I didn't say it. The Germans did.

Still true, seven years on. This time sheltering from a Cerberus of authoritarianism, AI, and late stage capitalism.

Greenland be like, oh yeah? Guess what? I'm invading YOU!

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Tory MP Simon Hoare has given a very vivid quote about Donald Trump's comments on Nato allies, which could actually be used in many contexts about the US president: "Frankly Trump makes my flesh creep and my stomach turn. Where are his advisors? Where is his nurse? Where is his sense of shame?"

X's product head has multiple brushes with death from failing to chew

Sen Ted Cruz is very sensitive to cold!

Make sure to balance out your righteous anger towards modern society in healthy, productive, and fulfilling ways. Tell your friend you love them. Write up positive reviews of things you enjoy. Go for walks and get some sun, or cuddle up with a pet . Don't be angry all the time, you'll burn out.

Woke up from a reimagined Three’s Company in which John Ritter had three legs and stood like a tripod. His two roommates were coincidental. Much less weird than the reality I wake up to these days.

This beautiful child, an American citizen just like his parents, is being bullied because Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and white supremacy feels emboldened to act without shame. This hatred is taught and it is wrong.

This is freakin’ amazing www.instagram.com/reel/DTkjRQy...

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

who wants to play "is it racist or am i just being a bitch again" with me. there are no winners in this game

How do we demolish what's left of their ratings?

It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Look I’m as right wing as they come but I have sincere questions about Christian kids in high school sports. God’s always helping them and that isn’t fair. That’s why I support common sense legislation to keep them locked in tiny cages under the school where other students can poke them with sticks.

Most Americans don't want Greenland. They want the Epstein files.

Bandcamp has banned AI music. The company has released a statement which includes the following: "Music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp." stereogum.com/2485199/band...

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

Suspended from his job at Ford for accurately calling out the pedophile führer as a "pedophile protector," TJ Sabula is an Patriot and American hero. As a reminder, in 2026, ZERO out of OVER 2 FUCKING MILLION Epstein files and documents have yet to be released. 😳👇

Abandoned Car on an Isolated Road with Cut Seatbelt still in natural and no one to be found Minnesota

Like this woman, I am autistic with a brain injury. This onslaught of noise, intimidation and mixed messaging would have paralyzed me. I guess I shouldn’t go out any more.

An autistic woman with a brain injury is dragged away by ICE for not responding quickly enough. Just as my brain damaged, autistic self would/will be.

Who honestly supports this shit? They gave this woman about 8 conflicting commands, broke her window and drug her out of her car.

“.. Federal agents grab a woman to drag her away from her car, days after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.” @reuters.com

Mexico's President Sheinbaum held a 15 minute call with US dictator Trump; she declined offers of US military operations and ruled out US military intervention in Mexico. Trump asked her about Mexico's position on Venezuela, and she responded that Mexico opposes military interventions.

"It’s a seismic shift that runs counter to the E.P.A.’s mission statement, which says the agency’s core responsibility is to protect human health and the environment, environmental law experts said." Take out the last four words, NYT.

I had never heard of Wanda Sykes until about five minutes ago, being as I am both Old and Very British, but in that Golden Globes acceptance speech she has managed to be more funny and honest in thirty seconds than R*cky G*rvais has in his entire career.

Victoria’s a good show

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

I dunno, this feels problematic

It's a maximally dangerous moment for the republic any time Trump has to watch other people winning awards, which I will remain certain that he is doing for the next three hours unless provided with incontrovertible evidence to the contrary.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Homan: "There will be more bloodshed unless we decrease the hateful rhetoric"

If we’d just let Trump do whatever he likes, it would all be fine.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

Very important thoughts continue on X

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

Succinct

7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election: Durbin Hassan Kaine King Klobuchar Shaheen Welch
