No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.

Also, the reason this was unbanned was because another man of color from France (Adam Siao Him Fa), specifically performed it as a form of rebellion and a tribute to Bonaly, knowing that he would be penalized for doing so.

Excellent question.

How is it possible that anything about the funding fight does not include at the absolute minimum releasing every child from these concentration camps?

I just can’t believe that Bruce Wayne let the bank foreclose on the Kent farm. Like way to honor your dude, bro

Ended a teach-in recently with this advice for people outside of Mpls -- “Go to an ICE watch training, print whistles, get connected with your neighbors, and prepare to be the next city.” For a summary of the event, see: krieger.jhu.edu/chloe/2026/0...

One of the most consistent themes as I read 50-11 books on McCarthyism was the way CPUSA's advocacy for racial integration put an extreme target on their backs

One of Justice Scalia’s last votes before his death on 2/13/16 was to usher in the Court’s practice of making sweeping rulings on the emergency docket without explanation or accountability. A rich reminder of that moment from @stevevladeck.bsky.social

For a faction that says The Groups are the problem, they sure do love creating groups. More money poured into yet another think tank to tell activists they're messing things up for the Democratic Party. Good luck with this strategy. www.axios.com/2026/02/08/c...

My coworker is of Peruvian descent and she said her mom cried through the whole halftime show. I will just leave you with that.

Folks who don't care about the process and only care about the product are likely to be pro-AI. The old adage, "it's about the journey, not the destination" rolls around in my head as I get told how AI will save me time on XYZ task. Doesn't have to be good if it's done, right? (Wrong.) 🧵

The US sent one person to jail, and shes in a minimum security prison. www.axios.com/2026/02/09/e...

Last election I worked at, I held up an hours-long queue of elderly people (the people doing the staffing for the "in the old folks' home" had not considered that old people really love voting) for twenty minutes so that one old person could vote without their spouse seeing their ballot.

I just went to my 1st poll worker training last week & the old timers there would walk over hot coals to protect someone’s right to vote.

I know many older ladies working at polls and every single one of them have canes (something they encouraged each other to get I can’t imagine why) and can verbally berate people to the point of tears (I’ve seen w my own eyes!) They know the rules and tell me all the time they’ve lived good lives.

Across our activation research, we've found it's not how much you dislike MAGA but rather whether you see their actions as rupture that indicate if you're willing to step up and change your own actions in response. Some positive movement:

THEE PACK!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve seen a lot of questions on these lines, and the quick answer is that once the federal government purchases the property (including the land the warehouse sits on), local governments cannot regulate them or tax them. They are now federal properties and so the Supremacy Clause applies.

What's happening in the NY juvenile justice system right now is a SCANDAL? Atrocious. The young people trapped in the system need a robust organizing campaign to address all of the issues.

and they’re skating to a Lenny kravitz medley ????

The ninth day of Black History Month is Alice Walker’s birthday. Her work has been foundational to me as an art historian. “In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens” argues for the reclamation of quotidian forms of beauty as art. It revolutionized how I think about Black women’s cultural production during

Racial and cultural pluralism are read as left-wing, and these are the spaces most closely associated with that in the public sphere.

The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it. Here's a running thread of the people and organizations who want Senators to VOTE NO on S.J. Res102: 🧵

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

"A Rochester police officer lied about having probable cause and falsely arrested a man during an unlawful traffic stop, a federal jury has found. The man, Devin Johnson, spent more than a year in Monroe County Jail before the charges against him were dismissed by a judge."

Birnam Wood do come to Dunsinane

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

Fuck AI, fuck ICE, and long live a free Puerto Rico.

Yall—

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer: 1) boasts about the poor place he’s from; 2) boosts the value of agriculture; 3) celebrates small town life; 4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and 5) promotes marriage. And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

They got Ferris on the payroll, too?

Also peep the link of surveillance and power and light between Benito and Kendrick even being as specific as possible artistically about where they are from we can see the links We are not imagined averages of norms But incredible survivors of extremes Always watched still finding joy

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

Anywho, would be nice if there were Latine and Caribbean cultural critics employed by the MSM...

and the national anthem was signed by Fred Beam- super accomplished artist, performer and staff w/ Sunshine 2.0 here in #ROC at NTID 🙌

great performances! (folks who didn't watch the [sadly separate] signed stream may not know that the halftime show was signed in Puerto Rican Sign Language by a Puerto Rican deaf interpreter who tours with Bad Bunny!)

That Ring ad

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

Me: Wow, I'm loving this! They have such a beautiful culture... Mom: "They?" We have cousins from that culture! That's our family! Me: 🙄...

We cut cane in Old Florida, too. #heritage

Rip out your Ring doorbell RN, jfc

I THOUGHT SO THEY HAD THAT OMG WE GOT MARRIED SMOOCH

Do you know how many of our families cut sugar cane? For Americans to put in their cakes and tea while our cousins were forced to cultivate cotton and tobacco in their fields? That is the story of so many of our families

Wait a minute. How did I NOT see Cardi, Pedro, and Jessica Alba??!?!?!? I’ll be watching this several more times this week. Also, y’all be sure to check out the ASL version too and give the interpreter some love! Bad Bunny: one of them ones.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Eagle-eyed watchers of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show would have spied Toñita, the queen of Los Sures, AKA Williamsburg. Read all about Maria Antonia “Toñita” Cay here: hellgatenyc.com/williamsburg...

how deep in debt is that boxer? Was the beatdown payoff not plenty?
