i cannot believe we are into year 2 of the groyper regime, the camps are open and the state is revoking id's, and we are still getting "oppressed minorities are kinda rude on the internet :/" hand-wringing
yeah we're a little tense right now, believe it or not. fucking shut the fuck up about it
“Is Zendaya even Meechee?!?” has been rattling around my head for days.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
That is an A+ fuzzy tummy.
EDDIE.
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.
Free them all
NOTE TO ALL NAZIS, FASCISTS, AND KANSMEN You delight, So it would seem, At making mince-meat Of my dream. If you keep on, Before you're through, I'll make mince-meat Out of you.
Langston Hughes (1943)
I carded someone at my bar tonight who had the AUDACITY to be born in 2004. The sheer gall!
The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it
Closed tomorrow. Solidarity forever. Fuck 🧊
Particularly galling considering his first feature was about a computational model unraveling a person’s grasp on reality.
Speaking of zines & whistles, we’re doing a Do-a-Thing day at my bar on Thursday (in LA), would love a signal boost!

Boromir from the movie The Fellow ship of the rings thinking out loud about the one ring, with the caption "Perhaps we could give the ring better training."
Man ponders if he is still a good person if helping others benefits him. The universe answers and tells him: 'Be kind, I don't care why'
The Feds never left Los Angeles. Don’t forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs.
Keep fighting. Hold the line.
Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me.
It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.
Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Nobody reads these, but it felt good.
I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.
1. ICE should not exist. It is a burden morally and financially.
2. QR codes are easily damaged with markers.
3. Many people do not possess a smart phone.
4. ICE will cover codes as police do with badge numbers.
5. QR codes are nearly impossible to scan while in motion.
6. You ain't slick.
That first photo is a gut punch. A bunch of heavily armed goons too scared to show their faces bullying a scared kid with the full force of the federal government behind them.
If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?
ICE just reported its fourth in-custody death of 2026. It’s only January 10.
