43/ pro tip: "you have a number of hurdles here" is a very funny way for a judge to say "you have the shittiest case I have ever seen"

Keenan’s mom is a brash, funny, tough talking woman who has worked in the film industry for decades. But he has one question: why did she give up her dreams of being a singer songwriter? www.hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyper...

Dems. Please. Stop proposing and running on tax cuts. I have no idea where this cursed trend came from, although I can guess. But your hypothesis on why to do this is wrong and you are badly missing where most Americans are at. Short thread with sources, focus group sound, and data.

ME: [laughing] hey man, whered you get that boule? the boulangerie? [high fives other bully]

Can’t believe you withhold this insight from the folks here

It's no wonder then that so many of us want these humans simply disappeared. And they are humans in case you need reminding. They aren't a threat so much as they are an indictment. Look at what we allow. orbooks.com/catalog/we-h...

I love nextdoor & local reddits. Guy 1: “B-1 lancer is circling over the mountains. What’s going on??” Guy 2: “Super Bowl” Guy 3: “heard lots of police sirens. RELATED???”

Jeff Bezos had $75 million to bribe Trump for the Melania movie but cut 16,000 jobs at Amazon and is cutting more at the Washington Post today. And somehow people *dont* want to campaign on the issue of evil billionaires.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

Plese repost & share: "The risks of using generative artificial intelligence to educate children and teens currently overshadow the benefits, according to a new study by the Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education." www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

i read stuff like this and can genuinely angry at guys like jd vance who insist that this country belongs to some narrow vision of the "native born"

SINNERS

The Weber-Fechner Law of psychophysics: your perception of senses is logarithmic, not linear. It all works like decibels, basically. A sensation has to be much stronger for you to feel it has doubled, than twice as strong. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber%E...

As I predicted, California flexed its power, definitively. And it shouldn't stop now: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly 🧵

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Activists in Seattle just sent us this update from the Tesla showroom in South Lake Union. This is the heart of Seattle's tech core, blocks from Amazon HQ and Google's Seattle campus. We can win. We are winning. Keep pushing. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions. If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

Oh god I accidentally opened twitter and thought I was having a psychotic break

A whole thing of pasta salad in the heaviest bowl you've ever seen on a weak fold out table. The tinfoil half on and a wooden spoon poking out. Penne, lemon, olive oil, red wine vinegar, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, cucumber,kalamata olives, flies buzzing around, feta wilting in the sun

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

We've gotta bloody the likes of Gillibrand, Gillen, Suozzi, Goldman nice and early over their Islamophobic Zohran bullshit and it's gotta leave a mark. The fash is going to be beyond vile during this race, and squishes on the blue side of the aisle have to learn what happens to traitors

And I resent the way companies are trying to force it. The other day Slack emailed saying they were adding AI to their product that already functions fine. I immediately cancelled that account. I don’t want it. It is not a benefit or feature. It is a yoke. I am happy on this hill even if I am alone

He was spitting and they played him off like it was an Oscars speech

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

In December, Nancy Pelosi intervened to keep AOC from getting the top spot on the oversight committee, and giving it to 74 year old Gerry Connolly, despite him having cancer. Now, he's dead. Have the past 5 months been an important time for Congressional oversight?

the thing about the stupid "actually there's not a shortage of housing, there's just tons of secret housing that's vacant" argument is that, even if those people are right (they're not), building more housing still fixes the problem

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

I think we should start doing things to rich people

This is high art

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.
