My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I'm boosting myself to say this: You're going to see people On Here tell you calling electeds doesn't matter. That's not true. Some are bots. Some are people who like being contrary to be edgy. But calling moves the needle, especially against a blatantly illegal act by Trump and Co. ACT.

As long as they’re rounding up criminal presidents, could someone come and take ours?

mexico is one of our two largest trading partners, a democracy with 130 million people, where the president won 61% of the vote in the last election. trump is literally threatening a decapitation strike against her. this is utter insanity, it's like saying we're going to airstrike Keir Starmer

So we just murdered another 40 Venezuelans for a total of at least 140 or so.

absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview: "If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

(This is from more than a month ago, not “just.”)

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Well said.

now this is posting

That’s Somali with a hard R.

Operation Enduring Manhood Pt. II -- This Time, It's Manlier.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

What in the Oregon Trail is that photo? Is CBS dying of dysentery?

“In conclusion, CBS is a land of contrasts.” This whole thing reads like a half-assed class project some fifth graders rushed through before Christmas break.

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

I just want one pic of me in 2026 that’s half as flattering as this.

As is made clear later in the thread, the screenshot isn't even an official apology from X, it's just the result of someone asking Grok to apologize. How many different ways does that website need to be a steaming cauldron of rancid offal before people who ought to know better finally leave it?

I got off Twitter pretty soon after Musk started making big changes but it was tough for me and for a time I understood people continuing to post over there. But it’s continued to get worse, the algos have become blatantly skewed and for a while decent people staying has been incomprehensible to me.

“I have to tell you that the career prospects for sociologists are not good. It would be highly misleading to gloss over this fact. And far from improving, as might have been expected, these prospects have actually got worse.” – Theodor Adorno, 'Introduction to Sociology' (1968 Lectures)

If I hear one more person talking about "gut health" I'm going to negatively impact theirs with my foot.

@cindynorth1.bsky.social Happy New Year!!!

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Metropolis (1927) is set in 2026.

I fucking knew it. They built the site on revenue from scammers, why would they ever stop?

Local man who says “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart” also makes national recommendations on appropriate Tylenol usage and child vaccination schedule.

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

I wish you all courage in the new year. Courage above all else. And revenge.

May 2026 bring ICE agents everything they deserve and more

It’s not even “are these people racist?” It’s “do these people have any beliefs at all besides white supremacy?”

I’m just learning about this (thanks @questauthority.bsky.social ), let’s help Lane out to start the new year so that he doesn’t have to worry about these bills

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

WE NEED SOME ORCAS We're holding out for some orcas till the end of the night They gotta be strong and they gotta be fast And they gotta be smooth black and white

We’re sleepwalking into a disaster

millions out the door for DHS/ICE - planes, cars - trips for Patel to see his girlfriend... nothing but corrupt waste/fraud/abuse but child care - oh no way; better freeze/pounce on that 'when someone or a regime show you who they are - believe them' 👿👿

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

For my friends easy visas despite distributing Russian propaganda; for my enemies, immigration law.

idk i'm not a lawyer but i feel like shutting down an entire state's childcare payment federal dollars because a 23yo posted a tiktok feels like a certain lack of seriousness or due process

Chief Justice Aileen Cannon has betrayed at the legacy of John Roberts. by David Brooks, 2031

This perfect good boy just got admitted to the ER overnight so if anyone feels like buying digital albums on Bandcamp this is a great time to do it.

Trump’s Dept. of Justice lied. Again. He is a convicted criminal abusing the powers of the DOJ to victimize anyone in his sights. A mob boss has been given all the powers of the U.S. government. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/n...

*taps my book wild faith* as noted in literally the first chapter, the Satanic Panic never ended, it just took a nap for awhile this shit about daycares is literally just the 1980s warmed over. can we bring back cool hair instead of christian vigilantism www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

When people informed her of that fact she went "oh uhhh I meant her parents"

Sorry about that, lawyers. All that stuff you learned in law school doesn't matter anymore. Unlike doctors. All the stuff we learned in med school and thought we'd never have to actually know about is now becoming very critical again (measles, diphtheria, pertussis)
