One of the many reasons I no longer use an iPhone. Fuck this guy and his fascist ass-kissing.

Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

When you see this guy’s profession you’re about to become twice as concerned as you are right now.

Hey y’all remember on Jan 6th when women got on Tinder in DC and honeypotted all those rioters and sent a good clutch of ‘em to jail based on shit they admitted to in the DMs? Look I’m just saying they got Tinder in MN.

Why aReN’t ThEy AfRaId Of Us? I specifically requested they be afraid of us!!!

Bezos could cover the WaPo current annual loses each year with just a portion of the interest earned on just his liquid assets. Destroying the paper is a choice not a financial necessity.

Just so sad. Bezos is a guy who saw the market opportunity in accountability last Trump administration, during which the paper thrived and excelled, but whose own priorities have clearly changed.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

There was a time I would have flown into a rage if you suggested I use anything but WordPerfect as a word processor.

I enjoyed Honey Don't. But I feel like it would have been better served if it'd been written as a book, not a script. The characters are begging for it.

I got all of my writing for work done early today, leaving room for writing that is not for work.

This is the least alone I've felt in weeks.

Just learned this courageous 70-year-old ally owns an independent bookstore, DreamHaven Books. I don’t know about you, but there are a few books I’ve been meaning to buy, and this seems like a great place to buy them from today: #BookSky dreamhavenbooks.com

There is something in this world that we are lacking right now, it’s called empathy. f**k ice and f**k this government. Here are some amazing BIPOC and queer voices that I read to feel empathy for other human beings. It’s not hard, just love others like you want to be loved. Isn’t that in the Bible?

Walz's sign language interpreter is fucking HERE for it.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Maybe go ahead and take it as a sign that you might be rooting for the baddies.

Heyo, Chicago pals: Quick note that the executive vice president of the Bob Loquercio Auto Group is vociferously defending the murder of Alex Pretti. The auto group has 16 locations in and around Chicago, listed below. Please take your business elsewhere. www.blautogroup.com/locations/in...

As dangerously cold temperatures move through New York, we have opened 10 warming centers across all five boroughs to provide safe, heated indoor spaces for New Yorkers in need. Centers will be open through at least Monday evening at the following locations —>

There is no “immigration crisis,” there is only a fascism crisis.

This video came closer to triggering my family’s Holocaust trauma than anything I can remember

I wonder how well Rage Against the Machine albums are selling these days.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Few things feel worse than trying to help someone and then catching them in a lie about their situation.

You: It can’t happen to me. The state: we looked into this white guy we killed and we do feel a need to bring up these parking tickets

I am floored. Thank you.

In chintz news, there's a chandelier that hangs above the bed in this holiday cottage. Someone's beefy arse shattered it into pieces this morning. And all I could note in gay dismay was the entire thing is plastic.

Board of Peace - Season 1

Democracy isn’t restored by good intentions defeating bad ones. Historically it returns when new binding institutions emerge that can again convert truth into constraint and participation into legitimacy

Holy shit it worked this time.

“But what about free speech!” IF YOU LET NAZIS NAZI DEBBIE THEY END FREE SPEECH YOU FUCKING NIPPLE.

Gut the Metro section because you’re a “national newspaper” and then gut your policy expertise on your Editorial Board (despite <<gestures at the Capitol>> and that being the entry card to for being “national newspaper”) and then gut your national sports coverage (the Olympics) because…

Christ.

There aren't any penguins in Greenland, but there are other animals.

Solidarity with Minnesota. An attack on one is an attack on all. #ICEOUT

How many more lists am I on because of the shit that I scribble for work? How hard will I get fisted if I ever cross the U.S. border again? Absolutely worth fucking around and finding out.

Will this be the weekend I manage to get all of my 12k song library transferred to my Android handset from my Mac? I have fasted and the runes are favourable.

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

I'd like to be able to track the moment when my thinking changed from "what do I need to do today," to "What can I handle today?"

Wasn't this a Lewis Black bit, 20 years back?
