It was good to march with the local letter carrier union down Lake Street between two post offices to support their ICE off postal property demand. It was a good group of people for a morning that never got above zero.

"For the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71 percent believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate."

When the capitalism is capitalisming

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

The best thing about American culture war exporters is their literal inability to find places outside the U.S on a map

SNL used AI art tonight, multiple times. Booooooo.

I love living in the contemporary USA, it's like having a concussion or a low-grade fever constantly

It's called Mastodon because your entire network can go extinct due to man-made externalities Haw haw! Haw haw haw! Welcome to planet comedy! Population ME!

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind

The process of shrinking the gap between your values and actions is a lifetime journey.

This year has been a clinic in the reality that lots of people with good analysis don't have actual ideas about what people should do.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked. They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them. They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

Imagine writing a first person story about a secret affair with a member of the Kennedy Family who is currently one of the most powerful people in the country and not being able to sell a book about it to Americans

Most profound writing I read in 2026 was "The Emotional Labor Behind AI Intimacy" by a Nairobi man who dreamed of working in air traffic control but instead winds up sexting & chatting w ppl who think they're talking to AI (while AI trains on him). 16 pages & free - READ IT data-workers.org/michael/

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force news.sky.com/story/us-pla...

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

yeaaaaah he’s gonna switch I think.

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

it’s not just AI slop: they’re breaking shit constantly now since the latest update, random things will crash Explorer and my taskbar will restart, Discord kept freezing until I turned off notifications, and trying to scroll in Chrome with some games alt-tabbed is a glitchy mess

I've known Matt DeMateo for almost 20 years and I am so glad to see the work of New Life Centers uplifted: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/o... - Matt is the real deal and he would be the first to refuse to be pedestaled. But he really is a singular human being. Chicago is lucky to have him.

🤔Newsome literally had Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, and Michael Savage, on his podcast. That's not a stand against fascism. At least, not an effective one. He's chasing "independent" voters, not fighting fascism. Good luck to him in that endeavour. Let me know how that works out for him.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

In a back channeled "offer" to the International Criminal Court, the United States proposed dropping sanctions on ICC officials if the Court •Dropped charges on Israeli officials and pledged not to indict anymore •Stopped investigating crimes in Afghanistan •Amended the ICC treaty the ICC said: no

If I attempted an insurrection & the administration after me not only failed to enact consequences but also allowed me the opportunity to come into power again I would also learn the lesson that I can do whatever the fuck I want and nobody with power will ever try to stop me.

Trans women to be barred from main Labour women’s conference in 2026

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

Forgot to post here! Asked Mamdani for comment on the anti-ICE mobilization that sabotaged a major ICE raid last wkd. Mamdani described the action as people exercising their free speech, that he looks forward to protecting that right. He has not previously commented on the community defense.
