Olympics opening ceremonies are honestly some of the most bonkers things that humans do together. Just bonkers. I love it.

Didn’t hear enough booing of Vance there. Deeply disappointing.

What if the Seahawks are really a million geoducks in a trench coat?

Leeds has an official Bluesky account, but not Forest. Get your shit together, lads. #nffc

We'll remember who led this shit. We'll remember who cheered for this shit. We'll remember who expressed concern but went along with this shit. And we'll remember who twiddled their thumbs during this shit.

This Day in Labor History: February 6, 1919. The Seattle General Strike began. Let's talk about this much mentioned but little understood event. Let's also talk about general strikes a bit, which are very misunderstood, even by activists, and why we don't have them today in their classic form.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Despite wide public support for the Millionaire's Tax, 30k people have signed CON on this legislation getting its first hearing this Friday, outnumbering those in the PRO column four to one. It's really easy to sign PRO - do it now!

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.

Seattle City Hall right now, where students from around the city have gathered after a mass walk-out to protest ICE:

I'm here for the Cristian Roldan praise "This was a coach who has worked with Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, all world-class stars, yet Roldan was the one being described as perfect." www.goal.com/en-us/lists/...

🇨🇳 China has rejected calls to enter talks on a new nuclear treaty after a US-Russian agreement expired on Thursday, ending decades of restrictions on how many warheads the two powers can deploy. ➡️ u.afp.com/S2eK

Oh look, exactly what we said was going to happen when Schumer caved on the shutdown

Schumer and Jeffries cannot be relied on to resist ICE. Simple as that.

Breaking Reuters: A team working for Tulsi Gabbard last spring led an investigation into Puerto Rico's voting machines. The goal was to work with the FBI to investigate claims that Venezuela had hacked voting machines in Puerto Rico. The probe did not produce any clear evidence of interference.

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary. It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Billionaires are national security risks.

Billionaires are thieves by definition.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Really, Morgan? Ew. 😩 #nffc

Mina getting a Hollywood handshake on a MATCHA BAKE is generational stuff.

Jeffery Bezos destroyed the *sports desk* of a major newspaper I do not want that man anywhere within a 10 mile radius of the VMAC.

Suburban observers say ICE has only been more aggressive since Homan: “I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us. We’re so organized and we act with such integrity. They don’t want to admit they feel threatened by us.” share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...

Sorry, she needs to save her money to buy the Seahawks before Jeff gets his little hands on them. Priorities.

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

HERE WE FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOO do it Leo. do it. you want to. you can. these guys were excommunicated in 1988 for doing this and they just did it again. you have the opportunity to do the coolest and funniest thing in the world

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

1/ This is straight up defamation of vote-by-mail. He’s talking about CA, where over 80% of ballots in the 2024 general were mail-in. And as we know from WA, late ballots represent a very different universe of voters than the early ballots in tallied on election night… and they tend to lean left. …

This. So much this. Don’t serve them. Don’t date them. Don’t treat them like human beings. Make them pariahs. Break their morale. Make them do the “sad Charlie Brown” walk out of every store they go into.

Money that we, the people, worked for.

Sick of this dystopian tech overlord men with no panache and bad haircuts enabling a pants shitting president and bald hitler wannabe trying to undo things that can’t be undone ass reality we are living. They are so tedious and venal. It’s galling.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?
