This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Settler pogroms ran out the last 2 of (once) 120 Bedouin families in Ras Ein al-Auja in the Jordan valley. The settlers graffiti'd the horrifying "Third Nakba 2026" on abandoned structures. This, from the editorial board of Haaretz, a large center-left Israeli paper: Unpaywalled, next skeet

The Trump administration talking about illegal immigrants but make the footage federal agents

This is just a great photo from the local coverage in Portland, ME. This is a group of religious leaders who were arrested after holding a pray-in at Susan Collin's office to get her to defund ICE. The look on the face of the man on the right, really says "judge not lest ye be judged."

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Minnesota Star Tribune Editorial Board: Minnesota is under siege. This cannot stand. "ICE presence has disrupted all aspects of life in Minnesota, and led tragically to the death of Renee Good. It’s the outcome of government overreach that favors force over legitimacy."

ETHICS IS NOW CANCELED AT TEXAS A&M Statement from Dr. Leonard Bright....

Any provost suggesting we use AI to prepare our lectures should be immediately subject to a no confidence vote.

With the stroke of a pen, the Trump administration is wiping out critical life-saving addiction and mental health support that has helped the US turn the tide on opioid overdose. If you want to be really enraged check out the math on our adventures in Venezuela: www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/1...

Dear Texas A&M, Clarifying that you did not ban all of Plato, just the parts that call into question the state's governing ideology is not quite the win that you seem to think it is.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Welcome to the revolution comrade Πλάτων.

They always want to “save classics!” until they find that it’s only by heavily redacting Greco-Roman literature (e.g. cut out the gayness!) that they get what they call “western civ.” It’s all a ridiculous game of omission.

"Derek" has long been the name of choice for your typical dipshit character. The Duffer Brothers showed one of us as the delightful dude we (mostly) are. Thank you. They did the same for "Karen" too.

Leaders of universities need to stop the endless branding exercises called “strategic plans” and reacquaint themselves with the mission of higher education. And states need to fund public universities to sufficient levels to reduce the influence of the donor class.
