If you’re giving money to a white supremacist who put thousands of my colleagues out of work, decimated American science, and killed millions of people just so you can use a water-guzzling, misinformation-hawking racist chatbot the least I can do is make you embarrassed to admit it out loud.

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

look I'm going to give the guy some credit, he's always finding brand new ways to fuck things up that I simply never would have considered "I'm blowing up aircraft certifications because of private jets and also because I want to take over canada" I mean what

The "release them in the middle of nowhere to die in the cold" tactic was called "starlight tours" when the Mounties invented it to kill Indigenous people. www.theguardian.com/world/2023/a...

Baby shampoo mixed with water recommended as optimal treatment for pepper spray by an ophthalmologist, which speaking as a maker of soap & “personal care products” makes total sense. Milk products not recommended primarily due to risk of infection. Plain water is fine & much better than nothing!

El Perro

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

“It’s worse than people think,” said attorney Eric Lee, who tried to visit clients at Dilley on Saturday. “The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”

Ayuso ha hecho un funeral para todas las víctimas al que ha ido solo una víctima, casualmente alcalde del PP en un pueblo de Madrid. Espectacular se queda corto.

Great how whenever the cops gun someone down we have to have a whole public trial about whether or not they were a bad person, when that's very much what actual trials are for. You can be the worst person in the country and the cops still can't just shoot you. Trials are not really a minor detail.

The only Democratic statements I want to hear about the Trump gestapo are like this, from the awesome Philly DA Larry Krasner. No less truth, no less fire.

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

WHEW hold on to your butts (it might be a good day to load Linux onto a USB stick and just play around a bit)

Oye pues si se trata de preservar la "ética del diálogo" (¡Viva la cursilería!) para cuando unas jornadas sobre: "Los que se aprovecharon del genocidio de republicanos: cuánto robaron y cuando deberían devolverlo".

It’s cold out there. Stay cozy, frens

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

NEW: A ton of additional details about Mobile Fortify, including the company behind the app, which is being used by ICE agents to scan the faces of countless people in the US. The app sends that data to CBP, which uses AI to match the info with existing records.

Even if you're solidly Team Come At Me Bro, I'm Doing Nothing Illegal with the feds -- there are right-wing assholes who've "infiltrated" Signal chats, don't make it easy for them to send you 200 pizzas and a SWAT team. Use a pseud on Signal!

Sorry but why did I once fall down a fjord in Norway collecting valuable functional group and carbon emission data if tech overlords were simply going to decide it was fine to hallucinate science into textable reality

"There’s an extremely hurtful narrative going around that my product, a revolutionary new technology that exists to scam the elderly and make you distrust anything you see online, is harmful to society."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

¿El Gobierno de Ayuso eliminando páginas de contratos públicos donde aparece cuánto pagamos a Quirón? No puede ser, Sara… Dentro hilo ⬇️🧵

Estupendos motes de Reverte, "Rambito" entre los reporteros de guerra y "Bic Cristal" entre los academicos de la lengua porque escribe normal.

Morosos. El alquiler es un negocio. El que te da dinero es tu cliente. De hecho tu mejor cliente, porque te suelta un pastón. Los clientes que no pagan a tiempo son MOROSOS. Segun estadísticas un 3%. O sea en la vida alquilarás a 100 parejas y sólo 3 te dejarán de pagar. Se hace un seguro y listos.

Tres noticias juntas para entender qué está pasando: - El juez Piña rechaza investigar a Cospedal en el Caso Villarejo. - El juez Piña abre diligencias por una querella de Hazte Oír contra Zapatero. - El juez Piña tramita una querella contra el ministro Puente para la que no tiene competencia.

Vamos a ver una cosita. Sobre el accidente ferroviario o, en general sobre cualquier accidente que tiene que ver con los trabajos en obras que son competencia de las profesiones reguladas, hay que aclarar una cosita.

Se hace saber que la tienda de Palestinarte que pertenece a la UNRWA ha repuesto las kufiyas (fabricadas por Hirbawi en Hebrón, pero a las que les cambian el nombre). Envían desde España por Correos y salen más baratas que pedir directamente a Hirbawi.

La votación de ayer del congreso lo que nos debería hacer ver es que lo de que hay una mayoría de izquierdas en el parlamento es un espejismo. Hay una mayoría de derechas que por circunstancias no son capaces de formalizar un gobierno.

I post this link merely as a cultural curiosity and not so that anyone could print one if, say, whistles were banned. Obviously that would be wrong.

The "ban whistles" stuff is how you know whistles are working incredibly well

Really, Hello Kitty Island Adventure??

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

She took a half step back and then stepped AT this dude. ICE needs 30 masked guys each with their own body armor and assault rifle to even approach this level of courage.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Discworld QOTD, from Carpe Jugulum

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.

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

Un Rayuela de la Junta de Extremadura avisa a las 22:00h de la suspensión de las clases para mañana en Extremadura, la plataforma ha colapsado y ello llevará a que muchas familias ni se enteren.

A little information for protesters having to deal with LRADS, the new sonic weapons the feds are deploying against citizens:

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

La razón es que los perros no están dentro de la rueda de destrucción que el capitalismo impone a la gente obrera.

Reflecting on THE atlantic article. It’s a searing, enraging, heartbreaking piece but more than that - it should be comforting to good people, and scary for bad guys. I believe that we can protect our neighbors when the violence comes, and I know there are more of us than there are of them

10/10 no notes

This is a terrific piece of rhetorical construction that also happens to be a very good point. A lot of us have been heartened by the courage and integrity so many Minnesotans have shown over this past week, in the face of intimidation and spiteful violence.

Martinez took five bullets from a CBP agent, and DHS went into overdrive claiming she was an armed threat to the agents who were merely defending themselves. Sound familiar?

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.
