- Reposted by KerriSo let me get this straight... The federal government of the United States of America arrested a journalist for....uh....reporting... but didn't arrest two of their own who clearly gunned down innocent American citizens in broad daylight in front of the whole world?
- Reposted by KerriIt's a good day to call your Senators and tell them that you are watching and that you will not forget what they do, or fail to do.

- Reposted by KerriYou have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

- This is just one of many reasons I attended my first Long Island DSA meeting today. They're doing wonderful work both within the community and outside it and I look forward to getting involved. Also they have Zoom participation for their in-person meetings, which is awesome!

- Reposted by KerriABOLISH ICE BEFORE THEY KILL AGAIN.
- Reposted by KerriYet another grim day as the regime has murdered yet another person in cold blood and broad daylight (and uncounted more in cold blood but behind locked doors). I have no useful commentary, but I do have Bob Marley. #AICouldNever www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhJ0...

- Reposted by KerriSo far the only people interacting with this call to heel for white people (and a challenge to unpack their proximity to whiteness) are... non-white and/or queer.
- Reposted by KerriIt's (official) book release day! Come pick up INSIDE THREAT, the sixth Rachel Peng book! This book might be haunted, but in a way of my own making which doesn't transfer at ownership. Links are here kbspangler.com/books/ #book #books #scifi #BookSky
- Reposted by Kerri50 years ago tonight, John Weidman and Stephen Sondheim's Pacific Overtures opened on Broadway at the Winter Garden for a 193 performance run. Here's the legendary "Someone in a Tree" from that performance: soundcloud.com/theatreafici...
- Reposted by KerriThere's stiff competition, but the 1 tech enshittification emanation I dislike the most is, I think, the near-demise of paying once for something then owning it. Give me a piece of tech with onboard software, give me a game, give me an email client. Charge me once, give a couple of years of support.
- Reposted by KerriI just filled this out and boy do I have strong opinions about how much I do not need "AI" on my Discord experience.

- Reposted by KerriRead on. The end made me cry.
- Reposted by KerriI actually think that the regime may have specifically waited to pull all of this insanity specifically until after the new year started, specifically to try and immediately shut down any notion of a free start and make people feel even more hopeless. Don't let it work. Seize your day, every day.
- Reposted by KerriPSA: trigger warning - there is a video going around that shows #ICE firing a weapon into a vehicle after it has disengaged, allegedly killing someone. Although it is important for people to bear witness, you DO NOT HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO IF IT WILL HARM YOU.
- Reposted by KerriNever forget, "boots on the ground," is shitweasel politic-talk for "your uniformed family members in harm's way." They can substitute leather for flesh and blood in the press room, but know what it is really.
- Reposted by KerriI really don’t like this framing that we shouldn’t care about Venezuela and should stay laser focused on the Epstein Files. Like, you do not need to pit South American lives against survivors of horrific sexual abuse. You just don’t. Lots of us have the capacity to care about all of it.
- Reposted by KerriThis is incredibly important. Foreign invasion destabilises countries. Bad regimes get replaced by worse ones. Populations get brutalised and radicalised. Did none of these ghouls learn anything from Afghanistan?
- Reposted by KerriSo can someone invade our country and arrest our plainly criminal president? Maybe before the end of the month? Honestly whatever works for y’all’s schedule.
- Reposted by KerriNope, Trump's invasion/regime change/occupation of Venezuela isn't an extension of the Monroe Doctrine. That's just a bull crap rationale. This is straight up imperialism. They can sugar coat it all they want but we're not falling for it.
- Reposted by KerriHe was absolutely fucking terrible and two of the first things the US will do is crush the people and organizations who were resisting him and put in someone worse.
- Reposted by KerriI just think it's neat that bad leaders who must be stopped at all costs only live in countries with big oil reserves
- Reposted by KerriWhether you're in Chicago or Caracas or Kyiv, people should have freedom from military invasion whether the aggressor is foreign or domestic. But once again this regime is destroying lives to seize more power & hand more money to its billionaire backers.
- Reposted by KerriI don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

- Reposted by KerriAt this point there is enough material for five doctoral dissertations on how these guys willfully misinterpret music
- Reposted by KerriAnd to the “yes they are the same” types who inevitably pop up: Would a Harris admin have done this? No. Abolished USAID? No. Deployed ICE/CBP as an army? No. DOGE? No. Demand voting data? No. Gut vaccines? No. And on and on and on. You know this. Just don’t want to own it.
- Reposted by KerriFun fact—Venezuela oil reserves are the largest in the world—larger than all Middle East countries…. And just today post invasion, Trump says U.S. oil companies will go into Venezuela and 'start making money for the country'. That was the plan all along.
- Reposted by KerriPeople are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
- Reposted by KerriMaduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.
- Reposted by KerriCongress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump. And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine. We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.
- Reposted by KerriI'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.
- Reposted by KerriTonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
- Reposted by KerriThe world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.
- Reposted by KerriThe UN should pull out of New York in protest. Move to Geneva completely.
- Reposted by KerriThe members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video
- Seconded. This wonderful newsletter's been making my Fridays a little brighter since 2016, introducing me to so many fics and fandoms I might never have discovered on my own. Happy Anniversary Elizabeth and Gav!
- Happy 10th anniversary to The Rec Center! My fannish life has been greatly enriched by this newsletter from @elizabethminkel.bsky.social and @gavia.bsky.social! Thank you both for such a labor of love for fandom and fan culture.
- Reposted by KerriWe could have had health care subsidies but Trump thought spending that money on a pointless war would make him feel like more of a man.
- Reposted by KerriOur reps have decided to take a 4 year nap and wait Trump out until his reign is over which is incredibly stupid as he is rapidly coming unglued WHILE realizing he can do whatever he wants because no one will stop him. Enough! Impeach and remove!
- Reposted by KerriAnyone who voted for Trump is a fool or a monster, and, more broadly, anyone who refused to vote for Harris should be ashamed. I know, I know, water wet, fork found in kitchen, day ending in Y.
- Reposted by KerriJust woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.
- Reposted by KerriIt’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
- Reposted by KerriThe Constitution is very clear: War powers belong to Congress, not the White House. Contact your senators and demand that they check the regime’s lawless violence — or there’s no telling where this will end.

- Reposted by KerriEmail, call, and yell at your reps online to demand they end this illegal war. Stopping the violence is priority #1.
