when mr. rogers died nobody had to defend him, say he was a loving father with kids, or claim we was quoted out of context, everyone knew he was a nice guy. lots to learn here.

Europeans don't, maybe sometimes can't, understand the absolute crushing pressure and gaslighting that most Americans are put through to make us the way we are. It's a decades long effort to turn most of the population into a money and power pump for a tiny elite class, all while grinding us […]

Tank, I need an exit.

Mood for today...

Can we please never forget this. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

Not what I expected from Technology Connections, but sounds about right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9nt2ZeGM

2025 mood continuing in 2026.

Don't worry, I've got you Rest in Peace, Alex. Beautiful street art tribute by Topsy (topsy_paints on Instagram) in Seattle, U.S.

Zohran is expanding the number of public toilets in NYC and improving how the existing ones are cleaned and maintained. If this is a big enough initiative it will have a huge impact on quality of life for new yorkers. I don't know if it is big enough. Nonetheless *this* is the way to address […]

“Do not engage in a winter campaign in bitterly cold areas. You will lose not just your army, but most likely your throne.” - literally every military historian ever “GET IN THE CAR, LOSERS, WE’RE GONNA INVADE MINNESOTA IN LATE JANUARY” - the Trump administration

A lot of Europeans and even some Americans don't seem to understand why Americans aren't "doing more" to fight fascism. So as an American here's an explanation. First, we are. It's not being reported. Our media has congealed into a few huge oligarchies. I was involved in a local protest in […]

Don't let democracy be undermined by tools of surveillance and control. Donate to EFF this week and you'll get an automatic match. https://eff.org/power-up

People say they want to manufacture real things in America again BUT they complain that it’s “inappropriate” and “not productive” to talk about how we need lots of guillotines. Like make up your minds!

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

Last night my wife and I went to a talk by Sanna Marin, who became Prime Minister of Finland at 34. She was very impressive, particularly for her indomitable opposition to Putin and her clear call for opposition to Russian aggression.

Mamdani is going to implement Shar Law. Everyone will have to bow down to the Mistress of the Night, the Lady of Loss, and devote themselves to bringing about a darkness that will smother her hated foe and sister Selûne

The Democratic Party would do well to look to the social programs of the Black Panther Party as inspiration if SNAP disappears on Saturday. Just running party-sponsored food drives and regular party-sponsored spaghetti dinners in some major cities would be both helpful and good PR.

What will poor Eric Adams do for work? That’s nbody’s business but the Turks!

War ravaged Portland

Forgive me for sounding like an extremist, but if the purpose of society isn't to house, feed, and care for its members, what the fuck is the purpose?

Just remember all of you billionaires out there...

The Onion going hard on ICE

via #jatinmodi on #linkedin Wall Street just discovered its most profitable product: stories that investors desperately want to believe. In 1720, the South Sea Company held exclusive British rights to the Spanish American slave trade. Shares 10x'ed in six months. To justify the valuation, the […]

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing. Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.

@fatsam I'd much rather talk things over like civilized folks, and tax the corporations and billionaires so they pay their fair share. The French solution is riskier for all, and quite painful for the survivors.

Getting ready to head out. #NoKings #Pride #protest

I am at an event in Los Angeles and true to the administration’s claims it is violent, bloody, profane, and full of murderers and dangerous evil people. I mean it’s a group of middle-aged guys playing D&D but it’s definitely all of that stuff.

@kenwhite.bsky.social Is he talking about the US space program that was developed by Wernher von Braun, Qian Xuesen, and many other immigrants?

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

A post on another platform where someone has a "stronger than cancer" t-shirt on because they've survived it and I... other people don't die from cancer because they are not strong enough, tae fuck with this shite
