Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.

I just thought everyone should see this

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Pat is a gentleman, a scholar, a class clown, and one of the most insightful voices in my feed. Been holding on to this news since last month and I’m so so so happy to share it

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Lot of good stuff here. And if you ever see a stranger getting picked up, ask them to shout out a number you can call for them so someone on the outside is on it.

sometimes extremely jolly people think they are the first people in the world to ever think you can solve every problem by just deciding to be jolly about it. we tried it bitch. time for the serious people to kick the shit out of it

time to alternate between ways to solve problems my guy!! time to switch up the tamping down your anger my dude!! what about if we got into having a bad time and see how it suited us and gave us energy

so this is what it’s like when the old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born

I would simply not be corrupted absolutely.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about how the Democrats can message what’s going on. The only way to describe this president and the party propping him up is the phrase “drunk on power.”

Not in the mood to add alt text for another journalist but here’s the link to the statement on her website

Just heard the term “fibermaxxing” and I will be recovering from this for weeks

It’s as good as everyone says! 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

they are weak. finish them

I regret to inform you all (and myself) that I am about to purchase a domain

Good politicians have an intuitive sense of how public opinion is going to turn in response to events, and get ahead of it. We need more good politicians.

BREAKING: X has stopped working

I'm wrapping my mind around Wikipedia's 25th birthday. It means they started it before the launch of Internet Explorer 6 and the creation of JSON. The collective force they were able to organize with the technology of that time should give us wild hope about the crazy things people are starting now.

Putting my true crime hat on for a sec. I've written about true crime extensively and consumed more true crime than most people. Again and again, victims can *see* what's coming. They frequently have all the facts and the awareness to intuit what someone else is planning for them.

They even not infrequently joke about their own potential murders before they happen. The thing I think keeps people in these situations from really internalizing what's going on and how much danger they're in comes down, again and again, to an inability to recognize what story they're in.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

I was not cool enough to know about this site as a youth on the ‘net but this Ukrainian lacing with a captive starting knot blew my mind just now

these motherfuckers have no idea what they’re stirring up, holy shit

In Minneapolis

Who’s got the new death cab album

Checking in on CBS News(max)

please look at my neighbors, running *towards the murder squads* to protect other neighbors. we're gonna win.

Wrote about the Ellisons attempted takeover of Hollywood for the new cover of @nymag.com

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

Find a local anti-ICE protest this weekend.

This woman has weapons-grade Minnesota Nice face

This game looks insane and this speed run is even more insane youtu.be/_kgftIivXYk?...

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do. What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

Losers, all of them, unpopular simps who got their first taste of approval in tech and immediately became addicts

Pair this with a re-read of Project HOPE's Making Political Violence Backfire, which @ezralevin.bsky.social does a quick summary of here: bsky.app/profile/ezra...

This is why public backlash and mobilizing is so crucial. ICE is an out-of-control secret police and if the lesson they learn from this week is that escalating violence against civilians = less protest and less oversight, they will put that lesson into action. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

This is what your family members voted for but you don’t bring it up at Christmas This is what you’ve been kowtowing to This is what you’ve been trying to placate This is what you’ve been trying to blame the most vulnerable for This is what you’re yearning to meet halfway

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

There we go. That there’s a headline.

It’s called Wilhoit’s law! And it has a funny origin story to boot slate.com/business/202...

The coolest guy I ever interviewed, and the only person on TV to ever encourage me to read, would never have reached me with that message in a million years without CBP

“The only thing the elite Washington press corps likes more than a bipartisan commission on debt reduction is a stack of flag-draped coffins.” web.archive.org/web/20200103...

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Pam Herd and I had a long debate about how to interpret Mamdani's reference to "abundance." Anyway, here is what he actually said. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/understand...
