How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥽

ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.

I saw this post the other day and it just made me sad. I saw it again from the Popular With Friends feed and now I'm just mad. "a measles outbreak in the prison for babies" Our mask is off, America. This is who we are. What are we going to do about it?

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

3 yrs ago I started writing a book that is in stores TODAY. It's narrative nonfiction, anti-fascist spy thriller set in Trump era. It's timely as hell & I'm proud of it. A thread of what people are saying abt it & why I hope you'll help make it a bestseller www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

This is what I think about when I see a Tesla with those new headlights. They bought that car after he did this.

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States." Great testimony! youtube link in the thread and this starts around 00:30. This can't be "reformed."

V glad to see this frankly disturbing trend finally being called out !! ‘It’s ridiculous’: publicans bemused by rise of single-file queues to get served | Pubs | The Guardian share.google/riza1ctU9Z1k...

Holy shit.

I had not realized that today, a day that included big anti-ICE demonstrations, was Fred Korematsu day.

Amanda Carpenter was waaaaay out in front on Trump's election skulduggery in 2020, reporting and issuing warnings many months in advance. So when she and her colleagues start talking about these sorts of worrying warning signs, everybody should listen up.

Everybody who perpetrated this while covering it up should be in the Hague www.reuters.com/world/early-...

Just a phenomenal sequence of events

When this is over, the names of the people who are gaining generational wealth profiting off this cruelty need to be known and shamed. Make their names forever synonymous with these concentration camps.

This is wealth creation on the back of unspeakable cruelty. The entire deportation/detention industrial complex needs to be dismantled and the profiteers shamed. The contrail of tears.

I made these Bacon Salted Caramels today and they’re excellent, if I do say so myself. noshthis.com/collections/...

@jenpsaki.bsky.social please post the name of the maker of this incredible pendant. (But DM me the link an hour before you do so I can buy one before they sell out.) It’s fantastic! 🤯🔥

Have a bacon lover in your life*? I’ve just made fresh batches of all three of my bacon chocolates for Valentine’s Day and they’re available in my Three Little Pigs box for the next two weeks. *If that bacon lover is you, that counts too. Self-care is important. noshthis.com/collections/...

This piece seems engineered to be the first step in its own negation; the Pumpernickel Revival starts now www.grubstreet.com/article/why-...

Please do yourself a favor and read this @dogsinautumn.bsky.social tribute to Alex Pretti. You won't regret it.

“Clasped on one agent’s weapon is a rifle combat magwell, a piece of plastic that helps widen the aperture for an ammunition magazine so the firearm is easier to reload when adrenaline overpowers fine-motor skills during a firefight.”

"This wasn’t crowd control. This was panic control. This was the federal government throwing tear gas at a punchline because they couldn’t arrest a joke."

A great American.

I really wish it wasn’t a multi-thousand dollar undertaking, not to mention a total platform shift, to boycott this god damn company (on whose phone I’m typing this rant.)

@sbg1.bsky.social was on one on this week’s @talkingfeds.bsky.social podcast. No lies detected tho. We’re in a very dangerous place, and not enough people realize just how far down the bad path we are.

"Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America." This whole piece is excellent.

Ghouls. Kamala wanted to go farther in the other direction and pay home health care attendants. Elections matter. 🎁 link

Alec Karakatsanis says both Fox News and even more "liberal" outlets like The New York Times have disseminated stories that create the illusion of a crime wave, when, in fact, U.S. crime is at a 20-year low.

"Then Arianne turned to the camera, radiant and feral, and said the words that permanently altered the course of protest history: “I’m going to hand out big dicks to little-dick ICE agents.”"

Is someone pranking 311? It certainly wouldn’t be the first cougar spotted in Pacific Heights. Nice of them to call her young though!

As someone who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it), let me tell you something: The lies Trump, Vance and Miller say are not meant to be believed by their followers. They are meant to be REPEATED. The repetition of the lie is the test of loyalty to the cult.

'What's happening in Minnesota right now is a test case. The Trump admin is learning what it can get away with, probing the limits of resistance, manufacturing pretexts for further occupations. If this becomes normalized in one city, it will spread to other places.' Stellar read from @soleilho.com

outstanding essay. we're going to win.

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Always read M Gessen. Donald Trump ruled the GOP using the same terror techniques that he’s now using to rule the country. Plenty of GOP politicians and activists knew this all along and full well. They chose to capitulate to the terror. They are complicit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

ACAB includes your Ring camera

I don't think it matters whether or not Alex Pretti had a gun www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

I'm obsessed with this artist today John Atkinson Grimshaw His night scenes are INCREDIBLE I love how bright they are and it's still night.

*logs-in* "WTF fuck America..." *looks out the window* Bushfire smoke shrouds the landscape early in our heatwave... *Checks the fire maps* "WTF fuck Australia..." *seeks respite in woodworking youtube* "WTF That's not the kind of woodworking I was looking for" *logs-out*

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

when Spock does the neck pinch, even on bad guys, he always catches them and sets them down very politely. letting this guy fully just drop, leaving Jim to try to awkwardly scramble to catch him, is Vulcan for "it is always morally right to punch Nazis"
