"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here. everyone should have some goddamn humility.

anyways i need democrats to realize that trump is trying to fuck with the midterms ***specifically because he is afraid that he, donald trump, will be impeached and then end up back in court and then die in prison*** and then i need to them to literally never shut up about impeaching his bitch ass

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Rumor: "ICE might be moving to small towns in Ohio next. Small targets where they think they can succeed discretely, and won't get many protesters." Bitch, some of us live here! 🤬 Don't wish that on any of us! None of it is "small." ABOLISH ICE, everywhere, forever. 🖕🏻🧊

We have a LOT of Dems to replace. We can’t do it all in 1 voting cycle. I’m no expert, but it seems to me like our biggest personal payback will come from a LOCAL focus, supporting the state reps, Congresspeople & Senators WE ACTUALLY WANT instead of just shitting on the people who are there now.

in retrospect in the wake of the epstein files being released, no wonder ‘me too’ was met with such anger and ultimately those in power it meant to target never face many consequences

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

get it right

I love writing. I think what I hate now is DREAD that comes knowing I SHOULD be writing, and HAVE to write soon, but am NOT 😂 In which case, the new story for my brain needs to be, "You know, if you just do this pleasurable thing NOW, you don't have to experience THIS displeasure for hours."

so the government’s been sitting on these files without arresting anyone because all their biggest donors are in it huh

This Wednesday, Feb. 4, come on out!

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release. WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Put me in: "When Will Saying 'They Said the Quiet Part Out Loud' Do Anything?" "Nobody Likes Slop, Yet It's Everywhere" "This Paper is a Husk of Its Former Self" "AI is a Bubble and if You Haven't Figured That Out You're a Moron" "No, Public Transportation is Not as Dangerous as Driving"

When a musical is so good it becomes reality

Money is their god. Money is their god. Money is their god. Hit em in the god.

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

This is all stupid bullshit but I remain pretty disgusted at how things like marriage and having children are treated like Xbox achievements instead of actually loving and caring for someone else. Yeah I’m going to work 70 hours a week but definitely need a spouse, her name is Beth or something idk

2026 Oscar nominees whose titles could be the titles of existing musicals

US government rn

AI TRAINING??? YES PLEASE!!!

How To Spot An ICE Agent At A Gun Range

Disappointing to see people on here talking about their ideal ICE/CBP reforms. It is a terrorism organization that is conducting terror campaigns. Abolish. At minimum. That's it.

Hey, there’s really something to this idea. Trump can pardon them for federal crimes and there may be tough jurisdictional issues with prosecuting them under state law, but afaik **nothing** forbids a state from treating ICE employment 2025-2028 just as if you were a sex offender

Ilhan is my ilhero.

Musical Revivals That Don't Exist But Should, part 1(?)

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

At least we get a year between that because it's too late for oscar noms.

[Sleeping in what I thought was a comfortable position all night on my neck in pain] My nervous system:

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

"Our new fall line-up is gonna be a hit! -Miller Time: A Beer Reviewing Show with Stephen Miller that only reviews German beers -Talk Tuah Tuah: The Hawk Tuah girl tries to be Ms. Rachel -Good Jeans: a fantasy show where Sydney Sweeney is the chosen one against an army of chino wearing goblins"

Oceangate came early this year

Liberals are the kids in high school musical saying to stick to the status quo. (Those kids were wrong btw)

Oh Youtube, is there any location you won't put Snoopy and sometimes Woodstock and play jazz for?

I feel like a 5 year old trying to tell a story. Everything connects to everything else, I'm going on tangents, I'm stuttering, all to try and convey HOW AND WHY the world of today is insane.

So. To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar. Not defunded. Not trained and restrained. ABOLISHED. Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

Sorry, but being nice to 🧊 after they've outright murdered US citizens is what's gotten us to this point. We cannot rely on traditional law enforcement or voting to solve this. Our communities are being harmed by our Gov. Time to fight back. No more murders of our people.

We need to do an in-depth study into what, exactly, The West Wing TV show did to the brains of every late gen x-er and early millennial

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Yep. Not enough people know how trauma impacts kid’s brains, especially kids under 6. Trauma completely alters “normal” neurological development and can lead to…well, what we’ve experienced for generations.

Then arrest them, Tim.
