So that plane wasn’t free after all…

🇺🇸 Al menos 22 personas, incluidos los dos hombres muertos en el ataque contra una oficina del ICE en Dallas, fallecieron bajo custodia de la agencia migratoria en el año fiscal 2025 dozz.es/ok2sr8

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Unprecedented constitutional crimes every day, & yet somehow it’s still not the main front page headline every day. The noise is getting covered. The signal is absent.

It was a beautiful night and concert for Chappell Roan and her fans from the grounds of the National WWI Museum and Memorial on one of her three stops nationwide. Thanks to the crews, the band, our great guests, and all who made it possible. Enjoy the show in Kansas City tonight as well!

Any solution now is going to be long & difficult. There was a super-easy solution -- just don't let the guy win the election -- but everybody had other priorities, I guess, so here we are.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

My kids know how irrationally angry I get at the rap videos they are assigned to clip/quote for homework. Imagine answering questions about the respiratory system by watching the same video over and over again listening for the answer. And we wonder why kids can’t read.

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

Since we're saving coal & manufacturing & playing all the greatest hits, your regular reminder that most Americans now work in the non-tradable services sector, experience trade only as consumers, & the mercantilism does nothing but make them poorer when they shop at Target, Costco, & Walmart.

today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

So who's gonna start a streaming platform for 'We were kicked off network TV'? Now THAT'S one I'd subscribe to.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Someone posted here once that the tech bros faith in AI & tech isn't because they understand tech so well; it's because they understand humans so little. I find myself thinking about that a lot.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

No shit…

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

How does one go about getting Melissa Hortman to trend on Bluesky?

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

A decent standard of living? In the richest country on earth? It’s too much to ask, apparently.

“It is not a radical idea to say that every man, woman and child in America can have a decent standard of living.”

Anyway, as we start another year, here is my very unpopular free advice for college students navigating the Scylla & Charybdis of pressures from parents & "the job market" about choosing a major. You may not make a lot of $ 2 years post-BA, but the liberal arts will never fail you over the long run.

👇🎯 The case for more, not less, liberal arts education, remains as strong as ever. No matter what crypto bros, AI paladins, or CEOs regurgitating right-wing talking points about skills & higher education tell you, the ability to read & write well are the two scarcest resources in the labor market.

Oh HELL yes

We were psyop-ed by Russia starting in 2015.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I can’t live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

I genuinely suspect these people don't see this sort of thing as lying. In the perverse world they inhabit, they seem to consider it 'truth creation' because whether or not something is factual matters less to them than what they can convince people is true.

. THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . . ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ .

Kansas City has been nearly perfect over their last 11 games, earning 31 out of 33 possible points. For perspective, only one other team has accumulated 31 points over their entire season.

Other people who are clearly interested in running: — Pritzker — Beshear — Walz — AOC — Whitmer

It’s strikingly similar to a ragtag militia in some war torn place manning a road block
