There’s something very dystopian about listening to Poor Man’s Poison while applying for jobs in this late stage of capitalism. But they’re all bangers so I’m not mad. … Also yes I’m still alive.

I’m embarking on a new venture and could use your support. I’ve started working on a certification to be a freelance proofreader, with the eventual goal of offering both proofreading and copy editing services. How can you help? By sending me clients! >

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning. A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Hey, hi, currently at 43 of the 2000 dollars we need by this weekend to pay rent. Bare minimum I need 200 by Saturday night or I will ALSO be overdrawn. I need to try to sleep soon, but please - help if you can, boost if you can't. I'm exhausted. I need help and I need it now. Thanks. 💜

There's video of Don Lemon outside the protest stating explicitly: "I'm just chronicling. I'm not with the group." Bondi went to grand jury for an indictment after the courts declined to approve arrest warrant *twice.* Legal experts explain here why this is so ugly: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature. It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money. The House is voting on it today.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Report from a user calling the Augusta office of Senator Susan Collins... If you're a Mainer calling Collins, maybe add that her staff shouldn't be arguing with a constituent. Or calling them a fucking bitch.
“I just made my daily call to Senator Susan Collins and I called the Augusta office and spoke to a man asked him to define ice in border control. He started giving me a hard time about defunding border control would mean that illegal aliens could come in you do realize that right he said I said listen don’t give me your Nazi speak… He then said don’t call me a Nazi you fucking bitch and hung up on me. I’m horrified.”
