My friend Debbie wrote this great thread about the context of Surya Bonaly’s famous backflip and the history of backflips in the sport as well as Surya’s prestigious career. A large account on here decided to only read every other word and dunk post and that’s why we can’t have nice things

so much for occupy mars lol

My IRL friend's dad, a Laotian refugee, was seized by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in El Paso. His family is fundraising to afford legal fees. I'd really appreciate it if you could help. gofund.me/383933317

Also partly due to the fact that there’s very little media left to cover it at all

USAF 1st Helicopter Squadron from JBA, callsign "Musel"... does gov't VIP transport in the NCR, tasked with evac of sr officials in a crisis Super common in DC, 4 up at once isn't unusual. When I lived there, almost always flew sans ADS-B. Post-DCA crash, they now xmit ADS-B with MUSL callsign

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Let's get the weekend going with some style. Slap ass and get running down those stairs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgJY...

The puritanical tendency towards maximal security theater drives me absolutely crazy from tech perspective. Activists have a tendency to gravitate toward the most inconvenient option because surely it's the safest! No, actually, a burner phone is the worse option like 50% of the time

Hell yes!  Many of us have been following this story from the beginning, and I'm SO glad to see it resolved finally... arstechnica.com/security/202...

I recognize that this might make us seem like less “objective” journalists, but we have a responsibility as Americans. I, also, don’t really give a shit anymore. And neither does my team. We're joining the general strike tomorrow. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-join...

"A strategy of control uses terror tactics to create a violent resistance to justify its brutal subjugation and as an excuse to change laws enlarging the definition of terrorism and treason."

ICE is organized crime.

It’s 2026 and I get my main info from the “here’s how Aphex Twin makes samples” guy and the “use powdered dish soap” guy and the “here’s what planes are flying around the bay area” guy

while we're talking about PPE to protect yourself from state violence, your hearing is also vital this is a great video from @bennjordan.bsky.social about protecting yourself from Long Range Acoustic Devices, directed sound weapons first used by the military and increasingly used by cops

true service journalism... I am partial to half-masks w/ goggles for flexibility, but I do have a nice 3M full-face respirator that uses NATO spec canisters that I picked up during my journalism days and it is nice to have all-in-one protection

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime in 2024. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did. Reporter Beck Klein examines OPD's overtime use through 1 officer's astonishing schedule, revealing multiple problems and raising big questions. oaklandside.org/2026/01/29/o...

It won't surprise any of you to find out who exactly joined the Republican pedophile army newrepublic.com/post/205719/...

Not a single article online from any of the legacy L.A. media outlets about this today

There is the problem that the Democratic demands for DHS boil down to a more professional execution of fascism.

While Homan gives a press conference, ICE agents continue to swarm in South Minneapolis, with fresh abductions reported at sunrise

“Please,” I beg, barely restraining my giant menacing army of beweaponed goons literally drooling with bloodlust, “the rhetoric.”

"'This is the only source of real time information on how many people are actually leaving Minnesota right now,' he said as the state is in the grip of unprecedented sweeps to arrested undocumented people."

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

i don't think it's hyperbole to call this ethnic cleansing plain and simple

“Benson, a jolly, plaid-wearing midwesterner brimming with enthusiasm for planes, said he was spurred to action by what he described as the cruelty of US President Donald Trump's deportation agenda.”

EXCLUSIVE: These Patches Are Clues to Identifying Immigration Agents We built a guide to patches worn by ICE and CBP to help the public determine which federal agents are in their communities theintercept.com/2026/01/28/i...

This is a hell of a way to wake up on Wednesday. Good morning @gbrumfiel.bsky.social! For DOE, as the inheritors of the promotion side of the AEC equation, rulemaking for their orders has always been a little a little different and less subject to public comment than NRC. But, uhh, not like this.

Google Street View cars driving through interior border control checkpoints in the southern United States.

“Police officers are being told to ‘be as vague as permissible’ about why they are using the Flock surveillance system in order to not leak sensitive information via public records requests, according to records obtained using a public records request.”

I think one of the great things the NTSB does is methodically link structural, systemic changes to concrete examples of improved safety outcomes this type of work takes a lot of time and effort, but greatly benefits both the general public and industry

she's so incompetent she can't even fail in an interesting way

bricked up like fortunato
