So some jerk called the police, who just beat up a disabled Rohingya refugee instead of trying to communicate with him and then charged *him*. He probably thought he was getting jumped since he couldn’t see or understand the cops. He survived a genocide and ending up getting murdered by CBP.

We are living through a period where we have mass government layoffs literally causing countless deaths while at the same time DHS has so much money that Noem will have a different luxury jet for every day of the week

Pelgrane Press' new upcoming RPG #rpg #ttrpg #writing

Pitch: An inverse shadow over insmouth where the protagonists are the wait fuck this is just @opensketchbook.bsky.social's book www.drivethrufiction.com/en/product/2...

Wow! Weird how this KEEPS HAPPENING with Jesse Singal! It's almost like he has some kind of agenda or bias. Isn't it interesting that a perception or assumption of a pro-trans bias disqualifies you from writing about trans health, but an anti-trans bias doesn't?

Cuomo's most recent post for those curious

just something to think about when people push the little toad Newsom. the little toads aren't able to stand up to the right because they agree with them. what you need is a Hot Leftist

the entire pitch of Cuomo was that sure he's a loathsome sex pest but he has what it takes to stand up to Trump, and then the hot leftist starts every phone call with "what's up big dog" and gets Trump to do whatever he wants.

Detainees told @propublica.org that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls. www.propublica.org/article/dill...

characteristically good work from Serwer. again saying: we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

Seems ill-advised due to the shortage of minds at the event

Just a reminder that this happened two days ago. David Ellison is the nepo baby who runs Paramount/Skydance and brought on Bari Weiss to destroy CBS News. He will now run Warner Bros and CNN after the likely merger.

Minnesota’s status as a blue state is linked with the removal of residents: Federal Agent in Coon Rapids: ‘The more people that you lose in Minnesota, you then lose a voting right to stay blue.’ [Feb. 6, 2026] unicornriot.ninja/2026/federal...

For context, the Dems who have the most yea votes for Trump nominees: 1) Jeanne Shaheen (NH): 53 2) Maggie Hassan (NH): 46 3) John Fetterman (PA): 45 4) Tim Kaine (VA): 39 5) Mark Kelly (AZ): 35 6t) Jacky Rosen (NV): 33 6t) Mark Warner (VA): 33 8t) Ruben Gallego (AZ): 31 8t) Amy Klobuchar (MN): 31

Literally the only answer is that they want to support Trump's agenda without getting too much blowback.

These Democrats are voting for Trump's agenda while going on TV to insist they actually oppose it. We need to believe their actions, not their words.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

matt thinks a jobs program for people released from prison is some kind of newfangled woke non profit thing. the guy simply does not follow policy and isn't interested in doing so.

A person’s info environment unavoidably influences which topics they think about, who they choose to engage, and their sense of what matters to other people. Propaganda, like a lot of advertising, relies on repetition. Often what’s most impactful isn’t the overt stuff, but the background noise.

The biggest effect I see from people still spending time on X—which many deny or don't even notice—is how it shifts their perception of what's normal. Such as: Actively anti-trans is speaking like a normal person Objecting to Nazi symbols turns off the working class Epstein knew a bunch of Jews etc

Over at the newsletter I wrote about how the right wing, corporate U.S. press is utterly dedicated to derailing AOC's pursuit of higher office:

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

It's 2026. The only reason to shout "That's so gay!" is if you see something gay on TV or in a game or whatever, and you're delighted by it.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

sociopathic

The bar should be I felt like it.

The most telling thing here is how this could equally be Labour or Reform.

No I think that one is pretty macro www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/s...

"If you piss people off, they will criticize you" is the kind of insight you only glean from writing for more than a decade

Isn’t Labour breaking electoral law by doing this?

Markings on Stone Age mammoth tusks may be a form of proto-writing, predating Sumerian cuneiform by 40,000 years

donald trump and his cabinet are using the power of the government to cover up allegations he raped a child

TRUMP CLAIMS: “This is the golden age of America.” FACT CHECK: As of publication, this is unfortunately untrue, as Donald Trump is still alive. @mcsweeneys.net for the win

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

A month ago I saw a Guardian article reporting that Amazon drivers are tracked by AI cameras and aren’t allowed to sing or look certain directions, so I asked my next door neighbor who drives for Amazon about it. She said that she got flagged by the AI for sneezing and for checking the speedometer

This is one of the the articles that will be printed out and displayed in a museum next to the room with the pile of shoes

“Bills introduced in recent weeks in the legislatures of at least four Democratic-led states would impose long-term consequences on new ICE employees by rendering them ineligible for jobs in law enforcement, public education, and, in their most expansive form, the entire state civil service.”

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

Behind the preserved historical facades, the ultra-rich are buying up adjacent townhomes in the West Village and Upper East Side, combining them into a megamansion. It's part of a broader trend of small multifamily buildings being turned into single-family homes. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.
