WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.” Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I just discovered that I mentally mashed Stephen Gogolev and Andreas Nordeback into one blond boy who looks nordic and is Canadian.

It is interesting to me how many of the “deprofessionalized” professions on the Dept of Education lists are people in the position to encounter evidence of abuse - especially for children- and are mandated reporters.

hahahahaha I knew it. "I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

ngl if I ever found myself defending the current carceral state [which demonstrably increases crime rates, the opposite of its pretend purpose] as the non-idiot policy answer to the question of crime I would put my head in an oven since it has clearly outlived its usefulness

Paramilitary forces are literally a hallmark of fascism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Remember a couple years ago when a tenured professor in our department FINALLY got the boot after decades of trying to treat his lab as his personal harem?

THIS IS BIG For non-academics who might not understand why: 1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house 2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

It's sad to see nerds piss and bitch over the allegedly new corporatization of something that sold out before their father was born.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

I'm half convinced that Jason Brown is not a human, but an ethereal spirit who was created from music itself.

Fuck. 😢

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.” We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

“One of the things that really gives me joy is the fact that there are so many amazing, brilliant, creative disabled people out there. But part of my rage — and it’s a very real rage — is that most people don’t really know about them.” Obit:

I’m gutted by this decision. So many excellent editors and writers impacted. My column, Disability Visibility is no more as well. Many thanks to Allegra for giving me this amazing opportunity www.teenvogue.com/contributor/...

Somebody said "truck of theseus" and lolololol

This is my assessment as well. They know if they name how horrific the horrors are, they'll be stuck having to push back on whatever the new political status quo is in 2027

speaking of maritime disasters ICE is going to drown a bunch of fishermen here in oregon www.opb.org/article/2025...

I know I'm a day late on this, but: Taschlers at the NHK exhibition! TASCHLERS AT THE NHK EXHIBITION!!! *breathing into paper bag*

Related: I will never get over pundits saying the VP debate was a tie or that Vance won after "the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact-check."

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Modest proposal: in the same way that you should no longer be permitted to deem yourself a feminist if you're racist / gc / right wing, you should no longer be permitted to deem yourself a writer if you use commercial genAI for anything.

"The day NYC elects a Muslim Mayor will be the day I die." --Dick Cheney probably

ALL RIGHT AP JUST CALLED IT WITH 69% OF THE VOTE HA HA HA HA

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

Andrew Cuomo gave more money in taxpayer subsidies to Elon Musk than the entire cost of Zohran Mamdani’s free bus plan. It’s not unreasonable or radical to want our tax dollars to go to programs that help us, instead of as giveaways to billionaires.

Bold of Zohran to murder Dick Cheney as his final campaign stunt

PSA: Satanic Temple is led by a reactionary, borderline-fascist grifter. PLEASE do not amplify the claim that they are magically going to feed a big bunch of the WIC/SNAP folks set to go hungry. At a minimum, that's doing free PR for bad people. And it potentially gives the impacted false hope.

Since we’re talking BUNNICULA I need everyone to know that the audiobook is read by Victor Garber and he truly out-gays himself. Harold and Chester absolutely come across as the fussy middle-aged couple they were obviously meant to be.

He reminds me of friends I had in middle school, which is not a compliment to anyone involved (including myself). I went to middle school in Ohio. He is Ohio’s wet, sticky, rotting heart. The one who’s near future plans depend on the difference in legal consequences for juveniles vs adults.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Remember to mask up, folks.

i think the last good thing to happen was when that olympic pole vaulter hit the bar with his giant cock

Elon just feels this entitlement to be involved in spreading white power in all these governments. It's like you don't even go here! Tried to conquest the US now he hopes to triumph in the UK.

Also I love that these ‘critics’ are essentially saying that they only support histories told from the perspectives of the oppressors and powerful. History will always be a battleground for fascists. Because they know it’s power.

THIS is how you reject a faulty premise. Don’t rush past the facts to argue with a straw man. Remind everyone of the facts first!

A message to the ISU: This is not wrestling. You don't have to prop up heels with bafflingly high scores so the viewing audience sees them as a threat to the faces. In fact, you don't need to have heels AT ALL! But if you insist, at least let Sota hit Daniel with a folding chair on occasion.

Amazon is the employer with the most employees on Medicaid in the state of Nevada. Walmart is second. (Recent national stats broken out by employer are unavailable, prob because employers don’t want us to know the social safety net is a corporate subsidy.) CEOs are the only real welfare queens.

I love Junhwan Cha as a skater, but why the utterly cursed music this season?

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

I've been harping on using FSA funds because workers lose $4 BILLION in unspent funds each year. I don't think many people even know about the FSA store as just one example of a simpler way to spend some of that money. Use it for others if you don't need it yourself. money.com/unspent-fsa-...

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

AP has the better headline. Since most readers don’t get beyond the headlines (especially on social media), they highlight the cause of the starvation upfront: the Trump regime.

It’s OUR money, not theirs. We need our military cowardly leaders to do the jobs they swore an oath to do: Protect us from domestic enemies.
