Found a hat home for my USPIS pin from @alexschmidty.bsky.social & @katiegoldin.bsky.social’s SIFpod. Of my couple of must-listen weekly pods, Secretly Incredibly Fascinating is the one I recommend most, since my others are pretty mainstream-popular already. It’s an hour of joy every Monday!

mostly I am tired of people with 3 passports and 6 multinational conglomerates lecturing me on the virtues of ethnic nationalism

I feel like @peggyflanagan.bsky.social's and @governorwalz.mn.gov's statements match the moment and the mood of people around here a LOT more than this does. It's like Churchill said, “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone. Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.

As a normal person who’s had him as governor, agreed!

Hi! Normal person here. Gavin Newsom is weird and I wouldn’t vote for him

This money has already been allocated by Congress. Why am I paying federal taxes for this man to terrorize my state with secret police and measles?

It would be great if the top two stories about the executive branch were not a huge multinational child rape coverup and the establishment of a gulag of concentration camps

Regardless of what you think of Trump's policies, "Panican" is absolutely elite political communication on the merits. Of course everyone instantly grasps what it means and it just looks so good on the page, but furthermore it's also very easy to imagine how someone would say it aloud.

I said DON'T panic

Here's some pure joycore for you. It's free and it's got so many guinea pigs wearing hats. You're welcome.

Native families were promised free solar. Trump took it away. [via @dailyyonder.bsky.social]

It's been said many times, many ways: the fascists thought winning an election would mean winning the culture, and the fact that hasn't happened is making them rabid.

I love to see this meme going around. I absolutely didn’t notice when I watched it on TV years ago that he’s holding two skateboards. Have to give credit to my producer Kevin, who I’m 80% sure gave this to me as a “I have an idea for one more thing” after we were done.

I never noticed this either.

Never Forget

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.

UK Labour is a case study in what happens when you prioritize winning over actually standing for something. They chased the center-right so hard they’re basically just the Tories in red ties now.

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

crypto wouldn't be falling like this if trump was president

Let’s be honest: in many of these winter Olympic “sports”, the snow is doing most of the work. An unexpected thaw would expose these so-called athletes for the frauds they are

Lovely, and heartbreaking. Help out his family if you can: everloved.com/life-of/dan-...

A new classic from yesterday

Seeing these two headlines side-by-side is really something

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

America is yearning for "it."

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

New: Immigration agents have shot a dozen people since Sept--yet police are often skipping any investigation After agents near Chicago killed a man, an officer asked if chief who would investigate. The answer: “You’re not going to investigate a federal officer” www.propublica.org/article/why-...

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

It's genuinely kind of funny that the ALL-AMERICAN MAGA HALFTIME SHOW is going to have the guy who sang this as its headliner right in the middle of all the Epstein stuff

The wokest!

Doesn’t look like ICE is drawing back.

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

Impeachment is the only Constitutional check Congress has against a lawless president and talking about it would be a good start to reasserting Congressional power in the future. Assuming of course Congress wants to do that

this phenomenon has been particularly maddening to me
