Interesting read, if you find budgets interesting

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social refers to The Atlantic as the "bible of reactionary centrists" in a podcast that I assume was taped right before the magazine hired David Brooks. To prove the point, Hobbes compares the Atlantic's Zohran coverage (hostile) to its RFK coverage (credulous.)

Since everyone is talking about 4chan atm I'm gonna take this chance to say you should go read these books about it/ online culture in general.

every epstein commentary is these immensely rich/powerful/influential people raving about what a genius epstein was, and every one of his emails is just “helo, my name jomfrie”

sadly i think they were cynical and ruthless enough to not use it. class solidarity with the rich perverts above all else

Postponed from last week - state violence is escalating; we can meet this moment and stand in solidarity with targeted communities. We CAN prepare together for rapid mass mobilization and community care. Join us today (1/31) at 2 PM at the Haven!

none of these Epstein files are dissuading me from the idea that, despite joining the international pedophile club, Trump *still* wasn't a Cool Kid and we're living out his ensuing haphazard revenge fantasy

What if I told you we don't have to live like this, and that this is not in fact the pinnacle of either technology or human potential?

A general strike is a great idea, and to make it happen, I need you to organize your coworkers into a union at your workplace

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

The work continues. Thank you, sincerely, from Cville.

yup, heartbroken. again.

with them. I was like I know.! . Today she pulled up with a plate of tamales. So once again. Chat what do we say? F*CK ICE

they are actively planning on recolonizing Cuba in a similar manner and it's crickets

the secretary of state testified in front of congress this week that the united states is exercising colonial control over Venezuela and it was barely even news

do it you stupid motherfucker. ban CRJs from US airspace.

Once again, we're not yet ready for what's already happened.

People are asking a lot “how is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening — you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.

Hundreds packed a Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting Wednesday as the board pushed back against a DHS plan to convert an Ashland warehouse into an ICE processing facility. Supervisors cited land-use conflicts, lack of consultation and fiscal impacts. virginiamercury.com/2026/01/29/n...

The good news is all the brazen, cartoonish corruption makes it easier to run on an anti-oligarchy, good government platform. The bad news is you still need candidates who want to do that

Unless you're doing some insane stupid Weather Underground shit the actual risk you face from the authorities isn't some crazy Big Brother tech shit. it's that some cop beats or shoots you from a foot away because he got angry.

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/1170002407

Did you know that 2/3 of Americans are at least “somewhat worried” about global warming -- but 85% of Americans either underestimate how many others are worried, or don’t know enough to say? This key misunderstanding tanks our sense of collective efficacy. How do we overcome it? Talk about it!

Total fascism is not possible in a society that both despises and is not afraid of the fascist forces

liberals: listen to @thedigradio.bsky.social The soothing and steady voice of Daniel Denvir will remind you of NPR *and* you’ll learn a lot of new stuff!

solidarity is the only way, solidarity forever

Youngkin pardoned Fairfax police officer in 2023 shooting, attorney says www.vpm.org/news/2026-01...

If what we are trying to accomplish requires cruelty, perhaps we need to take a look at what we are trying to accomplish.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Join me in helping our neighbors in need on these bitterly cold nights!

Almost every reason people have for defunding or abolishing ICE is also a reason to defund or abolish the police, yet many people who are rightly calling for action against ICE would never come close to doing to the same for police. But this fight goes beyond just ICE. ICE represents a larger issue.

Hey, this Bovino thing is a pathetic attempt to make all these horrors the fault of one guy, and it would be a serious, serious crisis if people fell for it. ICE needs to be abolished, bc this - terror, murder - are what it exists for. Nothing else. This is just an attempt to mollify us. Stay angry

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

new york magazine has a very nasty article out about my beautiful golden throne, which they say is the only thing keeping me alive. when I'm sitting on my big beautiful throne I am NOT ASLEEP!! I am directing the beacon of the astronomican, something sleepy joe did very badly may I add

it undoubtedly is part of the solution

cannot even count how many friends I've made because I asked "is there anything I can do to help clean up?"

The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city. Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

Troops out of everywhere.

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

This is a turning point. Nobody wants what we’re seeing in Minnesota. Speak up. In your workplace, in your community, in any forum you have. Just emailing friends and coworkers and saying this is wrong is a powerful act. Expressing yourself to others. That is democracy. Just don’t be silent.
