I’m not saying that I’m smarter than everybody. I’m not saying that I’m smarter than anybody in particular. I’m saying that it would do a lot of good to listen to me and learn from what I have to share

Yola’s turn in this song, especially the recorded version, feels like the spirit of this MLK birthday celebration season Beautiful, defiant, mournful, proud, and hopeful youtu.be/edQyuO13DlU?...

Adding both Matt Green AND Desmond Cole to your follows will not disappoint anyone who thinks a better World, and a better Canada are possible. Yes admittedly I am a bit of a fan of both.

@matthewgreen.bsky.social is no longer an NDP MP, but he hasn’t stopped trying to transform the party. He talks to @desmondcole.bsky.social about a campaign to renew the NDP—and what it will take to pry control from consultants, and put it in the hands of the grassroots.

Too many keep acting as if the problem is reaching the true believers. Fuck the true believers. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. They've resigned from the human race. It's all about activating the fence-sitters and get-along-go-along crowd. And that *is* happening.

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

The reason I switched to Vivaldi as my main browser was exactly this. Turns out it’s also a fine browser with uncluttered UX as well

Tech is a culture

David “Acis of Evil” Frum shares a ton of the responsibility for getting us here. He doesn’t get to pretend he didn’t help torch laws to justify forever wars and sustain the weirdos who became the Tea Party and Maga, create the subprime collapse, and generally firetruck the USian people in the ear.

None of these clowns look like they’ve ever learned to make a fist, never mind throw a punch. Easy for soft little douches to call for other people to do violence or experience violence. Also WTF does anyone find appealing about listening to little bitches like Walsh or Pool try to sound tough?

This isn't white women realizing that their husbands are fans of police brutality. I bet they all knew that and are actually fine with it. This is purely white women looking up and realizing their proximity to white male power won't save them and their husbands don't care about that either.

A question for the white women

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

I always suspected the #2A crowd was full of #Nazi bullshit. I would have preferred that that hypothesis wasn’t tested so thoroughly as it has been in recent weeks.

people who “don’t take ‘no’ for an answer” get lied to a lot

It's a little sad to me when someone is a traditionalist about a dish and they don't have the bandwidth to accept the fact that once your recipe goes out into the world it is no longer yours. This seems unfair, especially when it might have the name of the place it comes from but them's the breaks.

Reminds me of starlight tours

Good.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

“Soup Sandwich” takes the early lead for defining phrase of 2026

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

That is a big loss for Bluesky. It blows that they were run off here by harassers.

Tom Tomorrow will not go quietly.

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

I want to have solidarity with the dirtbag left & have them be part of the anti-fascist/anti-America movement But fucking hell. They need to get off Twitter & do a 2 month detox with no internet whatsoever before they start integrating with everyone else. They are getting as cooked as the far right

What Noem is saying isn’t sincerity, it’s a strategy to govern without rules. That’s why mocking comments miss the point: mockery distracts, insults release anger, and while people laugh at the form, authoritarianism advances. From Chile.

Legend! Christopher Katsarov captured a once in a lifetime photo. ICE chud meet ice patch on the streets of Minneapolis.

Elon Musk has suspended the @twitter account. Twitter is officially dead.

Report for fraud.

a lot of people think the cops should be allowed to shoot you dead if you disrespect them. No word on what you should be allowed to do when the cops disrespect you.

Being hoodwinked by such cartoonishly obvious scam artists is either a skills issue or a kink. If it’s the latter, those involved don’t want our sympathy, if it’s the former they no longer deserve it at all. apnews.com/article/trum...

Quality of life things really count

Apparently « Conservative Christian » is Merkin for « Violently Abusive Small Man ». I guess no one’s surprised.

Something not even remotely about Merkin fascism and the collapse of the neoliberal consensus. youtu.be/0jVV1rIe1eE?...

Gender affirming murder.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

Blue MAGA: Once the Democrats flip the House and Senate things will go back to normal The Democrats:

The biggest question of all: Would we avoid falling into our own civil war?

Welp. This is exactly what I would expect

lithub.com/just-a-few-h... 11 people were responsible for 60% of the book bans in 2021.

it’s just insane to me that one rich asshole (musk) can throw the entire global democratic order into chaos, whether by election interference, promulgating white nationalist hate, or generating revenge porn, and no one in a position of political power anywhere is willing to a goddamn thing about it

Kleptocracy, oligarchy, and kakistocracy all rolled into one. How does anyone lose to these guys?

I think it’s important that no fascist should expect to die in their sleep. Unless smothered with a pillow by a cell mate counts.

A reminder that it's not just Republicans theintercept.com/2025/06/11/p...
