Knowledge Fight was and remains one of the all-time great podcasts. It is the rarest kind of thing: a show that entertains while having a real-life impact. Dan and Jordan helped defang and neuter elements of a powerful propaganda network. Excited to see what both do next.

SFUSD folks, the district is attempting to force teachers to use Amira every day. Let your kids' teachers (and principals!) know you have their back when they refuse

The whitewashing of the civil rights movement & the state it countered is a huge part of how we got here. My latest: “Black organizers of the civil rights era didn’t organize against ‘racism.’ They organized to sabotage the laws and institutions of a white nationalist government.“

Prof. Derek Peterson, U of Michigan historian & MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, thanked “pro-Palestinian student activists” during a grad speech today, for “opening our hearts to the injustices and inhumanity of Israel’s war in Gaza.” His words, and the cheers that followed made my heart sing.

ok this is legit shocking!!! The person with the most traffic tickets in all of NYC turns out to be an NYPD officer from Staten Island. jk it’s not shocking at all lmao

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

Jackie Robinson grew up in a diverse Pasadena neighborhood, & when one of those neighbors, his baseball teammate Shig Takayama, was incarcerated at Manzanar with his family, the Robinsons helped take care of their home. For my new column, a story of the worst & best of America through baseball. 🗃️

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty

If you cannot accept that the pope is the head of the church and knows more about faith than you’ve learned in your three years at Fascist Academy for Backwards Theology, then maybe converting to Catholicism is not the right move for you.

As of this morning, SFUSD is officially violating the terms of their latest contract with UESF. We need new management and that starts with electing Brandee Marckmann in June.

Staff Cuts to SFUSD Schools: Sorry, remaining staff will have to do the work Staff Cuts to SFUSD District Office: We need to hire even more consultants The reason we don't believe the district's insistence that they're broke is that they don't act like it

And Rick here knows, because the government messed up the lucrative health care fraud that built his fortune

Here's a waymo in the pedestrian crosswalk I had to whack because it started creeping forward again against the light

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

Idk man if you're going to celebrate your state-sponsored violence you could at least have an aesthetic better than "permanently eight years old and also evil" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/staff-a...

anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against these heretics

For a sense of the scale of the federal occupation of the Twin Cities metro this winter... Chicago and LA were too big so they tried picking on somewhere smaller. They were thick on the ground here but they still left in disgrace. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

“Studies suggest youths are more empathetic and less narcissistic than in the past, as well as more open-minded and inclusive. Drug use is down, youth violence has dropped and teen pregnancies have declined.” It’s almost like panic abt kids’ wellbeing serve existing adult demands for control.

A lot of speculation about how things got so Stupid and Evil and I think one reason is we've collectively been too tolerant of Stupid and Evil for too long

this is a sweet story til you realize it's yet another totally uncritical account of the widely debunked method of facilitated communication, this time with his mother, who just happened to work as a story analyst before being her son's aid in his MFA program

Last word to @jedshug.bsky.social rightly so

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

we are better than the worst of us want us to believe

Definitely something to bring up in SFUSD BoE public comment, since this remains their excuse for their refusal to recruit, hire, and retain educators

I’m at ICE HQ

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Fuck ICE but also fuck the press for feeding us the "to help with long lines!!!" bullshit because SFO has not been impacted at all by the partial shutdown. (It has contractors doing security and they're getting paid.) You only send ICE to SFO to do goon squad shit, which was always the goal of this.

the only solution to nostalgia is revenge

I hadn't tried to buy tickets to a small venue show in awhile - is everything sold out in a minute and for sale on resale sites now or did I just get unlucky?

This is so fucking grim www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

SFUSD is still running +1000 seats below TK needs, if you're wondering whether or not the district is really working to increase enrollment (no, they are not) They didn't report application numbers this year and I'm telling you it's because they don't want questions about TK

Hip thrust: advanced Leg press: advanced Squat: advanced Bench press: novice 🫠

I've been playing this for the Kindergartners as background music and they love it so for Friday fun time I put it on the screen too and they lost their minds

DOGE was a huge win for the Effective Sociopathy movement

I missed this until now, but wow is it peak SFParents: ahistorical, lacking important context, and anti-union thefrisc.com/the-sf-teach...

I live in the state of California, he's my governor, I voted for him in 2018, and he's the worst piece of trash imaginable. He hates the trans community, he's criminalized being homeless in a state where hardworking people are one missed paycheck from the street. He had Bannon on his podcast

It's me I'm Fatima www.tiktok.com/@hippiearab/...

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

It takes a real asshole to show up for public comment in chef's whites like this

Gavin Newsom, Kristi Noem Nod Silently To Each Other In Plastic Surgeon’s Office

Senator Backwoods here went to fucking Oxford, the one in England, and his similes here are as authentic as, idk, yer holler cousin's moonshine in a Jack Daniels bottle

Brooke's entire political career exists because of billionaires, and unions have generally declined to support her. Idk but it sure seems like abundance means "abundantly self-interested and corrupt"

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

could a dying empire do THIS

the reason conservatives treat "cancelled for their conservative views" and "cancelled for being a sex pest and rapist" the same is that "powerful men should be allowed to rape their subordinates" *is* a conservative view

I’m getting a little sick of saying this, but I think it’s worth repeating, that this speech sounds no different than your average white nationalist website.
