Audience was amazing too. Lots of people in leather, PVC, and motorcycle club vests. Last night’s trip into the city felt like the city’s been depleted of freaks so it was nice to see them here.

Pillion was excellent and much more stressful than I anticipated! Harry Melling is a wild talent!

i don't really follow sports, but i LOVE sports posting. I love when you all do this: @nameshiv.bsky.social

None of the Democratic messaging means anything if they continue treating Congressional Republicans like negotiating partners instead of imperial accomplices.

Guess what happened again! What is wrong with yall??

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists." The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

The reason a lot of white people can operate in the privilege of a comment like “we used to be able to have dissenting opinions & now they break friendships” is because the people of color in the room had to be silent in order to remain in the room safely.

Yeah, the real time to fix this was January 7, 2021 — or latest, January 21, 2021, and Biden just refused to do what needed to be done. I’m still reminded of how Democrats rushed the impeachment trial because Biden/Schumer didn’t want to hold up the chamber from passing COVID relief.

There's a bigger play going on here. Slumlords coordinating with ICE to roust tenants, steal or destroy their stuff, damage the building so its uninhabitable. All to trigger legal expedited evictions, make insurance claims, and then sell to developers. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Also Zohran needs to turn the cops loose on fining people who vape on the subway. Smoke outside or not at all.

I agree it’s more fun to see movies in theaters but yall bitches need to start opening them outside of the same downtown neighborhoods. I’ve got to trek an hour to see an indie? In New York? Be serious

Here’s what we know about the lynching Trey Reed: 1) he was hit on the back of the head, and had multiple contusions. 2) he was strangled manually and then hung from the tree 3) he had an altercation with 4 white students in defense of his sister, who had posted something about Charlie Kirk

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

The New York Times' political coverage is nothing more than the New York Post in a Dior gown

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

"PLEASE STOP!! I'M BORED!"

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Jesus according to MAGA: "For I was hungry and I ate your lunch, I was thirsty and I drank your milkshake, I was a stranger who pulled up the ladder behind me... Truly I tell you, oppressing the least of those illegal aliens and especially Democrats, you did for me. Verily, $#&% those people".

I wanted to do a city of ghosts episode that started at a swap meet

There are simply so many fires to attend to; we don't even have a story on the gov shutdown up, but I feel proud of what the @texasobserver.org did get to this week. Today's story, ICE snatches a Dallas Muslim leader known for his gentleness and humility: www.texasobserver.org/ice-marwan-m...

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

When they can decide anyone is a criminal you really can’t limit your advocacy and concern for the “good” non-criminals who may suffer.

Oh man RIP Patricia Routledge. youtube.com/shorts/-84lb...

Israel's army issues 'final warning' for hundreds of thousands of people to flee main urban centre as attacks escalate.

Jews, you do not need to read these replies on Yom Kippur. But leftist Gentiles who still insist there is not a problem with antisemitism on the left, you really do need to read these replies.

i really don't know how much more vocally anti-israel and anti-genocide i have to be before goyim actually care about what i have to say about their antisemitism

England gets Mason Alexander Park for Oh Mary and I’m really trying not to sulk from jealousy about it. 😭

What an incredible angle of antifascist young adults, refusing to accept Nazism on their campus. It brings tears.

If you're interested in Paramount, CBS News, the Free Press, or the right-wing takeover of the media, please help spread this around and let's see if we can find out anything interesting :-)

House of Guinness - if Succession wasn’t scared of fucking

Actual Muslim organizations in the UK are unequivocally decrying the terrorism in Manchester and mourning the dead without asterisk. As opposed to masturbatory performative Bluesky let's-bomb-Walmart twats who see an opportunity to be edgy.

I still think the Bush years were worse. Majority of people were willingly on board with his shit and everyone else was expected to be too. It was like Charlie Kirk afterdeath day everyday for eight years.

Tuesday, Georgia’s highest court sided with Black landowners in a fight over zoning changes that weakened long-standing protections for one of the South’s last Gullah Geechee communities founded by emancipated Black people. Read more: https://bit.ly/486yuuv

Any of the fashion houses think about why so many people want to wear vintage and archive instead of the new looks? Any conversation about what can be learned?

So that’s the Mugler collection…

It is so important for them, and all of us, to know that history. My family has a story: My uncle designed the first poster for the Gay Olympic Games but was censored and sued for using the word Olympic.

Short thread about the necessity of not only remembering the past but describing it to people who weren't there to experience it. Just as younger generations condescend to older ones, older generations can lack patience and empathy when dealing with younger folks who don't know everything they know.

The weird thing about people decrying physical media is ... it's not binary? I watch streaming and I also spend money on awesome little objects with movies on them. One is convenient, the other is quality. Anyway, I went to @vinsyn.bsky.social Pittsburgh! www.pittsburghmagazine.com/colliers-wee...

Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

there are simply no words to describe the grief of this happening on yom kippur.

BREAKING: sources say NARA has forced out Dr. Todd Arrington, the federal director of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, after he declined to allow the Trump administration to remove a sword from the library for a gift to King Charles lastcampaign.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

An asshole did what in Manchester??

House of Guinness is very entertaining and I’m so excited to check AO3.

I’m not sure where it streaming but Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a wildly underrated fantasy series. Evil fairies, mad women, rival magicians, and regency England! youtu.be/gXv9Ozt0thE?...
