If women could speak honestly and freely about the sexual violence that terrorizes us over the life course, it would upend the social order completely--starting with the revelation of how many heroes are actually villains.

When I find a man who doesn't listen to them fuck ass podcasts.

we have a nuclear power station in the sky and can make batteries out of salt but if 21 nm of water get closed we have a global energy crisis idk bruh, i am not a scientist, but this seems dumb as ballz

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school. if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

I have a middle schooler who is mortified his new deodorant will "smell too nice" in school and he'll be socially deleted. How do we get this man just a fraction of an average middle-schooler's sense of shame.

the next 96 hours of leaks about Kristi Noem are going to be amazing.

I was forced to watch TV news when I had breakfast in a diner recently and I strongly resonated with the sentiment that being an intelligent person in America today is like being awake during a surgery.

Some questions that no one has asked: Why Kristi Noem put an inexperienced 20-something in charge of terrorist prevention. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

it's molting season for RFK Jr

What's that about immigrants and non-citizens deserving inhumane detention and deportation if they don't obey the laws of the nation?

send me the results of the message test "donald trump unilaterally imposed tariffs that cost the average family thousands of dollars in 2025. the supreme court ruled they were illegal all along"

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration. even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

I will vote for whoever removes as much power and wealth from these people as possible.

Wow.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

I've wondered if we're living through a different sort of epistemic closure: not one of the right cocooning itself in participatory nonsense, but rather one of billionaires grown confident that closing on—i.e., purchasing—the means of knowledge production will let them dictate what's real or true.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the only way to ensure a free and just society for our children and grandchildren is to enact policies as soon as possible that tax billionaires out of existence, removes their influence from politics, and breaks up the companies they've consolidated.

Sick of this dystopian tech overlord men with no panache and bad haircuts enabling a pants shitting president and bald hitler wannabe trying to undo things that can’t be undone ass reality we are living. They are so tedious and venal. It’s galling.

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

The name of the publisher of the @nytimes.com appears in the Epstein data base 72 times.

Here is Peter Attia MD emailing Epstein’s assistant claiming he goes into “JE withdrawal” when he doesn’t see him.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

A+++ Appalachian protest sign:

love when there’s a newspaper profile of some psychopath that points out they allow themselves “a lone vice, like a single cup of black coffee in the morning.” personally I am a bundle of trash glued together by vices. they’re all load-bearing

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

I guess I just don't take what people living in other countries say about the U.S. personally. I live in the heart of empire. There's a lot to be pissed off at the U.S. about. I understand their anger.

When our descendents ask about this "dark time" and how we let things get here, we're going to have to explain "everybody just... kind of waited for someone else to fix the problem. Most of us were certain someone else would eventually put a stop to it. And the worst of us took advantage of that."

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Goals

Minneapolis is in a very real sense taking the sins of the American electorate onto its own shoulders
