Fuck ICE, you're on Indigenous Land

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” I declare to my group chat as I disclose operational details of an in progress airstrike to a group chat on unsecured devices that includes a journalist.

Just the absolute stupidest, lowest quality soldier imaginable.

Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Today, we sent a letter warning the new Institute of Museum and Library Services acting director not to cut library programs required by federal law. www.ala.org/news/2025/03...

Tragic news: The breeding male of Oregon's Metolius pack was recently found killed near Sisters, Oregon.

We've contributed to the $30.5K reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the killing of this federally protected wolf.

JD Vance calls UK 'some random country that hasn't fought war in 30 years' US Vice President JD Vance said the only way to secure lasting peace in Ukraine is to grant the US an economic upside - and slammed the UK as 'some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 years'

this guy is such an arrogant little prick. he’s done nothing in his life but suck up to a progression of would-be daddies but he struts around like his shit doesn’t stink.

Companies doing moderation: not a free speech issue

People blocking you for saying mean things: not a free speech issue

Fact checks: not a free speech issue

This right here? THIS is an attack, by the government, on your constitutional right to protest against oppression.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

he thinks he’s king. he issues executive orders (royal decrees) and the entire society is expected to obey

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?

A quick act of resistance against this nonsense, as well as a show of solidarity with our fellow Americans who are federal civil service workers, is to send five things you accomplished this last week to Hr@opm.gov

…and go.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate

Kendrick: actually

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The higher costs from Trump’s tariffs will be felt by the nurse in Philomath and the firefighter in Coos Bay. Not by Trump, Elon Musk or their billionaire buds.

GOP pollster says Trump voters ‘tired’ of being accused of racism Republican pollster Frank Luntz said on Friday that President Trump’s voters are “tired” of being accused of being sexist and racist. In a discussion about Trump’s remarks linking diversity, equity…

If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't vote for a fucking racist, this isn't exactly rocket science my dudes

sunday miba returns!! SUBATHON EDITION!!

📢 on the agenda today:
Warhammer 40k minis, duck time, being silly, and adding ONE GOOGLY EYE TO MY FACE FOR EVERY SUB/$5

A received text message saying “Adopt some conjunctions from your local grammar shelter instead of backyard breeding all your inbred commas”

receiving some fantastic notes from a friend reading through my book

among the many crazy things about this statement is that “the diversity of america’s fighting force is how it has triumphed over its enemies” has been a part of american military propaganda since at least the civil war

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.

Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

What Elon Musk’s Salute Was All About A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

“A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial.

Also, in related news, a clownish dick is a clownish dick.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

A six-panel comic. In panel 1, there's a pigeon standing awkwardly next to a pile of sticks with two eggs on it, and the panel is titled "Why pigeons make bad nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics." In panel 2, a pigeon sits on a pile of sticks: "Many people think that pigeons are bad at making nests. Here are three good reasons why pigeon nests look bad." In panel 3, there's "Reason 1: Some birds, like orioles, nest in tree branches, so they weave elaborate structures that can withstand the elements..." And there's a female Baltimore Oriole weaving an elaborate hanging nest in a silver maple tree. In panel 4, "...but rock pigeons evolved to nest in crevices in cliffs, safely tucked away." And there's a pigeon sitting on a nest in a hole in a cliff. In panel 5, "Reason 2: People domesticated pigeons ages ago. Pigeons didn't need fancy nests because they had human-built homes." A beautiful dovecote shelters a flock of pigeons. In panel 6, "Reason 3: Less time making nest = more time eating seed." A pigeon pecks a seed near its nest, and says "It's called math."

Why Pigeons Make Bad Nests: A defense of pigeon aesthetics

also yes, I know it's actually duckweed, but the internet doesn't tend to refer to the image that way, so alas ;-;
