"Imagine if we actually followed the Constitution."

What a relief to have Zohran as mayor

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Every time someone had a chance to hand Catherine O'Hara a full two minutes of monologue and chose to go for it was an eternal blessing

OAKLAND SHOWIN OUT

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

“Unfortunately, Liam’s health is not doing great right now,” said the superintendent for Liam’s Columbia Heights Public Schools District. “He’s been ill. I’ve been told he has a fever. So I’m very, very concerned about his well-being in that facility.” people.com/liam-conejo-...

The ethos of Trumpism is the ethos of the most pathetic schoolyard bully: I can say and do anything to you, but if you say anything back, I will run mewling to the teacher. Just despicable liars nad snivvelers.

Howdy folks! We’re gearing up for our 2025 year in review episode, so just wanted to put it on your radar - stay tuned here for our Social Links Question of the Week in the next day or so!

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year. *That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

“According to limited data compiled by the Deportation Data Project, ICE took 3,800 children into immigration detention with their parents between January and October 2025, including children as young as one or two years old.” english.elpais.com/usa/2026-01-...

On this day in 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was liberated. Between 5,000-15,000 homosexual men were sent to concentration camps. About 60% of them died there. After the camps were liberated, many of these men were reimprisoned under buggery laws. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Friendly reminder that Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO has the same BPM as the intro theme to Evangelion

TikTok uninstalls are reportedly up ~150% this week 📱 This follows the U.S. joint venture takeover (via CNBC)

Giving them more training won't make them more peaceful. It'll just make their brutalization more polished and effective.

“The veteran tells @people.com he's had a headache and a stomach ache, as well as trouble sleeping, since he learned what happened to Pretti.” "I don’t like looking at the TV about it. I don’t want to read any newspaper stories,” he said. "I don’t use the word ‘hero,’ but I guess I could say that."

Good. We hate you. Everyone hates you. Even you hate yourselves.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

“We need our sports owners supporting vulnerable Minnesotans. During the federal occupation, we’re all vulnerable Minnesotans.”

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I WANT MORE ELECTED DEMS TO SAY "future prosecution of ICE agents."

You: It can’t happen to me. The state: we looked into this white guy we killed and we do feel a need to bring up these parking tickets

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

a hero and a martyr

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

This is my home. This is happening in my neighborhood. Don’t pretend this isn’t happening. Do something. This is your heroes call or whatever you need. Help. If you don’t know how, ask us. We aren’t hidden. Silence and turning away is killing us.

it's really good that Oracle bought TikTok, a business that only loses money, at a time when it took on $56bn+ in debt and $240bn in lease obligations for GPUs to rent to OpenAI, a company that will run out of money. This could all have the funniest ending ever

We need to start having protestors stationed at all hospitals to monitor for ICE and make a ruckus when they’re there so immigrants seeking care don’t get snatched by these incel motherfuckers.

A 2-year old. This is a baby. newrepublic.com/post/205638/...

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

“In cellphone footage taken by Vaca from inside his Biddeford home at the end of an interaction with immigration officers, an ICE agent puts his face against the window of the front door and says, ‘We're gonna come back for your whole family, OK?’” people.com/ice-agent-fi...

“We know that these stories are overwhelming and downright heartbreaking, but we have to stay vigilant,” writes @yunao08.bsky.social. “The Trump admin wants these documented abuses of power to fall through the cracks. We are not letting that happen.” americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/abuse-of-p...

Trump: "Sometimes you need a dictator."

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

“It has never been about the victims. It’s about powerful men covering up for each other, and that cover-up continues … Shame on all those who are obstructing the victims getting the full release of all the files that they deserve.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

For those keeping score at home, ICE has no authority to detain U.S. citizens for any reason. It is NOT a law enforcement agency, it is an immigration enforcement agency. U.S. immigration laws are CIVIL code, not criminal code. Technically, ICE agents shouldn't even be allowed to carry weapons.

Okay, these Animal Crossing cross promotional events are getting kinda wild

What pisses me off, these fuckers wrote down on paper what the fuck they were going to do to you and you just went "Meh, egg prices is Biden fault and the Democrats didn't earn my vote." Stupid shit

Project 2025 had damn near all of this in it. Too bad folks didn't read it. Yeah, Harris told you to read it at every chance but that was the reason most of you didn't read it.

I feel like I’m going insane, there is, like, an actual Venezuelan government that still exists

A national disgrace.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

The “peace” President has started a war.

Between my Moms health stuff over the last couple of weeks, our dogs issues this week, and the world writ large I’ve developed a second eye twitch. <insert this is fine meme here (which I won’t do because nothing is)>
