I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

I created this rebel design, representing the Alaska state bird, the Big Dipper and the North Star, to stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and with everyone who is protesting and standing up for our constitutional rights. Profits go to ACLU and NARF.

Meet the Alaska Student Arrested for Eating an AI Art Exhibit A conversation with Graham Granger, whose combination of protest and performance art spread beyond campus. “AI chews up and spits out art made by other people.”

Hometown hero.

This gallery is next to my workplace, so I walk past every day and have seen the exhibit. The politest thing I can say is, "I don't get it" — but TBH it seems massively unimpressive. A supposed artist used an environmentally lethal plagiarism-and-regurgitation engine to produce THIS?

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

This is an image of a federal agent shooting chemical munitions at a crowd at point blank range in Minneapolis on the day Renee Good was executed

Whatever your feelings on law enforcement, understand they don't apply here whatsoever because ICE categorically *has nothing to do with law enforcement*

Bogs are the Best

Multiple explosions in Caracas, Venezuela.

No to pointless foreign wars and bloodshed.

Good morning and happy New Year's Eve to everyone. Time zones are so weird. Australia is already in 2026. Europe is still in 2025. And the United States is in 1933.

So cute! I love them!

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to: 1) infringe our rights 2) terrorize our communities 3) disappear legal residents 4) smash into cars & private homes 5) tackle & detain lawmakers indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

The sheer disregard shown by this regime for the humanity of trans kids and their families is breathtakingly cruel. The Dr. Oz-run Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed two rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans.

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Making new colorways means taking time to get to know them. How do they look in the pot vs washing and hanging to dry. And then how will they knit (or crochet) up?

Also working these on a new base. I love a thick single ply.
