If you oppose the construction of ICE prisons, it’s a good time to also oppose jail construction, even when framed as “improvements” or “updating existing facilities”

Concentration camps with a shooting range.

Oh

gdi

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIXED FEELINGS?

this came to me in a dream

I was not expecting this crossover

I probably have a bunch in this category but right now I’m feeling this

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

$1.2 billion on one of the richest companies on earth is genuinely, sincerely, criminal. That is quite literally money stolen from us on multiple fronts.

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

Can we get to 4500 letters to NY City Council by tomorrow? It only takes 30 seconds: actionnetwork.org/letters/city... - Also if you've already signed, can you please get 4 others to do the same?

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Huge story by Georgia. Flagged by an automated review system, debated by "about a dozen staffers," and OpenAI did nothing.

making the entire officer class in your armed forces identify with the gig economy proletariat is what historians refer to as "inciting conditions"

ohhh this was fun h/t @kottke.org dialed.gg?c=RNVD7P

Tune in now to First Light with Man, two hours of intergenerational bliss to start your day to. 🕯️ I’ll be threading some thoughts here. If you’re not into it tap the three dots and select “block account” and “report post.” JK don’t do that hit “mute thread.” eastvillageradio.com/first-light-...

you may also remember that the "board of peace" is structured so that donald trump, personally, has sole and absolute control over it. he's just stealing our fucking money. what i want from my dems? a commitment to take that shit back.

I had to zoom in but ok yeah

Last week, I was fired in retaliation for confronting DOGE staff in 2025. Today, I launch my campaign for U.S. Congress in Maryland’s 6th district. Marylanders show enormous bravery in defense of our communities. #MD06 deserves a Rep as brave as its residents. secure.actblue.com/donate/alexi...

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Another night of accomplishments for the superior race

for approximately ten seconds the internet was good

We often talk about the vulnerability of immigrants, but we should also remember that many of them are people who have survived brutal conditions in their home countries, including autocracy. In fighting to free themselves, they are also trying to turn this country into a freer place for us all

Really getting an “everything happens so much” vibe from…everything lately.

Yeah there is exactly one thing that that means now. At at least until after IT HAPPENS

nope

The new mayor pledged to dedicate 1% of the city budget to parks and 0.5% to libraries. His preliminary spending plan delivers less. www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/19/m...

These 3-yr drops are stunning. Absolutely stunning. New Orleans: -55% Baltimore: -60% Philly: -60% Chicago: -40% Buffalo: -55% Pittsburgh: -50% Albuquerque: -40% Newark: -40% San Antonio: -55% Portland: -45% The media coverage of these staggering drops, tho, is staggering in its relative silence.

Flaming bags of poop on my doorstep: Why they’re simply a bad idea

I can’t remember if I’ve expressed this out loud here before (and I’m sure others have made this point), but the older I get and the more turbulent times we live through, I 💯 understand why soft rock got so big in the 70’s. Like damn people must have been so exhausted.

all this stuff makes much more sense if you understand “anti wokeness” as a general backlash to elite accountability more generally, even if you have criticisms of left wing egalitarianism bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

on his birthday!

2026 basically

Seriously though can we not.

The Trump Administration: Should we a) Release the Epstein Files or b) Bomb Iran and engage in a destructive war as a distraction? Bomb Iran.

the Trump foreign policy of violence at will against whoever for whatever with total impunity will continue until the administration experiences a consequence

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Started reading this and dear god it’s heavy. Like printed on lead pages heavy what the hell

We’re going to need a Marshall Plan-sized antifascist reconstruction effort after all this

Is there a way to automatically mute X screenshots?
