In the '60s, an all-star team of Soviet artists assembled -- including Yuri Norstein. Together, they crafted a gentle, quiet gem called The Mitten. It's lovely stop motion, and it laid the groundwork for the team's later Cheburashka. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-for...

This is hilarious. They’re even using that idiotic triple comma from the show Silicon Valley! marchforbillionaires.org

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

SCOOP: Nursing home companies donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept. Their executives landed a lunch in Aug. with Trump at his NoVa golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect. His administration revoked the rule a few months later.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

A WOMAN RUNNING away from the SADISTIC ICE GOONS gets shot as she's running away with her back towards them and they shoot part of her hand off she then collapses in the snow writhing in pain. www.instagram.com/reel/DT9fnkz...

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Way bigger than the inauguration crowd, also Fuck ICE

Minnesota is the best of us.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest. Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Cranchiids are some of the squids of all time.

The labor share of GDP is lower today than it has been at any time since records began being kept in 1947. The share of the nation’s income going to workers has fallen 16 points in that 78-year stretch. The share going to capital has risen by the same amount. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

This Tuesday, Jan. 20, we encourage people across the country to walk out and lobby their congressional offices in their districts. Demand that Congress advance articles of impeachment against Trump and senior Trump officials for multiple abuses of power. citizensimpeachment.com/january-20th...

404 Media has obtained material that explains how surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. One tool can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer. www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Comics friends! Please look at what @trungles.com and a bunch of other comics people are doing and join in! #IceOutComics

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car “the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

Trump keeps yelling “insurrection” in Minnesota like he forgot January 6 — the one he actually incited. Terrorizing communities and calling in troops isn’t law and order. It’s authoritarianism.

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

This dude rules

Federal immigration activity ramps up this week; since Monday, immigration agents have been spotted all over Los Angeles and other surrounding counties.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

Jesse Welles doing that thing he's really good at

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Starbucks workers are still on strike! Get your sweet drinks somewhere else until this is over! And if you’re a coffee lover, for chrissakes, switch to a local coffee shop, they’re so much better!

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

Hungary rejects fascism, millions call on the corrupt Orbàn regime to fall. #3E

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
