just re-watched V for Vendetta on the plane and I couldn't help but reimagine that final scene with all those people wearing inflatable frog costumes rather than Guy Fawkes masks

New baseball rule: after the 14th inning, no gloves.

Every ICE Agent is the worst person alive

When will my husband return from the Mariner’s game

Every A.I. CEO is like “We invented a robot that can fuck your wife so you have more free time to mow the lawn!”

(unsecured roof tent flying by my head) tactical gear is my passion

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

A really striking thing about the US is how it feels like everyone is constantly trying to rip you off. You have to hold constant vigilance against scam. Absolutely corrosive to social trust and a core part of our current political problems.

I know this case is all over - & it should be - but Turning Point USA has waged a harassment campaign against faculty for more than a decade. I know of at least a half dozen other faculty, personally, who have received death threats and several of those who felt so unsafe they too left their homes

Cooked as a country when art can’t be made because we have to take into account the fee-fees of Klan members.

I just realized that the Portland Antifascist Frog has singlehandedly reclaimed amphibians from the “alt right”. Yet another way he is a Great American.

FROGS TOGETHER STRONG is fucking incredible

LMAOOOOO A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

#OtD 10 Oct 1937 fascist leader Oswald Mosley was knocked unconscious and hospitalised in Liverpool by a stone thrown by anti-fascists who attacked a Nazi meeting at which he had attempted to address the crowd stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8245...

Our plane to Spain is in the air! 🙌🙌 Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

The Trump administration is governing like an organized criminal enterprise where the law does not apply. That’s because there’s effectively no check on it. Congress is controlled by the GOP. The Senate is controlled by the GOP. The Supreme Court is controlled by the GOP. And they’re all loyal.

About a quarter of FBI agents are assigned to immigration enforcement, with the number climbing to upward of 40% in the largest FBI field offices, according to The Washington Post. Agents have been pulled from investigations into cybercrime, drug trafficking, terrorism, counterintelligence and more.

No incarnation of any political party at any time in any country on earth has ever spent so much time thinking about children’s genitals.

Taps the sign

tory edition

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Homophobia is declining globally

I teach in my undergrad class on the history of the US jury system that the institution's roots are in colonial juries serving as a counterweight to abuses of imperial power. The American jury has problems for sure but still can serve that roll. Don't blow off jury service.

ARE YOU HABEAS CORPUS?

It’s a whole administration of dweebs who just want to play dress-up and ride in the big trucks and they gotta make it everyone else’s problem. He’s the middle-aged man who won’t stop talking about his high school football stats then he made his rich daddy buy a team so he can suit up for practices.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

highland cattle have it figured out

i love this website actually

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

i bet priests baptize each other for fun sometimes. have a little splash fight

CNN: Trump says violence on streets of Portland is rising.

Dinosaurs got bone cancer, which means we can study TUMOR FOSSILS. I've since read about some other dinos species with evidence of tumors, but I still suspect there was something about hadrosaurs that made them prone to it.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

this is the jacket's breast pocket lining pulled up to make it look like a pocket square

Fact-check: Most of the goons in Trump's deportation army aren't even ICE agents. Only about 13% of the personnel carrying out Trump’s deportation agenda are employed by ICE’s primary deportation unit; the rest are pulled from other jobs. Check out the full report: tinyurl.com/yvavwh4f

Listening to Open Mike Eagle run down Pitchfork's list of top 100 rap albums and complain that he's not on it is a joy. A joy.

We lost a real one.

Portland never stops being Portland.

Let’s call this what it is: greed. We don’t have to accept an economy where the top 10% can buy a second yacht while working families live paycheck-to-paycheck. A union contract is how we level the playing field and get our fair share.

Ever wonder how fascism spreads? Like this:

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

If this happens, those NG will be pulled from their civilian jobs—many without pay—to ALSO not be paid during the shutdown. They are going to starve these soldiers’ families to make sizzle reels on Twitter.

New posters

today is Snoopy's 75th anniversary 🥲

It was a perversion of the US military and all it used to stand for.
