This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I say this regularly. People use performative as a substitute for 'inauthentic' and we could all just say the words we mean to say. Erving Goffman helps us to understand that we perform all of the time in real life. Life itself is often a performance of self.

For the Interept, I reported from Uganda about the effects of USAID cuts on LGBTQ people, HIV prevention activists and sex workers—and tried to tell the story from the POV of these important but criminalized communities. Please read and share. theintercept.com/2026/02/09/t...

unions endorsing almost any republican is handing a knife to your own mugger endorsing greg abbott is putting your own head on the chopping block and telling the headsman he doesn't have to worry about sharpening the axe

fighting with an insurers truly makes you value Our American Freedoms doesn’t it

so is TDU going to condemn this in any way shape or form, or is it just fully committed to complicity?

niche question: who actually makes up the allied label post-GCC purge from IBT?

regardless of your view of legacy media, billionaires buying up respected outlets and then censoring and gutting reporting is a part of the fascist playbook. the only way to fight back is through newsroom unions. back the @wbng.org WaPo staff facing down layoffs actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

honestly whomst among us hasn’t thought during GOTV that a nice 24 hour involuntary time out would be nice

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

who’s the sleepiest boy

wow Corey Perry just as trash as ever

been a while since I did this to myself

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

it’s sometimes insane to me that Long Island actually has a hockey team

can you actually imagine existing in the world without headphones between you and reality

Seth grove can, and I cannot stress this enough, fuck right off

senate democrats are going to settle for a "better trained" mass deportation machine with better PR, aren't they

“US Catholic bishops make urgent pleas to rein in ICE after recent deaths.” "‘We ask — for the love of God and the love of human beings, which can’t be separated — vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organization,’ Cardinal Joseph Tobin said.” religionnews.com/2026/01/27/c...

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

can… data center outages… be this specific…? www.cnbc.com/2026/01/27/t...

@wgaeast.bsky.social members at Hearst are fighting for a fair contract with better wages, AI protections and more. But management has refused to address workers’ concerns. Workers need your support. Tell Hearst Magazines executives: agree to a fair contract now!

Breaking per NBC News — CBP has shot and critically wounded another person, this time in Arizona. Very few details available at this time.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

beyond parody

there's no time to be sad because there is so much mutual aid to do

my sole motivation right now is to watch these motherfuckers at their tribunals

The very same people who defended Kyle Rittenhouse for bringing an assault weapon to a protest and murdering people are the same people now proclaiming Alex Pretti shouldn't have been lawfully armed in his own community—and that somehow justifies his murder by ICE.

The video pretty clearly shows the armed thugs taking the gun out of his waistband, throwing it to the side, then emptying a clip into his body. But you keep on licking those boots, Chip.

At a rally in Union Square right now, Council member @chiosse.bsky.social tells the crowd, “We certainly need to abolish ICE, but that’s not enough—we need Nuremberg trials.”

The anxiety I’ve had for weeks has turned to pure blood-boiling levels of anger, and it feels like that’s where a lot of us have landed today. Good.

I never thought I'd ever say that Bill Kristol has his shit together better than a solid chunk of the Democratic Party.

honestly will is occasionally right and he’s correct on this one opsec navel gazing is hugely overblown at the expense of actually building power, to the extent that activists police themselves better than the feds do

The picture of arrested clergy also a good reminder to high level Democrats: things that hurt Trump don't automatically become news, especially with the general conservative bent of most media. You have to fucking go there and make it news

🗣️NO ICE IN OUR STREETS! #MOworkers in Kansas City are joining the nationwide Day of Truth and Freedom, right as our siblings in Minnesota launch their historic general strike 💪

this is some fox's book of martyrs shit. jesus christ.

hope isn’t essential to resistance, but i feel more hopeful in our capacity to win than i have in a long, long time

please boycott the world cup and the olympics

This is the top headline on the NYT today

Dabo Swinney has endorsed collective bargaining as a respite from the current transfer system. Dabo Swinney, the deeply conservative coach of South Carolina's flagship university, is calling for his employees to form a union. A better world is possible.

Not so few. I didn't get any pics of the crowd while marshaling, but here's a selfie after about ninety minutes.

Vance: “The stakes are existential, …It is about whether we remain a civilization under God, or whether we will ultimately return to the paganism that has dominated the past” The subtext here is that anti-abortionism is for Vance about white Christians having babies www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

every single week I talk myself out of unregistering as a Democrat because of closed primaries, and boy is it getting old

Throw every single one out of the Democratic caucus. I don’t fucking give a shit about hemming and hawing. You’re either a party that supports funding the SS or you’re not.

That means unions and the labor movement if you read between the lines.

NEW: A majority of voters are now unfavorable of ICE. While ICE was viewed favorably by +13-point margin at the beginning of Trump’s second term, it is now viewed unfavorably by a -9-point margin.

ICE is underwater with noncollege whites, god damn
