Please call Hochul, thank her for these words, and tell her to back them up with ACTION by supporting and signing New York 4 All, a bill that would prevent local and state agencies from collaborating with ICE. Call her at 518-474-8390 today!

Germany's paper of record (not exactly a paragon of progressiveness) comes out in favor of boycotting the World Cup.

These assholes menacing people with their army truck. What fucking losers.

NYC Sunday Jan 25, 2026: Tacos, anyone? #InnerCityPressDowntownNewsService

Watching “For All Mankind,” and every time they mention “The Red Planet” it feels a little racist.

#FT8 is the amateur radio version of collecting of baseball cards. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s hard out there for a sociopath.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Begun the snowstorm has.

Free people frighten and confuse them

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Rage.

Look at how expensive the groceries are in this video! @schumer.senate.gov

Good morning team. Where is Liam Rojas?

Vote out ALL the Republicans! Where is Liam Rojas?

I actually think my katamari is the perfect size, so shut up, King.

You’d think a monster with his kind of money would be able to afford a human suit that doesn’t bruise so easily.

Sometime during the first Trump regime, Driftglass discussed the Star Trek line, “It's not you I hate, Cardassian, I hate what I became because of you,” on the podcast. I now think about that line every day. These fucking people tear me apart. @driftglass.bsky.social @proleftpodcast.bsky.social

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

My list of backyard insects has grown to 412 species as of this afternoon. I'm actually kind of amazed, especially knowing that there are likely at least a hundred more I haven't encountered yet!

The thing that gives me the most hope right now is that, in making these linkages explicit, the Trump administration is kindling a dormant radicalism in the American people to lift the flame of Abolition and Reconstruction once again and raise their voices to the tune of "John Brown's Body"

The pictures of his hand buboes are grossing me out. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Europe, if you’re listening, release all *your* Epstein files. We know you have them.

Reported "suicide" at ICE facility in El Paso was actually homicide, per medical examiner. (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...

A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.

I will not be attending Davos this year because I would rather jump into a pool of bubbling lava than attend Davos.

Coward

Reagan invented this.

Our shitty press, still trying to tell us we’re overreacting.

I can't repeat this enough.

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

It’s a bummer that there’s no left-wing rich dudes who are like, “They say we’re doing this anyway, so fuck it—from now on, we will send a $100 check to anyone who attends a protest against the Trump regime.”

The word “fraudster” bugs me. Its “-ster” ending feels like a charming diminutive, making the word confer a sense of “lovable scamp” to my ears. I blame the SNL Copier Guy sketch for this. “Donald! The fraudster! Makin’ copies! The rapester!”

“Mad King” is way too charming and cute a term for this imbecile sociopath.

Somber reminiscences to all who still mark the day when heroic British wizards launched Operation Spatchcock to capture the Black Library from the Nazis at Ettersburg.

An AI television remote that “learns” my preference for muting and skipping all advertisements.

So as the number one American fan of Taskmaster (I will fight you), I've spent a lot of time thinking about who would be my dream host of a U.S. version of the show. Despite successful spinoffs in Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, and other countries (yes, I've seen them all) . . .

I want Nick Offerman to use his connections to make an Aubrey/Maturin series for TV (or big screen) happen. Alternatively, a shipboard-based sitcom set during boring-ass Napoleonic blockade duty could be hilarious (and would be easier to write as a non-sausage-fest series).

Schoolyard diplomacy by stupid thugs. It’s absolutely humiliating to all of us that we chose these people as our leaders.

Hoping someone in the press is working on an article about the sick “challenge coins” and other trinkets the regime (DHS, DOD) is handing out to the thugs. Do they get extra-special collectible ones for hospitalizing their victims? Murdering them?

I think one Trump baby (the sitting President) is enough.

Instead of a State of the Union rebuttal, Democrats this year should respond with a series of interview clips featuring victims of this administration.
