Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

ICE AGENTS ARE FOLLOWING OBSERVERS TO THEIR HOMES. THEY ARE DOING THE EXACT SHIT JOHNSON SAYS IS INTOLERABLE!

There are humans behind the concentration camps, like CoreCivic CEO Damon T. Hininger and board chair Mark A. Emkes. One of the most important things Dems like @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social can do now is name the people running CoreCivic and promise prison time for any known crimes.

Leon Botstein absolutely has to leave Bard College

Currently dialed into a community board meeting where a bunch of boomer NIMBYs are trying to argue this NoHo parking lot needs to be preserved and not turned into affordable housing. god, NIMBYs are beyond parody. they must be politically crushed

Carmen Miranda - BOTD

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are? STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

I hope you spend some time with this story today. It's incredibly important and a small window into what's happening behind the federal government's detention center doors. www.propublica.org/article/life...

You can always mask again, and is grocery shopping or a crowded train worth getting sick over, when we have an incredibly effective tool to drastically reduce risk in public, crowded places? If you can’t afford a high quality respirator, you can also look for your mask bloc maskbloc.org

did a libertarian write this

Clinics that relied on USAID and PEPFAR closed with little or no notice, or became overburdened by a lack of resources, an influx of clients, or both.

If they wanted to make a real tearjerker ad it would just be someone looking at housing prices in Massachusetts

RFK’s tailgate spread features mainly road-to-table bear and death cap shrooms in an aioli of secretions from his own body.

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

“Saboteurs” probably more accurate than “agitators.” Arson, destruction by people trying to make the protestors look much more violent than they were. You can look that up! Not 100% sabotage but significant. Also you cannot just keep coming at people with militarized violence and expect kumbaya.

More info on this nesting location. Two days ago 1 owlette was reported, today it was TWO. TOO FUCKING CUTE!!! 😭 😭 🪶 🐣

Don’t know who needs to hear this but one of the puppies on the Puppy Bowl this year is named Chappell Bone

JD Vance getting booed, as called around the world (auto transcribed & translated, mostly):

If people understood how political it is to collect physical media, books would be written. You have no idea how big a deal this is. That the niche hobby of collecting physical media was looked at is hipsterism, when it was just needing to be confident there wasn't AI or an ad coming lol

Remembering the great Charlie Ruggles on his birthday 💖

Whoa Black Betty

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps" The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

Disgusting. Jews are taught repeatedly to welcome the stranger. In a time of rising antisemitic violence, the Trump administration wants us to sweep that aside to get security grants. www.timesofisrael.com/us-jewish-le...

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

Terris: When I got to the Oval Office, there were two men standing there holding pieces of paper that said “talking points.” I’m not sure I was supposed to see that—and those turned out to be his doctors.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Being horrified by child rape is now polarized and politically decisive. Since that was already true of rape generally I suppose it was only a matter of time.

Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.

The fact that they think “Name one famous artist with disabilities!” is a win tells you everything you need to know about their arguments. People with disabilities are human shields to them

They've disabled quotes but Beethoven, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Goya, Matisse, Cyprián Majerník, Dorothy Stanton Wise

I had no idea dildos could expire.

They scooped @katz.theracket.news and @marisakabas.bsky.social (and perhaps others) some 30 months after the fact, but yes, it’s true.

A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

The last time this guy went to Minnesota he need a Black man and trans woman to protect him from having the shit kicked out of him. Now he got arrested for knocking down an ICE sculpture, but look at this sad sack cosplay. Who is the camo/vest for? www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

This guy is so fucking pathetic. What a gigantic fucking loser.

They complain about the male loneliness epidemic but are men parading around in peacock-plumed hats and sweeping silk robes? You gotta work with us here, boys.
