if i was the dealer that traded a bag of crack for baby jd vance i’d be trying to get my product back

Recalling my Walter Benjamin today: "The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life... All efforts to render politics aesthetic culminate in one thing: war"

Something I can't stop thinking about with Renee Good and Elijah McClain is the commentary about how harmless in appearance they were. My bestie who's a Black dude with a deep voice and tattoos don't deserve to get shot either. Not blaming anyone, I share in the grief. But god damn this country.

I dunno folks, I think the gender studies people might have something of value to contribute. You know, some insights and empirics that shed light on things that matter in the world today, making it a worthwhile line of academic inquiry.

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

Didn’t know Trump was a #landback guy

kids these days don't know how to impress Jodie Foster

Boodles has thoughts about 2025 to date.

I don't think I understood how spot-on it was at the time, but Cartman's cop who insists that everyone "respect my authoritay" is decidedly on the nose.

Community members have put up barricades on the street in Minneapolis where ICE shot and killed Renee Good yesterday morning. Protests and vigils have spread across the city and throughout the country in the aftermath of the fatal shooting by a federal agent

Natives know U.S. state-sanctioned violence. It’s actually the only thing we’ve known since 1776.

Read the room, Cory.

Great City.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

There is a faction of Americans who are fine with people being shot for disobedience to authority. The penalty for trafficking drugs is not death The penalty for resisting arrest is not death The penalty for disobeying law enforcement is not death The penalty for civil disobedience is not death

Fuck Ice.

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

I think it's high time for another two hour march on a Saturday. That should fix everything.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

Fuck Ice. I don't know what more to say.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

56 years since Neil Young wrote this. Nothing has changed “Gotta get down to it Soldiers are cutting us down Shoulda been done long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground’ How can you run when you know?” We can’t run this time. We have to fight back. Shoulda been done long ago

Contra Kate Bush, I would not want to switch places with God.

Eric Dane is good at playing the bad guy.

This should not have made me laugh so hard

Usha Vance and Syd Barrett were both born on January 6. Really makes you think...

The nineties had a Verve and a Verve Pipe, and nobody batted an eye. The Freshman is a better tune than Bittersweet Symphony, and I'll die in that hill.

JFC. I hope it was because he was about to rock

Oof.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Punky Brewster's Millions. Is that anything?

I just want everyone to step back and realize how often it's a trans woman getting bullied off social media.

I am anti-getting bullied off the internet. I don't care if you think you have a valid reason for it, quite frankly. I have been consistent on this for literal years.

One thing about watching the Ed Gein Netflix series is that it makes me realize that my mother issues aren't that severe.

Eddie Money at an evening bakery: Make Me Scones Tonight.

This has to be a 'Mats license plate, no?

Paul Westerberg for Minnesota governor.

really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability

head of chiquita banana wanting to ask the forbidden question now that trump is overthrowing governments for oil companies

I actually prefer the first four mambos.

I wish John Oliver was on tonight.

I can't believe calling him Drumpf hasn't worked yet
