Turns out First They Came poem in the original German lists Communists as the Nazis first targets. Most US english translations I see skip those lines entirely. Can only assume it’s because we (🇺🇸) agree with the Nazis on that. Says a lot.

losing a war feels way better than i always imagined it would

So, anyway: How about that Moon?! (The Earth isn’t bad either!)

What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.

seems like an important piece of info for anyone using the nextdoor app

Can someone please tell me if I'm overreacting here? Is an organization contacting somebody's emergency contact to ask for a favor an acceptable use of emergency contact information? This feels absolute egregious to me. I'm actually indignant. But I'm willing to be corrected if I'm overreacting.

The thing is people were pleading with Mainers MONTHS ago to find another progressive candidate to support that didn't have a Nazi tattoo and the response was just "lol no."

i will happily make a lot of concessions for fashion i don’t totally love but flip flops with dress pants is a hard line. absolutely the fuck not.

Ah.

Will never stop thinking about how as a little kid I asked my mom how many homeless people die because of the heat and she laughed at me and said "people die in the cold, not the heat!" and then I grew up and googled it and it turns out the US just... chose not to count heat deaths. Wonder why

putting together a tactical team to go and extract jim bob's laptop and hard drive, let me know if you want in

Growing up we never got good grades, extra credit, or a pass for "doing the best we could." We got good grades for *doing the work correctly* This is a reflection for parents of Millennials

The Middle East is famously a region with no geopolitics.

Credit Scores wasn’t created until 1989 ICE wasn’t created until 2003 Abolish both

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

keep having to point out to my kid that as a self identifying marxist he needs to leave half the pizza for his brother. synaptic pruning is a helluva drug.

ok i *just* found out that some sharks lay eggs and other sharks give birth to live young AND LITERALLY NOT ONE OF YOU THOUGHT TO TELL ME 🦈

hide your dogs, hide your kids cause kristi noem is killing everyone up in this bitch

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died. Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit. We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

my my how the turntables! one of us is still in portland oregon with huge hair and it's not her!

I once tweeted - and people fought me on it - that the US could leave 80% of the global south to starve [or drown] and most white liberals would not give a fuck unless their iphone orders were late. Anyway... luv 2 b rite about this shit. <3

I'd just like to remind everyone of our agreement that when we do Reconstruction 2.0 we are going to hold the fucking line, and not just quit in the name of whitebrotherly love or whatever the fuck

The successful effort to force Biden out signaled to elite media that they had a veto over Democratic Party primary voters. Whether they successfully exercise it or simply try to in 2028 is an open question but bet your sweet nippy they’re going to try.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

people will keep saying more absurd things for views. we monetized nonsense. honestly we should have been prepared when the "Helen Keller wasn't real" disinfo campaign broke containment... interesting to note the potential gendered-ness of the lies, though. much easier to claim a woman wasn't real

holy shit i just heard someone say that Trump wouldn't actually take María Corina Machado's peace prize because he opposes men taking women's trophies. 🏅

Weyland Yutani has zero discernible crew safety protocols and I find that personally offensive.

It's weird that they're both posting as if they don't live in puerto rico, where they both moved to avoid paying taxes

A friend's mom is theorizing that Super Bowl organizers specifically chose Bad Bunny so that Trump would stay away, and I just want to say that I'm 100% here for this conspiracy theory.

Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s. They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Also, i loved the Sugar Cane scene because it reminded me of how our folks did the same kinda work in the south.

Last time Seahawks won a super bowl I was tweeting my ass off so it feels appropriate to come on here now and remember that moment.

My BFF’s final take on the game.

Well, the Patriots literally allow their jets to be used for ICE deportations.

🚨Marshawn Lynch commercial🚨 "Nothing tastes as good as getting your lick back"

to a child, the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac is indistinguishable from true crime.

Research says this same dynamic occurs in police departments between white and nonwhite officers.

if you google "focus on the family epstein files, this is the first thing that comes up. author is the VP of comms at FotF. Someone might wanna email him and tell him one J Eps was a big fan of his work! (also: odds this will be gone by morning?) dailycitizen.focusonthefamily.com/the-epstein-...

Not the point but these are the kinds of revelations that white liberals go fullracist over. (Not a critique of ProPublica, I'm criticizing the typical liberal response to nonwhite people on the "other team" committing crimes.)

A note from our editors:

Five-year-olds don't have the right to stay alive in their own classrooms but christian nationalists have the right to not be yelled at in church? k

if you think about it the electoral college is just affirmative action for slaveowners

The BEST thing about all these billionaires being obsessed with longevity is that when we hit em with that Reconstruction 2.0, they're gonna spend 100 more years living in a 2 bedroom apartment, taking the bus to their living wage service job. Art.

[This is an endorsement of EDUCATION, FREE HEALTHCARE, and COMMUNITY SUPPORT!!! NOT!!!!! eugenics!!!!] It's WILD that we just let any random person take home a newborn human infant!!!!! Seems like a bad call!!!! Also, IS a bad call!!!

She likely believes the other two in the trinity were DEI hires

Hey lady, it's Mister Pope to you
