::checks to see if there even is a senator named Chris McDaniel::

Yes he can be crazy on his own but I don’t think this particular strain is coincidence. People feed him things to flatter him, and election denial is a favorite enticement.

At some point it has to be acknowledged that the 'just placate him' strategy has been tested to destruction.

It's gotta be up and running by now, if any of you have an invite code for the Internet of Women DM me.

If we're going to live in a Bioshock-esque Randian society, can I at least get the Big Daddy procedure?

Das Massaker von Babyn Jar 1941: Zeitzeuginnengespräch mit Switlana Petrowskaja am 27. Januar 2026 in der @topographie.de (Berlin). Eine Veranstaltung der Stiftung Topographie des Terrors, der Stiftung Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas und des Vereins KONTAKTE-KOHTAKTbI.

He's posting this because he thinks it'll embarrass Macron. Recall he had a hissy fit earlier tonight about Macron declining to join his bogus Board of Peace. (Link to that vid below)

Andy Ogles is a two-bit conman, a liar, and a fraud. He's Tennessee's answer to George Santos Somehow, the FBI investigation into his campaign finance fraud is still open, which explains why he's desperately trying to get Trump's attention right now.

ICE knows what they’re doing is illegal, and they’re afraid of legal consequences. That’s why they reassure recruits with talk about immunity. One of the most under-utilized tools we have to slowing them is talking loudly and frequently about future prosecutions.

OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

This is like when he says he isn't corrupt because he already has a lot of money and doesn't care about getting more.

The intrusive thought I am struggling with is imagining in a few months this becomes the norm across the U.S., for all state and federal officials.

I think I can finally talk about how I once almost got fired over bagels. Years ago I moved from the NYC area to the SF Bay Area. At the time there was nowhere to get a decent bagel (this has now changed, thank goodness). Bagels are one of my core food groups, so this was bad. Then, inspiration.

I have heard a lot of "listen the leaders are just doing what the public wants, focusing on the big normie issues". And I don't necessarily disagree! but I am looking at the scoreboard and not sure why we'd trust these leaders.

yiddish is just so yiddish. I love it.

This is horrible and scary even if this was the whole thing. But it is not the whole thing. When the Nazis and Soviets invaded Poland in 1939, the Soviets initially were WAY faster and more efficient at rounding up, murdering, and deporting people. Why? They had almost 20 years of experience.

You know how much corn, soybean, or canola oil you can buy for the cost of a single bottle of avocado oil?

This is a really important story, and one that explains the place of the Hmong community in the Twin Cities and why this entire occupation is really just ethnic cleansing (my words). Also, props to Marisa for doing the work to get this story right when so many out-of-town journalists have failed.

na man we should absolutely dodge the Feeding Our Future scandal, it's politically poisonous, if we want to talk about good government we can talk about how in every red state they steal all the welfare money to pay for car dealers' perma-tans.

This is what posting is. Getting the intrusive thoughts out of your brain for the benefit of a few dozen people.

For a lot of Dem elites, nothing is more important than bringing blue-collar white Christian men back to the Democratic Party. Nothing. Everything and everyone else is expendable. For ex, the article below in which a CNN Senior Political Analyst says “working class” is “whites only.”

ICE knows what they’re doing is illegal, and they’re afraid of legal consequences. That’s why they reassure recruits with talk about immunity. One of the most under-utilized tools we have to slowing them is talking loudly and frequently about future prosecutions.

'Across randomized trials, she preferred the bristled end but switched to the stick end when targeting softer lower-body areas....Our findings broaden the taxonomic scope of flexible tool use and invite a reassessment of livestock cognition.'

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

Let’s see an A/B test with this and “laser focus on groceries and health insurance premiums” from the Dems. I guarantee we know which does better.

The display [...] omits the suggestive references made in the birthday message to Epstein obtained and released by House investigators last year, which was purported to be authored by the president. It instead bore the inscription: “Happy birthday to a ‘Terrific guy!’”

Turns out not winning the Nobel prize was a severe narcissistic injury for Trump. What you’re seeing below is called narcissistic rage. The FIFA trophy probably made it worse. The board of peace is him trying to compete with and supersede the prestige of the peace prize.

No matter how much you dislike the Kennedy family, it’s never enough.

Here's a way around this mess: appeal to an outside authority who can offer independent judgment on the legitimacy of those captured checks & the autocratic holdovers manning them. Would such a strategy be viable for the US Supreme Court? Who knows? But it's worth a shot.

Giving a talk today about Martin Luther King, Jr's Poor People's Campaign for WVU's Americorps. Probably don't need to say why MLK Day this year feels a little more urgent--just a little more. The work of transformation is always urgent.

I’ve long said it. ICE is full of opportunistic psychopaths. They joined bc they wanted to hurt and kill innocent people without consequences. This is not a training issue. It’s a violent psychopath issue.

One of the best proposals I’ve seen lately. Also pretty easy to message bc what American gives a shit about Trump’s Scottish golf course

Here’s a good illustration of why “we don’t have the majority” is a cynical and boring excuse for doing or saying nothing.

What part of training addresses “Don’t shoot a woman in the face and call her a fucking bitch?” People join ICE because they want to hurt and kill people and not face consequences. Denial, cope, whatever you call it, the problem is the psychopaths.

We should get started planning the ICE Troikas of 2028-2029.

What I would do if I were them is say to their American counterparts "then say he should be in prison". "What?" "You just told me you think he is a modern Hitler right? The thought experiment is if you would KILL Hitler if you traveled back in time. You can't even call for him to go to prison?"

Counterpoint: they should also be saying "this is stupid and absolutely super duper illegal and anyone who goes along with it is going to prison"

This kind of extraordinary humanity is almost always a one-way street. It happens again and again, though people work hard to forget or frame them as both-sides falsehoods.

Use it or lose it, democracy edition. Adding alt text to images

Not important relative to everything else, but this is a smartly composed letter. There’s no one thing in it you can point to as too much, but there’s an unmistakeable echo of “Fuck You” lingering about. I tip my cap to the writer, who I’d bet is professionally employed in corporate comms.

The city of brotherly love beckons

People are desperate for a champion who speaks to the emergency. Some mock this as "theatrics," but it's a serious, worsening problem. Fascism thrives on people feeling isolated, helpless, and hopeless, and Dem leaders are doing a bang-up job of making the base feel abandoned.

Not quite “on the edge of a remark” to say Jews control the world through secret puppeteering. Robert Jenrick is a POS but it doesn’t change the fact that his wife and daughters are Jewish.

Another reason the Dems strategy of "Republicans have all the power, all we can do is fundraise on the cost of living" is a really, really, really stupid move.

A quick🧵 Fascism thrives on people feeling isolated, helpless, and hopeless. When Dem elites talk and act like it's a regular election cycle, staying “laser-focused” on groceries in their holy quest to convert blue-collar white christian voters, it leaves the rest of us feeling truly abandoned.
