4 frame comic. First frame shows a set of keys, second shows the store Gummi with a banner reading, in German : Stamm und Bassermann / früher Gummi Weil. Third frame shows passersby looking at smashed storefront windows. Fourth shows a tweet by US homeland security that reads : Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.gov/cbphome . text reads : according to the Berlin Jewish museum, the nazi term "aryanization" referred to "the process of expropriation or confiscating Jewish people's property [businesses, stores, homes, land, etc] and handing it over to non-jewish ("aryan," in Nazi usage) individuals or companies, or to the state." in his book "Holocaust justice," Shoah historian michael bazyler estimates that between $230 and $320 billions (in 2005 u.s. dollars) in properties were stolen from Jews across Europe in the different waves of aryanization. the first wave, starting in 1933, involved heavy pressure on Jewish people to sell their properties to non-jewish people at a fraction of the price. after the pogroms of November 1938 ("Kristallnacht"), jewish owners were outright evicted and dispossessed. thinking about this today for no particular reason.

No particular reason.

...This will make up for my lack of consistent social media presence, right?

This is what happens when you elect, 3x over, a fucking goon whose only previous work experience was being a nepo baby and drug dealer.

“Did they grow up under a rock??”

Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.

This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

One hallmark of pseudoscience is an emphasis on confirmation rather than refutation.

Scientists are constantly and consistently trying to prove themselves wrong, whereas those who practice pseudoscience are more concerned with proving themselves right.

Close-up picture of snow-covered tree branches overlaid with the words "Good morning! It doesn’t matter if your story idea has been done before. If it hasn’t been done by YOU, it’s still worth doing because you bring something to it that no one else can: your unique perspective."

Good morning! This is your friendly reminder that it doesn’t matter if your story idea has been done before. If it hasn’t been done by YOU, it’s still worth doing because you bring something to it that no one else can: your unique perspective.

This is important. As humans, we like the idea of masterminds and grand schemes. Because it means we can solve societal problems just by defeating the big boss. But in reality, such problems can only be solved by uprooting systems--like financial capitalism--that create bad actors as externalities.

Never forget that the people who convinced you trans people are a threat to your children all belong to a network of child rapists.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

Perfect name for a snowplow tbh

We have an unprecedented moment of solidarity between leftists, liberal, centrists, and even non-MAGA Republicans on opposing DHS and after like 3 days Dems completely folded their hand and are prepared to give ICE $10 billion more if they pinky promise to behave themselves

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Strategic is a word that too many folks say when they mean

“I think you’re an acceptable sacrifice so I can maintain access “

"You were mean to us, so we had to murder you" is the tactic this rancid, racist canned ham is going with, in case you were wondering if things were going to get better.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Having some thoughts about the nature of my fears as a Canadian that I want to try to express in deep solidarity with everyone in Minnesota and elsewhere fighting our common enemy. This thread will not be in the "Canadian asshole" genre. (The opposite, I hope). Still, mute if you want.

Effectively ending your access to information, and keeping you ignorant.

Remember when Rob and Doug Ford wanted to close all the Toronto libraries?

Remember when The Albino King of Cat Piss cancelled the census?

Cover of "What the Dog Knows" by Cat Warren

With all the non-fiction and all the dog books I read in 2025, it's no surprise that my favourite was "What the Dog Knows" by Cat Warren. An older book, but what a gem. Entertaining and interesting, a book full of well-researched facts, AND soul.

*endless screaming*

thinking about how, in the Russian history elective I took in HS, every time a tsar was facing domestic weakness the teacher would turn to the assembled students and ask "so what is it time for?" and we would chant "stunning territorial annexation!" and she would respond "well, DUH, girls"

It's that time of year when I've lost all sense of what day it is.
