Nancy 3/4/26 💅

I AM NOT A LAWYER, this isn't legal advice, but this has ALREADY come up so I need to post about this: Homebrewing is perfectly legal (if it's legal in your state, it's legal in mine.) However, DISTILLING is the line where the ATF will show up, shoot your dog, and then arrest you if you survive.

One day this stupid thing will work.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Thirty-two people died in ICE custody nationwide last year, surpassing the previous high of 20 in 2005, according to federal data. Nearly a quarter of last year’s deaths occurred in Texas.

Minneapolis.

Tom Homan is claiming that he wants "access to the jails" in exchange for ending the siege on Minneapolis. Be clear that this is just a lie. 1) Jail rosters are public information and every LEO agency has access to them. They regularly pick up people to deport all the time, everywhere.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

have a merry Christmas or else

MAGA Boomer: At your age in 1970 I paid off college & bought a house w/hard work Millennials: In 1970 college was 5% of median salary—Now it’s 44%. A median home was $24K—Now its $417K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%—Now its 37%. Sure maybe you did work hard—but then closed the door behind you.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

If we're improving SNAP by making it universal, we should also improve it by making it cash. We should trust people to use money for whatever they most need, not restrict them from buying stuff "for their own good" as if they're children. Universal basic income is what we should do instead.

This is a good video for anyone wondering why the US as the #1 producer of oil would want Venezuela's oil. The answer: our refineries want their oil, not our oil. Can we please just move on to green energy and stop invading countries and mass murdering for this shit?

Not hearing much about the War on Christmas this year. Wonder why.

watching this in public was a huge mistake, oh my god. the fact he's still eating like he isn't being violently thrown around is killing me.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

Sometimes the metaphor is a little too on the nose.

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters” James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

Armed Parkland police officers ran away Armed Uvalde police officers refused to act Unarmed Arab Muslim Ahmed el Ahmed took 2 bullets to protect Jewish neighbors & stopped the mass shooter with his bare hands Never forget: A good guy w/o a gun had more courage than 100s of cops with unlimited guns

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

Me in my 20s: people have a lot of motives and there's nuance to everything Me in my 40s: oh a lot of people are just evil actually

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

The people who make generative AI tools are trying to sell destinations by waging a war on journeys. They take it for granted that no one enjoys the experience of doing anything creative, provocative, or cognitively demanding. That's the audience they pitch to. And that's why they're failing.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

this is the thing that always gets me about the British and class. The ones policing it are those who are firmly middle of the pack. they’re the ones with a complex about it and rather than trying to dismantle it in a way that would help everyone, they throw themselves into enforcement

Congrats everyone, we are officially at “circle back in the new year” o clock, we have survived the year, good work team

bringing heliolatry back in 2025 as i pray to the sun for a solar flare to obliterate AI data center

Oh I hate this "Progress* is an inescapable force of nature, surrender to it !" discourse. Have some principles, grow a spine, and try to see beyond the thin veil of marketing, please. *latest tech product shat out by a dead eyed tech bro

It's a completely normal Thursday, not everything has to be a big deal ... ... except the 25% off orders over $25! THAT'S A BIG DEAL!!! Use code BLKFRI25 at checkout! crippledgiraffdecals.bigcartel.com

You just give people benefits. Fairly universally the "freeloader" on these systems are less of a strain than the benefits they provide. You just do the thing and accept maybe someone has a handicap parking allowance that they don't absolutely need.

It's very hard to understand that everyone should just be accommodated. There's enough to go around, truly. You've been sold a story that we're all scrabbling for some finite resource, and They are taking it from you, and the answer to that taking is systemic punishment, backed by systemic violence.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

The current FDA is indistinguishable from wellness influencer Instagram because that’s exactly what they want to be

They’re actively trying to kill us at this point.

Not far from my hotel is the absurdly blingy 18th century Late Baroque private chapel Asamkirche, home to a golden skeleton brandishing scissors to cut the cord of life..!

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

Not great that we’ve created a system where the best job opportunities for working class men involve either overseeing other working class people in prison, or working as masked secret police violently hunting down working class immigrants targeted for deportation despite having committed no crimes.

I'm thrilled to say @dmagazine.bsky.social has named me the Best Reporter of 2025. It's an honor that is not without some irony but I am grateful nonetheless.

I'll give you the short version: they sponsored & supported the most influential AIDS denialist group of the 2000's, resulting in national policies in South Africa that caused an estimated 330,000 deaths there. They have never apologized or acknowledged what they did. medium.com/the-monthly/...
