This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I hope we are making you proud, friend I never got to meet.

i guess the good news is donald Trump isn't the president and the bad news is elon musk is and he's worse

Minnesota-based writers: we're looking for culinary pitches centered around immigration stories. Connections between restaurants and overseas hometowns, multigenerational evolution of concepts/menus, etc. all of interest. Aiming to commission a couple longer works. [email protected]

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Well I certainly won’t be flying home on Thursday so I guess I live in Mexico now

hey! are you doomscrolling? Small efforts can still have big impacts. Remember how good it feels to eat something when you're really hungry? The power of someone's encouragement? Or a compliment from a stranger? There are lots of things you can do to help yourself and other people. Keep going.

man i am just straight up not interested in people who will be perfectly okay in the next couple years moaning in public over and over and over again that we’re all cooked and doing nothing else. fuck off man! some of us have things to live for

KY GOV. BESHEAR: “If they eliminated the Department of Education and its funding, that’s half a billion dollars in meals for kids that otherwise might go hungry.”

GOOD JOB MINNESOTA. Keep it up. All the lawsuits.

I need every cis person that follows me to read this and genuinely think about it for a while, and I need them to understand that this is the explicit goal of this administration. If you’re trans, you know the stories like it already; spare yourself.

What fresh hell is this iPhone Gmail update

I feel completely exhausted at the end of every day and I think it’s because my brain right now is like being a computer that has a huge malware program running in the background eating up all the resources without you even realizing it.

Just leaving this here in case you feel like giving Amy a ring

He is on a warpath against USAID, and the cruelty it will unleash is going to be immense. USAID provides emergency aid after natural disasters, tries to improve child health and nutrition, promotes good governance, funds literacy programs and programs that empower women, works on food security, etc.

As a UVA alum - they will not see a penny of my donations or support until they stop this cruel advance compliance. Be principled and stand up for the children in your care. @erininthemorning.com

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

The horrors persist, but I will take joy in watching an absolutely bonkers @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social matchup tonight between the Lunar Owls and Laces. LFG

hey question, is this bad?

last year my dentist had to test how much pain i could feel in a few teeth to see if i needed a root canal she apologized and said "i'm sorry, but the fact that it hurts is a good sign — your nerves are working properly." been thinkin about that a lot this week, as a metaphor

I understand it's scary for us all; but it's vital to remember that 'don't comply in advance' isn't just a slogan, it's a practice. These orders are manifestly illegal and unconstitutional. Acting as if they are not is what will give them power. Trump has issued his writ--now let him enforce it.

[slaps roof of Minnesota] this bad boy can fit so many trans people in it

Pulling out the big guns to try to distract from the news: Raku week on the pottery throw down, aka my favorite week on all of TV

I left my house for two hours to have dinner and no fewer than three catastrophic news stories occurred in that time, so that’s fun

As if 2025 wasn’t cursed enough yet armsout.com

Important Zamboni content @thepwhl.com @pwhlfrost.bsky.social

@pwhlfrost.bsky.social what’s a girl gotta do to get a Sophie Jaques jersey in the merch store?? Pretty please?

The combo of Phee / Diggins-Smith / Gray is just too much fun @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social

The Trump administration has halted disbursement of funds from a program that supplies most of the treatment for HIV in Africa and low-income countries worldwide for at least 90 days. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

"In just under two-and-a-half minutes, Bishop Mariann Budde, fully comfortable in her own skin and righteously firm in Christ’s teachings, did more to challenge Trump than the whole of American political media in the past ten weeks." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/mariann-sp...

After the election, I offered a set of classes called “what’s next,” which made the case for community-building and political agitation at the same time. This Feb/March, I’m offering the next step: A class about how to actually do this “political community building” thing in practice. Should be fun!

I spent the entire morning trying to disable Gemini from my Gmail and finally gave up and installed a browser extension to hide it and my life has improved MEASURABLY

I envision a crowded table with people I love. Food is abundant. Kids are running around. My home is filled to the brim with love and dancing. We live in a society everyone can live this way. wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t...

I think some of y'all might not understand how big of a deal coloring books and cards and crosswords can be for people who are trying to not use substances or get back with their ex or any number of bad habits people do when they have time and nothing to occupy it...

Opening tonight at 7pm! Donations are welcome, bring some snacks or coloring books or decks of cards if you want, they're offering showers so clean underwear in all sizes is super helpful!!

Someone get me an endorsement deal with Weleda Skin Food bc with the weather like this, I am BATHING in it. I even am using two different kinds of it daily. And yet, the horrors persist.
