A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

Perfection

Couple hundred schoolkids on a random Fuck ICE march down our residential street. Just kept comin'. Had signs and were chanting and stuff. It was beautiful

Her “crime” is literally bearing witness

there’s no comedic cultural equivalent to sctv — the reach and influence, the precision and skill of the people who were part of it, how fucking weird and rare, catherine o’hara being 1 of 1 IN a 1 of 1 group, singular

catherine o’hara was absolutely god-tier at harmonization, first of all, and then the fact that she performed this number in character, with all those subtle expressions and moments, is just…fuck. a once-in-a-lifetime talent

One of the best to ever do it youtu.be/fggXs7oIP7Q?...

oh goddamn it, i loved Catherine O'Hara so much from SCTV all the way thru, NO ONE FUNNIER, ever. i was just a kid. i fell in love with her, the whole deal she helped mold my sense of humor as much as anyone else i have experienced in this life just such a winning, clever mind REQUIESCAT GOAT

Last thing for the night, a great song, even if it is winter. youtu.be/wN89jlgdDfU?...

get 'em now or else...i dunno! maybe you can get 'em later, or maybe you can't

Silkworm shared some bills with Babe and they were all lovely people. So sorry to see this. Requiescat TT

THE CITY

today the fascists killed a nurse who did good work for the people in his care

This is literally what happened to Fred Hampton 57 years ago. Not trying to be smarter or whatever, merely saying this level of impunity from the powers that be is older than most care to admit

This country...newborn puppy, eyes sealed, grown blindly to the size of a mastodon. A mutt aspiring now to be purebred. When being a mutt is what makes it worth a shit at all. Maybe someday the rheum clears, and it can see where it really is, not what it's been fooled it into believing, and repent

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

oh yeah man this will do it

They’re fighting for their city but they’re also fighting for all of us

Protester: "It just feels like they're murdering the most peaceful people we have, the people who are out on the street, young, and trying to protect other people"

Every video I’ve seen directly contradicts the DHS narrative. They say he approached the officers armed and ready to “massacre law enforcement.” In reality, he was recording ICE then after they shoved a woman, he got in between them. They then surrounded him and killed him.

Holy shit. "In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Working with this website is a trip. Michael patched it together out of SQL databases. It's kind of insane. Three or four good web people have looked at it over the years, and they've all just gone wtf man it's breaking my brain I don't even know how he did this. Anyway, I can update the home page!

a fantastic blog & headline, by @girinathan.bsky.social defector.com/jd-vance-is-...

Founding Black Midi guitarist Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin has died, aged 26

yes my gosh it's been extremely rough for me and really all the whites

one of the great bands

That’s the spirit.

Hate to repost the fbi but this is a big part of it

This is extraordinary. I can’t think of a single Fed statement this defiant — ever. The Fed works through open consensus building and when it must, quiet, patient resistance. I cannot stress how bad things are that Jay Powell is saying these things out loud.

If you don't know a lot about the Fed, I can't even begin to describe to you how insane it is that Powell had to do this. I mean, it's a fantastic response, but holy shit
