When I was little my parents would send me to bed and then go watch Star Trek: TNG. Id stand at the bottom stair and peek around the door frame like this to watch too. #XMen #StarTrek

Braver than all of dhs combined

I stand in solidarity with my incredible friends in this video. I stand in solidarity with our immigrant community. Those in Minnesota need our help right now. The link to support the immigrant defense fund is here: secure.ngpvan.com/dXnA9Ttt_0yK...

This picture perfectly encapsulates this administrations willful ignorance and disdain for anything slightly resembling human decency.

Want to help out Texas? Head to joseloya.com and toss in $5 for Mr Loya's campaign. He's a hell of a lot more Texan and more American than the dipshits in Austin now.

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

Not too long ago if someone like this tried to get someone like me in the back of a car or van the advice from my GOP family members was to go for the eyes and/ or nuts. Now it's "comply or die" I miss the old ways

we need every grain of sand in the gears. every single one.

I voted, but man was I angry about it The Dem platform of "wouldn't it be nicer to drown in refreshing lemonade than stale piss?" had been a failing strategy in two of the past three presidential elections

Keep up the pressure y'all

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

Keep up the pressure!

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit. They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

New #StarTrek has arrived! Here's my episode poster for the series premiere of #StarfleetAcademy: "Kids These Days".

ICE detention centers are rapidly becoming extermination camps. Yet another layer of depravity from this truly evil government.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Do not forget to neglect the stranger in your land, for by doing so, some have detained angels (with apologies to Hebrews 13:2)

There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

Cannot stress enough that you can just do stuff. You don't need permission. You can just do stuff because it needs to be done by someone.

something worth noting is that CS gas ain't really gas but vapor, meaning it's a cloud of fine particles. those particles range from the sub-micron size upwards to 100 microns, but the particles need to be at least 5 microns for maximum irritation.

We must all have ways to hold, release, some of the devastation and fury in these times of terror and rage. When we do, we may have more capacity for useful action. Because we must take action. But we must have capacity. Some words, and some resources:

been thinking a lot about James Baldwin recently - from a 1970 documentary

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It's worth reminding each other every couple days that every delay you create, every horrible opportunity you deter means someone gets home to their family, might even mean someones actual life is saved. All of it is worth it.

Brrrrrr Despite otherwise Blueskies, ICY conditions have been spotted. Fun Fact: before modern refrigerators were common, ICE was delivered to homes in Blocks. Today, Block deliveries are as easy as pushing a button. Try it out!

It was hard to get through this. I’m angry. It’s been a senseless week.

Tomorrow, it’ll be 10 years without Bowie.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

I'd be crying (happy) so hard if Mandy Patankin said things like that to me. Hell, I'm kinda tearing up hearing him say them to Zohran

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

I (belatedly) thought I’d inquire about this. Anybody want to assist me in Getting The Hell Out Of Dodge at #Christmas? https://www.tumblr.com/dduane/802500831283953664/ill-be-home-for-christmas-unless-theres-a
