Decided I'm gonna do a fun game this month:

#MakeItAGhostStory

Give me a well-known tale (can be a book, movie, show, or folktale) that's NOT already a ghost story and I will write a spooky microfic!

Feel free to share and write your own too!

Nighttime background with bold text: "Make it a Ghost Story" and smaller "Give me a well-known tale that's NOT a ghost story and I will write a spooky microfic!"

Oriana Korol, a clarinetist with the Unpresidented Brass Band, was arrested after a man and federal agents barreled into band members who were standing across the street from the ICE office and playing the theme from “Ghostbusters.”

I’m going to say it again: members of Congress need to draft articles & talk publicly & loudly about the case for treason. Trump told generals on camera in person: the campaign in U.S. cities is a WAR. The military needs to hear it laid out for them, how serious this is. Write for them, not the GOP.

Betcy Jose @betcy.bsky.social · 6h

"The dearth of military pushback... begs the question of how effectively Trump & Hegseth have cleaned house, rooting out those who might disagree with them. It is unclear if there are senior officers still objecting behind closed doors, or if everyone is keeping silent in order to save their jobs."

My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

Every Friday for the past 19 years, a group of Catholics has prayed the rosary outside an ICE detention facility in Illinois, having largely cordial interactions with the agents. But ICE’s demeanor began to change earlier this year, then shifted dramatically roughly two months ago.

This is why I won't engage with any "red states deserve what they get" blue maga discourse. Look at those two maps. The modern south is gerrymandered and occupied against its citizenry's will and things will only get worse if the supreme court decides what we think they will.

Without Section 2, which has been interpreted to require the creation of majority-minority districts, Republicans could eliminate upward of a dozen Democratic-held districts across the South.

Republicans may not eliminate every Democratic-leaning district that they technically could (more on why later), but the party’s aggressive mid-cycle redistricting suggests they would eliminate enough to obtain a significant structural advantage. It’s not clear whether this would occur by next year’s midterm elections, with a court ruling likely next summer, but the new seats would eventually be enough to make Republicans favored to win the House even if they lost the popular vote by a wide margin.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I love how analysts and governments are beginning to ring an alarm bell of economic crisis 4 times the size of the subprime collapse and Sam Altman is like “who else is horny for computer?”

Lupita Nihongo @otsumamiboy.bsky.social · 1d

I've been quietly suffering ever since I saw Sam Altman use the word 'erotica' this morning.

I've just been occasionally making the kinds of faces he makes naturally.

Authoritarians are unimaginative.

They understand the world through the lens of complete control.

Because they make top-down decisions in a small group, they imagine there is an equivalent (i.e., “Antifa”) leading the opposition.

They can’t fathom it being just everyday people doing random shit.

Was just at school dropoff when all of a sudden a bunch of kids started booing. I thought "Wow, that's rude," and turned around to look...

They were booing a cybertruck.

The kids are all right.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Exactly same. I was on edge during the first admin, and then more relaxed during Biden (though not entirely with... everything) and now it's SOOOOOO much worse even though I have developed more coping mechanisms in the interim. I don't know how to manage this sustained level of stress for... ever???

Husband says my sleepy tea smells like moldy socks. I tell him that's the valerian root, the good stuff. Yum yum

Cat is also obsessed with it because valerian root has similar effects to catnip.

The human body is not built to contain this much rage.

And many of you have been at this level or higher for decades longer than I have.

I wish us all victory and rest.

But fuck this really sucks.
