Me when trans women and Palestinian activists are angry at me: I know how to calm this down. I'll call them Gamergaters.

I've had zero training and I know this is wrong.

We can’t be complicit in the injustices Ruaa is suffering She asks us to not forget her family Amplify for her Contribute as you can A weekly or monthly pledge is the goal, if you can, no matter how small chuffed.org/project/help...

#sotd was “Oyster!” from Poesie. This scent is like the platonic ideal of the body wash you’d find in a beachside cottage in the Florida keys. The ones with shell decor everywhere, big soft fluffy towels, and crushed shell driveway with some bougainvillea outside the windows.

Your worth is not determined by your health. Your worth is not determined by your job, marital status or economic output. Everyone is deserving of shelter, food, healthcare and social supports. No one should have to “earn them”. When basic needs are met, society is better off.

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

I wonder what kind of aroma chemicals make up its scent.

I’ve had a bad head cold this past week and despite being stuffed up I’m also hyper sensitive to scents, even my hand cream makes my nose burn😭

7 Democrats funded this and leadership still hasn't come out and said abolish ICE. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-making...

Fuck yeah! Love and solidarity to every Minnesotan showing up every way they can to stop ICE from terrorizing their communities.

The whistles are fantastic. That tactic - and a TON of the whistles - came from a group of organizers & activists in Rogers Park, Chicago, where Bovino and his goobermensch were before coming here. This is a global resistance.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

Filming ICE is legal, but it exposes you to digital tracking. Nicole Bennett at Indiana State University offers some tips to minimize the risk.

So, I grew up in a very fringe Catholic sect, and one of the things harped on about was the “three days of darkness” during which demons would pretend to be friends or neighbors in need, tricking you to come out. Don’t believe that as an adult but this is as close to it as it gets. Fucking demons

MINNEAPOLIS ALERT: ICE IS SENDING FLIERS OFFERING FOOD SUPPORT IT IS NOT THE MINNEAPOLIS VOLUNTEERS IT IS A TRAP

ICE getting harassed in the public bathroom instead of trans people

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

"Liam’s teacher, Ella Sullivan, teared up when thinking about Liam. 'He’s a bright young student,' she said, 'and he’s so kind and loving. His classmates miss him.'" www.startribune.com/preschooler-...

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations ⤵️

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California. So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

working class: white guys who won boat dealerships elites: trans baristas with student loans

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

I hate the Nazgûl’s treatment of the hobbits as much as you do but the security of Middle Earth is critical in this age. I believe we can strike a balance between the rights of Shire residents and black land border enforcement with proper training and funding.

AFAB is short for Assigned Fishguy At Birth

Gently: I think the sweet little leftist fiction that right-wing politics are the result of epistemic gaps---that you can just newsletter and educate and evangelize your way to leftism---is dead. Consider: many people want to hurt others. Want to feel superior. Want to inflict pain on the lesser.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

“I'm trying to survive this very long SSI battle process. But I just can't do it alone! Please help me stay housed and able to afford my medications until this process is concluded”

I monitored Nazi terror Telegram channels from 2019 to 2022 or so and it's hard to overstate the degree to which DHS's X account mimics the tone, aesthetic, voice, and language of those cess pits. Whoever is running socials for them has obviously spent a lot of time in that space.

#sotd was “Snake Oil” from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs. Finally decided to try some samples after all these years. BPAL’s massive catalogue, limited edition collections, and cult following had intimidated me. Snake Oil is a popular scent and I can see why, it’s got a nice sweet-incense-spice balance.

Caring for betta fishes can be a mindfuck, because tell me why so many of us are creating 10 gallon heated tanks filled with plants, cycling months before we put our fishes in, and then they die at like SIX MONTHS but Jimbob will chime in about his vase betta that lived for seven years

A weekly or monthly $5 commitment will make a big difference for Ruaa and her family Amplify widely friends, as you know she is being deliberately silenced chuffed.org/project/help...

Some folks keep suggesting the protests in Iran are organized by the US or Isra3l, and that is so deeply insulting to the millions of Iranians who have been fighting the Islamic Republic for decades. They don’t need foreign entities to motivate them any more than people in Minnesota do rn, and +

that so many are thinking "how do we differentiate ourselves from the people who saw this coming" is not a good sign people learned anything lol

I don’t know how else to tell you that your life literally doesn’t matter to these people, and they do not want to make America healthy

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

This is what I meant when I wrote that "we can overthrow them with a union of care."

"Thousands of largely female workers engaged in a successful walkout, standing firm against mill owners, militia, and police. Meetings were translated into nearly 30 languages." -- Robert Forrant on Lawrence, Mass. Bread & Roses Strike, began #tdih 1912 ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/br...

While this message is about big polluters, it still holds true for everything happening in the US right now. We’ve got to solve this crisis, and it won’t happen if we give up now. Use your fear and anger for action instead of apathy!

Today’s #SOTD was 2 AM in Lafayette from Sorce because I wanted something cozy and that seemed to fit the bill and my child told me multiple times that I smelled good. I may need to get a full size when I run out of this sample.

I am NOT okay and I’ve been feeling sick with anxiety for weeks now but I’ve been trying to ground myself with books and seed catalogues and perfume.

What this administration is doing is accelerating and building on what already existed. This is disorienting, I know. We have to do what we can to protect each other locally while we also seriously address the foundational issues. This country has to disempower policing. I hope people understand now
