Heh heh. "I'll mace YOU motherfucker". Newark is not Minneapolis.

Go go go! You want to help Minnesota folks recover? Donate to the rent fund and enter to win!

so weird this turned out to be Gibson's most accurate and proximate futurism. I too think of it almost daily.

instantly assumed this was a kaiju situation

Two of our sponsored dogs, Dove and Ruth, ran into each other at a Mardi Gras pet parade last week and it was the crossover we all needed. They fully embraced the spirit of the day by collecting beads… and many well-deserved pets. Laissez les bon temps rouler! 🎊

🧵💥

Blessed be all y'all, in whatever form that's best for you. Take good care of yourselves. Much love, and good-night.

The greatest borb there ever was. Spruce grouse - #birds 🌿

“A fig newton? Pour MOI??”

There are certain political faces (many) of which I only want to see anytime soon legally behind prison bars. Kthxbye.

it's molting season for RFK Jr

Ridiculous observation/peeve about The Asylum films: low-budget, CGI goofy monsters and effects, sure! But why can't the actors portraying male military enlisted and officers have regulation haircuts? Saw one film where once actor had hair down the back of his military collar. Yiiiick.

I don't know if we will win. But it's worth trying cuz we deserve better. And I agree with Angela Y. Davis, who said, "We can never predict the outcome of our work. As Stuart Hall said, 'There are never any guarantees.' At the same time, you have to act as if it were possible to change the world."

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

"Fuck ICE" Spotted in Flint, Michigan

Got some healthcare adulting done today. And on-call finished as of this morning. Vino o'clock now. 🍷

Was emotionally numb for about five days. Probably not a healthy thing, but it sure as heck was a relief. Back to the overwhelm grind.

A California agency received 20k AI-generated comments opposing heat pump rules. Staff called a sample to verify—several said they never sent comments. Raises serious questions about the opposition campaign that helped kill the clean air standards, that would've prevented 1000s of premature deaths.

"Collect books, even if you don’t plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library." —John Waters

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

It's gonna take us 50 years to clean up after Trump's admin, in economic ways, in legal, in civil rights, and environmental. He's fucked us so hard.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”. Sound familiar? That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed. This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year. They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

I hadn't cried about how much I love Minneapolis in a few days, so this was a good one to read: "Minnesotans will continue to keep Minnesotans safe until we rid the state of the federal occupation, just like lake ice is weakened by springtime sunshine and subsumed by the water below."

ok, yes, I couldn’t wait to share. I also did them as pugachu

reminds me of when alessandracorisbrosio_ said Natives already live in a post apocalyptic world. This is what happens after they slaughter all your people, build a new world on top of your old one after they burn it down and erase your history.

I've read enough news for the night. Bless all of you fighting the good fight. 💖

Our clients are Harvard Medical School doctors whose work was scrubbed for containing the words "LGBTQ" and "transgender." Our settlement means their critical research on suicide risk and endometriosis cannot be removed again.

BREAKING: We reached a settlement that requires the Trump administration to permanently maintain medical research that had been erased on a government website. The government doesn't get to censor science.

I say this, every time i say it (which is far too fucking often), to myself as much as anyone else. Like Kaba says, hope is a discipline, a practice. That doesn't mean "don't be sad," but rather using what you can to turn sadness, anger, frustration, even despair into something that drives change.

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

The grandson of the inventor of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is calling out Hershey for "quietly replacing" the candy's chocolate and peanut butter ingredients

The USDA approved waivers in 18 states, allowing for the first ever restrictions on SNAP purchases. More than a month into several of these waivers, anti-hunger advocates, individuals who rely on SNAP, and the stores that oversee these transactions are reporting confusion and complications.

WHEN TECHNOLOGY WAS WONDERFUL: a sausage vending machine in Berlin, 1954. Translation: "Warm sausages with bread rolls"

I would really like a glass of wine right now. F*ck on-call week. *sigh*

Part of the US effort under Trump to push Europe further to the right and create instability within surviving democracies. It’s a 4chan world now. We just live in it.

Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.

Once against, this regime using Mafia tactics to extort what they want out of all of us. “Nice transit systems and highways ya got there. Shame if something happened to it. You just shut those immigrants out of it or my boys here will rip up all your checks.”

Boost please! We are stalled and trying to prep for the next trip to provide medical aid to protesters in Minneapolis and those coming out of Whipple. Every bit counts, even a reblog. We have been able so far to get blankets, cots, cold weather gear...we can keep it up with your help!

this is what we folks here in the twin cities metro & across MN would really like you to understand — 1. they’re still here harming & destabilizing our communities 2. the reverberations will be felt for a very long time 3. even if they all left right now, there’s still a huge crisis to address

Have you used up all your daily allotted SQUEES? May I offer one additional? Stick around till 18 seconds, its worth it, trust me! 🦉 🐣 🪶

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake And a happy year of the whores to you all

One of the best things folks in safe blue/coastal states can do is support GOTV efforts in Texas, and support values-aligned candidates at the local level. We have a pretty good slate coming up, and even the smallest wins really signal to exhausted folks here that change is possible.

"Deals near Kansas City, Oklahoma City, SLC, and Byhalia, Missouri, have fallen through...[W]arehouse owners faced protests + mounting pressure. We need every possible limit on what Trump + his loyalists can actually do." Latest from @natashalennard.bsky.social theintercept.com/2026/02/17/w...

This was drawn a few years ago but might as well be apt for how I'm feeling this #YearOfTheHorse. Riding #PudgyHorse onto a pyre of my sketchbooks and materials. 🙃 Obvious nod to Arthur Rackham's 1911 illustration of Brünhilde's immolation scene from Götterdämmerung. #ChineseNewYear #LunarNewYear

This is Princess. She and her human work hard every day collecting trash at an apartment building. It is an often thankless job, but one kind resident thought the pair should know how much they are appreciated, and that Princess should get a uniform too. 13/10 for all (TT: oliviaolp)

... and to everyone on our side of the date line who observes - a solemn Ash Wednesday and an ecstatically ascetic Lent.
