To whom it may concern, Bad Bunny is a United States citizen whilst MAGA lunatic Nicki Minaj is not.

An open letter to @theguardian.com about their article last week about the Crown’s Silence, requesting that the Black scholar of Caribbean heritage who did the years of archival research behind this claim, and published it in 1979, Roger Norman Buckley, be acknowledged as the source of this reveal:

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

a) wow it's a while since I've heard a full on protest song, good work b) you do have to wonder if "Bruce Springsteen wrote a song calling you, personally, a twat" might get through to ICE lackeys and Trump cultists where other stuff doesn't.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying. Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/l...

I think a lot about Parmy Olson's observation that AI companies actively push everyone to talk about existential risk, because it distracts from more prosaic current day concerns like copyright theft, conditions for data workers, energy & water use, and their financial situation

One supply skeptic says YIMBYism distracts from better solutions like funded vouchers to help pay for housing. Another supply skeptic says rising home prices reflect rising incomes, not zoning restrictions. (Implication: supplementing incomes with vouchers would just make prices rise.)

when i say bring that baby home i mean EVERY BABY

Happy Black History Month! It's freezing outside, so let's take a moment to honor Alice H. Parker, who invented the first central heating system powered by natural gas back in 1919. Read up on her history in this article by Audrey Henderson: www.canarymedia.com/articles/enn...

Let kids be kids.

Portland's Mayor: “To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children." “Ask yourselves why you continue to work for an agency responsible for murders on American streets.” www.koin.com/news/oregon/...

The message from the stars was very long and complex, but contained instructions how to decode and parse it incrementally. There was an image, of a very cute furry creature. And a text, which loosely translated said: "Send cat pics please!' #MicroFiction

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

I feel like "remember you have no obligation to watch or listen to something traumatizing in the name of 'witnessing' or 'being informed'" is relevant here.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Excellent reporting

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments."

Probably a day to promote this research from David Cortez. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Note the complete absence of trans people and drag queens from the files. No Hillary, no Huma. Meanwhile QAnon messiah Trump was seemingly Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend.

Xbox Live banned Jeffrey Epstein because they had a zero tolerance policy for convicted sex offenders why does Xbox Live have a stronger commitment to protecting its community than Harvard or MIT? www.theverge.com/tech/871425/...

To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary--embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day. One month in, and it feels like I've already sewn a year's worth of news. But it helps me make sense of it all, so I think I can manage 11 more.

Today is Feb 1. The rules just changed. If you receive SNAP benefits, you might have woken up ineligible today without knowing it.

Happy St. Brigid's Day! Today marks the end of winter, spring is stirring. St. Brigid is Ireland's matron saint, not as famous as St. Patrick, but she could turn water into beer. And when a man insulted her, she made his eyeballs implode. Celtic goddess, patron of healers & poets. #Imbolc #fullmoon

Idk if trans kids these days know this but back in my day you could just walk into a RadioShack and walk out with one of these puppies

consider if you will: this cat and his fang

“comedian” means “person who entertains audiences using comedy.” It does not mean “shouting angry bigotry and everybody should listen to you”

ICE agents tried to quietly get Mexican food in Minneapolis, local neighbors and protesters found out and shamed then out of the neighborhood!

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

Ok, let’s do this🙄 We’ll start with an explainer covering: 🕒What is a 15-minute city 🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford 👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article 🧵 1/25

"Gustavo" is harvesting lemons in Fresno CA. They earn $45 per bin. "It takes an average worker around 3 hrs to fill a 900lb bin as we work carefully to avoid getting pricked by the many big thorns. In our 7-hour work day, we usually manage to fill two bins." #WeFeedYou

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do. #BlackHistoryMonth

abolish the police abolish ice spend the money on universal healthcare and basic income, pensioned jobs fixing up and building homes for public housing crime over, everyone can do whatever and be unstressed enough to want to fuck around buy more dildos

The GOP controlled Senate has the votes to pass “The SAVE Act” which will strip 69 million women of the right to vote. If your married name doesn’t match your birth certificate, you’re shit out of luck at the ballot box 🚨🚨🚨

Strong work from those who pressured them!!

Did my first ever horse show and came out with 4th and 6th place in my classes! Really proud of myself and happy to be representing the melanated equestrian girlies in the ring 💁🏽‍♀️✨💖

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

the good chinese restaurant made bao bunnies tonight 😍🐰🐰

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women
