- Reposted by KathryneEvery instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

- Reposted by Kathryne1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
- Reposted by Kathryne"we cannot change the Dem party from the inside" we are trying to defeat someone who turned the other major political party in this country into a cult of personality in less than a decade

- Reposted by KathryneA small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case
- Reposted by KathryneNot that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?
- Reposted by KathryneNEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
- Reposted by KathryneFuck em up Gowder!
- Reposted by Kathrynewelp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up
- Reposted by KathryneAOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.
- Reposted by KathryneSwear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
- Reposted by Kathryne(seen a bunch of people sharing this/talking in general about how "normal" Mamdani is but imo this doesn't show a normal person, but an *exceptionally* skilled communicator - a normal person wouldn't react like that to having a speech interrupted by a child! give him his due!)
- Reposted by KathryneThe entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...
- Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
- I had a similar moment with David Letterman on 6th Ave. Saw him coming, recognised him but could not place him, wracked my brains to remember who he was as he was clearly an acquaintance and about to stop and chat. Realised who it was right after he caught my eye, smiled, nodded, and kept walking.
- Reposted by Kathryneembarrass the administration and they will do everything in their power to ruin your life, even if the embarrassment is the result of their own cruel overreach vicious sadistic bullies all the way down
- Reposted by KathryneYou have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.
- Reposted by Kathrynewhen I was in high school I had male teachers in their 30s who I totally thought I was adult peer friends with. when I was in my 30s and was a high school youth group leader I was like “those are not my friends, those are children.” that’s when I realized those men just had bad boundaries

- Reposted by Kathryneprobably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"
- @wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him
- Reposted by KathryneOne of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

- Reposted by Kathrynesomething I remember from the big tech layoffs of a couple years ago is seeing coworkers with excellent performance reviews - even some who had literally just been promoted - getting thrown overboard for completely opaque reasons and realizing that was part of the point
- At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.
- I remember people teasing my 20YO boyfriend about this when I was 17. In 1993.
- the thing is that "age of consent guy" was a very specific, well known, risible, and widely scorned type of guy well before metoo. knowledge of age of consent laws has been a creepy tell for as long as i've been alive. that this wasn't considered weird in elite circles doesn't change broader reality
- Reposted by Kathrynethe biden border bill and choosing to run on a “border patrol endorsed” piece of legislation should go down as not only cowardly and backward thinking but one of the worst strategic political decisions by democrats in recent memory, everyone involved should be out of politics forever
- Reposted by KathryneRetweeting this again, because I cannot overemphasize HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS. And how many MORE people signed up after each murder. I can't remember who around here said that they had learned something new in 2026, which was that it turns out there is something they are willing to die for. That.
- Reposted by Kathryne‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
- Reposted by KathryneThe greatest joy in my life as an academic is being asked this type of question
- Reposted by KathryneThe only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

- Reposted by KathryneSir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by KathrynePeople gotta fuckin stop doin this. I won't vote for Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom will lose. I'm saying it now so y'all have time to listen, tho you never do. But nah I ain't voting for diet fascism just because he has a D. Candidates have to do what we want to get elected, there's no fealty here.
- Reposted by Kathrynedrove my 8yo to music lessons. passed a different "ICE kidnapped someone here" sign i hadn't seen before. that's two in one afternoon on routes i happened to travel today. nothing has changed. it's all still happening. relentless awfulness.
- Reposted by KathryneAll of which is not to say they won't do it. They might! Some of them are *very* stupid! So we should be prepared. Sign up to be an official polling worker or watcher - they *always* need more volunteers - so you can be the one with that cell camera blasting out to the world if they try something.
- Reposted by KathryneI understand folks are scared but I want you to think about the mechanics of this. There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate. Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?
- i think people should consider the extent to which bannon, a known bullshit artist, knows that you will see this and panic. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Reposted by KathryneThe GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.
- Reposted by KathryneAs always, the answer to "what should I do if I'm worried about Rs loudly announcing their aspirations to try & ratfuck elections?" is go volunteer to be a poll worker or an elections observer. That is, if you actually want to so something beyond just wallowing in despair & untreated anxiety online
- Reposted by KathryneImmigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void. Here’s the Cato Institute report: www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...
- Reposted by Kathryneagain, the hogs do not know that they are playing with fire
- Was talking to a random nice older woman from East Isles last night and ICE came up. She then detailed, totally free of irony, her plan for reforming US government, which included the simultaneous mass execution of every leading member of the Trump administration, many of whom were mentioned by name
- Reposted by KathryneListen you can choose despair I’m not your parent But you can also be sad, discouraged, feel defeated, and none of that ultimately precludes hope. Indeed it helps!

- Reposted by KathryneSome people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
- Reposted by Kathryneagain we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
- Reposted by KathryneRFK, jr. is the worst person you ever met at a party in california, patel is the worst guy you ever encountered at the gym, bondi is the worst person you ever met at church, bessent is the worst person you have ever met at a conference, all these people are the worst versions of every stereotype
- Reposted by KathryneThey have achieved 10 to 1 force superority over ICE
- Reposted by KathryneI think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
- “If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- Reposted by KathryneThe behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do
