Science fiction fan. Witch. Old hippie. I tend not to follow people I don't know in some way. In person is best, even if it was just met once at a con or festival. Love cats but can't have one any more because they are a tripping hazard for me.

Dear Graduates: Congrats! A few of you will become the next Elon Musk or Donald Trump. The rest of you will do worse than your parents, with worse jobs and high costs - so the multi-billionaires can become even richer. Or do you want to fight to change that? xoxo America

The Mexican Zoot suit, or Pachuco, was brought into the 21st century last night at the 2025 Met Gala. The suit is known as an act of resistance and “was an open rejection of the moral codes propagated by sanctimonious white middle-class Americans.”

Today is International Sex Workers' Day. The criminalization of sex work increases the risk of harm to sex workers -- including harm from arrest, jailing, conviction, stigmatization, violence, and exploitation. Sex work should be decriminalized.

If a bunch of plain-clothes police officers kidnap you off the street, ferry you a thousand miles away from your house and prevent you from seeing your pregnant wife and I said "I appreciate my government's broad, bold set of efforts to counter extremism" in response, I am praising your kidnapping.

Ordinary citizens in San Diego and Minneapolis have now tried to block heavy-handed ICE enforcement efforts. Where else? I'm compiling a list.

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

They tried lie about an ICE presence. MPD assisted with closing off the area. This is completely wrong.

Right now as I type, right in the middle of the evening commute hours, we have tornado warnings popping up in the vicinity, & local TV is simulcasting real-time weather coverage on local NPR station. Not that that's important to the safety of people who are out driving in it right now or anything.

like many other places, minnesota cops have long had officers with ties to white supremacist groups and there’s been several cases the past few months all over of chuds cosplaying as ICE & harming random people (mainly BIPOC) it should be more damning how we can barely tell the difference

The White House's stated intent to use expedited removal for this guy's family is flatly ILLEGAL. By law, expedited removal ONLY applies to people not admitted at a port of entry, or here without having been "admitted or paroled" into the US. But his family was admitted at an airport on visas!

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

The war on women continues, and some will die. The Trump admin announced on Tuesday that it would revoke guidance to the nation’s hospitals that directed them to provide emergency abortions for women when they are necessary to stabilize their medical condition. apnews.com/article/abor...

Harvard researcher Dr Sarah Fortune was only two years away from creating a vaccine that could have saved the 1.25 million people killed each year by tuberculosis. But last month, she received a letter telling her that the $60 million grant funding her research was being halted by President Trump.

During the leadup to the Civil War, slave patrols ran amok in the North, hunting runaway slaves. The law protected them as they ran roughshod over people's rights. What's happening now seems similar to me.
