There were bomb threats at 30 public schools in my city yesterday, and more in Springfield. Fake bombs were planted. Children were sent home bc of hate-filled followers of a pedophile. Conservatives, this doesn’t have to be your identity. You do not have to choose that side.

👏👏👏

Benito said "God Bless America," and then proceeded to name every country in South and North America. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We do not need another data center we need clean air fresh water livable wages accessible healthcare a new president fix these roads groceries we can afford people who can sing artist that dont starve and Children that remember how to laugh

“But what do you want Democrats to do….” I don’t know stuff like this?

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

When you are celebrating your friend’s breast reduction but also f* ice

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

This man, who honored life both in action as an ICU nurse at the VA hospital and in words as we see here, was a hero. He was on the streets of his city protecting others when he was gunned down by a rogue paramilitary agency.

used the words "we hate finding out we were right way more than you hate finding out you were wrong" today nobody is having fun right now, lib friends. what matters is that we're on the same page

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Maybe you missed the exit ramp when they shot Renee, or the next one when they gassed the kids. Or you ALMOST took the ramp when they kidnapped Liam but there were so many lanes and all those drivers waving you forward. Trump voters, the execution of Alex is another exit ramp. You got this. Let’s go

NEW: A federal court ruling in Minnesota, which notes ICE agents broke the Fourth Amendment by entering a family's home sans warrant, lands as ICE faces scrutiny over a secret memo claiming their agents can enter homes w/ administrative paperwork alone.

The horrifying things they are doing are not normal. But being horrified is. You feel sick because you are still human. You still have a soft beating heart and a stomach that twists in knots. They haven’t taken it away. It hurts because you still belong to yourself.

the president slowly physically decaying and manifesting what appears to be some kind of stigmata on his hand while becoming more insane and evil would be dismissed as a hacky writing device

Scalzi you glorious human.

I know there is a lot going on, but this should be everywhere.

Democracy isn’t a show you watch. It is participatory. Get out there.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

One time I bumped into someone and got a teeny, tiny bruise, which technically is internal bleeding but I did not shoot them in the face.

There’s a game I’ve been playing lately called Is it a hot flash or is it pure rage? Either way I’d rather be perimenopausal than fascist.

My heart is heavy. #IceOutForGood #IceOutOfCbus #ReneeNicoleGood

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Yesterday I went to see Liberation on Broadway. In one scene the women discuss the risk of getting shot while protesting in Ohio. I thought about all my friends organizing to protect our community from ICE. I turned on my phone after to a flood of notifications about a mom shot in her car by ICE.

If I for some reason ever pass And they try to make my wife a roommate Or a shadow in my life Let it be known she was my heart. She was my everything. Not a shadow But the whole sun.

@heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.web.brid.gy told me to call my Republican congressmen so I hopped on 5Calls. Here is your reminder to make your voice annoyingly familiar to their aides.

It is very much NOT NORMAL to wake up to social media posts from the criminal in the White House bragging of violating international law by kidnapping a foreign president and truly having no clue what is going on bc we don’t even have an actual press corps at the Pentagon. This is NOT NORMAL.

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

Wishing everyone except the N*zis a magical, safe, warm holiday.

I’m exhausted and horrified by *waves at world*, but my daughter is on her way home from college, Christmas music is playing, my husband is baking, and I’m arranging lights to spell out “f*ck ICE” in our window and I just had a brief moment of peace and hope.

The only way I like this Epstein files release is if every day in Advent we get another section revealed.

ICE moved their group of 200 traveling gestapo into Columbus, Ohio, and for the last few days my community has been scrambling, connecting, activating and showing up in the most magnificent way. There are so many different emergency trainings, protests, etc. that I physically can’t go to them all.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Very helpful map for anyone wondering where Venezuela is in relation to the US.

U.S. reinstates all canceled library grants after court order www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/1...

Ah, I see someone has exhumed the desiccated revenant named Carville, and used a hand bellows to force air into its lungs, so as to allow it to wheeze out miasmic utterances before being lowered once more into its crypt

Once an older white customer at the library told me how the “youngest woman” to ever give birth was six years old and he asked if I knew why that happen so I looked him straight in the eye and said “r*pe” and the man looked shocked, said well I don’t know, then told me about hormones in milk.

None of my trans friends are saying that r*ping children is ok if they are slightly older children. None of those banned queer picture bks have illustrations of teen girls perched on pedo’s knees. None of the drag queens in storytimes are asking for sex traffickers to get luxury prison treatments.

Negotiating with terrorists who gleefully starve children seems like a bad precedent.

Seeing a whole lot of Dem senators rushing to get their heartfelt, “I voted no” posts up. Remember that those 8 yes votes were carefully selected bc they aren’t up for reelection. The caucus picked who would take the fall so the rest could claim to be on our side. I don’t trust any of them rn.

NOT ONE CENT.

Tonight was a very bad night.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this plot line…

berkeley and raleigh are sold out, but: come hang out with me in these other cities!! us.macmillan.com/tours/alix-e...

This is so disturbing. Every American should be asking why. This is so far outside of anyone’s ability to defend as reasonable. Even people who think ICE is somehow doing good work (???) can’t possibly believe they need to stockpile war weapons.

If you are looking for a fun read this Indigenous People’s Day, try an alternate history where Atahualpa discovers Europe. My nerdy little Peruvian heart was continuously delighted reading Civilizations, then I got mad when it ended.
