Moira rose from schitt’s creek saying “never let the bsdtardd get you down” im so sad

A general strike is a great idea, and to make it happen, I need you to organize your coworkers into a union at your workplace

Shutdown update: Sen. Bernie Sanders wants an amendment vote on funding package to repeal $75 billion for ICE in big beautiful bill. Has another proposal to redirect that money into Medicaid

It seems like you can't shop for a house right now, but you can shop for someone else's retirement and receive a house as a kind of thank-you-for-donating tote.

A basic tenet of my worldview is that fascism is very hard to sustain due to the fundamental rowdiness of people. You have to do so much for so long to contain it. You will never have enough guys. Eventually you just give up and start killing people but you go to sleep surrounded by the feral living

this shit is scary for so many reasons obviously but it’s also a little fun sometimes

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

we keep us safe, and only we can keep us safe

Obsessed

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

Just a heads up, tomorrow is Large Boulder the size of a Small Boulder, hope you've done your shopping and holiday meal prep.

Whiteboard doodle of a purple and green hummingbird nosing at an orange flower. I have no idea if hummingbirds are actually interested in this kind of flower, it's all fantastical.

Sometimes day jobs don't suck. Sometimes you draw a hummingbird on someone's whiteboard, and they knit you gloves as a thank you because the doodle reminded them of their mom.

a flyer that reads: Urgent Call!! for donations to Twin Cities Swoletariat Bail Fund for a comrade facing federal repression. Venmo @TCSwoletariat CashApp $TCSwoletariat

I'll be sharing a few more fundraisers from the twin cities, and once again, I am only sharing those that are vouched for by people I personally know who are on the ground.

This is a bail fund that helps people who were arrested and are facing charges.

Seventy-year old man with white beard in dark wool hat and dark glove walks from the right out of a concentrated cloud of smoke, with a stark bare branch young tree in front of him and two red decorative pavement markers to either side.

Theia Chatelle's amazing photograph of Greg Ketter, owner of DreamHaven Books in Minneapolis...emerging from a cloud of tear gas. Signed there a couple of times, great SF/Fantasy bookstore.

ICYMI, I get royalties for this, if you want to help out a freelancing writer in the heat death of online promo.

Five phrases about the transitory nature of all things...

5. Everything has an end, except the sausage, which has two (German)

Announcing my stripped-down, grimdark TTRPG where you yearn to carve your name into history with grit and a bloody axe as the world collapses around you. Unfortunately, you're not a heroic adventurer, you're stuck working 66 hours a week in a rotating series of dead-end corporate jobs. I call it:

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Someone drew a heart in the smudge on the back of the bus and it made me wonder how many well-wishings were finger-painted into the dust on carts and wagons thousands of years ago.

“professional grade logistics” is literally just moms existing

This reminds me of the time that me and some friends planned a protest against oil drilling in the Arctic. At the event one of the (older) guys said in a speech that "the girls organised all of this so easily, like they were planning a dinner party" and I was so mad because we worked SO HARD ...

A drawing of hate pit saying death to the wizard kings

It’s my birthday, and i get to be the bitch, and birthday bitch says draw this in your style?

talking with someone about this today, and their whole expression sharpened suddenly as they asked "is that why ICE is angry people have video from multiple angles?"

AI is the enemy of documentation--which is a way of saying, it's the enemy of accountability.

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

The nurses are pissed

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

It doesn't feel like enough. And it won't.
Go to the meetings anyway. Volunteer anyway. Take notes on how to run an orientation. Go home and cry for a few hours. Rehydrate anyway. Keep going anyway.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!
