It’s been that kind of week. @wsj.com @financialtimes.com @bloomberg.com @nbcnews.com

once my son woke me up to ask what a three dimensional hexagon was called. yes, please. ask me about the gay instead.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

spent some time in Chicago, and also at a very nice library at Yale, trying to understand JB Pritzker www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Unidos somos América.

🚨🚨IT IS BASEBALL SEASON

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

This Super Bowl is so awful that I can only interpret it as God’s judgment on us for re-electing Trump.

this Super Bowl commercial: butts honestly, fair point

Donald Trump is a racist.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

it's also an incredible coup for NJ WFP, who left it all on the field—likely snagging the governor's suburban congressional seat with their own former director as the candidate, just months after the first independent progressives were elected to the state legislature

lololol I spoke too soon, but it applies even more so to Mejia.

Add Malinowski’s win to this list.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

I've read some data about the voting habits of wrestling fans, and the big thing is that they're disengaged. So if ICE's many atrocities are breaking through to an extent that even they're chanting "Fuck ICE"...

"Really hard criminals"

This is easily as out of touch as anything Trump says. And it’s self-refuting. The “fake drawdown” is *because* people are still ripshit.

You might think sports isn’t as important as other parts of the paper, but the WaPo covers sports like news — sports betting, political lobbying by leagues, accountability journalism even for local owners like Dan Snyder. No wonder the moneyed class didn’t like WaPo sports.

I think it’s instructive that, in the Trump era, we had two candidates who visibly stiff-armed the left (even if you think they had a good reason) and one who visibly kissed up to the left, and it was only the latter that won. There’s a lesson here, if we’re willing to learn.

Local and sports are killers. WaPo is dying. The sports page has always been one of the most read parts of the paper, and local coverage is what sets a paper apart. Without it, WaPo isn’t going to do anything you can’t get on cable news.

Democrats should say if they take Congress they will investigate Elon Musks pedophile-enabling service because Republicans won’t. They should also say they will review all his SpaceX contracts so the American taxpayers aren’t financing the creation of kiddie porn.

"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Derek Dooley said it best about his losing coaching record, “your film is your resume.” So let’s take a look at his film:

Yeah, even in the 90s, when the culture about teenage girls was far more toxic, Spacey's character was widely recognized as really weird. Now, we'd flat out call him a monster, but even back then, people knew that the character was gross.

What is it you would say you do here, exactly?

A Democratic US Attorney would be rendered an unperson for saying this.

Worth stating plainly: we *are* actually watching Trumps plan for the midterms, but its not the plan bsky doomers think it is. Trumps electoral plan is to double down on all the things voters hate while simultaneously lying to their faces & saying their concerns arent real. It will continue thru Nov

Good election results are good in their own right bc the Republican Party should be stripped of power in all ways possible. But they’re also good bc they signal that the people are as fed up with this as you are.

People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

if you’re very worried about being declared an enemy of the state posting on Bluesky, or really anywhere, is an odd choice

Another #onhere problem! Anyone who has done any real life organizing has *absolutely* met TONS of people like this!

The funny thing is, folks out in the real world already understand this. These interminable “opsec” debates only occur on this platform.

Folks on here need to remember that there is power in displaying fearlessness. There’s a reason Texans are so fond of saying, “Come and take it.”

The regime is on tilt. It's desperately flailing because it lacks the critically necessary popular support to get what it wants. But also, what it's doing is scary. It's OK to be scared. But it ain't OK to quit.

Many of you have truly impressive, Cal Ripken-like streaks of never clicking through a link

I don’t read the pills as predicting a given electoral outcome, but rather as evidence that most people, like me, hate this shit. And seeing that helps me continue on.

One giveaway about how ignorant this is is that tons and tons of states don't even have partisan registration.

I honestly would be very interested to see another legitimate left-of-center party to rise up, but let's be honest, every real possibility is *worse* at all the objective measures.

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

Tesla is a pretty good example of how the elites, be they political, financial, or media, are completely disconnected from reality.

I don’t believe that they’re actually contrite or that they really want to change anything, but this is a “we know we fucked up” press conference.

Agents arresting John Gotti, who actually had assassins at his command - showing their faces because they aren't ashamed of their jobs

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody. She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care. We need to reform immigration detention.

Also: the cause doesn’t end when Miller is gone! It doesn’t end when Trump is gone! The cause is human liberty, and we get to always fight for it.
