well this inspires confidence in a fair investigation.
quote pulled from KGW8 article: ""n a tweet, FBI Portland said it was the lead agency investigating an "agent involved shooting" involving "Customs and Border Patrol" officers — referring either to Border Patrol or the overarching agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection — and that two people were wounded. They later deleted the tweet. FBI agents could be seen Thursday afternoon at the scene on East Burnside, where Portland police found the two injured people.""

No One should open the door to these thugs UNLESS they have a valid and accurate Judicial Warrant, not one of their bogus self issued Administrative Warrants
A flyer with a quick rundown of the difference between a Legit Judicial warrant and an Administrative Warrant. Only the first one, if accurate in it's detail allows entrance into your private home. The Text above samples of both warrants reads: A WARNING: It is very rare that ICE would be able to obtain a judicial warrant. ICE agents sometimes present a document that says "warrant" on it but is not a judicial warrant. In order to be prepared, here's how to know the difference! ADMINISTRATNE WARRANT DOES NOT ALLOW ICE ENTRY 1. May have" U.S.D of Homeland Security at the top 2. Signed by an ICE agent or supervisor NOT by a judge JUDICIAL WARRANT DOES ALLOW ICE ENTRY 3.lssued by a court 4. Must have you, name and address spelled correctly 5. MuSI be signed by a JUDGE this text is above two photos of the two kinds of warrants. There is a big X through the Administrative Warrant

I didn’t want to be caught on its camera, but I wanted to leave a note along these lines:
Text of the note I was too chickenshit to put in the cybertruck window: As a Jewish refugee from the same part of the world as your partner, who was raised by grandparents who survived the holocaust and fought against Nazis, I have one question for you: WHY DID YOU BUY A PENIS MOBILE FROM A KNOWN NAZI? Please *laminate* your reply and place it in your windshield.

One lives kitty corner from me and posted the most insane sign in their window in response to someone writing “Nazi” in the dust on their car
Close-up of the passenger side window of a cyber truck. There was a note taped up inside the window. (Prayer hand emoji) Please consider before vandalizing and performing acts of hate: (star of David emoji) I am 1/2 Jewish and my decade long queer partner is a ua Ukrainian Jew. My family has a recognized and verifiable history of resisting and fighting against actual Nazis and we both have family that survived the holocaust. (Peace sign emoji) If you would like to peacefully discuss your perspective to myself or my partner we will make ourselves available. Please leave your contact info and we will be in touch. (Prayer hand emoji) Please think twice before performing acts of hate. Have a wonderful peaceful day!

Arguing that ALT text on an image, that you have to actively click on to see, is muddying up a feed is actually the same as arguing against cc on TV; you have to actively engage the cc on your TV if you wanna see it as well.

Anyway, arguing in bad faith gets a block.
Screenshot of Captain Obvious (he uses a Klingon as an avatar) reply: “Captain Obvious @centersende... • 6h → Replied to Dr. Johnathan Flowers, Bise... Arguing about blue sky's feed being muddled up w/ regular alt-text related posts = being against CC on tv? What kind of alt-logic is that for a Dr? Yikes.”

I think they had similar thoughts in 1856.
Text from history.com “The caning of Charles Sumner is probably the most famous violent attack in Congress, but it is far from the only one. In the three decades leading up to the Civil War, there were more than 70 violent incidents between congressmen, writes Yale history professor Joanne B. Freeman in The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to the Civil War. It was a time of heightened tensions, especially over slavery-itself a violent institution that would drive the nation to a bloody war.” The section of the passage highlighted in blue: “In the three decades leading up to the Civil War, there were more than 70 violent incidents between congressmen” A portrait of the caning of Senator Charles Sumner by Congressman Preston Brooks in the Senate chamber while onlookers either stare and concern or cheer glee. The main action is grounded with Sumner on the ground and Brooks with his cane ready to strike him again. The onlookers are in the background and in a lighter ink tone. Text on the bottom of the illustration says: SOUTHERN CHIVALRY __ ARGUMENT VERSUS CLUB’S

Merry equinox everybody!
A poster for wicked on a New York City bus kiosk. It’s been altered there’s a thought bubble coming out of elphelba’s mouth: “ if you see ice” Another smaller thought bubble below that : “ join ice watch” And even smaller thought Bubble below that : “!” Then there are three strips of black text over what looks like could be white paint: “NYC ICE HOTLINE” “CALL OR TEXT” “229-304-8720”

Great, they’re giving them a quota. I guess I should pack my bags now.
Passage pulled from the New York Times article: “The guidance, issued on Tuesday to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices, asks that they "supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month" in the 2026 fiscal year. If the cases are successful, it would represent a massive escalation of denaturalization in the modern era, experts said. By comparison, between 2017 and this year to date, there had been just over 120 cases filed, according to the Justice Department. One sentence is high : “supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month" in the 2026 fiscal year”

I saved it for posterity. The comments were filled with goys going “ew, grease.” And Jews responding with “it’s Hanukkah. The grease is the point, you ignoramus.”
The caption reads “Trump is throwing another lavish party at the White House tonight. Here is one of the tables full of food for his guests..” A photo of a crowded room in the White House with a couple of candle abras that are not menorahs on the table. There are some men with yarmulke‘s visible, the spread doesn’t look particularly a lavish,. The long table is filled with different kinds of latkes, and probably something else that my crappy vision can’t see. a few dishes of sour cream and applesauce are visible. In the foreground, you see a hand reaching into a big round metal serving dish filled with latkes. I am told that that hand is probably not bare handing, We just can’t see the tongues that are at a weird angle.

Given that, it may feel like justified revenge to use Vance's identity against him. But it's self-defeating. Setting up a norm whereby anyone who says they have been poor is going to be means-tested by viral dogpile is bad and hurts people with a lot less privilege and power than J.D. Vance. The same goes for setting up norms where you police the identities of migrants. That's why I think it's best to focus on Vance's policies rather than litigating his identity. Clarence Thomas also grew up quite poor-poorer than Vance, in most respects—and he's a horrible person. It happens. Sometimes experiencing hardship leads you to compassion and solidarity; sometimes it leads you to resentment and a hatred of those you believe should always have been beneath you. People are complicated; how they process their experiences and identities is complicated. J.D. Vance has embraced the simplicity of bigotry. For him, anyone who suffers is weak and immoral and deserves it. He pushes that lie not because he never suffered himself, but because, whatever his past, the identity that for him is ascendant right now is wealthy, white, racist shithead.

WOOOHOOO! Preordered! Set the DeLorean to the 90s, I'm ready to go back in time with you, friend! So glad and grateful that your brilliant self is in my life.
Cover art for Hugh Ryan's upcoming Book - My Bad, a personal history of the queer 90s and Beyond. with a link button to preorder from bookshop the blurb reads: Historian Hugh Ryan is back, baby! The author of When Brooklyn Was Queer and The Women's House of Detention is now writing about the 1990s: think globalization, the dot com boom, and AOL chatrooms. The rise of the internet affected queer life, activism, and visibility. That visibility was a double-edged sword - on one hand, it gave so many queer people a window into possibility, and on the other hand, it gave rise to backlash. Blending his excellent historical writing with personal experience, Ryan's newest

This is hibernation season. Even the young kitty is sleeping slightly more between fleetfooted leaps around the apartment. The other day both cats realised at the same time that I was sitting on my heating pad.
