i am GOING TO get my hopes up every single time. NOT because i am gullible or desperate but because it is FUN

When it happens I'm running the headline "Jeffrey Epstein's best friend dies" in my newsletter

never get tired of hearing people's highly specific fantasies about how they want it to happen

Incredible and inevitable— Police chief says ICE agents violated his own officers' civil rights while off-duty. A female officer was boxed in by ICE agents who demanded her papers, pulled their guns on her, and knocked her phone down as she tried to film.

ICYMI: It’s too simple to cast PG&E as the villain in SF’s recent blackout, argues @idamoj.bsky.social. The CPUC is supposed to regulate the utility — but commissioners are appointed by the governor and, as one expert put it, “the fish rots from the head.” www.coyotemedia.org/in-the-dark-...

me, to 6-year-old who doesn’t believe in weather-appropriate clothing: are you gonna be warm enough? 6: the real question is am I gonna be COLD enough

[person in Minneapolis beaten half to death and dragged off to a concentration camp] You’re right Senator, sorry I got distracted sir! Egg prices are really - [kicked unconscious by ICE thugs]

when I finally, truly lose it, it will be because I sometimes edit for 3 different outlets w/in a given week, and one of them uses serial commas and spaces around em-dashes, one uses serial commas but no spaces around em-dashes, and one doesn't use serial commas but does put spaces around em-dashes

hardly an expert with photoshop, but here's the low ink version you provided elsewhere in the thread + QR codes for the bottom links/references. can share the .PSD if anyone wants, feel free to DM me!

wrote a special newsletter today for @coyotemedia.org that's chock-full of mutual aid links for work happening in Minneapolis-St. Paul www.coyotemedia.org/coyote-weekl...

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

fwiw these are unionized hotels and their local sent a formal request to employers not to accept ICE bookings or allow ICE to use their facilities www.facebook.com/share/p/1aV9...

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death. The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post. This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide. wapo.st/4qR1T1U

Racket wants to hear from you, Minnesota. We want to hear how the ICE occupation has changed your life, and we want the world outside of Minnesota to know as well.

Especially stoked to do this with COYOTE, working with the great @emmaruthless.bsky.social and again with @nuala.bsky.social. Give it a read and support COYOTE!!

loved editing this piece by @idamoj.bsky.social about a topic that could seem really wonky and dry but boy did she bring it to life. “The fish rots from the head”!!

At home in the dark during SF’s massive blackout last month, as journalist @idamoj.bsky.social scrambled to save food, she also wondered how we got here. It’s too simple to cast PG&E as the only villain, she argues: Why aren’t we talking about the CPUC? www.coyotemedia.org/in-the-dark-...

Let's be honest, we could all use a laugh. Luckily, SF Sketchfest runs the last two weeks of January. But with dozens of shows to pick from, how does one decide? Here are six shows COYOTE staff recommend:

The Twin Cities are still occupied, and we're still documenting the invasion.

it has come to my attention that I’m raising a Shorts Guy

"ICE violence is enabled by ICE surveillance… “, @fightforthefuture.org Director @evangreer.bsky.social speaks to @wired.com about concrete steps local leaders can and should take to protect their communities from ICE gestapo tactics. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

Hey y’all! REMINDER: I am LEGALLY OBLIGATED to award at least one scholarship to a Louisiana woman. And no Louisiana women have applied. This happens every year where we have to beg women in my own state to apply and Idk why. We’re in our 6th cycle! Come get this money! ThurmanPerryFoundation.org

I’m so amped on the ✨brand new✨ @tlvoice.bsky.social, which launched today! As @laurawenus.bsky.social writes, “the Tenderloin gets talked about a lot, but it rarely gets its say.” The Tenderloin Voice shifts control of the narrative to its residents, and I’m excited to hear what they have to share.

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

this is that thing where, if you know something about the subject, you know how stupid the tech guys sound. opening a restaurant is sorta by definition an insane passion project that will almost certainly fail

thank u @mike-eagle.bsky.social for the surprise/delight near-spit take I just did in public at the broken social scene part

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

Raffi’s been a comrade for years, I talked to him about it for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/media/2024/0...

um what

I just had an idea, a Bluesky bot that looks for verified fundraisers for people killed, maimed, and/or kidnapped by our government, and then posts them in one easy to follow account. Then I got severely depressed.

That heaviness you feel after events like yesterday is real. We've all accumulated a lot of mental and emotional weight in the first year of Trump's disastrous presidency. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-physic...

Love, love, love this @coyotemedia.org essay about Pacific East Mall from my colleague (and fellow Albany kid) @cecilialei.bsky.social. Also it's Ranch 99. I did not realize this was up for debate www.coyotemedia.org/asian-market...

Mission Local has been so great lately. I’m generally scaling back expenses, but after reading 3 superb stories this week I added a (modest) monthly donation to support their community news. Thanks @missionlocal.org staff for your excellent S.F. coverage! mission-local.donorsupport.co/page/donate

But only if Rahawa interviews them 💛 An alt weekly does exactly this kind of thing. Please support @coyotemedia.org which is an absolute murderer's row of Bay Area best and most interesting writers and journalists.

When Rahawa reached out about this I was kind of bewildered. And I was like, what's the headline going to be "local woman has hobby?" And sure enough. Bc why not? Why not be curious about someone else's curiosity? What a lovely thing. It makes me want to know more about my neighbors hobbies.

Ok I'm feeling much better today so it is worth saying: What Rahawa did in this interview was such an act of generosity and softness that I rarely afford myself. It was deeply meaningful to be treated this way. I wish you all a moment when someone handles you with this kind of gentle warmth.
