My Lyft driver said his friend, who works at a rental car company, said they're not renewing ICE's fleet contract tomorrow, because they have damaged every. Single. One. Of the rentals.

Here's one from somebody who is actually local, and proceeds from this go to mutual aid efforts in Minneapolis, don't know if the others are raising money for those efforts or just doing a song.

Learn to say "no" to those in power, and mean it.

Everyone should be putting up NO ICE NO CPB NO FEDERAL AGENTS GET A JUDICIAL WARRANT OR STAY OUT signs everywhere.

"guys ICE has terrible PR right now and everyone hates us, it's a huge problem" "I know, let's cause massive disruption at the biggest sporting event of the year"

NIH recently found 1 in 22 ppl who’d had Covid developed ME/CFS. The “mild” form of that disease, as @julialmv.bsky.social’s graph shows, means losing capacity to do 50% of your daily activities. What would you give up? Friends? Time w/your kids? Could you cut work hours in half w/o losing yr job?

This is why it is important to confidently and assertively fight back against transphobic narratives. You don't win over ""moderates"" by ceding the narrative to right wing conspiracies about trans people, you're just letting people drift further and further right.

Good morning

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

Compellingly Strange, and I need more of that.

They broke his rib a week before, and he was back out there protecting his neighbors when they murdered him.

This is such a MAGA-era conservative thing. I'm already in like 3 public databases just for doing legal work right wing idiots don't like.

"The Dark Lord has taken over our land. What do we do?" "Learn from the goblins." "What? Those useless little-" "Takes skill to mask rebellion as incompetence." "What?" "They know His reign will end. For now, they persist and resist." "Oh." "Also: remember every moment of joy is a victory."

Being an enthusiastic walker and living in Devon, UK, means learning to love wet weather becomes a necessity, and I'm normally very much fine with all of that, but this is a bit different.

This is one of those stories where the headline is perfect, any more detail would probably ruin it for me.

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today: 1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice 2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime. 3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too! *Your* right to anonymous web browsing is at risk! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/754408

ME Research UK is delighted to announce that we have awarded funding to Prof. Chris Ponting @cgatist.bsky.social at the University of Edinburgh for a new study investigating the use of blood-based markers to help in the diagnosis of ME/CFS. tinyurl.com/y5bk5w9h #MEcfs #CFS #PwME

I got given some of my aunt’s yarn stash to use up and I would like everyone to appreciate what this colour is called

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

If you think now is the moment for pissing on someone’s chips, for trying to pull down something that gives a little sustaining wonder - you’re a wanker. If you think now is the time for pedantic theorising or backseat lecturing of others on the frontline - sit down and think about your numptytism.

this reminds me of the debate over whether or not george zimmerman was racist based on whether or not he might have uttered the n-word and not based on the fact that he stalked and murdered trayvon martin because he equated black male youth in casual attire with violent criminality

The best way of describing someone who’s all talk and no action that I’ve ever heard in the UK, by far, is “they’re all wardrobe and no Narnia.” * read on for fun ways of saying “all talk and no action” in other languages (a thread)

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

Right wing white dudes finally noticing things a lot of women do for their kids, offices and communities on a daily basis: PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS

That’s a sadness, she made fantastic art that was deeply rooted in her life and community.

I'm really sick of the "we have to be realistic" people who think that being realistic is bargaining with Kristi Noem and Donald Trump about how many people they get to shoot. They've already said their answer is anyone they want, unconstrained by the law.

Obviously this is all serious stuff but “not even Alberta” is absolutely sending me.

This is interesting work, I’m always intrigued by miniatures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdnT...

"As well to be hanged for a sheep as a lamb", as the old, old saying goes.

something else that’s really clear is the extent to which Trump himself is checked out and declining and Miller is running the show Trump used to have some lizard brain sense of optics - not an understanding that things are bad but an understanding that they looked bad that’s completely gone now

the regime considers all resistance violent resistance. you chanting while holding a sign and carefully remaining on the sidewalk is as worthy of the death penalty to them as someone throwing a Molotov.

“Boo hoo” They’re not just killing people, they’re taunting the public they’re terrorizing after they do it. apnews.com/article/immi...

As the son of a man who as a teenager had to hide in an attic to avoid capture by the Nazis: Every word of this thread. Every word. And this is what I would say to them if I were face to face with them right now: Sooner or later, you will all be going to jail for what you're doing.

Since Americans insist on parallels to Nazi-controlled Europe over the American history that inspired the Nazis, now is a good time to remind everyone that Anne Frank didn’t die in the gas chamber or by firing squad. She was kidnapped by the gestapo and died of typhus in a prison camp.

During the massive storms last year I was in the Yellow House in Rathfarnham, and some salty old dog at the bar told the barman that the wind was that strong "it'd tear a fiver from a Cavan man's hand".
