Tate’s Bake Shop Workers Allegedly Threatened With Deportation Due to Unionization Efforts Plus, NYC restaurateurs eagerly look forward to next boost of federal aid — and more intel

A friend recently bought me these Tiny Tates Gluten Free cookies and they're pretty delicious. I googled them to see where I could buy more but instead this popped up.

Gross. Evil.

I'll find another sweet treat.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

Hey, if you use this, you will 100% end up in custody

Cold Snap

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Illegally arresting journalists before releasing the Epstein Files.

Falsifying Georgia voting records before releasing the Epstein Files.

Tying to destroy the independence of Federal Reserve before releasing the Epstein Files.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Listen. The average person just doesn’t need training to know that it’s wrong to kill people.

This is not some big complex problem that requires expertise to get right. If ICE is killing people, it’s from a lack of morality, not a lack of knowledge.

for all the neurotypical folks who have ever wondered what ADHD feels like 🙂

"Ghost Tourist" - a Korean ghost on a trip around the world (here for Dia de los Muertos), and a nod to how rituals and traditions can mirror and echo each other even over great distances.

I'm not sure how, but The Substance had something to do with this.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Thy ICE terrorist organization doesn't care what this person has to say. They have already determined the outcome.

At this point if I was abducted by aliens 👽🛸I would consider it a rescue mission.

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show." Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us." Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room. "I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

you have to USE impeaching Noem to make a BROAD public case to dismantle DHS.

Rejecting authoritarian leadership means accepting the direct responsibility for change

You can't reform this shit. This is a death threat.

Those in power have tried to convince us that resistance would be too tiring.

But let Minnesotans teach you that it’s actually energizing to be a part of a movement to change society for the better.

If you’re tired, get involved. You’ll be surprised by how quickly you start to feel better.

Heads up everyone, it’s not just Minnesota. These fuckers are still doing their fascist bullshit across the nation.

Man ponders if he is still a good person if helping others benefits him. The universe answers and tells him: 'Be kind, I don't care why'

He never told us the Helpers would be safe Never told us they were invincible Never told us they weren't Flesh and Blood Boot and Sinew Soul and Heart Mothers and Fathers Black and white Brown and Indigeouss He told us "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." Maybe because The Helpers need help too Need protection Need prayers Need love I think we are supposed to Look for the helpers To let them know They aren't alone They aren't unseen They will not be forgotten If you can not stand on the front line Anchor it Amplify it Protect it Look for the helpers Hold them up Speak life Gratitude Weave not thoughts and prayers But summon ancestral strength Wrap them in a power undefinable Mr. Ropers was right When the chaos comes Look for the belpers Follow the helpers And when the asphalt is watered With helper blood As it has been Over and over Seeping into the soil beneath Let their names be forever In the air Like prayers Like battle cries The peaple save the people The helpers lead the way Look for the helpers Help them Too LesteHonorePoetry

#LookForTheHelpers

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

Yeah. And it sucks. Let me be very clear - I didn't *want* to be right.
