Bollards save lives. End of story. #WorldBollardAssociation

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

“Sorry y’all got cut but I’m still good over here. Be blessed” lol

I feel this so much some days

From a tiny watermelon to 523 pounds of tapir, Ume the Malayan tapir is officially ONE! 🎉 What began as a 24-pound bundle of squeaks and spots has grown into a curious, confident tapir, stealing hearts every step of the way. 💗 Happy first birthday, Ume! We love you! ❤️

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

Damn, the Royal Rumble arena is freaking empty.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

Sometimes it's the little things that make it clear what pieces of shit our current admin is

Wow, the White House is so shaken by the turn in the public mood that they thought Chuck Schumer might actually rise up and "seize this moment" to get meaningful concessions. That's how panicked they are. They thought Chuck Schumer would do something.

In space, you can’t dry a wet towel simply by squeezing it. Without the normal role of gravity, the water just stays where it is. #astronomy #space

Think about how crazy "warrant for arrest" is as a negotiating point. That is supposed to be guaranteed by the hundreds of years of courts' interpretation of the constitutional freedoms already.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY MEDIA: I think when pro sports teams are holding memorials for the people the administration has declared terrorists, it’s safe to drop the “accounts differ” pretense and move on to “the administration attempts to smear the man it murdered”

GO SEAHAWKS!!!

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Only those who you drape themselves in the flag and pay for entry will be safe from ICE brutality and potential execution at World Cup Fan Fests. And don’t forget to buy the Dasani at the Coca-Cola concession stands. By: Alexi Lalas

To be clear: First of all, no. The obligation of protesters in the street--whether mere observers or the civilly disobedient--is in no way EQUAL to the obligation of a masked, poorly trained, unaccountable, armed federal force rolling through American streets at the behest of an authoritarian.>

I hate the Broncos, and that spot was bullshit

Think about how although Pretti was a gunowner, when he saw someone being attacked his first response wasn't to use the gun but to help them up and ask them if they're ok. It wasn't even on his mind that a gun would be useful. Compare that to the paranoia of rightwing gun culture.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

to quote someone i hold to be genuinely one of the most caring, compassionate, and intelligent people i know: those who fight clean die in the ambulance

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

a smart evil person would have thrown that ICE agent under the bus so fast it made us dizzy, just absolutely One Bad Appled him across the country to soothe the anxious white folks. instead they got on TV and pointed to a video of him not getting run over and said "omg look at him getting run over"

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Last week "abolish ice" was the moderate position I'd say the moderate position today is probably Nuremberg

DC friends: Orange line train is on fire at McPherson square station. Avoid if you can

Oh no, ICE treating your cops like you treat residents.... the fucking horror!

he's a fucking nutter. It's like watching someone smear shit on the walls and everyone around him is praising him as the next Van Gogh. Absolutely deranged

Welp! Looks like NFL desperately wants Seattle/LA

Well that's one hell of a way to start a game. Rashid Shaheed 95 yard kick return touchdown despite a pretty dirty trip attempt by the kicker. Seahawks lead 7-0.

I personally don’t think it is the right time for language and tone policing when the federal govt is on tv every day laughing about how its armed secret police force can go “door to door” in your community and that you deserve to get your head blown off if you get in its way, all while the…

When the racist meme becomes national policy

The only things that seems to offer any protection, or at least compel a moment of pause, from these armed paramilitaries is the presence of a large number of white citizen allies whistling and observing and making their job as annoying as possible.

wooof having watched that presser just now, "don't take the bait" is a real shit thing to tell people who are, by all knowledge and information and evidence, acting in defense of themselves and their neighbors and their communities

maybe the 6 month old they tear gassed was driving right at them, maybe think about that before you pass judgement

They're just this dumb, guys. It's not donors. It's not consultants. Dem leadership truly believes deep in their hearts that cops are good when they have liberal oversight.

Bring on the Niners!

The elephant in the room is that mayors and governors across the country have very good reason to question the loyalty and allegiances of the state and local police forces and that’s one of the impediments to doing anything about the current occupations

One of the reasons I push back as hard as I do on "cities are scary" nonsense is that I do not accept the view that we should treat unfounded fears as legitimate, and we have too long indulged the unfounded, racist fears of conservatives. And that in turn is leading to a moment...

Alert: Police/MPD checkpoint on New York Ave NE and Fenwick at approximately 9:10pm, 1/9/26. Avoid the area if possible. Alerta: Retén de policía/MPD en la avenida New York Ave NE y Fenwick a las 9:10pm, 1/9/2026. Evite el área si es posible.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.
