This is what life is like being Black. Your death isn't even a whisper to anyone bit your peoplep

Actually a great use of an LLM— to not-listen to manosphere podcasts at scale

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

In 5 years, they've vaccinated *billions* of people. That is beyond our parents' wildest dreams, let alone our grandparents. I am not quite 50 and it blows my mind... it's the stuff of science fiction. We could have a different world if we stop letting the worst of us run and control everything.

Party that railed against participation trophies gives its leader a participation trophy everyday

It turns out that the only thing standing between us and a version of the pentagon that closes airspace to shoot down party balloons were those diversity trainings at work

If you want AI proliferation, you must support Universal Basic Income. Otherwise, your ethics are compromised. If we gave everyone subsistence, no, we wouldn't have a lazy society. There's no limit to what people might do if their basic needs were met... we'd have less peril and more innovation.

Its like some people don't even know what social media is for

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

sometimes, if you’re up early enough, you can hear them turn the birds on

Mejia told Axios that when Democrats try to meet Trump "in the middle ... you're kind of falling into this trap of accepting egregious behavior because it seems like it's halfway to where they're at, when they're all the way to crazy." www.axios.com/2026/02/11/a...

Marsupial Alert 🚨

never wanted to be a shapeshifter more than when I was a rhombus because FUCK RHOMBUSES

Kid Rock claiming Bad Bunny only got the Super Bowl because of DEI, while Rock cancels tour dates and Bad Bunny sells out stadiums, is the perfect metaphor for the oblivious, jealous conceit of white grievance.

If you're not from Chicago, you might not be aware that ICE attempted to murder a person doing ICE monitoring, long before the murders in Minneapolis. She survived being shot 5 times. She's taking them to court. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shootin...

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

The PM of England is trying to hang onto his job- people are outraged that he had unknowingly appointed a person with a connection to Epstein. King Charles is supporting an investigation into his own brother. That how toxic Epstein is- in normal places We here are also outraged. But Trump is not

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT! You can buy whistles from us now! I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK! thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4449...

A little update to this. A source emailed me to say they'd used an industry tool to look up Coral Hart's sales and they totaled only 37 copies for the books under that pen name. So, yeah I do not believe the six figures on 50k sales the NYT reported.

900,000 times I can forgive, but

Since it reopened in March 2025, the ICE family detention center in Dilley, Texas, has held around 3,500 people, with more than half of them being children. https://to.pbs.org/400Zq9A

Those who have been kidnapped and have since then been released report a lack of medical attention, the air conditioner being blasted in the middle of the night, clogged bathrooms, and having to sleep on concrete floors with tin foil “blankets” at the Whipple Building. 2/

Shocked to learn that TPUSA paid bots to increase the size of the "views" for Klanchella. Fascists are always on the up and up.

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

Jake Paul v Andrew Tate bout WHEN (they both die by somehow punching their own faces in without ever touching the other guy on account of how touching other guys is gay)

Softer tone.

"[W]e can't move forward from these endless cycles of abuse until we pay attention to victims, empower them to speak up and set agendas, and support them in recovering and thriving after abuse. Right now, we're doing the opposite of all of those things."

I've never gotten such perfect smol muppet owling beak on beak action in my life so far, and it was taken from over 500 feet away, in 84 degree heat, on top of asphalt, facing the sun! Really psyched for baby owl season 2026! 🪶 🐣

Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extras—often literally—that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s. They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts www.404media.co/watch-404-me...

Honored to have the support of @abbystein.bsky.social & @martigcummings.bsky.social two bold leaders and lifelong advocates for trans and queer communities. As others turn their backs, we’re building a sanctuary in NYC—rooted in dignity, joy, and justice for all.

I have appreciated Amanda’s efforts here so I’m disappointed she’s wrapping things up by spreading misinformation. I can assure you as someone whose neighborhood has been crawling with ICE in recent days that we are not in the “aftermath” of anything.

ethics professor here, can confirm

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...
