worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
Oh, so they’ve been lying to us?
Saw it twice when the did the theatrical tour last year. SO. GOOD.
I have the DVD.
Which is kinda funny to me, as a person who was ridiculed for my fast growing and bigger feet as a kid.

Worst rendition of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” I’ve ever heard.
What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/
Had a lovely visit to Lucky Tiki in Highland Park last night. Much thanks to the staff for accommodating us, and to @skippercristian for the booze!

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

I do not have time for this shit today.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.
This is awesome
This doesn't impact me at all and yet I'm furious. Diabolical, targeted hate. Full stop. We're failing as a species.
Okay, folks- I know we all have plenty to do, but if you're at all concerned about the White House & historic preservation, please consider submitting public comment on Trump's ballroom project; info in this thread. First, a direct link for submitting written statements: www.ncpc.gov/participate/...
The increase in popularity of the phrase “No Worries” has me wondering- how many people picked it up from Paul Hogan Vs. how many picked it up from Timon & Pumbaa.
Generationally speaking.
Been saying the same for a year.
Dear other Progressives,
California knows Gavin sucks. Listen to us and find another candidate to support in the primaries.
Love, your CA Fam.
the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
Haul his ass into a congressional hearing and nail his dodgy ass to the proverbial wall.
Let it happen. Show those #EpsteinFiles.
Published Jan. 26, 2026 Updated Jan. 29, 2026 Selamawit Mehari, an Eritrean single mother of three, was starting her day when federal agents showed up at her apartment in St. Paul, Minn., on a recent morning. As her 13-year-old son wailed and her older daughter produced paperwork proving her mother was in the United States lawfully, the agents shackled Ms. Mehari and took her away. "They didn't explain anything," recalled her daughter, Yosan, 21, who described the encounter to The New York Times. "We didn't understand. We had done everything right." The next day, chained at the wrists, waist and ankles, Ms. Mehari, 38, was shuffling up the steps of a plane bound for Texas, tears streaming down her face in the frigid wind.
In Minnesota, this policy involved ICE officers arresting refugees who had done EVERYTHING right, then flying them to Texas in chains for interrogation.
Remember, these people had filed every application on time, had done nothing wrong, and were here in the country 100% legally.
