The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

Agreed. We also need to admit that it's within our power to stop this, just as it was within ordinary Germans' power to stop the Nazis. There are some obvious peaceful ways to shut the system down and demand new leadership. Boycotting air travel is one of them. bsky.app/profile/grou...

This is what John Roberts had in mind when he authored Trump v United States. Concentration camps full of American citizens, legal immigrants, and children. A national army of thugs exempt from the Constitution and not responsive to the courts. This is on John Roberts.

I’m asking ICE to curl up and die like a salted slug. I’m asking for everyone who directed them to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison. And I’m asking for every quisling Democrat to walk the earth with ceaseless and unavoidable scorn. Those are my demands.

A thing I hate about Google forcing AI into their search is that when I search for something really unusual, I have to wait extra long for their slop machine to do its "research" before I can see my Web results. I think I am just about ready to ditch Google's search.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & then it's Monday. The Founders simply could not imagine men, even of the same party, so careless about their own power & oaths to allow all of this.

please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

So it wasn’t the pee tapes, it was Epstein, and we’ve known about it since 2015. I want the name of every fucking person in our government, past or presently employed, that knew about trump-epstein. And, going forward, I will refer to this depravity as trump-Epstein. Make it trump’s Scarlet E.

I would also accept Cape of Bad Grope

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Maybe the purpose of all these AI datacenters is just to hasten a climate catastrophe that fascist tech bros are depending on to stress governments and kill off the hostile masses. They've been herding us into one or another box canyon for decades. The slaughterhouse is the obvious next step.

Honest headline: OpenAI strikes back with sock puppet disguised as "centrist Democrats"

what we're cutting: health care food stamps preschool environmental protections international aid scientific research what we're buying:

Ah, Social Circle, Ga. — this is right near the Rivian EV assembly plant site. Lovely to see the sorts of jobs and activity MAGA would bring instead. Using a light-industrial site to house humans — who need, like, water and access to sewers — seems like a hell of a thing to try w/o planning.

Brilliant piece, and a public service to put these foul and upsetting pieces together.

every AI commercial was like “learn to use this so we can fire you”

Is it democracy if our rulers are basically decided by whatever Murdoch's papers pick to scandalize?

Okay, but seriously: where are the interviews with TRUMP VOTERS who were wrongly swept up in ICE raids? If this pasty-white Irish dude can be wrongly imprisoned for half a year, surely there's a MAGA redhat in Trump's concentration camps who can be made the face of this atrocity.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 9: Education Q: Why do Black kids not do well in school, or in subjects like Math and Science? A: This is only true in extremely racist countries. A racist person cannot teach a Black child effectively. It's not race. It's racism. Read the whole thread.

I know this is a month old, but I still take heart

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

Remember when "America has many groups of people in it and that's good and makes us strong" was an uncontroversial - even cliched - viewpoint that was universally endorsed across the political spectrum? We can go back! We just have to get rid of the tiny handful of bitter, angry men in the way.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all! go.bsky.app/6BAmgpi

Powerful people jockeying for position in the new regime will use the Epstein files to knock out their competition/foes if the opportunity presents itself. I know nothing about this Massie/Lutnick case, I'm just saying it's always dangerous to make assumptions about anyone's motives or heart.

I have appreciated Amanda’s efforts here so I’m disappointed she’s wrapping things up by spreading misinformation. I can assure you as someone whose neighborhood has been crawling with ICE in recent days that we are not in the “aftermath” of anything.

This woman is in charge of the US Agency for Global Media, which is supposed to serve and represent the best American values

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

The president has issued an executive order ordering a divorce for the halftime show wedding couple. Explained Mr Trump: “I AM SCARED AND ALWAYS HAVE DIARRHEA”

If they can find a lost pet, they can and will hunt down our neighbors for our authoritarian government

"The task of the artist is determined always by the status and process and agenda of the community that it already serves... As a cultural worker who belongs to an oppressed people my job is to make revolution irresistible." Toni Cade Bambara

If you see 'ICE OUT' towels at the Super Bowl, they came from a coalition of artists, musicians and community organizers who handed out more than 25,000 towels protesting the actions of ICE.

all these ads are geared toward people our age because they think we have all the money but the joke is on them. 8 or 10 guys have all the money.

“We never shared equal justice under the law. What we did perhaps share was an ideal—the…lure of life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness. But that dream was deferred, then mortgaged along w/ our future, & the question now is less whether the dream is dead but who is most to blame for killing it.”

Concentration camps: "I saw people lying in feces, throwing up, and sleeping in urine."

The federal government owes Minnesota and Minneapolis a billion dollars each for each week they're here. Reparations

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Americans need to pay attention to the "fascism footprint" of their purchases. Especially of their entertainment purchases.

Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

Walz needs to fire state police leadership over this. Immediately. They violently attacked a civilian protest. ICE was under court.order to not do that, so state police violated the court order on ICE's behalf. Fire the state police leadership now.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

He wants to arrest people quickly, out of the public eye, and whisk them away to Texas or whatever, where they are being detained indefinitely (despite this being against the law) and sometimes deported.

anyway ICE cars are sighted nonstop, abductions continue at a high rate, and school absenteeism remains about 50% as tens of thousands of families remain in hiding. the city is being economically flattened. aftermath I guess

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Good. Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

It's #superbowl Sunday! Whether you're rooting for the #patriots or the #seahawks, we're all about to be swamped with ads for #ai. so I thought it might be helpful to point out that a #chatbot really can't produce anything worth a damn.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
