chaos, corruption, ethnic cleansing, economic stagnation. that’s what the republican party delivers when they have full control of the federal government

I’m 34, this accurately describes 4 of the 5 GOP terms I’ve lived thru

For people who don't follow the FDA closely: this is insane. Like my jaw hit the floor when I saw this. The FDA is flat out refusing to even consider Moderna's application for a new flu vaccine? The federal health apparatus is fully compromised by anti-vax conspiracy. THIS IS NUTS! BAD

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

“what we’re witnessing is…on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, & Chinese labor camps…The admin is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political & cultural prefs for generations”

This is actually something I wonder about, and I don't know the necessary weeds about Fed speedy trial rules, general bail practices, and how judges handle both these things. Am definitely interested if any experts on that know if fewer AUSA = fewer cases or longer stints in jail pre-trial?

A billionaire family that owns a bridge crossing between Michigan and Canada has wanted Trump to stop a new bridge — and Trump is now threatening to block its opening (with authority he doesn’t have). www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

Confirmation by the NYT that Trump’s threat came after direct lobbying from billionaire Matthew Moroun, who owns the existing bridge. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

China is building solar and wind energy capacity equal to 5 nuclear power plants A WEEK, and this guy is using tax dollars to prop up 1800's tech that even the energy companies don't want running anymore. We're goingt o have to jump into an Apollo-program level of electrification post-dipshits.

“If you are free, then you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.” — Toni Morrison

in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend" "Beers on me"

Well Schumer is doing the best he can, right guys

My child is getting an engineering degree and is appalled at the lack of liberal arts in her classmates. "They should have to read Frankenstein if they are going make things."

Lol they just did this for a speed skater. "The oldest to ever do it, she's 34"

NEW: Jonathon Redondo-Rosales, a 36-year-old LA protester, spent six months in jail accused of assaulting a federal officer with a *cloth hat.* A judge tossed out the DOJ’s case, accusing govt of acting in “bad faith” and engaging in “prosecutorial harassment“ that could “chill lawful protest”

ME: Lord, I just pray that you send a hedge of protection. GOD: Say less.

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

Made me think of this one night in college when I had My Heart Will Go On on repeat in the twilight hours. Went on a walk and halfway through decided that was enough of that and took my headphones out. Swear to god a silver Cadillac positively blaring that song rolled past me a few mins later.

Chuck Schumer the Appeaser

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

In the face of fascism, “Fuck you. Make me.” continues to be the right move.

A straight up visionary

You heretics need Viet-Cajun cuisine in your lives.

did Ilia Malinin just hit a backflip on ice while skating to Kendrick?? I'm losing my mind

While some Texas police departments have reported extraordinary success during traffic stop-and-search operations, an exclusive Houston Chronicle analysis shows that most of those discoveries yield nothing worth prosecuting. www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/202...

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

My understanding is local law enforcement cant do much to directly kick ICE out but maybe they can jail all the sex criminals. That would leave about four or five agents remaining which might be more manageable

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Wake up babe. New floodplain maps just dropped. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

I got my Masters in Latin Literature from UT in 2002 and I knew EXACTLY which professor this would be. Exactly. JFC

It really sucks that the "merchants of doubt" around "AI" water usage are so good at spreading doubt. Because the water usage *is* bad, and even if data centers somehow magically created additional water, they'd still be bad for all the other reasons that data centers are bad

Nah - so fucking gross. We have to start treating this kind of depravity like a disease.

I keep saying the 50's they dream of is the 1850's

“before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” honestly why? I’m only going to need the one, for the guy I’m getting revenge on

Yet another example of predators hiding in academia. This is an excellent report by The Daily Texan and student Justin Doud. Former professor Thomas Hubbard appears in the Epstein files asking for $10,000 to set up a conference meant to challenge the notion of consent and sexual assault.

Enh, this is defeatist. Will they fight it? Yes. Will they try to get around it? Yes. Is making it illegal important? Absolutely. Is it a tool that could be used by activists, lawyers, and judges? Yes.

woke 2 has to include punishing every property owner who leased to ICE and every business that allowed them to stage on their premises

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

Mind you, this data is only on American kids in cages built for American adults and does not include victims of ICE "Some 4,500 children are housed in adult jails and prisons on any given day in America. Children are 36 times more likely to die by suicide in an adult jail."

Solidarity with the people of Cuba as US imperialism begins yet another starvation siege

"Flock devices have been installed by more than 100 public school systems nationally, government procurement records show, and audit logs from six Texas school districts show campus camera feeds are captured in a national database that police agencies across the country can access."

How would it be a draw for the museum? It is a painting.

And I didn’t see ONE Dilbert cartoon posted in tribute. No one was like, “all time favorite gag! Hung this on every cubicle I had!” It’s like his whole body of work evaporated years ago

Here's a better question - why do we let them get away with it all the time?

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

This is true, and even if we get rid of Trump, we still have to reckon with the fact that a substantial proportion of US economic and political elites were *eager* to jump on the fascism train. They will still be the same people when Trump is gone.

Innocent people are rotting in these camps for months in horrible conditions, for no reason at all except to satisfy the sadism of that bald asshole. This is who we're supposed to negotiate Reasonable Guardrails with

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

No sympathy for a team whose owners let ICE use the team jet to deport people to concentration camps.
