I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

A brief timeline cleanse and reminder to stop and take a breath. #Embroidery

On a gray surface against a marble background sits a mini easel holding a square embroidery. A light blue and white river runs diagonally top to bottom, the left side has stitches sand and a pile of driftwood, the right brown grass and scattered shrubbery.

The same embroidery, in the dark, the river and some of the sand on the left glow in the dark.

In the 90's, there was one random Anne Rice or Dean Koontz within 3 meters of you, no matter where you were. They were what you had nearby to read, so you read em.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

Florida’s first "school chaplain" under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new law isn’t a counselor at all.

He’s a Jan. 6 supporter with extremist views, and he urges parents to avoid public education.

This program is already a disaster.

Florida's first public school chaplain is a Jan. 6 supporter—and a warning to everyone

The appointment of Rev. Jack Martin shows how Florida's chaplain law has become a Trojan horse for Christian Nationalism in public schools

Happy world squid and cuttlefish day!!

Text your friend a squid fact. Watch a video of a cuttlefish doing something cute.
Doodle a squid and then show it to me.

The world is cruel but squid are good.

A giant Australian cuddle fish swims up from the Moy seafloor and looks at the camera. She is red with w shaped curious pupils

Do you carry documents that prove your citizenship everywhere you go? Cause I sure the fuck don't, and to do it would need to carry birth certificate, previous marriage certificate, and name change order to prove the man on my ID is the baby girl on my birth certificate.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.
