Start teaching this stuff in Kindergarten

Someone you really ought to be watching is @gawattia.bsky.social, who is a real machine of churning out deeply researched essays. This one on the Nazi eugenics program was extremely chilling www.liberalcurrents.com/the-devils-b...

The study this article is based on is at least honest about how useless it is. For example: On average, me and Kim Kardashian spent about ~$7 million on our weddings.

I never understand why people who tout their moderate and centrist credentials aren't directly asked about this.

So cows are using tools and obviously they are sentient creatures that feel love, sadness, curiosity, sympathy, etc. and deserve to be treated with kindness and not cruelty but honestly we can't deal with that right now because humans are in over our heads on conservative fascist nonsense.

The labor share of GDP is lower today than it has been at any time since records began being kept in 1947. The share of the nation’s income going to workers has fallen 16 points in that 78-year stretch. The share going to capital has risen by the same amount. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

This MLK Day I'm going to tell a story from May 1968 when a right wing provocateur got the nation talking about how "white conservative Christians" like him were reguularly victimized by Black/leftist mobs while the "liberal elite" looked the other way. The story was a lie, & the "victim" was a Nazi

Michael is doing valid work by highlighting this crap so I’m not tempted to give them any engagement, but also I don’t see how we can ever have a viable democratic society when elite media culture so openly embraces lazy dissembling like this. It’s corrosive to public trust and destroys discourse.

The whole thing about the discussion whether fascism is irrational (and also that colonial violence was „rational“ vs the Holocaust being „irrational“) is that it seems to lack a fundamental understanding that capitalist rationality is very much irrational.

The person who is actually executing all this stuff, Marco Rubio, was confirmed by every single Democrat in the U.S. Senate.

This is massive news that I somehow totally missed. Thank god for @boltsmag.org, seriously

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

I’m going to continue to blame Biden for this because his refusal to see Republicans as the enemy and to impose consequences on them for their structural and explicit support of Trump regardless of their private feelings is why we’re here.

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately. The USA will break if a bunch of entitled Americans suddenly can’t book get-aways in Paris.

This is what God looks like when he's coming to answer one of your prayers.

This is true. My mother-in-law is from MN and when she visits it is as if I am transported there via her powers of Minnesotanizing.

This generation of adults is crazy. As soon as the tittie was out of their mouth they’ve been posting. Just straight into it.

I’m ambivalent on the efficacy of bringing guns to face off with ICE. Pros: - could deter Cons: - could go bad - could trigger an escalation that accelerates more violence All of these things are probably true to an extent. Also really hard to measure.

They've killed two people seeking a better life in Minneapolis. That we know of. I sure hope Tim Walz doesn't refer to this man's murder as "bait". His death is just as unconscionable as Renee Good's. Every. Person. Matters.

My solo photography show “The View From The Bushes Outside Living Room Windows“ turned out to be a bust. Literally.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

"time is a flat circle" no dude youre thinking of a clock

I’ve never stood for the National Anthem. It’s awkward but fuck that shit. I suppose I followed in the footsteps of my father, a wounded Nam vet who did same. I fucking love the people of this country. But no pledges. No anthems.

I do not sniff the coke I smoke sensimilla.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Calls for people to film events in Minnesota reflect good intentions, but intention without process produces unusable evidence. Evidence collected for awareness & evidence collected for legal accountability are not the same activity. They require different standards, safeguards, and infrastructure.

I respectfully disagree with this thread. The hundreds of hours of on-the-ground footage on January 6 (mostly by the insurrectionists themselves!) helped prosecutors identify and bring them to justice. Bystander video was critical for prosecuting George Floyd. 1/

For those asking for more practical steps, here's some of the tools and platforms we use at Bellingcat. The AutoArchiver allows online media to be collected and automatically archived, allowing centralised collection of sources www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

Conservatives and their reactionary cousins believe that their views are true because they believe them. They don't need hard proof or to be able to argue for them. They're "common sense." This viewpoint is the fundamental unifier of everyone on the right, from atheist ancaps to Christofascists.

This is literally what I've been writing and podcasting about for years. I was planning to do an essay on this, but here's a 🧵. The main reason is psychology. Due to personal, family, and cultural histories, some people are inherently scared of the world.

B: What are you wearing? N: A fancy ballgown. B: No, it's a chicken suit. N: That's a lie you guys lie. B: Look in the mirror it's a chicken suit. N: I was just about to change.

The vast majority of what’s happening is communal self-defense. It’s not an about agitating or escalating. The whistles, the honking, the yelling — these are efforts by people to warn and protect their neighbors. 2/3

A quick note to all the media covering Minneapolis right now, the Reich called my grandfather and great uncle "protesters" when all they were doing was stopping SS from disappearing their neighbors. So maybe don't be like the Nazi Press unless you are the Nazi Press.

Smoke Pit, Nangarhar Province Limited Edition. Sometimes I miss this like I miss my first car. Then I remember my first car only started half the time and died forever on me at a stoplight.

I saw a Marine post this during the LA debacle, and its held up pretty well in every single place ICE has gone.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

Ignoring the little things that people have done wrong is great. Especially in parenting. One of the things we teach in ABA for parents is to use "start instructions" instead of "stop" instructions", which is just basically focusing on what you want the child to do, or to do better. 1/

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

The past decade of US politics can be summed up by liberal pundits persuading themselves that radical leftist sh!itposters nowhere near the levers of power in the Democratic party represented such a threat to liberalism, it was better to put radical far-right sh!tposters in charge of the govt.

ICE actions are not a radical break but an intensification and extension of bipartisan consensus on the need for punitive immigration policy. Since its post-9/11 creation, people have warned that the tools given to ICE would eventually be turned on citizens.

Great sleuthing! ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden is by his own admission a proud racist and fascist.
