On a serious note: this is exactly what the right does all the time. “You didn’t pat me on the back enough for not being openly racist so I’m gonna be a Nazi now” is kinda their whole thing.

i was gonna make a joke about “racist wheaties” and found this by googling “anti-woke cereal”

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

Personally if I was Anne Boleyn I’d be far more upset that someone made a musical about my head getting cut off

He was the guy dispatched to say stuff like this when CBP turned away asylum seekers: www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2023/05/20/u...

Colorado to pay $6.1 million over attempt to ban abortion pill “reversal”

Emma is a war refugee and survivor of conversion therapy whose work, feminism, and feedback have all been invaluable to me and my nonfiction. Please consider helping her out if you can.

hey! a friend of mine has a trans daughter in girl scouts who needs to sell 238 more boxes to reach her goal let’s help her get there and show a trans kid a little love 🤗

It sounds ludicrous and oversimplified if you're not a huge racist with a host of insecurities, but "Obama" is one of the key explanations for a lot of what Trump and Republicans do. (Other similar explanations include "gender" and "to own the libs.")

This is the "you're a Russian crisis actor disinfo bot if you criticize my DFL Democrats fundraising grift" guy.

Houston Texans’ Azeez Al-Shaair has reportedly been fined $11,593 for wearing eye black that contained the message "stop the genocide” The report says he was fined for violating NFL uniform and equipment rules www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

I think one reason they feel comfortable constantly repeating this obvious nonsense is because there isn't a single right-wing media personality or operation that isn't astroturfed by billionaire sociopaths or foreign governments

"It was possible to believe that the group had just enough viewpoint diversity, and a depth of commitment to civil libertarian principles, that it might transcend the virtue signaling, intellectual hegemony and inclination to cancel"

"The tardy and petulant response of Musk has given comfort to those who seek to exploit. He has been supported by the US Vice President J D Vance and in the UK by Nigel Farage. They are free speech extremists who do not represent the values of billions of ordinary people worldwide."

Remember that the USSR did not collapse under the force of its best actors, architects, and agents; It was maliciously husked by the Oligarchs that continue to squat in its corpse.

Person with traceable online presence going back decades: "this Newsom character seems like bad news." Tomasina_Cats1965.bsky.social with @ pfp who has only ever posted one other time, six months ago, to say they have valid concerns about trans kids: "The right is at it again 🙄"

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Why does he want everybody in the country to be hideous?

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home

One of our neighbors has put this sign up repeatedly in their own yard and ICE keeps coming by and stealing it

Meanwhile in Minneapolis, the National Guard is being deployed today to escort the *checks news* *checks news again* *checks my vision at the optometrist* *checks news* racists marching through Somali neighborhoods to protest the existence of day cares for Black kids mndaily.com/city/minneso...

Don't know if I've ever seen a political writer with the broad-spectrum disdain that Matt Bai seems to have earned and now he's got a Rolling Stone gig. The fact the K-hive hates his guts too is funny though

nickies' pizzablivion mod for oblivion lets you order pizza in real life by talking to an NPC in the game and that's better

New: Jake Lang's Campaign of Terror The far-right influencer and J6 convict Jake Lang has been on a rampage across the country, sparking violent encounters through racist and islamophobic rallies. Tomorrow, he's leading a rally in Minneapolis. unicornriot.ninja/2026/jake-la...

according to this map, the only business in charlottesville currently making millions off ICE contracts is govsmart, a company whose CEO also owns the local franchise of gracie jiu jitsu. interesting!

Despite the Humungus's promises, guzzoline prices are still rising fast. The wasteland can't afford this... when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

i don’t think its possible to reform a paramilitary organization that considers queerphobia a core value, and queerbaiting a key mission

we are truly in our Bad Sentence To Read Era

i will personally never forget watching doctors cry in interviews and then reading the phrase “the largest cohort of pediatric amputees in history.” i think that was six months in. but that’s just me.

New in @boltsmag.org: Virginia voters will decide this year whether to repeal the state's exceptionally harsh Jim Crow-era policy of banning anyone with any felony from voting for life. This will be the country's first statewide vote on felony disenfranchisement since 2020.

Hey this guy is running as a Dem in Ventura. Yes. He loves Gavin Newsom and Auschwitz.

The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does (ICE): - Generate widespread fear in targeted communities - Show State willing to use lethal force against innocents - Establish precedent agents can kill w/o accountability - Test limits of federal power vs state/local - Maximize visible enforcement presence

I would like to underscore this part: "People are in the streets in greater numbers than the first Trump term." Elite pundits and opinion are extremely resistant to this fact and it has trickled down to regular people. But it is demonstrably TRUE. Ask why they are so resistant? Who does it serve?

the artists at tokki tokki tattoo are assembling protest kits, collecting donations, painting anti-ICE signs—and doing this. hell yeah.

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States. It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

in case you didn't understand why transphobic rhetoric worried us so much about this guy, well it's because it's a signal that shit like this is coming next.

Jarring to see the footage of this video juxtaposed with the narration describing "rising tensions" and other milquetoast expressions. The violence in the clips is only coming from one direction: ICE.

"ICE is out of control and beyond reform. We must fundamentally change the way we approach immigration: it’s time to abolish ICE." See, Dems? You can actually say it, and even draft legislation about it! It's possible to do!

Shocked to learn that CEOs are allergic to the concept of a collective action problem.

A medical examiner told the family of 55-year-old Cuban immigrant, Geraldo Lunas Campos, unless a toxicology report comes back with something, he will likely rule his death a homicide. But DHS claims that Lunas Campos died taking his own life. trib.al/zIxCu0k

it's not too late, how do we morbius them into thinking we actually wanted it

"Talking straight here, the big problem in this case is that the cabinet secretaries and, ostensibly, the president of the United States are not honoring the First Amendment,” Judge William G. Young said. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

So this is unbelievably vile. From someone I consider a very trusted source.
