A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

For Once I Have Been Proven Right and I Will Crow About It Forever: A Poster’s Story

I just went looking to see if a copy of Scott Russell Sanders' tremendous essay, "Under the Influence," was available anywhere online, and it is: sfuadadvancedcnf.wordpress.com/wp-content/u... I can't recommend this one enough.

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

Incredible band. This sucks.

This one feels a little Capital Steps.

I don't think this made it into my Bob Weir profile a few years ago. "If you don't you're in trouble."

Just a screenshot from one of the best films ever made (M, 1931).

Seventeen Republicans join Democrats to pass a three-year extension of tax credits cutting ACA premiums

There are no more excuses: The Senate must take up and pass this clean three-year extension of ACA health care tax credits. Americans’ monthly health care premiums have already spiked.

Repost if you agree: The Senate should vote TODAY to extend the ACA tax credits. The House already passed a bill with a three-year extension that would bring down premiums for MILLIONS of Americans. Now it’s up to the Senate. Leader Thune: Let the Senate vote ASAP.

Melt, and no more be seen

Thrown together real quick like.

Wirecutter has indeed done dash cams: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad. This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

The ties do not get much more Jewish

Just gonna reiterate: a special ed bus. Those short buses are digesting and othering on their own but if it WAS one of those, that means ICE knew what it was and who it was carrying.

You can say Merry Protein again

Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

Feb 24th, 67. Velvet Underground and Nico reviewed, Troy Daily News 'This defies description. It is mayhem in sound... might even cause mental decay... I'm afraid this might be the next "Pop God" people will worship'. Now that's a review. + it appeared before the official release

They should cut to Thomas Pynchon in the audience when PTA shouts him out

thomas pynchon MENTIONED at the golden globes

This is the kind of shit I like about America

The line between "wine mom" and "frenzied Maenad" is *wafer*-thin, I'm telling you

Sir, the rhetoric will continue until behavior improves. The ball is in y’all’s court.

Goes hard

So we are in the “naming days of week after yourself” stage. Good to know.

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

just an incredible story from head to toe, including the typo ending

This is some sacred Midwestern shit rn

I’m at an anti-ICE protest in Encinitas, California. Protesters have gathered on both sides of 10 lanes of traffic. Hard to get more Californian than that.

@joegross.bsky.social on Fugazi’s “Red Medicine in the new Creem. Yes, please!

The clearest reporting I’ve read so far about the Iran protests and the events in Iran that led up to them is the NYT piece below. It’s worth reading, so here’s a gift link:

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

Oh god. I've just realised: the entire plot of xfiles is just the teacher sitting the well behaved quiet girl next to the disruptive boy in the hope it will socialise him to play well with others

Craig nails it here.

It's that day and here's the best band.

TUBI IS THE BEST STREAMING APP

I saw a post going around yesterday that ICE should be like the sex offender registry, you should have to announce yourself to your neighbors and stay 500 feet away from kids. I have never supported any watchlist more

As a Beltway native, it is with no small amount of amusement to note that the Donald’s people really have no idea just how much money the Kennedy center generates, let alone how large the audience is, because none of them have souls at all. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/a...

"Never assume malice…" I'mma stop you right there: At this point in human history, when it comes to corporations in particular, any sufficiently advanced capitalist interest is indistinguishable from malice, so I'm gonna go riight on ahead and assume it.

You ever think about how right Carmine was

So THE PITT S2e1 was fun but as has been pointed put elsewhere, no way Noah Wiley’s character would be riding a MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT A HELMET. That is either a v weird lapse in writing or a sign he is losing it WAY harder than last season and is headed for a BIG crash, metaphorical or otherwise.

it’s really important to have publications like People covering this because it’s going to get seen by so many people who don’t consume political media
