This is not ACTUALLY true on paper. HSI has charged voter fraud, & CISA (part of DHS) does have a role in election security -- remember Trump fired Chris Krebs for declaring the 2020 election sound. Not excusing the presser. But it's important to know WHAT TOOLS Noem might use to steal election.

Someone else decided this was good enough to sell prints of without my consent, so if you're interested in prints - I just put this up on my inprnt www.inprnt.com/gallery/skul...

Saying Sorry (Part 1/4) - Gator Days

Can’t share IG here & Tiktok censored their lyrics, so I am sharing it like this. But @subradioband.bsky.social is amazing. I love this so much.

Hi everyone, switching gears for a personal request: my friend's cousin has been detained while trying to check in at an immigration office in Wisconsin, and is now at risk of deportation. If anyone has links to immigration resources in Green Bay or Milwaukee, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

This guy knows his stuff! If you're looking to help, have a look! (And maybe give him a follow, he's an independent journalist who tracks extremist groups!)

Stanford CS researchers just got a huge payday for promising AI agents that can simulate the real world. @mjcrockett.bsky.social and I wrote about these researcher's vision. Screen shotting quite a lengthy part of our paper, because we spent A LOT of time thinking about the paucity of this promise

civil society and right groups orgs that often keep a tab on and organise campaigns against these evil corporations are overstretched and underfunded. this internal memo from Meta is insidious and sickening

South Africa has yielded the oldest direct evidence of poisoned hunting weapons. The find pushes poison-based hunting deep into the Pleistocene and reveals sophisticated chemical knowledge, planning and tool use far earlier than previously documented. Ars Technica buff.ly/3ySienA #ShareGoodNewsToo

My lovely friend Neil is an amazing jeweller and just an awesome human being. He's doing a marvellous giveaway for Valentine's Day . My favourite are the D20 earrings😊 (Neil plays in our weekly Pathfinder (D&D) game and is a kickass monk who punches things mightily!)

Someone described it to me like having the nuclear arms race but with 4 private companies and zero government oversight.

I don’t feel like politicians get to do any victory lap. They aren’t why these fucksticks are leaving.

everyone shut UP it's gromit's birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY GROMIT

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

It’s not the coke for me. It’s the doing it off a toilet seat. Like damn bitch dont nobody love you?

babygirl had another gastroenterologist appointment and she had a significant improvement 🥹 we still need to take care of her liver cause it has some extra fat in it tho. this is her prescription, if you guys could help us with ANY value i would be so thankful our kofi is ko-fi.com/deborahalves...

This is really important to me. So many Minnesotans have been activated by this experience. We've been a very politically engaged place, but I think we're about to see actual civic activity go off the charts. We (the local politics sickos) need to bring people in with grace.

This video of lion dance as line dance is delightful (from Edmonton, of course). Happy (almost) Lunar New Year!

The Weather Girls would have you believe that if it started raining men it would be really sexy and fun, but I can't think of anything more horrifying or, frankly, mood-killing.

Look, there’s no reason for these things; just have an aide drop by Goodwill and pick up ten golf trophies a week. Give him one every time he has a tantrum

"Andrew Paul Johnson, the pardoned rioter, attempted to bribe one victim with money he claimed he would receive as part of restitution for Jan. 6 defendants, police reported." Holy...

Very excited about this new @knightcolumbia.org project, both because it gives us the chance to look beyond the current democratic crisis and because so many super people have already agreed to participate. knightcolumbia.org/content/new-...

Oh crap. That really ain't good.

I’ve never felt unsafe in this bougie neighborhood a day in my life. This is a 25 mph zone, full of fancy bars and restaurants, a curling club, salons, boutiques, and one of the busiest coffee shops around. They are doing their damndest to wreck everything here.

If you are an MLS sicko, this will be essential reading.

The thing that gets me is, technocrats don't seem to have a plan for what all of us newly-unemployed peons will do with ourselves. The fact that the implementation of this technology is not being paired with discussions of UBI—or what the proles will do with all this free time and energy—is telling.

"Ruin" a film by changing one letter: The Lost Jedi

I know this song is very obviously about British politics, but it's really energizing me in the midst of everything that's happening in the US right now.

What? No, there's no reason I'm posting this today. Why do you ask?

Just had a random pre-falling-asleep thought...has anyone ever made flags for the different character ships? Sorta like pride flags, how there's a trans flag and an ace flag and so on...has anyone ever designed flags for Gentlebeard, Garlic Soup, Steddyhands, LuPete, Room People, etc.? #OFMD

I would also guess that the increasing awareness of autism in women and girls is also a key factor to this. More people are aware of how autism presents in women and girls compared to when I was misdiagnosed as neurotypical as a child. It used to be so stigmatised and that was just for boys.
