god fucking damnit

I grew up in Colorado. Colorado history was REQUIRED in middle school. The Mexican-American War never came up. Likely due to our teacher, Mr. Lee being a virulent racist.

What you are seeing here from Booker is the most craven and cynical counterinsurgency designed to preserve the key structures while tricking low information liberals into thinking people in power care and are “doing something.”

They had to combine millennials and Gen Z so it wouldn't look as distressing. We basically don't have any money.

Hey peeps, one of my soccer teammates needs me to write him a character reference letter (the government is trying to deport him and he’s a solid dude who doesn’t deserve any of this), any immigration lawyers here with recommendations on the best way to go about that?

They’ve been a great partner to help me help raise money for hundreds and thousands of people in need,,, but if you don’t stand for something ya fall for anything.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

So good

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

me again

2026’s refresh rate is wild I go do some chores and like 14 major world events have happened

hey guys, washington state is attempting to sneak through a mandatory age verification bill like the ones that have gotten NSFW sites and sites that host NSFW content blocked in various other states and some countries, please help and submit a comment opposing it app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

Fucking Metal Gear Solid detection going on there

Fuck I love this

Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

Because it's absolutely true: if there's no point in doing anything at all, why would you do it? It's humans who make meaning. The events are just events. We make them mean something. What that is is entirely up to us. Story is uniquely human. Story is our one superpower.

Holy mother of oy There's a tiny green belt behind my #PNW home, and it's choked with #englishIvy I just went out and began to rip that down off the trees I was NOT prepared for that amount of strenuous OMG

Fuuuuuuuuuuck this. To be willing to do something that looks this bad, means that whatever they’re hiding is actually even worse.

Playing cards are to tabletop games as Excel is to software startups.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

I promised you some good news after a bleak week. Here it is. This is one of the most wrenching wrongful convictions I've ever written about. It is wonderful to see Charlie out and off to his new home. radleybalko.substack.com/p/after-35-y...

Here is a thread about a true police-shooting incident that I'm going to use to pose a fun little thought problem for anyone anywhere who think there ia a single justifiable reason to ever allow a law enforcement officer to use force on a citizen and remain anonymous. From my back pages:

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful

I am donating to this and I would very much like it if others who can donate would do the same. It's not OK that only $6500 has been collected so far. Thank you. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

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.

Splendid thread to uplift your timeline and for mental refreshment amid the ongoing everything.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

important message to all bluesky users

Martin Freeman the actor who played Bilbo Baggins and was in The Office with other famous transphobe Ricky Gervais donated to Graham Linehan's legal fund to be let off bullying a trans child and threatening trans people with violence. Also generally a piece of shit. thedirect.com/article/mart...

One thing I didn't fully appreciate until I sat on a jury and reviewed body cam footage for myself, is how cops yell contradictory instructions at people like "Don't move" "Put your hands up" "Get the fuck out of here" "Keep your hands where I can see them" etc. all screamed at your face with guns

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

it’s like if a white man was killed and people started unironically saying “rest in power, king” come on, man

OMFG #roblox put out an update so that you can only chat with people in your age group (of which there are 6!!!) This means that chat is completely empty and I can't play a game I've been loving, #DandysWorld, because it's lost the fun of coordinating with people Fucking disaster

EXCLUSIVE: RAICES built a national reputation on the belief that no kid should go to court alone. Then it declined a $19.5 million federal contract and misrepresented the reason for dropping child clients, former staffers told contributor @paulflahive.bsky.social thebarbedwire.com/2026/01/07/r...

Unfortunately, this.

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..." then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live! people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US. it's MAD.

Everyone else go home — this is the year we secure ABOLISH ICE on a Chicago Snowplow chicagoshovels.org

A Solari board. You know those old train and airport departure boards where the letters went flipflipflip? One of those. And with a code to change the letters remotely so my friends could send me silly messages. Flipflipflipflipflip!

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Very much a "let's burn the Library of Alexandria" vibe

I just sniped a kid in Overwatch and he wrote "ohhh Kirked me" and I just found out they're using that as shorthand for a good snipe HOLY SHIT LOL
