I haven’t stopped laughing at this since the day it was posted

This is good.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

The winner of today's one-liner goes to a guy who looked like he was sleeping. Scene: the ENT clinic, waiting for audiologist Asst calls a name three times. Asst (just loudly enough to be heard): I really wish people would pay attention. Guy: I bet many of the people here wish they could hear.

Beating the drum again that successful mass strikes take time to plan and organize, as definition and communication of goals is the biggest priority, so step one is basically “Herd One Million Cats” The UAW has been planning one to take place in 2028 for YEARS.

Also, if we had a more liberal immigration policy (or even open borders) in the 1930s we could have saved millions of Jewish lives. The US turning away Jewish refugees for nothing more than antisemitism condemned to them to die.

I have never worried about crime traveling to Europe, not even when I did it as a white woman traveling by herself. On the other hand I drove across the entire state of Arkansas without stopping to pee because of their bathroom laws targeting trans people. So, yknow.

to any politicians out there: the only metric by which i am deciding my votes in any future Democratic primary is how far they're willing to go in punishing this administration and i am far from the only one

excited to continue to not shop at Target, will be coming up on my year anniversary of not shopping at Target soon actually!

Cancelled and they did ask me if it was about ICE and I said yes. Not the hugest traveler but I used Hilton often. Every person who calls, no matter how small their hotels counts. They will be having panicked meetings this week if the trickle turns into a flood.

Trump calling civil rights protections “reverse discrimination” a week before the MLK holiday is especially offensive. Dr. King fought to end exclusion—not invent grievances for the powerful. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

no joke an eye opening moment for me was an episode of drunk history about how a superman radio show portraying the kkk as bumbling doofuses pretty much destroyed recruitment in louisiana

somebody needs to run up miscarriage and fertility statistics for cities that get hit in this way, would be not at all surprised to find it's an observable hit in the time series (tear gas is an abortifacient)

you really gotta wonder how some people manage to feed themselves sometimes

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

Extra annoyed because they are trying to build a concrete plant two miles away in a light industrial zone, directly adjacent to forever-wild wetlands and I will definitely be downwind of any emissions/pollutants.

The official explanation they’re apparently going with here is that they aren’t 100% convinced that breathing soot and ozone is actually bad for you.

I was wondering myself how to tell the difference was between a warrant signed by a judge and an "administrative warrant" issued by ICE which you can ignore. Helpful

And not a one has the self-awareness and introspection to realize that every time someone condescends to them, they have broadly and deeply deserved so much more than mere condescension.

this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

The USA somehow lost the ability to be mildly annoyed and it turns out there being a middle ground between "I like this person" and "This person must be publicly executed in front of their loved ones" was load bearing for human civilization.

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.

they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

Also when you ask people to design their ideal immigration policy, with the exception of a handful of psychotic zero immigration sorts, it inevitably ends up far to the left of anything since Reagan's amnesty. People have zero idea of how fucked up and restrictive American immigration policy is.

Hey do you think between this and the whole “capping credit card interest” thing which will certainly reduce the amount of credit made available, this admin may be trying to make it impossible for *most* of us to get money from anyone but a 200% interest payday lender?

Do you know how bad you have to fuck up to radicalize St. Cloud?

Reminder that Pepe and Peepo emotes are dogwhistles. Doesn't mean you're a bad person for using them, but they have a history of being used by straight up nazis. The creator of the original character even killed off the character because of it. Please don't use anything related to them.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

It's worth reminding each other every couple days that every delay you create, every horrible opportunity you deter means someone gets home to their family, might even mean someones actual life is saved. All of it is worth it.

she was shot in the face by a firearms instructor who has led teams drawn from multiple federal agencies

Ellison completely erased the existence of Renee Good’s wife, who was on scene at the killing. He said that Renee’s children are without a mother, and made a point of saying that her youngest did not have a father (deceased.) Unacceptable, especially when MPR issued Becca Good’s statement days ago.

Connor Eats Pants just ratio'ed the Vice President of the United States by telling him to kill himself

BREAKING: Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul sue Noem and others over DHS immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, seeking TRO to block the surge and stop unlawful actions detailed in the complaint.

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

“Fuck you, make me” was and remains the exactly right stance to take against these assholes.

Hypothesis: To a close approximation, public views about all public policy follow from views about the people you see that policy either hurting or helping. Donald Trump "hurting the right people" is the flipside of decades of political science research on the social safety net and "deservingness"

Low interest rates FOR HIM. He could give a toss about the country.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case. "My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

In the old days, good writers got famous for selling books. Nowadays, bad writers sell books by being famous.

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.

“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows. “No,” an agent replies. “Back up.” “I’m a physician!” “I don’t care.”

The idea that Americans are unusually quiescent is a weirdly load-bearing and ideologically widespread position, one that has survived multiple massive protest waves and visible community organizing in the face of violent state repression with nary a ripple. It's really odd
