Billionaires will continue to pay nothing

Kurt Schwitters, Elikan, Collage, 1925

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

I LOVE the TikTok trend of families & friends recreating this scene. So damn wholesome.

Three short whistles if you see ICE in your area; three long whistles if you see ICE kidnapping someone. 3D printed whistles can be found for free at just about any local/independent business in the twin cities. (We more flyers in Somali, and Dakotiyapi/Anishinaabemowin)

People were out on Lake Street to protest the ongoing presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Twin Cities.

Students participated in a walkout outside Apple Valley High School on Monday, protesting against ICE presence and arrests in the Twin Cities area.

People in apartment windows. Almost impossible to tell which is Ozu

Sharyn Alfonsi is walking the walk. I hope we have many more journalists who have this kind of courage. Reporting the "truth" of what is going on, is the most fundamental principal of what a news organization is supposed to do. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

This is the funniest and most embarrassing possible outcome for Bari. People are going to get to see a totally normal news piece that clearly isn't biased against Trump and think, "She was afraid that THIS would upset the administration??"

This is the type of response I'd get from other editors at NYT when I'd pitch them on opinion pieces. Opinion sections at newspapers value contrarianism over everything else.

I firmly believe we're going to survive this era -- broken, hobbled, with decades of rebuilding that will not be finished in my lifetime -- but we are going to survive and every asshole who collaborated in the effort to destroy this country will forever wear the stain of it.

I can work with that: Rap rap rapping at the chamber door Queen step in—whole room want more Crown on beat, that Houston roar Every note knock like destiny’s call Halo to Lemonade, hear floor adore Bass say bow when Beyoncé soar Rap rap rapping—history encore She don’t knock. She be the door

If you think this is about free speech - rather than a wilful goading by money and power of a screwed over minority - just ask yourself how the media would cover this story if Alice Sullivan was an anti-semite and these were Jewish students rightly protesting at her being invited onto their campus.

Half of Transgender, Gender Diverse Youth Report Suicidal Thoughts “In a study of 131,429 TGD individuals ages 25 and younger, 48.8% experienced suicidal ideation and 26.2% reported a suicide attempt”

Please share. Thanks

The smear campaign against Mustapha Kharbouch -- falsely accused of the Brown shooting and MIT murder by powerful politicians, pundits and plutocrats -- is a prime example of how pervasive racism has become. It's also a story largely ignored by the mainstream media www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Trump is incapable of making anything better, but he's a genius at making things worse. So. . .

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Will the people fainting over trans women and girls in playing women’s sports have anything to say about this? I have cleaned my ears out and am carefully listening for their outrage.

It's actually because Labour is very racist and transphobic, hates poor people, is hugely authoritarian, consistently punishes those with disabilities, and supports genocide. Anyone claiming being against that is demanding 'perfection' is just an embarrassing cunt.

Weren't these two announced as the new leadership of the legal department just this morning? Rats from a sinking ship, except the last two rats briefly considered accepting a promotion to captain.

All I want for Christmas 🎄 is for cars in cities to be forced to drive less than 20 mph and yield to people on foot and on bicycles and in strollers and using wheelchairs and walkers. These monsters think they can drive as fast as they possibly can everywhere because they are somehow important?

"I want to talk about the scene where Ronal (Kate Winslet)...screams, “I’m gonna die! But not before I push out this baby!” to Neytiri before she does indeed push out her baby and die, which gave me a tantalizing peek into how good this movie could’ve been with a John Waters at the helm." brutal!

According to Burgum, the US is the only country on the planet where wind farms interfere with radar and pose a national security threat because of that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The legacy media narrative has been unified in claiming that Jeffrey Epstein abused minors. But how can anyone report that without interviewing Jeffrey Epstein? I asked Alan Dershowitz. —Bari Weiss, today in the New York Times

look at this absurd office chair i got off of craigslist. i’m obsessed with it. it looks like gordon gekko’s gooning chair. it looks like it’ll call you a bizarre slur after its third harvey wallbanger

man I love avocados but I really wish they weren't so hard to cut

Them: "Hey, we're just talking about gametes here." Us: "Cool, then shut up about adult phenotypes and social constructs like gender."

More than two dozen rabbis were arrested this morning for sitting down on the floor in Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s office and praying for food aid for people in Gaza. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

“Am chun smaoineamh faoin mbliain amach romhainn agus an cineál domhain ar mhaith linn a bheith againn, an cineál domhain ar mhaith linn a fhágáil inár ndiaidh mar oidhreacht dár gcuid páistí.” - President Catherine Connolly www.independent.ie/irish-news/w...

I expect Alfonsi to be pushed out by tomorrow. The gravest sin anyone can make for Bari Weiss is making her look bad.

The democrats move to the right, abandoning democratic issues and are surprised people on the left rise up to fill the void. 🙄 just shocked, shocked I tell you. 😒

You are not "my own."

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

yeah I have so many people replying to me like "they don't plan to answer to the voters" I mean of course they don't but their "plan" is, by all appearances, of underpants gnomes level of sophistication. 1) Do crime in public. 2) ??? 3) Never lose power.

It’s unreal how bad this guy sucks

Weiss is bad at this. It’s too big a stage. She’s the Kash Patel of journalism

Claire Denis channels Ozu in 35 Rhums' tale of a father-daughter relationship disrupted by the passage of time. I don't know when it was I finally realized this was essentially doing Late Autumn Afternoon, but the bright red rice cooker is such a wonderful first touch.

This star of the Oshima film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence was a also singer youtu.be/RRCKPAHUorI

One thing (among many) that I love about my students and what I teach is that I get emails after semester ends that say things like “hey Professor, I haven’t forgotten that I promised you a playlist of Icelandic pop to check out. Stay tuned!”

They 100% asked for comment from the White House; no way in hell they didn't. This means the White House refused to comment, then Weiss used that as an excuse to kill the story.

man, i'm fucking pissed i'm this close to going full spider jerusalem mode (going on a bender and writing an article)
