ICE picking up legal observers today in Minneapolis, swarming through the city like we haven’t seen in months. Very aggressive: watched a heavily armed platoon take an observer, then ran into a four-car convoy that kept intentionally veering in front of me on the highway. STAY SAFE MN PEOPLE

Fascism 101. Trump's FBI raided a voting rights nonprofit here in Cleveland. Burst into the offices, seized phones & computers, then showed up at homes of people involved w/ the group and interrogated them. FBI refuses to say what the raid was about. Because it's about Election Denier bullshit.

If you are up to it, watch the first 30 minutes of this. It details recent atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. It is horrifying. This should be shown on broadcast news. If a single day of this was done to a Western population, it would dominate headlines for months.

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.

"didn't do enough"? Patton, the Democrats did Gaza. they didn't ~fail to prevent~ genocide, they are the reason it happened. they paid for it, they provided the weapons, they skipped Congressional approval to send weapons faster, they blocked the sanctions, they defied the ICC. they did Gaza.

The ideology behind the Jewish supremacy of Zionism is the same as that underlying white supremacy in the US. It should be no surprise to see the ethnonationalists cover for each other.
This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that 
@elonmusk
 made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

IKEA Announces Revolutionary Quantum Storage Solution

Swedish furniture giant IKEA has partnered with CERN to develop a revolutionary storage system based on quantum mechanics. The system, dubbed FÖRSVINNA ('disappear' in Swedish), can instantly teleport small but crucial furniture parts into parallel universes.

'We were inspired by watching customers assemble our furniture,' said project lead Dr. Björn Schrödinger. 'Somehow, the essential pieces were already quantum tunneling themselves out of existence. We just commercialized the process.'

The technology is particularly effective with:
- The last screw needed to stabilize a wobbly table
- That weird L-shaped Allen wrench you need for everything
- The single crucial dowel that holds the entire bookshelf together
- Step #27 of the instruction manual

When asked about recovery of lost parts, Dr. Schrödinger stated the pieces exist in a superposition of being both under your couch and in the Andromeda galaxy. 'But mostly in Andromeda,' he added."

TIL mistletoe is a parasitic plant
mistletoe, any of many species of parasitic plants of the families Loranthaceae, Misodendraceae, and Santalaceae, especially those of the genera Viscum, Phoradendron, and Arceuthobium (all of which are members of the family Santalaceae). Most mistletoes parasitize a variety of hosts, and some species even parasitize other mistletoes, which in turn are parasitic on a host. They are pests of many ornamental, timber, and crop trees and are the cause of abnormal growths called “witches’ brooms” that deform the branches and decrease the reproductive ability of the host. Some species are used as Christmas decorations and are associated with a holiday tradition of kissing.
