doodlemancy @doodlemancy on cohost (rip): "the script at this point is just company: we're going to do something really extremely bad for our customers and possibly even people who aren't our customers. we think this is good 

an enormous, furious internet mob: we hate this

company: we'd like to clarify our intentions. just to be
clear: we're doing the same thing but we'd like you to
hate it a little less now"

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

Everything has been Very A Lot recently for many reasons, personal and political, and I’ve been busy doing what little I can, and working on getting my IRL community through this together.

Hopefully I’ll have the bandwidth to be on here more often soon.

Y'all, we did it. πŸ’• This crew of chaotic nerds has sent half a million whistles to people requesting them, for free. With your help!

Need whistles?

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Reminder that Steve Buscemi, National Treasure, used to be a firefighter, and when 9-11 happened, he pulled 12 hour volunteer shifts with his old ladder. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

In case you want to know the first thing I remember about him. :)

Re: craftivism; we don't know what's gonna work til we do it. If you had told me last year that 3d printed whistles were going to be the big deal thing that really fucks up the gestapo... i'd have believed you because this moment is very weird BUT I'd have had to stare at the horizon for a minute.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Hey so just wondering if we’ve considered having an economy that *isn’t* almost entirely based around deranged hype-fueled grifts, that’s the only economy I’ve ever experienced but I feel like there’s gotta be a better option

Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is

Two kittens sleeping in a dim room, one on a cat scratcher platform, one on her back between a person's denim clad leg and pillows. Both kittens are orange and white.

Two kittens on a sofa curled up next to a human's legs and hands. One kitten is pale orange and white, the other is more white but has deep orange patches

Fri. Jan. 30 edition: I'm Coreo. I can't work full-time anymore, and I need help paying down my revolving debt. Can you share these kittens and share my GFM link at the same time? Thank you! gofund.me/4903591f2

Two orange and white kittens lounge, one on top of the other, next to a human laying down on a futon. One of the kittens has a paw on the other's shoulder.

Two orange and white kittens lounge with their bodies pointed in opposite directions on a scratching pad, but their faces are both turned toward the camera, and they're both looking alertly and adorably at the camera.

Opinion | Tim Walz: The Un-American Assault on Minnesota Federal officials are lying. My state’s Corrections Department honors all immigration detainers.

Tim Walz did a WSJ op-ed yesterday that I missed.
It debunks key lies:
>ICE said it was too busy invading to pick up child predator in Cottonwood
>MN has 207 non-citizens in jails, not 1360
>"Worst of worst" arrested by MN and turned over before invasion
