The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

I have been feeling a lot of anger lately due to our political climate. Dolly made this video today for her 80th birthday to benefit pediatric cancer. We can’t lose hope. youtu.be/McaD2PG8jOE

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

i know this isn't exactly mindblowing but i'm fucking mad that it's easier to become an ice agent than to get a us visa slate.com/news-and-pol...

The data has been turned into a searchable tool on HaveIBeenFlocked.com, which says it has data on more than 2.3 million license plates and tens of millions of Flock searches. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/police-unmas...

Before Canadians get all smug as they usually do, just remember how often things like this happen here and get very little, if any, media attention. Police, and "civilian", settlers here shoot Indigenous people all the time and usually get away with it. www.ctvnews.ca/windsor/arti...

Part of what's great about Eric Foner's scholarship on this, for our purposes, is that it's about responding to kidnappings in an urban environment!

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Anita Ekberg dealing with some paparazzi, Rome 1960.

41 years ago today, The Pretenders released Learning to Crawl, their comeback after a hiatus following the tragic deaths of James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon. Led by Chrissie Hynde, "Back on the Chain Gang," "Middle of the Road," and "Show Me" make this album a classic.

Radio station just played "The Load Out" by Jackson Browne - aka "The Roadie Song". It always brings memories of all the crews/bands I worked with...and this movie staring Meatloaf, Art Carney, Debbie Harry, Alice Cooper, Roy Orbison, Hank Williams Jr. "Everything will work if you let it!"

Not the least bit surprising...

We could all use more "soothing and wonderfully bloopy" 😄

FFS. ICE is targeting Native Americans!

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

today has me so angry I can’t believe it. all this evil crap going down and then they kill a woman who looks to have been a gentle and lovely soul. even Charlottesville didnt hit me this hard. damn. may need brown liquor but it’s a week night.

Renee Nicole Good is the one whose reputation should be protected, whose death should be marked by flags across the country being lowered to half-staff, who should be getting tearful tributes and acknowledgments from politicians and media figures. These are the people we ought to honor.

Hundreds gather to mourn Renee Good, Minneapolis woman shot and killed by ICE agent. They are chanting: “Say her name! Renee Good!“ www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen. Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

More than most of those who ever spoke their ugliness about me. Those who believe them, need to read this too. At my age, you won't find many Indigenous not assimilated that didn't suffer incredibly 🪶

Its called 'produced water' and its so toxic that you shouldn't even let it hit your skin. 🪶"They know not what they have done." Words that hit hard when I think on the state of this planet

If I decided it was too much bother to clean my house so I moved into an igloo in Antarctica for the rest of my life, you'd think I was awful stupid. Tech bros deciding they'd lose too much profit if they stopped destroying the Earth because they can move to Mars someday is even stupider.

Todd Blanche said it is DOJ policy NOT to release photos that contain victims. So . . . the release of [undoctored] photos with Bill Clinton is an exoneration of him and refusing to release pics with Donald Trump is an admission of Trump's culpability. Good to know.

Australian here 👋 Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work. There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996. We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.
