These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

The awesome people at @thetnholler.bsky.social out doing the Lord’s work in our red red state

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Another group betrayed by a president who promised to protect them. For shame.

Honoring Indigenous Peoples Day 🫶

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I just rewatched Reds not long ago. What a fantastic movie, and she was brilliant in that role.

I misjudged the timing on an all-nighter writing a paper and when the deadline came still had three pages of bibliography left to type (it was olden times). I turned in what I had and brought the rest of it to the prof the next day: "I found the originals of these pages in with my photocopy, sorry."

Heartbreaking, horrifying, infuriating

Trump’s tariffs and cutbacks are bankrupting farmers. He thinks they’ll keep supporting him no matter what, but his approval numbers say otherwise.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

You bring beauty to the world, in yourself and in the things you create. That is no small thing.

Pre-ACA, a friend offered to marry my brother for insurance coverage because he had a pre-existing condition and couldn't get insurance. Fortunately he was able to find a job that would cover him—he hated it but stayed there for over a decade to keep his insurance.

Seriously? After deciding against trump, Stephen Miller & a trump admin publicly threaten the judge & while she’s walking the dog, the house is engulfed by fire nearly killing her husband; and only NY Post, Economic Times, & Hindustan Times are reporting on it???

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Absolute hero, still

Happy Socktober! I loved making a couple of pairs from Opal’s Van Gogh yarns—one for my brother with colors from “The Red Vineyards” and one for a friend from “Café Terrace at Night.” #showmeyourknits 🧶

Interesting use of the passive voice you've got there, CNN..

Zodiac killer murders again, challenging legal bounds

*A Republican lawmaker objected to reference to Charlie Kirk holding “often racist and controversial views” in local Alaska news
*The corporate owner took down the story and edited it
*The journalists resigned

This feels like more and more of our media now.

So what happened with that maga guy that shot up the Mormon church does anyone care about that anymore or what

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

This is the truest truth that’s ever been told
