We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week.
Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities.
Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

'Sinister Minnesotans' T-Shirt
Show your solidarity with the Sinister Minnesotans refusing to back down from the ICE agents currently polluting their great state with brutality, lawlessness, and an obvious dependence on testosteron...

The funniest shit is that I feel like the huge turnout downtown is almost because of the cold not in spite of it. The fact that it’s -10 degrees out led to just more defiance, like thousands out there saying, it isn’t even that bad out.

JD needs fuck off right out of the solar system. He's not worth the delta-v it would take to send him into the sun. "Sustenance,"my arse.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The concierge at my apartment, so apologetic, told me about the woman who demanded to know who lives in my unit and why they were ordering vulgar blankets. She took a package not addressed to her, opened it, and was offended to find a huge woven blanket that says BITCH DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FUCK

I've been having trouble with crocheting a hexagon jumper. I've taken it apart and put it back together multiple times. Should be easy, just two hexagons like this one seamed together. Been fiddling for a week. There can be consequences for making with a migraine 🧶🇳🇿

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"

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”
He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

All my years writing about rightwing movements, I've been insisting "Look, no matter how bad they are, they don't think of themselves as such. It's not like they're sitting around saying, 'Let's do eeeevil.'" Apologies--I was incorrect.

Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?
