Very fond of this Mr Hyde by Grickle, look at that lovely Mr Hyde face

They see other people's 13 year old daughters as fair game. Who was that famous judge in Alabama who went cruising for young girls in the mall?

Now we learn from Reps of both parties who saw the unredacted Epstein files today that Trump, Bondi, & Blanche are covering up the absolute worst things in the Epstein files to protect the wealthy, powerful and politically connected. DOJ is being run by criminal co-conspirators.

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

White supremacists believe that all white people believe what they believe and those who don't say it out loud do so only because they're scared to say what they really think.

yes, a crucial part of the 'performative' is that it produces or materializes real effects + affects

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

It’s crazy to me, how many Americans still think Puerto Rico is a foreign country. And insulting them. Every Puerto Rican is an American citizen. And when any of them move to the mainland, they are able to vote for the president of the United States.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I think car door handles should still work when the car is on fire

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.

Grazie, Italia per manifestare oggi! Sciogliamo l'ICE insieme!

oh dear. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

But civility! /s ffs

This rules. Kick Bovino out of every fucking bar in the country.

While people who would probably qualify as liberals risk their lives in the frozen streets of Minneapolis (and do similar brilliantly organized solidarity work in New Orleans and Chicago and many other cities), not sure what this is supposed to mean.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 5 FEBRUARY 2026 THESE HORRIFIC TIMES Message From Dr Timothy Snyder (On Tryanny) Next Phase - ICE BIG RAMPUP "A Nationwide Network of Vast Detention Facilities. We can all do something in our life to push back against this ! SPEAK UP..PROTEST Make your VOICE HEARD"

Not making light of Nancy Guthrie’s abduction, but has the sheriff’s office ruled out ICE?

raise your hand if you are not, in fact, in the Epstein files

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

this goes so fuckin hard ”A revolution must be started by yourself. An egg, opened from the outside, is food; opened from the inside, it is a new life.“ Ovum exteriore apertum cibus, interiore vita nova. Revolutio exteriore est incursio.

No seriously, who are the writers for this season of life because this is too on the nose!

My apologies to France, I was not familiar with your game.

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

ICE agents think whistles are ablest! Don’t people realize the other side is messes with us and will continue to try and mess with us. The next thing will be something to do with donated food being fed to hiding families something crazy to try and get us to not do the right thing.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated. www.newsweek.com/minneapolis-...

Seeing all the “professional” activists go after Stancil is negatively polarizing me into a stance that Minnesota is winning because it’s normal people rising to the occasion and pushing a lot of activist nonsense out of the way by doing it

Airplanes fly with redundant digital capacity in part because altitude (& thus loss of atmospheric shielding) can bump up neutron background by a factor of 300 which is enough to make single event upsets in digital flight systems a Problem absent Measures. www.lanl.gov/media/public...

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t. Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity. It’s about preparation.

Good night Bluesky. Together is the only way we build liveable todays and tomorrows. We must abolish ICE & et al & destroy fascism. Contact Congress. Monitor, protest & demonstrate. Defend your neighbors & community. Diversity of tactics is necessary.

Down and Out in Paris and Bluesky

CHICAGOANS!!!! Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And “Abolish Ice” is one of the options. You know what to do (vote): chicagoshovels.org

I’m guilty of it myself, but I’m starting to think that maybe comparing Trump admin propaganda to North Korea is unfair to North Korea.

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service. I want more people to make the connections.

Jeffrey Epstein did not stop raping children after his 2008 conviction. Jeffrey Epstein did not stop facilitating the rape of children after his 2008 conviction. He kept doing it. That is the context of people treating him as a normal person after his conviction. /1 www.cnn.com/2020/01/15/u...

Remember to keep the music going even more in these days. Listening to songs that for me through an apocalyptic love

The Judge: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency," the judge wrote. “And the rule of law be damned.”
