For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

This is bad analysis and a terrible idea

NEWS: Congress has repealed a D.C. tax bill, potentially throwing tax-filing season into total chaos for residents and businesses. City officials could fight it, but it's unclear if they will. For @51st.news: 51st.news/republicans-...

Found one of the folks involved with the CWA and unionizing of Sherri’s Ranch. The demand that they own the workers IP is insane. We saw this over the summer in LA landlords saying they own all content made in an apartment. This is that but escalated All power to the workers including SEX WORKERS

Congressional Republicans are going to deprive D.C. of $700 million in revenue and repeal a local program projected to reduce child poverty by 20 percent, solely to spite District residents and make us suffer. They’re also throwing our tax filing into utter chaos. This is a disaster.

🌟 Sex workers at Sheri’s Ranch, a legal brothel in Pahrump, Nevada, are unionizing with the Communications Workers of America @cwaunion.bsky.social Last week, management fired several pro-union workers—including the union’s primary organizer, Jupiter Jetson thenevadaindependent.com/article/sex-...

Once again, if anyone knows of any remote full-time, part-time, or freelance jobs, I would be extremely grateful. I have nearly two decades of writing and editing experience, focused SEO experience, and a decade of teaching experience.

This is a pogrom

I watched the whole thing because it's astonishing

This thing 🫴

Hey fun fact my husband posted this how to flyer to Reddit, he's a dreamboat and I love him and ALSO HE'S RIGHT FUCK THIS SHIT RETURN YOUR RING CAMERA Stick it to ICE and Amazon at the same time 🥰💛

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Dear God.

it would be the stuff of legend and would be so easy to

They’re covering it. I’m here to talk to anyone reporting about his giving history and what working for him was like. www.politico.com/live-updates... I want every Democrat who took his money to donate to survivors and to publicly renounce him. He’s a mean, mean person.

no eviction moratorium? thats truly fucked

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

jeeeeeeesus: theintercept.com/2026/02/10/g...

This would be very personally meaningful to me. The people in question are desperate and lonely and scared and I want them to feel cared for and worthy of the love and kindness I know Minneapolis is full of.

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments. For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.

youtu.be/SG_IMgLVGw0?... this song is such an earworm for me

it's a paniCAN not paniCANT

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

My favorite part of the Super Bowl halftime show is how afterwards, everyone in the world can suddenly do textual analysis See! You can do it!

Public comments needed! The admin wants to define grad programs in many "helping" fields (social work, nursing, teaching, etc) to no longer be "professional" degrees. This would mean major student loan restrictions: only $20,500/year. Tuition alone is often more. Please comment by March 2!

hey pittsburgh—if you're not already involved, i suggest joining up with Frontline Dignity. they're an organization that's working to monitor ICE activity in and around pgh. we're hearing that there's been credible reports of ICE increasing activity here over the next 2 weeks...here's how to report!

This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

Substack executives gave Tracey a big fat cash advance back in 2020, which told me everything I needed to know about them (long before the fracas over them coddling white supremacists for money)

As @andreapitzer.bsky.social has said, the correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards Trump’s concentration camps don’t need “reforms”—they need to be shut down

My theory that AI maximalists don’t know how to use a computer remains undefeated so far

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

Also, data breach. That happened in October 2025 and they didn't know about until this month.

Happy Superb Owl day to all who celebrate.

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."
