Trump's now crowing about his first year accomplishments. www.c-span.org/event/white-...

Happy New Year, everyone! This is a @theguardian.com books cartoon from a few years ago.

Republicans in Congress: you can stop it all anytime. Any. Time.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

If Ian Fleming had written a James Bond novel, where the evil, psychotic baddie had a plan to destroy the world to cover up the evidence that he is a pedophile, no one would have given him any credit or even read the book, citing it too far fetched. #jamesbond

Minneapolis volunteers❣️ “It is safe to say more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch. 3,000 ICE agents, 2,400 arrests, less than arrest 1 per agent. It takes 6-12 agents to make 1 arrest with ICE Watch volunteers, versus (Los Angeles), where ICE groups are 2-3 agents.”

MLK Day raids so far.

A new year cartoon for @theguardian.com books

This is a really important story, and one that explains the place of the Hmong community in the Twin Cities and why this entire occupation is really just ethnic cleansing (my words). Also, props to Marisa for doing the work to get this story right when so many out-of-town journalists have failed.

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com

These Charmin ads are getting out of hand

I’m howling.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Federal immigration agents using aggressive tactics on journalists and protesters in Minneapolis raise concerns about government training, substandard law enforcement practices, and, you know—cops killing more people apnews.com/article/minn...

Today, Minneapolis had their annual Powderhorn Art Sled Rally. A community organized event that this time featured de-Icer sleds and bowling pins named for world leaders. A very Minnesotan way to protest ICE. 😍🙌🏻

This is an extract of the speech made by Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, at a vigil for Renee Good. It is extraordinary, and you should read the whole thing: www.nhepiscopal.org/blog

“We are now entering a new era of martyrdom.” ~ Bishop Rob Hirschfeld Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire Many of us have seen the shorter clip that is circulating on here, but his speech is worth watching in full: www.tiktok.com/t/ZThYtqfq9/

"I've asked them to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written," Bishop Rob Hirschfeld said, "because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable." ✊️🇺🇸

In life David Lynch was known widely for being the absolute king of weird beard arthouse filmmakers. In death, he is known mostly for his kindness, work ethic, and just being an all around rad person that made films HIS way. And I absolutely love that. What a legacy. Rest in peace, king.

California will offer free entry to state parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Sometimes I haven't checked Bsky for a few hours and before I see any actual news, I see a post from Billy Shakes that just makes me go "oh ffs what now??"

Powerful video. Series of protesters holding coordinated signs that say This Is Fascism with each listing one element. Each protester/sign is revealed one-by-one as person filming walks the sidewalk. The list is looooong:

in case there was any doubt about why it says "We don't dial 911" on the house.

NPR just referred to the Trump regime’s “willingness to push the boundaries of the law.” Trump keeps breaking laws, and the media keep saying he’s *almost* breaking laws.

Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit. Next article you can talk about how the vice president, by contrast, is in nazi groupchats with minors

Today's Irish hero is @niallstanage.bsky.social 😎👏 The pride of Belfast and beyond. Showing journalists how it's done 😉

Crackdown. My @smh @theage cartoon.

"This is a collective state issue that impacts all of us, urban and rural immigrants and native born, Black, Brown, white, and Indigenous. No community asked for this harm. No family wanted this pain." www.audacy.com/wccoradio/ne...

This is Peanut. His name isn't Peanut because he's small. It's because he is a lethal threat to a significant portion of the population. Still 13/10 (IG: peanut_tacoterrier)

“It’s not at all surprising that this is happening with these ICE [removal] officers being sent out to basically treat people terribly,” a one-time deputy chief counsel with the agency told me, anticipating more escalation of violence. My latest for @motherjones.com:

Just the fact that now in the United States armed masked men can go up to someone just pumping gas and say "are you a US citizen" should outrage every. single. American.

I'm proud to work with @hannahnatanson.bsky.social every day, and especially today, when I was on the phone with her much earlier than I usually am www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The FBI raided this reporter's home today. Follow her and share her reporting even more widely.

"One day, a woman wrote to me on Signal, asking me not to respond. She lived alone, she messaged, and planned to die that weekend. Before she did, she wanted at least one person to understand: Trump had unraveled the government, and with it, her life." ~ @hannahnatanson.bsky.social Gift link

I'd like to hope darth is hibernating so good right now, unaware of it all
