With some weather reports showing 1-3 inches of ice in the coming storm, do you think all those masked morons in Minneapolis are jealous? That's like 2.5 inches more than they've got.

If I could do Severance where when you're not at work you cannot think at all about work but while you're working you still remember your non work life I would consider it

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

Hey you with the pro-democracy anti-authoritarianism newsletter that you’re publishing on Substack! Yes you. Move your newsletter to Buttondown, Ghost, or beehiiv. Why are you intentionally publishing your work on a platform that funds Nazi speech? Stop doing that please.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California. This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

Like for every Will Stancil chasing ICE around in his Honda Fit, there are grandmothers delivering groceries or giving vulnerable people rides. But you cannot switch from one to the other, and certainly not in the same car.

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.

Great thread

The World Cup is going to be an absolute disaster. Monumentally awful.

holy shit what

Oh this was a read 😩😭

WaPo's editorial page next week: "If things are so 'Unaffordable' why not let ICE house you?"

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

pepper spraying someone in the face from inches away while they are already restrained on the ground should get you fired and land you in jail, no exceptions

If I ran a European country I'd be taking the NATO agreement, and doing a Find > Replace on "North Atlantic Treaty Organization" and "NATO" to insert something like "The Greatest Treaty Ever Signed" and just show that to him.

Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries. Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood? FUCK ICE forever and ever.

I had posted earlier about how I couldn’t let Talmage be outside alone waiting for his school bus because some goons might fuck with him. This is what everyday Minnesotans are dealing with. Lawless armed, masked goons perpetuating a federal government-led ethnic cleansing.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

Let me become a Democratic whip but with an actual bullwhip. See how many yea votes sneak through then.

Can someone explain to me why my DENTAL INSURANCE comes with a huge number of random (mostly not good or useful) "Discounts" on things like: Disney World tickets Hello Fresh Lenovo Sams Club Turbotax Rocket Mortgage Like...what % of premiums goes to this bullshit?

I don’t think prediction markets actually let you speculate on it happening. There’s one for him leaving office but it appears to pay both sides out if he passes away.

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

One year ago today, I released the ashcan of REALIS, my first TTRPG. Today, we've got a near-complete draft that's 50,000 words longer than the preview that so many of you checked out, with over 100 new pieces of art. Thanks to everyone who checked it out. And get ready for the KS later this year.

If you want to check out the Ashcan: thecalcutec.itch.io/realis If you want to follow the Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru... If you want to see it played, it's the current bonus campaign: www.patreon.com/c/friends_ta... Or check out the Nextlander one shot: youtu.be/4uSoRzmEZEQ

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

these are out of control thugs and every single thing they say is a lie that they are lying should be the default presumption of the press, the courts, and the general public

Oh. My. God. Insanity.

Excited! I'll be directing a campaign of @hellomcdm.bsky.social & @mattcolville.bsky.social's Draw Steel! Our D&D campaign just hit a stop point and we're giving the DM a bit of a break and trying out a new system. And it gives me a chance to really dive in to the glorious limited edition books!

Just for the record, and it’s insane that the mad king made me look this up, there is documentation of the US giving up all claim to Greenland to Denmark when we bought the Virgin Islands from them in 1916. history.state.gov/historicaldo...

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

Sorry Bears fans. That sucks. It's fair to blame @patrickklepek.bsky.social for going to the game despite @robzacny.bsky.social's warning.

close enough

I can't believe Williams made that throw 2 weeks in a row

I’m howling.

@roll20.net Any expectation for site recovery?

With alt-text, cause EVERYONE needs to see this.

That. Again 😂

Suck it Niners

SHAHEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

ICE claims drug investigation, because drugs are usually dropped off by your UPS driver

I just see these smarmy ass thumbnails and the oppositional defiant part of my brain immediately kicks in.

i saved this before Everything Happened and god has it come true

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
