I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

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

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Kilauea erupted again yesterday in a fierce display. In only the 2nd time in 40 years, park officials closed the area due to the intensity.

Fountains were officially recorded at 500 m high, grapefruit size tephra were being ejected, and tephra fall was measured up to 20 miles away.

I don't know when they will happen, or what it will take for us to get there, but I cannot wait for the trials that everyone in this administration will face one day. The thought of it helps to keep me going.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Most people think “as the crow flies” means ‘straight’, but it actually means ‘like an asshole.’

Use the impeachment of Noem as groundwork for abolishing ICE AND DHS. Do public education. Use media, etc...

I've done this in the past month. Keep some unsalted shelled peanuts on hand and when they see you, feed them. I have about 50-100 show up daily now.
