Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

Wow! Texts are super rare for the Hittites, basically there’s just one archive and it’s 95% lists of prayer sacrifices to mountain gods, so this is really, really exciting!

I made a sky for DOOM using the Gale Crater panorama from Mars that NASA recently released! It felt rather fitting.

We absolutely should be horrified by reports of planned public executions and see them as an overt re-embrace of spectacle lynchings--while also understanding that the story of the "modern" death penalty in this country is inextricable from that history, rooted in racial violence & white supremacy.

Alabama’s Lynching Memorial and the Legacy of Racial Terror in the South

At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, the historical link between lynching and the death penalty is hard to miss.

“Heinrich said Elgin Community College staff began to cover the cameras using black trash bags and zip ties so that they would not be able to capture footage. But workers in an unmarked vehicle, which Heinrich assumed belonged to Flock, repeatedly removed the coverings.”

“Elgin Community College staff notified Flock in October 2025 that they wanted to cancel their contract and have the cameras taken down. Within a day, Heinrich said, Flock rejected the request and refused to uninstall the equipment on the basis that the company had not breached their agreement.”

To protect immigrant students, a Chicago-area college told Flock to remove its cameras. The company refused.

Applications for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — have dipped to longtime lows. “While workers searching for their first job ... are having a hard time, those already in work have remarkably good job security,” one economist said.

PLEASE share. I cannot get any donations (haven't got any in 2 weeks) and I cannot hold a normal job due to my disability. My family is constantly abusive to me over my inability to earn my keep. Please help me. I dropped dropped my prices by 60%. You don't have to commission me, just share.

Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned. The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet. Cowards.

Democrat-led Arizona, Virginia Quietly End Medicaid Coverage of Care for Trans Youth, Acquiescing to Trump Demands

The policy changes, which go into effect on October 13th, see Arizona and Virginia join Kansas as states where Democrats have needlessly opted to restrict Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care.

I do not want ICE. I want universally accessible paths to citizenship. I don't want more police. I'd rather reallocate funding to preventing crime from happening by giving people Enough. I don't want the death penalty. Two wrongs still don't make a right. I hate this timeline.

I reserved the room for another week starting tomorrow, and I’m about $70 short of the $420 (ha) to cover all of it, and I’ll still need food and such, sadly(?). If you have giant wads of cash burning a hole in your Venmo, would you please consider making my day a little brighter and less homeless?

There’s already video of some NYPD helping ICE leave after the shooting and the role of the police in aiding these incidents has to be addressed.

i get all emotional about what a beautiful magical world we find ourselves in and with just how impressive and amazing humans can manage to be when we aren't busy being massive fucking wads all the time

I'm sure things like this happened at times during "don't ask, don't tell," but it seems rather notable that the panel did so here and quickly, did so explicitly and in writing, and did so in this environment — both as in this administration and as in this broader anti-trans moment.

Been at least five minutes since I last "woke-scolded" anyone, so, hey, ICE agents, cops, and other people who shit up life for everyone by way of their ignorant bullshit are bad, but if they don't sexually appeal to you, whether because of body size, shape, or whatever metric, that is about you.

Whoa. That’s an Overton Shift.

Seriously, please don't be too shy or polite to ask for ICE whistles if you need them, especially in SoCal. A bunch of us have stockpiles all ready to go in case of surges, if you have the ability to pass them out, we have the whistles!
