They haven't stopped or slowed down kidnapping people in Los Angeles either.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

You know I was a little worried about the Patriots not being able to win the Super Bowl this year but then what’s that I hear? A manufactured scandal involving Bill Belichick? Music to my ears, Patriots on a last second FG, bet the farm

Saw this on Instagram: Modern Times Cafe in Minneapolis is going to be free and volunteer-staffed for the duration of the occupation of the city, is accepting donations to cover costs via @moderntimescafe on Venmo

Let’s gooooooooooooo

"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."-Elie Wiesel

Everyday White men are being shown in real time that this regime’s talk about protecting their lives and livelihoods from the rest of us is just another lie. Everyday White men are being shown in real time that they actually need protection from this regime like the rest of us.

RIP to a GOAT

The Limits of Violent Authoritarianism Trump’s authoritarian desires are boundless. But the past year proves that his ability to impose them on America is not. Even invoking the Insurrection Act would not magically change that. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

This is it. The elites are the media and Congress and Governors and Mayors. And everyone in those positions are weak yappers, do nothing empty politicians and scared losers pushing out Republican press releases as reporting. Trump knows it.

One of the things that's interesting about our times (and wouldn't we prefer to live in boring times?) is how people are in fact constantly looking to scapegoat industries and the people working in them, but the common denominator is how capitalism without guardrails always becomes Bane on venom

Lewiston city official to me just now: "I fear ICE is going to be much more successful here than in other places (successful in fomenting terror and Creating Content) because of our low population base. A few hundred agents here will be orders of magnitude more effective than in a major metro area."

guys we have to stop conflating Third Way - a specific pressure group with a largely dumb agenda - and "The Democrats."

thanks @djdumars.bsky.social ❤️

I wonder if having the leader of one of the largest and most important religious groups globally being one of your biggest fans counts as a form of cheating

Slightly diminish a band: The Who?

every republican president destroys the economy

I will make some to honor him tomorrow night. He changed the world.

You can either support the arts or you can strategically humor hate campaigns against marginalized people. If you try to do both you’ll just do the latter.

And try not to take your frustration and feelings of powerlessness out on each other.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

I would instantly sub to Paramount+ if they did this

The Aristocrats!

I mean I did once start a band called “spite” so I get it Came for the hate, stayed for the fun history @thisguysucked.com

RIP to one of the guitar greats, iconic pocket playing on memorable riffs like Soul Man, Green Onions, and more

people thought Judith Butler was exaggerating before but she's been proven right, i think

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Noting the decision not to mark the day, the State Department stated: "An awareness day is not a strategy." Activists in the fight to end the ongoing AIDS epidemic disagree. n.pr/3Xu36zt

Who knew that Batman Returns was actually the prophetic movie for our times

Having been listening to The Time since I heard Jelly Bean Johnson passed away (RIP to the legend), I have realized that our culture is currently in a dearth of songs that present a new dance, instruct people in how to perform said dance, and extol the amount of sex it will unlock for you

I'd just like to remind the timeline tonight that a quick game of Tetris can prevent the permanent mental retention of images and/or phrases you wish you could unsee!

I know it's not internet correct to be talking about something completely unrelated to everything else in the discourse, but I would really love it if Beyonce (R&B pop diva) actually took up Scott Henderson's suggestion (jazz fusion guitar maestro) and did a song with him, as he is also a super fan

I kind of look forward to Kenmageddon

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi
