horrifying reminder: if you hate what happened with tiktok this week, the whole internet could be like that because there are multiple bills in congress atm to repeal section 230. plz go yell at your senators to not do that.

"They are forcing the public, and Supreme Court Justices, to have to rely solely on the Government’s inaccurate version of events. This Court has the power to shed light on the truth of what happened on October 4."
NEW: Marimar Martinez, the woman shot by Border Patrol in Chicago only to be criminally charged (and cleared), seeks to modify a court order so she can "disclose case materials … to the public."

Her atty, Chris Parente, points to events in Minneapolis as well as writings by Justice Samuel Alito:

I’m learning to paint with acrylic paints and battling color theory and the fast drying time is keeping me sane. It’s not exactly relaxing but it is distracting in the best way.

Wandering in nature and focusing on art projects are like the most important things for my brain-goodness right now.

A man came through the train car and judged all our shoes. My tan snow boots were judged to be “not dope” 😂😔😖

No late fees were waived but they let me change my address for free hahaha never been so happy to get a sticker
I learned about this issue in September and have actively been trying to fix it ever since. When they were like why did you wait so long? I didn’t know! The notices didn’t reach me because we moved and updated address can’t go through until it’s resolved. hoping they’ll waive some of the late fees😭

Does the field of philosophy have a code of professional ethics? If not, I think y'all need to get on that, stat.

George "Iceberg" Miller finds daily cold-weather jumps into Lake Michigan help overcome fear and kick start his happy chemicals. He added, “I want Chicagoans, I want the Midwest, I want people to embrace winter, rather than complain about it.”

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

This reminds me of the ice storm in 1994 where I fled to New Orleans with my soon to be husband after my fish froze to death. We barely made it out of Ewok village (iykyk but nobody here will get this bc those little apartments are long gone) before trees blocked the exit ñ. Had barely…

I have a lot of compassion for Gisele tbh
John Fetterman’s wife Gisele posted this an hour ago in response to yesterday’s events but I haven’t seen the senator say anything publicly or issue any statements.

Friends, I’m sorry to bring more sad news to the timeline, but if you knew Panda Revolt, I want to let you know he passed away yesterday. He will be missed. #NOLASky #NOLATwitter

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

lmao the dotted line looks like she's whispering it
Over on Threads, @slotkin.senate.gov wrote that she's going to vote against the DHS funding bill (good!), but set it up as a self-deleting ghost post that goes away after 24 hours (kind of weird, tbh)

This is a conversation for later, but after this disaster is over, let’s destroy the idea that rural conservatives are the lone authentic expression of American identity.

The people keeping this country from ruin are non-white urbanites, lesbian moms, bisexuals with stick & poke tattoos of frogs.
remember when an armed group of right-wing insurgents seized and occupied federal land for weeks and only one of them got shot after literally charging at an officer with his handgun drawn?

This is Minneapolis.

Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

Combining that with spending a lot of effort pissing off all the vets from Afghanistan, and in general all NATO allies over the past few weeks is...an interesting strategic manoeuvre...
Killing a VA ICU Nurse seems like a pretty bad move if you don't want to piss off literally everyone.

I will end up watching this via YouTube drag queens taking this bitch apart inch by inch
An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files
