"Some of our fellow Americans may be alarmed that I seem stupid, that I do not know that the largest sector of our GDP, 20%, is in the financial, insurance, real estate sales and leasing industry, which is all cubicles and computer screens. No, what I'm saying is *WOMEN* shouldn't work anymore."

When these fascists say it's okay to kidnap, abuse, and terrorize people because they're "illegal," please think of them saying it's okay to kidnap, abuse, and terrorize people because they have "parking tickets." Same goddamn thing.

Is it the position of ICE that anyone recording video in public is a domestic terrorist?

happening at the same time

It’s really this simple… all we are getting is cops

aw maaaaaaan I *loved* Braid and also that game is so un-selfconsciously emo I would never have guessed this

the woke mob is giving He-man pronouns

(!) Newly-released State Department docs show the Trump-Vance-Rubio admin detained Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi for fake news *initially propelled by Columbia itself* — including that he was yelling at "Jewish bystanders," when what he was actually doing was confronting an antisemitic disruptor.

Wow — Newly-released State Department documents show that the Trump-Vance-Rubio administration literally only abducted Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk because she co-wrote an op-ed urging Tufts to follow student resolutions to acknowledge genocide in Gaza & divest from companies tied to Israel.

The Minnesota strike has made it to the top story on NYT. I am not a knee jerk NYT hater, but imo this is noteworthy given the paper’s relative lack of interest in other recent anti-Trump protest activity

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Back in 2007 Fox News did a segment on how Mr. Rogers, who died in 2003, was "evil" & was the source of many of America's problems. Fun fact: Fred Rogers was a lifelong REPUBLICAN, but he was the sort of old school liberal Republican that Fox News was designed to eliminate. youtu.be/29lmR_357rA?...

This is rhetorical but where the fuuuuuck is the Free Speech crowd that was so concerned about left-wingers saying "hey, maybe don't be an asshole to people who are different from you"

don't put it in your newspaper that i got mad

I know some people are cynical about everything now and just say “eh, what do you expect” at every new low, but really this is just astonishing and outrageous, and I don’t think we should shrug at that www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

love this for her the great thing is this kind of person lacks humility and introspection, so there's very little chance she will course correct

All the evidence one would need to impeach both Rubio and Noem was just posted to the AAUP v. Rubio docket. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

It's a profound LACK of patriotism when they can't love this country while also acknowledging it's horrors

in solidarity with MN today, please find your closest walk-in freezer and stand in it naked for a few hours

"We profit but you can't" = Silicon Valley position on music, art, the press, society in general

This is fascinating. Lots of useful info but also kind of damning breakdown of browser behavior IMO. Need to meet the browsers where they are but it's wild to respect aria-hidden but then not respect other aria attributes that compliment it

Another great thing killed by the shit thing.

Hakeem Jeffries deserves to be unemployed.

they said “or bringing religion into it” I mean what

in case you didn’t click through, what she had the nerve to do was go to a football game that the school she is currently attending was playing in

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.

The right wing conspiracy theory is that the new state flag was made to look like the flag of Somalia. Never mind that it doesn’t, and that literally makes no sense, and it was approved by the state legislature. So when Vance uses the old flag, he’s saying he’s a racist… and also delusional.

Highlighting: That's not the MN State flag anymore. A major reason for the change was specifically blatant racist, anti-Indigenous imagery. It is a specific choice to use this flag. Minority extremists use the old flag as a dog whistle. The Vice President is prominently dog whistling.

If polling weren't something that can be changed by campaigning, then why would people even campaign? It makes no sense to meet the polls where they are regardless of the moral issues at hand

"we'll look weak and out of touch" ICE is underwater with non-college whites including 41% "strong disapprove" there's no polling to hide behind, if you're not willing to fight here it's because you don't want to, not because it's a losing fight

Congrats RFK Jr

Recall that a district court wrote a lengthy and closely reasoned opinion blocking DOGE's access to sensitive SSA data after extensive briefing. The Fourth Circuit agreed. Then SCOTUS threw that out with no explanation in a two-page emergency order.

Terrible metaphor aside: how did this work for Biden, who actually oversaw one of the best turnarounds from the economic effects COVID in the world?

Because the Titanic is famous for being the ship that turned around, hmmm?

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else

Please could I have a refund for my coup? It didn’t work, so I’d like to return it to the store.

The only comfort in this expose is they know they’re going to jail

I would also note: X has deleted a handful of these images. But the vast majority of them remain live on X today.

"NO BRAINER," meaning of course "idea perpetuated by someone with no brain"

Abusers' logic, the core of the Republican party ethos

I will never release my rage at the coward cops of Uvalde

This made me howl.,

This now-former xAI engineer says in a Jan. 15 interview that xAI coders are strongly encouraged to use ⚡other companies'⚡ generative AI, and xAI has put "AI agents" on their org chart (outnumbering humans 20 to 1), creating confusion in management about who really does or doesn't exist

It's so fucking maddening that not only is it *morally right* to oppose everything this admin is doing, it's also EASILY the correct political action based on polling. Those don't always line up and that is where shit gets really bad, but they're aligned right now! It's the WORST time to collaborate

More striking: * With likely voters the generic congressional ballot is +13. That would put the Senate easily into play. * Approval is 48 strongly disapprove 10 somewhat disapprove 19 somewhat approve 21 strongly approve Trump's support is soft. Ds should take charge, not appease!

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I never saw stories about McConnell and the Republicans publicly fretting about working with Obama during an election year (or any other year). They obstructed and voted against everything and gained 7 seats in 2010 and 9 seats in 2014.

It shouldn’t be controversial to insist that Democrats vote to rein in this lawless and sadistic agency. Demand that your Members of Congress use their leverage with the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to get ICE Out For Good: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...
