I hate when the people I’m assigned to work a job with start panicking all because the unidentified organism we have been sent to collect has escaped and started killing people on the ship. It’s like none of them have even considered what’s best for the company

This is my neighborhood. There AREN’T sirens going off everywhere. They are not doing this for max theater. They are doing it _to get people._

The year is 2028. Donald Trump is on the campaign trail. The Supreme Court is considering whether states can keep him off the ballot just because he's constitutionally ineligible to run. Over 50,000 National Guardsmen from 25 states are occupying D.C. at a cost of $50 million a week.

If anything belongs in @thelouvreof.bsky.social it's this perfect skeet:

They’re escalating routine traffic stops to arrests because they don’t actually have shit to do.

The third night of the occupation there was an additional 850 federal officers alongside our 3200 MPD officers. There were… 23 total arrests that night.

Texas Democratic legislator to stay in state capitol after refusing law enforcement escort to leave State Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth on Monday said she will remain locked in the Austin statehouse chamber until the House reconvenes on Wednesday morning.

“‘I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,’ Collier said in a statement that called her a ‘political prisoner’ for refusing Republican ‘surveillance protocol.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (FREDERICTON, August 18th, 2025) A group of 413 Canadian and Canadian-based scholars, athletes, sports journalists, and sports officials have signed a public letter calling on Tennis Canada to cancel the Davis Cup tournament with Israel this September in Halifax. Signatories include three United Nations Special Rapporteurs, four-time Olympian distance runner Mohammed Ahmed, two members of the Palestinian women’s soccer team who compete for York University, a former Canadian Olympic beach volleyball coach, sports journalists Shireen Ahmed and Ian Kennedy, public intellectuals and activists Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis and some of Canada’s most distinguished and internationally-recognized scholars. The letter is signed by prominent individuals from 46 different academic institutions in Canada, as well as by Canadians at prominent global institutions. One hundred and six of the signatories are based in Atlantic Canada, where the event is slated to occur. The call to cancel the Davis Cup event comes amidst rising condemnation of Israeli conduct in Gaza and the West Bank, which leading legal scholars, activists and human rights groups have described as a genocide. Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the letter says that allowing the competition to go ahead is “unconscionable” and calls on the Canadian government to prevent Canadian athletes from competing against Israeli athletes in all international sporting competitions. Despite Tennis Canada’s claims that the event isn’t political and is just about playing tennis, the letter states in part that Canada should follow the lead of other nations who “refuse to legitimize Israel’s crimes” by withdrawing from international sporting competition. “This includes Jordanian tennis player Abdellah Shelbayh, who recently withdrew from a tennis competition in Greece after being slated to play an Israeli athlete,” the letter says. The letter points to the use of sporting sanctions in South Africa as a meaningful …

“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza…we call on Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to forbid Canadian athletes to compete against Israeli athletes at the Davis Cup and all other international events.”

I watch Star Trek for the plot.

I posted this about a year ago, but now that Trump has revealed that he plans to make an unconstitutional, authoritarian power-grab to try to outlaw mail-in ballots before 2026 midterms (which he does *not* have the authority to do, per Article 1, Section 4), it’s appropriate to re-up this.

That's a big horse

The easiest decision ever

WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.

Texas Cops: We Wrongly Tried to Get a Woman Charged With Murder For an Abortion, and We’d Do It Again Generally speaking, it is not a great sign when when cops admit things like “I don't know what the law states right now” under oath.

New: Lizelle Gonzalez is suing officials who wrongly charged her with murder for an abortion—and depositions with investigators show that, if given the chance, they would handle future cases the same way

Police and sheriffs have so much power to ruin people’s lives by manipulating the legal process

Hold up: if I read this right, Texas Republicans expect a serving representative and Black woman to … accept being shadowed by a police minder? To go to the bathroom?

The President of the United States of America does not know the difference between a driver's license and a license plate.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”

Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.
