PseudoPod 992: Chattering Spines
My neighbors smile when they burn. The flames melt the flesh from their bones, revealing the full six inches of sharp spines that brought them here. I swear they sigh in relief. Hell, I would…

Einie passed away IRL on May 26, 2025 at the age of 19.
she chose a spot in the field on a bright, sunny day, curled up in my lap...
and I swear to god she sighed as she died.
this is a fitting tribute to her.
Thank you.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay.
When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?
