I have learned in recent years there are 10s of millions of Americans not only willing but eager to go watch a lynching from the comfort of a picnic blanket and the only thing that was holding them back was the social penalty; really makes you think about those who warn against social penalties.

Happening in my community

I would do these things. Nomination, please 🫴🏻

Agh that tension of an orientation towards abolitionism, while being aware that we only have the system we have now & feeling glad that there is at least some justice for horrific powerful harmdoers (who will likely get country club cages anyway). Philosophically messy, but aren’t human beings?

‼️

One down?

so they can arrest a former prince while the US President is untouchable. what a world we live in.

“Kenya, the capitol of Africa.”

In January, Brand Library & Art Center launched Hyper SoCal, an initiative driven to shine a light on Southern California's working artists by highlighting the nonprofit and municipal art venues that support them. The full story: lataco.com/glendales-br... By L.A. TACO STAFF

Los Angeles folks:

Is it a Jaguar Shark? 😉

okay sure RFK wears his jeans into the cold plunge, but give him a break, he's a nevernude

IMPORTANT: This is *false*. The FBI has admitted no such thing. No one has said any such videos exist. It is just a rumor, with no evidence anywhere. Go ahead, search for yourself. You’ll find nothing but sensational claims like this on social media, with no links or other proof whatsoever. 1/3

Just imagine

We got both pączki and fasnachts for Fat Tuesday 😋

1988 was my first election. I took it very seriously, so when Jesse Jackson came to my community college in southern California, I made sure to see him. I had no idea back then about his place in history.

When I was at the NYT (feel free to throw shit at me) the biggest project I never got through was a reexamination of the Black Panthers, what they stood for, what their legacy was, and how badly the paper covered them in the first place. Still think this is necessary/relevant, have the free idea

JFC, no!

This case, this situation, just floors me in its depravity and misogyny. A microcosm of what we’re seeing come out about the powerful people in Epstein’s orbit.

Conor Lamb is the guy I didn’t vote for in the primary with Fetterman, and boy howdy, do I regret it. Lamb is currently practicing law, and it sure seems like he’s gearing up to run for Fetterman’s seat in 2028.

ICE/CBP have gone unfunded for 3 days; how about 3 years? The best way to claw back the $170 billion immigration enforcement surge in the Big Beautiful Bill is to just claw it back. The 2nd-best way is to slowly drain it by never funding the underlying appropriation. @ryanlcooper.com makes the case:

Here’s last night’s story about the Department of Homeland Security, how it’s emboldening ICE, and why it is – for some ungodly reason – allowing Kristi Noem to constantly cosplay as a law enforcement agent. We don’t care what they say, she does not need coast guard fatigues!

YEEEEES! I mean, my senators - McCormick and Fetterman - are hopeless, but I love this energy.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in 2026 would just be, this guy is so rich he can throw a couple of Sieg Heil and order the deaths of millions of brown and Black people.

My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

Yep. It’s a small thing, but for months, we haven’t been able to consistently get the same stuff on our grocery trips.

Life goals

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

When someone tries to reduce American culture to the early English and Irish (specifically the "Scots-Irish" Ulster Protestant) settlers, I want to point out that the churches founded by them are all now broadly leftist.

“White” is the original identity politics - invented to justify oppressing people and taking their stuff. White men are just D&D munchkins.

And we certainly shouldn’t give it *more* funding.

Gonna see Hamnet this afternoon. Preparing to be devastated @juliusgoat.bsky.social

This, taken together with Stephen Miller’s comments about a “foreign labor force,” makes it difficult - if not impossible - not to see this as a deliberate movement to abuse the “criminal” clause of the 13th Amendment by creating a slave labor class.

Researchers celebrate early results of a drug that may become the first treatment for a serious complication of pregnancy called preeclampsia. It's got the potential to save many lives.

This whole album is phenomenal

YES! “The Shapiro administration warned the Department of Homeland Security it will not issue required permits for two immigration detention centers.” www.abc27.com/pennsylvania...

This is a fun listen. “Fun.” I have to wonder why we’re not all in the streets with pitchforks and torches. youtu.be/jOR4wuiPeEQ?...

A white lady in sensible sandals set fire to a building. The tides are turning.

How to use white lady privilege

I definitely did not think about how one might sabotage the two facilities that ICE recently acquired in PA. Absolutely not.

My neighborhood record store in my current home of Los Angeles, Amoeba, is selling t-shirts to support a great record store in my hometown of Minneapolis, The Electric Fetus. A magic record store portal between my two homes! My thoughts are with everyone in Minnesota standing up for their neighbors

How to do a civil disobedience

This is the way, not that weak sauce from national Dem leadership.
