Most people won’t believe it when you try to explain it to them.

So the federal intelligence community & department of justice has had this information for how many years? And just been sitting on it? Letting these people wreak havoc on society?

Is there a labeler? List to subscribe to? (Not sure how it works) that blocks new/low-quality accounts piling onto trending hashtags to sell stuff?

Pretty nuts that the Pizzagate conspiracy theorists were mostly right, they just missed the part where all of the pedophiles are conservatives

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

Anyone else playing Tiled Words? Just saw it mentioned yesterday by @gri.gs and I’m really enjoying it! tiledwords.com

Exactly how much white supremacy, public executions, epic corruption, and overall incompetence do Republicans have to condone before Democrats stop running for office based on their ability to “work with them?”

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?

Name a movie you’d rather watch than Melania. Surf Nazis Must Die (1987)

Check out this (free!) talk I’m doing with @segdeha.com in February, hosted by @pdxa11yux.bsky.social !

i'm being flip but when i think about the guys who are gassing preschools and putting children in camps and killing people both on and off camera--complaining about WHISTLES--i understand why dante was like no, we need way more kinds of hell. at least nine

a lot of Democratic officials have asked the protesters to be careful to not "give Trump what he wants" and I think it's fair to ask them to do likewise

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

The "ban whistles" stuff is how you know whistles are working incredibly well

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.

Excited for our February meetup — join us on Tue Feb 17 to learn about making continuous accessibility the default at your organization! Presented by @devonpersing.bsky.social and @segdeha.com: pdxa11yux.org/events/2026/... #PDXa11yUX #a11y #UX #Meetup #Portland #PDX

Looking forward to this!

I'll repeat my ask to Democratic Senators here: don't vote for the DHS funding bill, yes. AND ALSO do not vote for another single thing in the United States Senate until the invasion and occupation of Minnesota ends. Don't vote to name a post office, dedicate a road, or even a procedural motion

Immigration is a net good. It improves the lives of the people who immigrate and the people in the areas the immigrate to. Supporting immigration is both morally and economically sound and a good government would encourage and facilitate it instead of making it as difficult as possible

The People of the great state of Minnesota deserve the Peace Prize, tbh

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

i'm too tired to make the 4-panel meme that ends with "so they're going to prosecute him, right? … right?"

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Tide might be turning. Keep pushing. Keep calling, donating, protesting, all of it. Don’t stop, especially if Trump starts throwing them overboard. Don’t stop until they’re all gone

Note that the headline doesn’t mention shame about they violence they’re inflicting as one of the causes. 😐

saw a video of people throwing obstacles in the way of an armored car and putting their bodies right in front of it. a brave thing to do. good thing they weren't wearing all black, that somehow would have made it wrong.

It’s the organized resistance of Minnesotans — leaning on mutual aid and community support networks they built in 2020 and have maintained since — that stand between us and a national descent into absolute fascism.

I'm sorry but I don't think we'd be in this moment right now if it were not for so many white Americans ignoring or even applauding the violence already exerted on BIPOC for generations. If we don't reckon with that and change structural elements government and law, this won't really end.

heart-rending, yet heartening work from erik

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Tomorrow! Emergency protest in solidarity with Minneapolis and in memory of Alex Pretti, murdered by ICE/CBP! 3pm Salmon Street Springs.

If your attempt to enforce the law requires you to break the law, then laws aren’t really what you’re fighting for.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

The central question of the last decade+ in America is how far are powerful people willing to go to enforce white supremacy in the service of self-enrichment.

Establishing the run against authoritarian rule, as @edsbs.bsky.social says, requires the little things, the acts of resistance and kindness and community that eventually add up to something much larger and transformative. I wrote about it for BadFaithTimes.com. badfaithtimes.com/we-must-esta...

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

All these politicians act like they would've marched with Dr King if only they'd have been alive for the civil rights movement and they refuse to do anything but fundraise while the ICE and CBP fascists terrorize their communities.

I trust that there are some fancy law firms left who are rushing forward to represent her…. Right?

Release the Epstein files.
