The Internet told me that corn starch could remove the musty smell from old books, but I tried it and I am not convinced.

was going to answer my email tonight and ended up paying ten families' rents instead. oops

Honestly this is too moderate a goal, Woke 2 needs to be so totalizng that historians thinking it went too far isn't possible anymore Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

i just don’t think some guys who thought only they and their ugly-ass friends should be allowed to vote and run shit should be our north star anymore. i just think like…surely there are better options

Walk aside the true folk, and let the traitors stay.

Because of vociferous public opposition, there will be no ICE warehouse in Merrimack, New Hampshire. whdh.com/news/dhs-opt...

There is something wrong with the world when the family of the creator of one of the biggest toy lines of the 1980s that has a major motion picture coming out this summer from a studio owned by one of the world's richest men has to set up a GoFundMe to survive. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ro...

I hope when all this is over that we can move on from a toy democracy for slave owners

In the general milieu of competitive authoritarian regimes the “Loyal opposition” is usually More devoted to decorum than to justice and more devoted to civility than to accountability unless it is civilian accountability for perceived incivility against the state or its agents.

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

Merry Pippin Frodo Sam

Zero dignity opposition party. You can be there yelling or you can be absent but there is no honor in this nonsense civility show. I swear they'd attend their own executions politely

Oh it's entirely a show of doing a marathon humoring of grandpa. This is the extended family trip to Cracker Barrel with him the night before he finally goes into the assisted living facility

Spines are few and far between in this party but those that have them, have them.

Seriously, all this speech needs is a burning cross behind Vance and Johnson.

The government is an open and proud fascist entity now.

I’m sure Americans everywhere will be incredibly impressed with how much decorum and respect for the institution Democrats showed by sitting politely while the President repeatedly insulted them and spewed racist drivel.

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Trump complains about Democrats shutting down DHS. "They're killing Americans," Tlaib says

I'm in the House chamber for Trump's SOTU and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) is doing a Democratic rebuttal in real time from the floor, saying stuff like, "lies," "what's he talking about," while Trump rambles on... not sure he can hear her but I'm about the same distance as he is from her seat

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Never say the American dream is dead. Only in the United States can a Grand Wizard of the Klan give a State of the Union address.

Rep. Ilhan Omar shouts repeatedly at Trump: "You have killed Americans!"

Colonizers 🤝 cannibalism www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/f...

In Gaza, hunger invades homes, leaving children to sleep hungry, louder than the bombs. We need food, safety, and the world’s attention. Please don’t look away from our pain. 💔 gofund.me/d14cbe76

“To not acknowledge the unique effect of a racial slur is a form of indifference to the suffering of others. The problem of being indifferent to the suffering of black folk while also imploring folks to have empathy for Davidson cannot be understated.” — @nubluesnick.bsky.social

"Prominent economists, including from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, calculate that the AI buildup was directly responsible not for 92 percent or 39 percent of gains to the U.S. economy in 2025, but as little as zero."

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is how Republicans used to talk & the types of dog whistles they used to employ before they found out it's perfectly acceptable to talk The Current Way So the shift hereis the logical progression when the only expectation of a party is to be The Lesser Evil

Thank you @racketmn.com for publishing this piece written by a member of one of the families we’ve been supporting. I’m very grateful for your help getting her story and perspective out there. racketmn.com/because-of-i...

This is enough to fully convince me that Kristi Noem is herself a cannibal.

"An affordability crisis" is a hell of a weird way to spell "concentration camps and secret police murdering people in the streets"

A second edition of Good Society from @storybrewersroleplaying.com is on the way? We are most fortunate to be granted such a bounty by creators refined in both countenance and wisdom. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

The Pentagon will now use Elon Musk's Grok AI on classified projects and weapons development systems. This comes after Grok drew controversy for producing explicit images of underage girls.

This link everything we have to help us rebuild I just want to say this everything can help us after gencide and losing everything and every support is appreciated and in our hearts forever

We need NYC-based authors/writers to use their skills to share the importance of public libraries in the 21st century. If this is you, write things and post them to all of your networks. Also sign a letter to the City Council: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

It’s worth explicitly restating: allowing the oppressor class to do this is the PRIMARY FUNCTION of antisemitism!

Are they actually going to let Trump deliver a State of the Union speech with press in attendance? Every time they put him on camera these days, he seems barely coherent.

Because I referenced this saying, I feel the need to point out that Mussolini did NOT in fact make the trains run on time. Even fascism's supposed silver linings are always BS. www.snopes.com/fact-check/l...

"An affordability crisis" is a hell of a weird way to spell "concentration camps and secret police murdering people in the streets"

I think more people should ask why they or the movements they’re associated with don’t have the credibility to convince Black people of their good intentions and what it would look like to build such credibility up.

It’s worth explicitly restating: allowing the oppressor class to do this is the PRIMARY FUNCTION of antisemitism!

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Elon Musk’s right-wing populist politics, because he wants to brand himself as a populist insurgent against the “elites,” but as the world’s wealthiest person, he needs a definition of elite not rooted in actual material wealth.

What this technology is going to do is not end higher education, but it is going to undo so much of the baseline work on accessibility by pushing overworked professors to take things back to offline modalities, in person timed exams, keeping tech out of the classroom, etc.

Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.

Aside from the instance of uttering the slur look at the societal response to it! Black people nearly unanimously saying it's fucked up if we're disabled or not, white people gathering their full force to defend it! Racism is literally the only thing white folks know how to be a collective about!
