Well now I'm imagining Teal'c in Stargate decrying a "False MILF"

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

BREAKING: Chief Judge Schiltz sets a contempt hearing for Friday in one of the hundreds of habeas cases in Minnesota pending as a result of Operation Metro Surge, ordering acting ICE Director Todd Lyons personally to appear in court and face contempt. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A Dan Olson line that echoes in my head a lot is from his video on NFTs, about how so many (mostly men) saw the financial crash expose all the injustices of capitalism and what made them angry was they wanted their turn "to be the boot"

🚨🚨🚨 "At least 63 times since 2007, data from some of the 28 human genomic repositories that the N.I.H. controls was improperly released to researchers, used for unapproved purposes or made vulnerable to theft..." (Gift Link) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Really impossible to over-emphasise how bad this all is.

🚨 6 DAYS LEFT 🚨 We have just one week to stop Sex Matters infiltrating a vote to ban conversion therapy. Over 5,000 have taken action. Will you join them? https://action.goodlawproject.org/stop-sex-matters-infiltrating-the-council-of-europe

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year. These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.* So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds. Read, & check out our maps:

"MAGA is defined by its total lack of a theory of mind for its enemies" is so succinct and a really crucial point. The idea that their enemies are all "NPCs" is a weird but significant aspect of this fascist movement. It helps them dehumanise others, but also prevents them understanding opposition

Never getting on an airplane again. No I don't trust European countries to not follow suit, it's staggering how many people who should know better think this is just fine.

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

💯

these guys are LARPing like siege commanders talking about "supply lines" rightoids literally cannot comprehend the idea of a community caring for their own; these people live in Minneapolis their supply line is a five minute drive to the grocery store

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

LinkedIn probably wasn’t the best channel to post this, but I stand by it

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

I watched the video and pretty much everyone is representing it pretty much accurately and I don't think you need to watch it if your takeaway is that a bunch of ICE guys were on top of a dude who they were beating and then one of them decided to shoot him at point blank range for no obvious reason

Oh heck yes. Have't bought a DC comic in a while but definitely getting this.

New pfp dropped! It's winter so let's play in the snow #art #snow #winter

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

And just like that, the US has left the World Health Organization. Link goes to the official announcement—lies pretending to justify a decision that will kill countless numbers—from people too stupid to even include a proper twittercard. www.hhs.gov/press-room/u...

Last thing: if your Democratic Representative *isn't* one of these (or Jeffries), call them to thank them for holding the line.

It's evil. It's just evil.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

Maybe the most important thing I learned from doing grunt-level Capitol Hill internships in college is that your reps and senators care DEEPLY about What Constituents Are Calling Their Offices About, and are ALWAYS asking staff for updates. It might not seem like calling matters. I promise it does.

May it sweep them all!

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

"The Democratic Party's McClellan Problem" is a great historical analogy by Jamelle Bouie about the Democrats' (or at least Democratic leadership's) fear of playing hardball. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msz2...

If the last decade has taught Europe anything, it should be that reliance on fossil fuel imports is a strategic liability which will be exploited. Climate aside, decarbonisation is security. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION. More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation. Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law. The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness. 1/2

This is one part of why defences of Schumer/Jeffries as being "strategic" or "calculated" fail: The message their soft rhetoric sends to (former) allies is that even if the Trumpist regime is ousted, a Dem admin might do little to reverse the damage, nor much to prevent Trumpers being elected again

This really is bad

If you want to read something that doesn't make you end by concluding "well, shit, we're cooked," like everything else does, read this

this is by the Post reporter whose house was just searched by the FBI www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

“One day, a woman wrote to me on Signal, asking me not to respond. She lived alone, she messaged, and planned to die that weekend. Before she did, she wanted at least one person to understand: Trump had unraveled the government, and with it, her life.” @hannahnatanson.bsky.social essay:

From me in @boltsmag.org: some of the most important legal questions on voting rights and democracy that we're facing this year

It really is upsetting to see the Department of Labor—once headed by Frances Perkins, the woman behind the New Deal, who unapologetically bent immigration rules to save thousands of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany—posting fascist Reichslop like this

I remain 100% convinced that the "Greenland has minerals", "tech bros want to fill it with company towns" talking pts are post-hoc rationalisations for Trump seeing a big thing on a Mercator projection, pointing at it and saying "want". Opportunists like Thiel would find something to loot anywhere.

💯 Anti- London tirades generally say way more about the person than they do about London. And yes, there's a lot to say about London eg inequality, gentrification, over blown housing market, disproportionate impact of Brexit on the hospitality industry etc but the obsession with crime is just 🤷🏾‍♀️

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

"guy with a don't tread on me flag dresses up as a nameless agent of state power and rains lethal force on someone who mildly inconvenienced him" is the last few decades of that flag wrapped in a single murder
