Do not let them lull you into compromise.

Getting rid of Bovino isn't enough.
Getting rid of problem agents isn't enough.
Getting rid of ICE isn't enough.

Keep fighting. Lives will continue to depend on it.

A lot of replies and quotes about Black Lives Matter and #MeToo.

And YES. Anything you saw people in power do in response to those movements? Those are the red flags of symbolic compliance.

We need big structural changes that would fundamentally make our society less violent and more equal.

So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough.

And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back.

Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

While we should be thrilled that Minneapolis effectively killed
ICE there with their kindness, we should be ready for them to find a new site that will react as they're clearly hoping we'll react -- with some kind of violence they can use as a pretext for cracking down.

The USA has no allies.

All it has are vassals and victims, and those two categories are becoming less distinct.

it’s for exactly this reason that my library network’s catalog system does not retain patron borrowing data, or even permit the creation of linked “family” library accounts.

the “free” in “free public library” means, among other things, “free from government interference.”
Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."

A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

forget these fucking graphs, start asking people again about what they'd think happen to their lives if they missed two paychecks or if some medical emergency happened to them right now. i think it'd be pretty revealing about why people feel the way they do right now!

This encapsulates my view of transportation options.
one of the undermentioned benefits of public transportation is that bus drivers/train conductors are there to do a job and that job is “move people from point A to point B in a safe and scheduled manner”. they don’t make the same decisions as something thinking “oh god i’m late i’m gonna be fired!”

i am tired of pretending that people who constantly make political choices that are functionally the same as they would make if their only motivation was to preserve their own sexual access to children should be assumed to be doing these things for other reasons
From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

“I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”
