Only took a few days to go from invincible fascist dictatorship to "I was just following orders"

never been a better moment to go after qualified immunity for EVERYONE, not just ICE. Pressley never misses

finally a good dating app

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

HELL YES FUCK UP OUR TECH COMPANIES MONEY TALKS

It's always the one you most suspect.

James O’Keefe responds to a comment “Figured they (ICE protesters) were being paid…” O’Keefe: “No, it's more terrifying than that. It's not transactional. They actually believe in their cause. That truth is going to be hard for most people to understand or accept.”

"DHS killing spree"

i hear theyre calling it the siege of stancilgrad

Mr. Rogers would be proud. "Look for the helpers" was advice for children. For adults, you're supposed to BE the helpers, and love thy neighbor.

If I see you use this word, I'll block you. If you use it "satirically" I'll block you. Using it at all today is a really fine test of character. I've had some of my books edited because I used it twenty years ago and I'm ashamed today of having used it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

"My aims are hampered by human rights laws" is certainly something.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

Until he's gone. Until Stephen Miller is gone. Until Kristi Noem is gone. Until many, many people are in prison. It's not over. But today was a step in the right direction. We can win this fight. And every victory is worth enjoying.

Im not sure where this came from. Someone sent it to me. It sure did make me smile, though.

Love me some Jesse Welles.

How many years have we been watching gun nuts open carry semiautomatic rifles into, like, a Dunkin' Donuts as a statement against government control? And they're now silent over a citizen being murdered by federal agents and then blamed for legally carrying a firearm?

woke is so back we’ve got Kanye and Fetterman cynically attempting to act like human beings again

Wow, even Fetterman.

Reports are saying that you could see his little legs a-kicking as he disappeared over the horizon.

Good news! South Beach Tow is hiring.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

The Trump administration is so bad at this. Even the most authoritarian Roman emperor would've recognized when the public was turning against them and crucified those ICE murderers already.

“In such condition there is no place for industry... no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” ― Thomas Hobbes

it is probably because they are responding to their earlier errors by taking positive action now, which helps defend their neighbors, rather than by retroactive reputation management in the Atlantic, which does not

Because people who are changing their opinions *now* have miscalibrated the positioning of their red lines horribly, and were perfectly fine with the mistreatment of a whole lot of people before now, and will quite likely revert as soon as this present pressure has passed.

I’ve been discovering more and more of Bill Mauldin’s post-Willie & Joe material and it’s stunningly prophetic—this pair haunts me in light of the shootings AND J6

What the Berries And Cream Lad looks like today will SHOCK you

one of the gofundme campaigns sent to me today is only trying to raise $1,600 and has a horrific story of an experience of a Hmong elder. they've only raised $10.

Also a good learning experience for the "I call it sportsball" folks that sportsball pays for the rest of the paper you love so much

Hello I’m the ubermensch, my one weakness is whistles

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

i think we are seeing kinzinger hit on this point again and again because it is resonating with veterans and 2A activists (not the same as the lobby orgs) on both sides of the aisle. he has a better read on this pulse than most elected dems

Star Trek fans saved my life when I had literally no idea why I felt so fucking different. Shout out to the 40-50 year old Klingon RP group that let me chill out with them every year on the third floor of the Hyatt.

SAURON: build me an army worthy of mordor SARUMAN: so a buncha big beefcakes SAURON: well no that’s not wh SARUMAN: drop everything, boys! we’re buildin beefcakes! SAURON: SARUMAN: massive damp guys comin right up! beefy dudes!

Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)

there's so many of these

The idea that the British Raj respected the rule of law is legitimately one of the funniest things I've ever read in my entire life

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

"how's your non violence working Mr Gandhi?" "pretty good, we got the country back and exported the concept to about 150 other freedom movements"

the fact that the NRA is offering even this incredibly mild level of resistance is significant. People do not like what they are seeing.

Have never been to Minnesota in my life but I grew up with MST3K playing on a loop on my computer and that does a weird thing to your brain where you’re like “why do I know what Menards is?”

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
