More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.

Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.” This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

Fuck, how am I going to do my banking?

Is this shit finally done for the day

I’m glad Bluesky exists but if I can’t make a maga dipshit feel a sinking feeling in their chest when they realize their own meaninglessness what’s the point…

Let’s go

I got a time out on Twitter for telling someone to end it all. But I don’t really feel bad about it

I love it when a bunch of people get fired for saying “Charlie Kirk might have been stoking the kind of hate that gets people killed” and the Kill Tony guys are like “I have free speech, I can use most of the slurs”

The lyric that has stuck in my head for decades and decades and seems to suit all the more about now: "Forget all that you're told You are young, they are old CONTROL is all they've got to GIVE! Just live how you want to live!"

Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about President Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud. popular.info/p/new-oklaho...

Is it possible that the best song about the papal conclave is from Jamaica? Is it also possible that it is the best song ever recorded? You bet it is: youtu.be/cFrHuys02l0?...

Trying to spend more time over here

Absolute mass psychosis

Anyway, I wrote all this already. I'm just still processing that a bunch of replacement-level rats could gnaw through so much of a century of hard-won progress, in just a few weeks. As someone with some residual pride in this country it's mostly just embarrassing. defector.com/billionaire-...

Just to be clear, this means Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D.C. has fired almost every domestic violence prosecutor in the office. And because we’re not a state, D.C.’s attorney general can’t bring felony charges against domestic abusers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

Passion gat decor kind of day

Incredible how much better the OG “summer of love” (not the official album version) is youtu.be/O1O_TNZfvBY

Josh oconnor in “La chimera” is giving incredible Elliott Gould vibes

locks aside - tesla keeps video of people at charging stations and will happily hand it over to the police?

My fb got hacked somehow … nice

My fav Robert Palmer is “I didn’t mean to turn you on” and esp the dub mix, Bernard Edwards production

there is a 24/7 right-wing propaganda apparatus that operates across multiple mediums and it designed to do exactly this: smother any kind of local, material concern with cultural war signifiers and cultivate a “political affiliation as team sport” ethos

Total piece of shit

I know this may sound harsh, but if you truly believe in the concept of the “literary muse” you are dumber than a bag of hammers

have to decide my vibe on the new app. do I block 'brooklyndad_defiant' or do I leave him out there

trying to get trump to make him attorney general was, in retrospect, a hilarious 'long bomb' attempt from a guy on his own one yard line

I don't think there's much of a political downside for any elected democrat to vociferously defend trans rights but I'm sure there are some well-paid piece of shit party stratgestists with a twtter account jam packed with demented posts going back years who are telling them otherwise

man WTF?

how it feels sometimes

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

If there's one thing Republicans hate more than Matt Gaetz, it's Matt Gaetz facing any consequences for his actions.

Democrats have the majority for less than two more months. I'll be using every second to push for passage of my PRESS Act to protect journalists from government spying and surveillance.

As reactionary pundits rush to blame Harris’ loss on those fighting for trans rights, here’s a reminder that centrist Dems blamed Gavin Newsom’s vocal support of gay marriage for John Kerry’s loss in 2004 Nothing new under the sun
