Happy #FairyFriday, all! This is, I think, my favorite shot of the entire two day session with Waterbear Photography. I love the pose, the sense of motion, and the illusion of flight, in addition to the Waterhouse/pre-raphealite aesthetic.

Joseph speaks to Samuel Bagg about all the ways identities dictate what people see, and how what they choose to believe is based much more on those identities than the evidence in front of them.

Confused as to how Josh Shapiro thinks it is appropriate to compare student protestors to the KKK but inappropriate to compare ICE to the Gestapo

A friend who volunteered for Harris-Walz in PA warned me against doing the same. She said the PA Democratic Party was a misogynistic mess of power hungry, incompetent men.
February 2, 2026 at 2:38 AM
Yup. Sounds like PA.
But NO.

The chair of the state party, I found out later, had fully jumped on the wagon of calling me a crazy person and trying to wreck my reputation every way he could.

And a lot of his allies followed suit.

The Bernie campaign wouldn't deal with him.

The PA Democratic Party chair wouldn't deal with him.

The hotel general manager wouldn't deal with him.

Everyone pretended like it was some serious thing, but no one fucking cared or did a thing.

it’s weird but finding out that the modern trans panic was fabricated by the machinations of a pedophile cabal has actually improved my mental health substantially. if I keep sitting around being depressed all day I’m letting Jeffrey Epstein win, and I will die before I do that

On this issue and others, it's not just Schumer. The average Democratic Senator is way to the right of the average Democrat. And ain't nothing going to change that except winning primaries. This is why primaries aren't just good, they're crucial to the future of the party.
Video of his remarks where he says, verbatim, that one of his jobs as leader is to funnel more aid to Israel

75% of Democratic voters oppose sending Israel more military aid, as do 66% of independents and 60% of Americans overall according to recent polling

Just so there is no doubt where I stand. You can't reform what is inherently broken by design.

We really have come a LONG way in a pretty brief amount of time as a culture on “oh, maybe it’s actually creepy and gross to incessantly perv on teenage girls everywhere all the time.”
there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18

reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011

all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful
I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

🖋️ “Hold DHS Funding Until ICE Is Reformed or Dismantled” hit 1,000 signers!

💬 Text SIGN PEMIIT to 50409
Hold DHS Funding Until ICE Is Reformed or Dismantled
Text SIGN PEMIIT to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to withhold Department of Homeland Security funding until Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is fundamentally reformed or dismantled. Congress has now separated DHS funding from the broader appropriations package, creating a narrow but critical window to impose accountability. That leverage must not be squandered. In recent weeks, federal immigration enforcement has crossed multiple red lines. Immigration agents have killed U.S. citizens and lawfully present residents, followed by official narratives that were quickly contradicted by video, eyewitness accounts, and even DHS’s own preliminary disclosures to Congress. Rather than de-escalating, agents intensified operations, harassed residents and protesters, targeted school zones, and forced entry into sensitive locations. This pattern reflects not isolated misconduct, but systemic failure. At the same time, federal courts have intervened—more than once—ordering DHS to provide basic information about whom it has detained. DHS has missed deadlines and failed to comply. An agency that ignores court orders is not entitled to blank-check funding from a coequal branch of government. Congress must also confront the scale implied by DHS’s funding demands. ICE has already begun expanding detention capacity nationwide, including large warehouse facilities, even as lawmakers debate whether such funding is appropriate. Tens of billions of dollars are being requested for detention infrastructure without a clear explanation of who is being targeted or why such capacity is necessary. If ICE’s mission were truly limited to removing individuals with serious criminal records, existing resources would be sufficient. Instead, reporting shows ICE arresting lawfully present refugees, transporting them across state lines, detaining them without explanation, and releasing them without assistance—while terrorizing families and communities. That is not targeted enforcement; it is indiscriminate and destabilizing. Public opinion is clear. Americans support removing violent offenders, but they overwhelmingly oppose deporting long-settled, law-abiding immigrants, families, refugees, and parents of U.S. citizens. They also reject warrantless home entries, detention without proof, interstate transfers, and the use of force against peaceful protesters. Congress is not acting against the public will by imposing conditions on DHS funding—it is acting in alignment with it. Appropriations are not automatic. They are a constitutional tool for oversight. Congress should refuse to fund ICE as currently structured, roll back recent funding increases, and require enforceable reforms that restore transparency, accountability, and a clearly defined, lawful mission. Until that happens, DHS funding should remain on hold.
