heads up NYC lovers of Louis Armstrong who want to brave the cold tomorrow!

New Orleans, February 6th. 71 degrees. Far off through my open windows I can hear a brass band mingling with the sounds of birdsong in my trees. One of our beautiful neighbors texted me to say they'd left this King Cake on our doorstep

The reason republicans can't let go of Trump is because their nerve endings only respond to an electric current of racism, subsidies for the rich, impunity for white men, sexism and xenophobia, and their hands are locked on to Trump because he's a 700,000 volt live transmission wire of all of it

Within a span of only 11 days in 1897 German chemist Felix Hoffmann (working for Bayer) synthesized Aspirin and then Heroin.

Louisiana politicians are forcing poor people to buy their fruit specifically from Walmart if they want this incentive

Statistically you're safer from crime as a stranger amongst immigrants than you are around ICE. You're safer amongst drag queens than around pastors, especially as a child. You're better cared for by the poor than the rich. You're far safer with an immigrant as an intimate partner than a cop.

At a bare minimum for their continued existence every billionaire needs to add a member of their entourage whose sole job is to issue a constant stream of thousand dollar bills to everyone they pass

As Bezos fires droves of reporters let's also remember that Bernie Sanders had a plan for public funding of journalism

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Waiting for my bus and thinking of this post

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

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

They're both from South Texas and have been on the job for years, not new recruits. Abolish ICE? Yes. Also, CPB. Hell, DHS also needs to be stripped down to the floor and renamed something less fascist.

You could house everyone in need of a home with the money being given to ICE. A society that chooses the latter over the former is truly evil and there's no way to spin that.

Our grubby ruling class are such depraved perverts you gotta age verify to look at a gov website now

"We can either tax you out of existence or we can launch you into the sun with a trebuchet. Your call!"

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

“It will exist as a striking artefact - like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will - of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”

So thankful for Catherine O'Hara's work over the decades. She made literally everything she was in better.

Better yet: the head-exploding collars from The Running Man. Your bodycam gets enough down votes and pop goes the weasel

Sisters, then and now

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Kristi Noem Calls On Minneapolis Residents To Stop Obstructing Murders https://theonion.com/kristi-noem-calls-on-minneapolis-residents-to-stop-obstructing-murders/

“billboard”

There's no statute of limitations for murder, and the president can't pardon state charges.

Any time it feels difficult to do the right thing, to do the moral thing, that's a moment when you can spiritually measure the toxicity of the society you're embedded in. A healthy society would and should make it painless to be good and to speak truth and to help others and live in peace.

Dearly beloved We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life

Never forgiving. Never forgetting. Never surrendering.

And even on a normal day outside of civil war we kill more of ourselves than anyone

The bat signal is out. The cat signal is in.

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

"Damn, Jack, check out this Rip" "This Rip ain't getting Jacked today" "Jack, who's trying to Jack my Rip??" "RIP to my fuckin Rip, Jack"

It's 2026 and you're still arguing with new accounts with low-follower counts, thus giving them increased attention, and training the algorithm to promote low-quality arguments? Try this easy trick instead: block and help everyone ignore them!

Between Mamdani and Spanberger, the establishment of "instantly repeal all the bullshit the last pig put in place" as Democratic priority #1 for both democratic socialists and ex-CIA types is an extremely heartening development.

Americans in 2026 waxing nostalgic for 2016 feels like Germans in 1942 waxing nostalgic for 1932

GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good. Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?
