who claim to honor The Point God. -Instructions to the faithful in 1 Timothy 2:8

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

my dad loves watching games with me btw

ok it would be gorgeous to watch DB beat the fever though

Ramzi sent me photos of his family in their tent safely and having a sinple meal. Thanks to everyone who helped him escape Northern Gaza. Here’s to more of those meals, if you can help. chuffed.org/project/1319...

if you’re struggling with impostor syndrome just think of our poor friends the WNBA refs, who forged their vision tests, who still print out pages of Mapquest directions to hold in front of their steering wheels, and who (i assume) hit every curb, pedestrian, and parked car on the way to the game

thinking about how now that I'm five years older my body is gonna be way less resilient about getting thrown down the stairs by federal agents

If there's someone doing work out there on the fringes that matters to you, please let them know, because this world is going to tell them the opposite every day.

"I believe in living. I believe in birth. I believe in the sweat of love and in the fire of truth. And i believe that a lost ship, steered by tired, seasick sailors, can still be guided home to port.” ― Assata Shakur

Trying to phrase as delicately as possible to abide by TOS and cover my ass: Nullifying the plain text of the Constitution as explicitly meant by those that penned it for the purpose of voiding a right to citizenship crosses a threshold that cannot be uncrossed and I hope even this SCOTUS sees that.

if you ever do this for YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE and send me a screenshot you will get the lovingest love letter of my gratitude

remember when lonely men used to write novels about loneliness

A sniper opened fire on immigrants at an ICE facility in Dallas, killing at least two detainees. So far not a single flag has been ordered at half mast for the victims. Unclear if any of them had a podcast.

These are trying, exhausting times but every day we have to fight BS whatever way we can to undo as much of this harm as possible. Glad this man is out.

I will not link to it. I just want to reiterate that thousands of books have been banned by the right. And American Dirt sold millions of copies.

referring to human beings as “illegals” is not conducive to coherence in journalism nor politic so let’s start there

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Please don’t stop the conversations about the different ways to access your favorite media and which media you can simply do without. Our dollars can be powerful but I promise you our habits our even more so.

Pare down your life and be ready to make dramatic changes

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

Importantly, I don’t want to “cancel“ Ezra Klein I want him to voluntarily shut the fuck up while he works on being less incompetent

Go to protests Sign up to be on mailing lists Practice good operational security Don’t volunteer information you don’t need to, like where you plan to be Know your phone gives away information even when locked Don’t use face unlock or print to unlock your phone

Klein isn't a collaborator. He's a saboteur.

getting fired from our jobs for not tearfully calling Charlie Kirk a brave and special boy < getting fired from our jobs for pointing out that Sophie Cunningham’s hair extensions look like shit and that’s because even the cheapest bleach-blonde dye can always sense when someone’s soul is ugly

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.
