Real anarchist shit, Makhno was like a modern-day Robin Hood, he was with a gang that robbed the rich to support anarchy. Starting around 1905, he was hitting up large landowners, businessmen, banks, trains, and local Tsarist police, cuz he saw them as class enemies.

just saw a headline refer to Maduro being "in custody" was the Lindberg Baby 'in custody', were the US Embassy personnel in Iran 'in custody'? I'm going insane!

Try again tomorrow maybe

"On Wednesday, the official social media account for the Department of Homeland Security posted a piece of artwork depicting a pink late-1960s Cadillac Eldorado parked on a bright, idyllic beach. Over the clear blue sky are the words “America after 100 million deportations.” 1/2

The most effective surveillance-evading gear might already be in your closet.

From the surveillance dystopia to tech overlords, here's a 🧵 of stories where we saw our reporting lead to change, thanks to your support. First: A databroker that sold hundreds of millions of your flight records to the government shut down following months-long 404 Media reporting:

2026 Jan 6 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social TransgenderFeed: 10 years ago Ireland passed its groundbreaking Gender Recognition Act which allowed trans ppl 18+ to legally change gender through self-declaration w/o being assessed by cis ppl or have surgery. Up next: under 18s and nonbinary folx.

Sabate had pretty much the most adventurous life I've ever read about, and in a just and fair world, he would be an archetypical hero of movies instead of james bond or whoever.

Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

NYC Wegmans is storing biometric data on shopper's eyes, voices, and faces. People are shopping elsewhere.

Other day I noted thread between 2011's Occupy movements & Mamdani. But as I look on my reporting notes from Sept-Dec of that year, I think there's also a line between (Democratic-led) crackdown & collapse of rule of law of Trumpism. Mix of state anti-media violence + too many media looking away.

be that bitch

"Why are we arresting Maduro and not Netanyahu?" Because Netanyahu works for us, and Maduro didn't. That's really the difference. We are the global hegemon. We aren't the good guys. If Putin gave us oil and tribute, we'd sell him cheap weapons, just like Netanyahu.

Racketeering (RICO) charges against 61 people indicted as co-conspirators in the #StopCopCity movement were dismissed last week, marking a significant victory for those facing prosecution in the years after the movement’s peak. unicornriot.ninja/2025/cop-cit...

A lot of calls for accountability for the people doing this. But also we need accountability for the systems that make it possible. Military spending should be slashed. Overseas bases should be shuttered. There is no good and just way for the US to continue its violent, hegemonic imperialism.

wild to see every news outlet use the term "capture" to describe what happened. we're not at war with venezuela! this is *objectively* an illegal kidnapping of a sovereign country's leader

Amal let me know Naser is out of surgery, and all seems to be okay. However, at the moment she has no shelter to bring him home to. I'm really worried he could end up back in ICU if they cannot afford the warmth and food he needs to recover. www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-gi...

I didn't used to get the flu vaccine because I'm not often around a lot of people and I figured it was just flu. Then I got the flu on my trip to Japan last year and it turned into an ear infection and abject misery. Now I get the vaccine. It's free with my insurance. It would be ridiculous not to.

Times are tough, and some of my paid subscribers have had to cancel lately due to financial hardships. I get it, and I wish for better times for us all. Unfortunately, paid subscriptions are now dipping into unsustainable territory. I am hoping to get eight new paid subscribers before the new year.

The ahistoric forces trying to erase that Biden began the modern unviersity academic freedom purge (regarding Palestine), that Biden dismantled the Covid social safety net (instead of making it a new floor), and that Obama didn’t give us current “Border Czar” Tom Homan are strong.
