every bad thing in the world has some connection to one really illiterate and really evil rich guy

But even before that, I was on mass calls in late November and December that had hundreds of thousands of people on them. The moral of the story is that a lot of things happen that pundits NEVER SEE. Take heart in that and keep pushing.

who wants to run against hakeem jeffries, I'll give you a million dollars

This is already the law though. So what are you asking for? Them to promise not to break this law? I mean. What the fuck does this mean

Things will not get better until stances such as this one end electoral careers.

Darren Aranofsky's new project is AI slop, but what do you expect him to do? Satoshi Kon tragically passed away in 2010, so Aranofsky has long been lacking in an actual artist to steal from

Five jobs I've had: -Grocery store bagger -IT tech -Barback/bar security -Corpse warehouse employee -Food safety microbiologist

i’m sorry but “a New World is not possible if our purported leaders cannot imagine its existence” is utter defeatism. we’ll go through, around and over them into the new society and leave them completely disempowered

People often confuse mutual aid with charity and claim the model unsustainable. But implied reciprocity is powerful, even where there currently is none. The giver and receiver are on equal footing; pay it in all directions and, when fortunes shift, what you’ve built can catch you too.

very much doubting Bovino getting demoted changes anything materially but it is probably making a lot of the right people very mad and that's a win

what we consider lunch time is way too close to breakfast. Lunch should be like 1:30 or 2, not at noon. Just a thought.

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland. Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

The core of Trump's project is an attempt to destroy the possibility of virtue itself. They seek to normalize brutality, to accustom us to servility and cruelty. Their goal is to mass-produce a new kind of human being: selfish, rapacious, and motivated chiefly by hatred. To care is to fight. 🖤🏴

in the end the fed was the friends we made along the way

she's saying this cause ICE wants to leave and they wanna look like they're leaving cause they won, not cause they're cold and scared. they dunno if the next killing is gonna set off the powder keg, or the one after that, but they do know they have no way to stop their guys from killing if they stay

had to subscribe to that labeler that blocks twitter screenshots, I can't look at what this admin has to say about anything anymore. The way they communicate everything is disgusting. Twitter needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

living in this era means if you haven't talked to a friend in a few months the next time you chat you'll have the chance to discuss at least 10 history making events

i fear the democratic party dream of making it 1995 again forever may now be impossible to achieve

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

how far can you push an entire city, man. The entirety of my heart goes out to everyone in Minneapolis shouldering this.

time to go to work and pretend everything is normal

SLUGGO’S SATURDAY

Been thinking about this conversation in The Crying of Lot 49

I love the ability of the people to spontaneously connect and organize without the need for rigid pre-existing structures and hierarchies. A beautiful, miraculous outburst of love and fellowship in a time of crisis.

a few days ago this magazine story calling what Trump is doing “anarchy” was going around, ignoring a very different whole other thing in US political history called “anarchism”—and here is Minneapolis, illustrating what that can be so beautifully

inescapable conclusion is we have no laws, just cops

it's so cold out that the air hurts to breathe

coworker asked me if I was on any social media at all since I said I don't use tiktok and I had to explain what bluesky was to him. Never doing that again.

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

If you can’t run against the fucking Gestapo, then get out of the way for those who can.

winter sucks after the first month but there are simple pleasures like hitting defrost and watching all the snow slowly melt on your windshield and also the certain amber hue that streetlamps start to give off during a snowstorm

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

that Hakeem Jeffries refuses to oppose this tells you all you need to know about him

been too long since we had a good time thinking it happened

Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.

Immigration officers are caught on video violating policy, training, and settled law pretty much every day. The administration just cheers them on. What makes anyone think they're going to implement any of these "guardrails?" They think de-escalation is woke. This is just giving them more money.

the temporal front of the culture war

they should put the Haruspex in the next Smash Bros.

studies have shown that bodycams have zero impact on police brutality complaints but do lead to higher conviction rates for ‘assaults against officers’ in case youre wondering why they seem to be the one thing politicians push in times like these

putting a hole in my wall every time some random guy in a news article is quoted saying opposing ICE isn't a political issue

A general strike is called for January 23 in response to the campaign of kidnapping and murder that ICE is carrying out in the Twin Cities. This is a powerful step forward for resistance. But in the 21st century, a general strike must assume new forms to succeed. crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralSt... 🧵⬇️

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.
