someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

there are literally no downsides to abolishing ICE even. it was never even useful, unless fascism was what you wanted

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

There's no daylight between the Gestapo and ICE. None. Murdering kidnapping, raping, child molestation, trafficking, beating innocent people. If you have a Rep who isn't calling to abolish immediately then they work for the Gestapo. Anyone who tells you that you're overreacting is one of them too

I and trans writers before me have gone repeatedly into tracing the trajectory of the 2010s, where we went from the first bathroom bill in NC resulting mass boycotts to over 1000 anti-trans bills being introduced by 2025. There was a deliberate, targeted shift in discourse!

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

The realization that the “death to America” rhetoric we were raised to believe so extremist and terrifying is actually justified — and arguably just — is fundamentally destabilizing for a lot of people.

nato is going to evaporate and 5 minutes later china will launch jets for taiwan and taiwan will raze the fabs to the ground. ram crisis solved.

this is what the nail girlies are up to

not the trans community clothing swap getting booted from its park pavilion reservation for a fetus's gender reveal party

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life

needed a bit of joy & levity today

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

it actions like this that make people, especially gen z, despise the democratic party. what are we doing here

why did i think ben shapiro was already dead?

The amount of restraint the people of Minneapolis have shown is INCREDIBLE. Fucking INCREDIBLE. We don't need our leaders lecturing us like children. ICE is kidnapping and beating and MURDERING us and we're out here with fucking whistles and phones and an occasional snowball.

this is genuinely incredible

Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests. This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

Respectfully, to the people saying abolition is wrong because we need to incarcerate ICE ghouls, I disagree. ICE proves why Abolition is necessary, because any armed paramilitary force will eventually turn into what ICE is now. We know this because so many police departments already did.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

this is a very useful thread for those of us completely overwhelmed right now!

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

i enjoyed a couple hundred pages of a long scifi and then tolerated another hundred and then survived the last hundred (approx.), so i was curious but wary about the sequel involving aliens, and reader i made it less than half a page. the aliens were just not hitting for me.

🙂

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

i keep buying decidedly non-urgent things online like a purse or a summer shirt in winter, and i keep selecting the cheapest slowest shipping, and I keep getting packages like this

"But what can the Democrats do, they're not in power?" This.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

taking the ICE spokeswoman at her word and giving her the same validity as the mayor is an explicit endorsement of ICE's legitimacy by the new york times

so ICE is just shooting people in the face in cold blood in the middle of the street now abolish it and prosecute everyone involved, there can be no "looking forward" about this kind of shit

important message to all bluesky users

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point

"In extraordinary moments such as this, too many journalists behave as if they have more in common with billionaires destroying journalism than the 80 or so people killed in Venezuela by Trump’s airstrikes. If we’ve learned anything this past year, it’s that proximity to power does not equal power."

I wish more places would legislate outdoor cats [as in, not letting cats be outdoor].

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

40 people (at least) died. It's the official policy of these newsrooms that Latin American lives aren't worth anything. Again, if you still pay for an NYT subscription I think you're trash.

thats the biggest thing i notice at work. the machine saying something is given more weight than a person saying it or a person disagreeing. there is something happening to peoples brains

We gotta imprison each of these shithead AI ceo's in a different data center like the minotaur

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

Wealth should have a cap. Once you've made, I dunno, $100 million dollars, that's it. Congratulations, you won Capitalism. You benefitted from society so much, you'll never have a material worry again. We'll name a dog park after you. Everything past that goes into a "social benefit fund."

wow, seeing Jake Paul get beaten half to death, true terror in his eyes, really improved my whole outlook on life

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME. I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center. People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.
