I'm receiving reports from airports all over the country about ICE sightings. I'll be sharing updates here as I get them. ⬇️

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to put on a tactical vest and go to the newark airport at 6 am on monday. your order is to wander around like a confused oaf. when a mom drops her sandwich at jersey mike's and scares you, pull out your gun and start shooting. good luck soldier

That wasn’t a game, that was a goddamn donnybrook #baonpdx

We don’t have universal healthcare for the same reason that white southerners poured cement into their community swimming pools rather than let their black neighbors swim in them. Racism is ruining ALL of our lives.

The Sewing Bee really is larks though. I’m up to series 6.

Make no mistake, they are coming for contraception. They can't restrict it through the courts (yet), so they'll do it through administrative fuckery. Millions set to lose access to STI screenings and contraception as Title X funding falls through: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

will no one rid me of this turbulent hen portland.craigslist.org/mlt/grd/d/po...

I think my favorite part of this suit is where the guy who was suing because Afroman said he fucked his wife said on the witness stand that he did not know for sure that Afroman did not fuck his wife.

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

you’re goddamn right we do (h/t @ferociousj.bsky.social, cc @ellearmageddon.bsky.social) www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Portland big boom??

Having a hard time believing this ides of March story, you're telling me senators did something other than send out fundraising texts

Drinking my tea, which is half milk and sugar, in bed. I got up and went to the bathroom and came back to a half-empty mug and splashes of tea on the bed next to it. It’s going to be a productive day for Whiskey.

REI also outfitted ICE in Minneapolis this winter, in case you need another reason to stop shopping there. The thousands of feds were easier to spot at first because they very obviously weren't dressed for the cold, and that stood out. Then, they went shopping, and REI was happy to sell to them.

Gretchen Hirsch, GERTIE’S CHARMED SEWING STUDIO, finished 3/9. In-depth discussion of the historical inspirations for some Charm sewing patterns. This could have been a series of blog posts, but the pictures are lovely.

happy international women’s day to all the women and cis women out there! 🥰

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

trying to imagine doing Wellesley, Yale Law, a legal career, eight years in the Senate, a term as Secretary of State, and two presidential campaigns only to sit and listen to gotchas from someone best known for giving a hand job at a musical production of Beetlejuice

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

IT’S OUR TIME. EVERYBODY CELEBRATE THE WEDDING THIS MOMENT CREATED www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJ...

uhhh oh my god

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

For what is apparently the 10,001st post on Skepchick (and my own 3,000th), it's a HAPPY STORY of how scientists have shown that Dolly Parton is substantially improving literacy rates around the world through her Imagination Library 🧪 skepchick.org/2026/02/stud...

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

oh no my alumnae magazine is rage-baiting me personally

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

HOLY COW The Humble Bundle has been extended for another week because they were so pleased with our success so far. Please tell your friends. There's one more chance to help this essential organization. <3 (don't forget to select "adjust donation")

The days are finally long enough for the chickens to start laying again, which means my neighbors and I are treated to two hours a day of Scout screaming because Harry is on the good nest box. Yes there is another nest box, no Scout will not use it.

SO GOOD! "the idea that my political ideology is synonymous with hating technology is confusing. Every leftist I know has a hard-on for high speed rail or mRNA vaccines. But the “left is missing out” blog positions generative AI as the only technology that matters." -- @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

"why are you against progress" I yell confidently as my sloppily-implemented algorithms prematurely murder your grandma

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Pair this with the Icelandic writer pointing out that Iceland produces so much art because their government literally pays them to create. No arts or schools or housing or health care or high-speed rail or even maintaining what we already have, just a boot stamping on the face of America, forever.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Claire North, THE LAST SONG OF PENELOPE, finished 2/14. The conclusion of a nuanced, lyrical trilogy about Penelope, her women, and—occasionally—Odysseus. Brilliant.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as going back on nightly Benadryl has somehow fixed my pathological fucking demand avoidance.

This is sort of like when the FBI was listening to that Louie Louie song in the 60’s to figure out if it was obscene but here they could ask 900 million people what the words are

Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time

No Kings includes Draft Kings

God this is good, even knowing I’m missing half the references.

This years Super Bowl ads are all sponsored by the buy nothing movement

not to be dramatic but the person who came up with abandoned cart emails should be fed feet-first to hungry pigs

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

guys I think we’re gonna win
