I know there is SO MUCH happening right now, but Ukraine is still fighting. Please donate, if you can, to help them get some drone detectors.

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

at a certain point the idea of putting all those layers back on is just too exhausting, so you're like, fuck it, a sweatshirt and these slippers will suffice
this is almost always a bad call

There's a real thing going on where people refuse to believe all this isn't hired out. Firstly I believe this is astroturfed, but secondly I believe that they are, yet again, victims of their own misogyny. The Wine Moms could each individually set this up in an hour.

The snow started a couple of hours ago, and according to the forecast, should stop in about...two days, after at least 36 inches have accumulated. Happy winter, everyone!

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do

The foster dog is on a poop strike. I do not blame her: if I had to poop outside and it was -15 degrees F (without windchill), I too would simply hold it forever.

We’ve been living inside a 5 alarm fire for a decade. Fighting fascism is the most important thing any of us will ever do.
But if you don’t allow yourself to carve out a few minutes a day for joy or simple pleasures you’re not gonna make it.

Will Stancil has maxxed out his "time to stop talking about it, time to start BEING about it" powers, and I don't care if you find him annoying, if you aren't doing the same thing, you can have a very solid seat.
Sure Will Stancil might be "outside", "doing his best within his limited means to interfere with ICE operations" but that pales in comparison to my strategy for fighting fascism: staying inside and posting about how much I dislike Will Stancil and find him annoying.

Holy shit. HOLY shit. If you're not up to date on your war crimes, this is one that the military courts actually take very seriously. It is a big deal.
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
