The White House posting a fake AI video of a gold medal athlete would be an insane scandal in the old times. www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

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?

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Netflix won't counter Ellison's offer. Ladies and gentleman, the full right wing power grab is here and will now be beamed into every home on CBS, CNN, HBO, movies from Warner and Paramount. about.netflix.com/en/news/netf...

It's time we stopped Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

He's right. And here's what else you should know about the Wall Street takeover of the housing market. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9TO...

Good morning

5 members of a CPD tactical team have been stripped of their badges ands gun after the agency tasked with investigating misconduct identified a troubling pattern of undocumented and unprofessional traffic stops of Black Chicagoans. @wttw.bsky.social

keyword "surreal" in photos. a few of my favorites from what was included.

Her performance at the Olympics was a culmination and a celebration and a reminder that, as poet Toi Derricotte once wrote, "joy is an act of resistance."

Glad to see some Americans are able to see how gross the patriotism looks when you have a fascist regime in office kidnapping and murdering citizens on the street, actively destroying any semblance of democracy and attacking international allies.

Magical realism only not.

Cap'n Crunch. Would eat it until I bleed out through the roof of my mouth.

Bluesky has the juice

my new favorite picture of 2026 just dropped.

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

This may end up being a massive own goal for the Trump administration.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

The people of Minnesota are heroes.

If you’re having a shitty day — and who isn’t? — this is a little ray of sunshine.

There are reports of red-winged blackbirds arriving in the Chicago area.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

The American Medical Association is launching an effort to evaluate vaccine safety and effectiveness independently of U.S. government health agencies

She spent the whole morning performatively screaming at Congressmen, but this image of Bondi saying nothing and refusing to turn around will be the only real takeaway from her testimony today.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Petty & mean are the point. Like removing the rainbow crosswalk at Pulse & removing Harvey Milk’s name from the navy ship. What these bullies forget is LGBTQ people have been bullied forever & we learned how to fight back. We fought back hard at Stonewall & we’ll do it again.

If you're not feeling a little exhausted & occasionally overwhelmed, then you'e probably not paying attention. This is the regime's playbook--to overload the country w/ its onslaught of horrors, making it impossible to confront it all, aiming to exhaust us & break our resolve. They won't succeed.

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."

Rep. Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States, and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.”

Bad Bunny was fun and righteous and I genuinely loved the Lady Gaga interlude. Super Bowl was all D and two not so MVP QBs—but enjoyed the hell out of of Kenneth Walkers run game! Ads were meh, with nothing really standing out other than embarrassing bad crypto groaners.

NEW: The Institute of Museum and Library Services is now accepting applications for its 2026 grant cycle. But this time, it has unusually specific criteria: It “particularly welcomes” projects that align with President Donald Trump’s vision for America.

“It can feel very lonely sometimes here in Texas,” Wilson-Youngblood said, but learning that large numbers of other Texans share a distaste for Moms for Liberty’s book-banning agenda has been “emboldening” people and driving them to get organized and vote. www.salon.com/2026/02/06/s...

sycophant, lackey, bootlicker, doormat.

Kind of obsessed with my 11-year-old's drawing of a black hole barfing out a rainbow and creating the earth.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

Elections have consequences: Virginia's new Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger, put an end to the state’s partnerships with this ICE program on Wednesday, fulfilling a campaign promise to roll back collaboration. boltsmag.org/virginia-spa...

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I know we’ve gotten used to it, but this type of behavior is disgusting and people should speak up about it

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Forever a stain on our country, this child and others held in detainment. To what end other than cruelty, bigotry, the curdled fascist ideology of MAGA? Kudos to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and all people of conscience doing the hard, necessary work of resisting & protecting the most vulnerable.
