we need every grain of sand in the gears. every single one.

A note from our editors:

This is why the right is fixated on celebrities' politics, censor libraries, fake NYT bestseller status for their books, and want to dictate school curricula. Cultural production is how values are instilled in large populations

Listen I don’t want to call this an extinction level event but, It feels like an extinction level event

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

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

for Alex Pretti

let me put it this way. if you do not believe ICE should be abolished, you probably DO need to watch the video

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

JD Vance is about to get on camera and worship Satan with an offering of lies.

Our government is killing us.

Funding ICE is the extreme position.

Jesus, they fired multiple times at a person who was laying on his back, toes pointed straight up. Seven democrats voted to fund this like three days ago.

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I’m not going to stop refreshing until I see him in a photo holding a newspaper with the date on it.

There’s vomit on his sweater already, Curt Cignetti.

Stunning photos from Minneapolis, including this one by John Locher for the Associated Press. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

Lucy and the football every goddamn time with this dude.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Every time Trump knocks down a boundary or busts a political or cultural norm, he always always pushes for more. If there are no consequences for this, he will do worse.

We're gonna run Venezuela via Zoom.

I went to bed in 2026 and woke up in 1898.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Any reporter at all: Ask him the author of the Monroe Doctrine

shel silverstein was a prophet

😂

Grab some Kleenex before opening.

One of John McCain's better takes was that MMA is "human cockfighting" and evades the whole point of why there are fairly strict rules and regulations around boxing, in contrast.

am I doing this meme right

@jenpsaki.bsky.social just said that the speech was the Micro Machines Man™ meets Pinocchio, and that seems about right.

i suspect that speech will convince absolutely nobody

Can we impeach this guy with a discharge petition?

Okay, folks, the 25th Amendment is there for a reason.

This weird guy is shouting at me that everything is 600 percent cheaper, “numbers that were never conceived possible.” He’s got the numbers never conceived possible part right. #Trump

feels stupid to say at this point but how the fuck isn't anyone invoking the 25th amendment.

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year. This is not normal and we don't have to live this way. bradyunited.org @bradyunited.org

@chadbourn.bsky.social This is fucking ridiculous.

Kiddo is learning the Pythagorean theorem so I finally have the pleasure of introducing him to the hippopotenuse

If we can afford ICE, we can fucking afford UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.

Some closing thoughts for my students this semester on LLMs and learning #rstats datavizf25.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2025-12...

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

I am so fucking sick of these people. The worst, most cruel, human beings imaginable, and they are somehow in charge of everything. I can’t wait for a time when we can go through a whole day without being forced to read and hear about our government doing awful shit.

expanding the court is the moderate position

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

Walk off pass deflection like everyone predicted
