lotta Dems should be taking notes from Van Hollen on how to respond to the moment we're in

NEW: Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

BREAKING: New York AG shuts down pro-Israel extremist group Betar US for biased harassment and threats of violence toward Arabs, Muslims and Jews. Letitia James said Betar U.S. would be forced to close its New York operations in a settlement announcement. theintercept.com/2026/01/13/b...

Yeah the whole ‘nothing could be done’ bit while other people seem to figure it out is just the usual American refrain. That’s the excuse parties use to prevent us from having healthcare that everyone else has or less gun deaths like everyone else. Nothing can be done. Shoulda voted better.

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

masculinity is when san serif font and failing minimalism

Pundits who style themselves as moderate or centrists have long wanted to make a deal whereby trans people are sacrificed to the right, but the status quo otherwise remains largely the same. Conservatives, including John Roberts, have never demonstrated any interest in this deal.

Anyone who ever took the idea of "post-feminism" seriously owes every woman on the planet an apology. Start with me.

Lmfao men are such fucking losers 💀💀💀

It had the Alliance Defending Freedom, though. Mike Johnson worked there as a spokesperson

Juno's about to drop both: 1) An article about terrible things our country has done(slavery -> prisons) 2) An awesome profile and INTERVIEW(!) with the cool as hell banjo player Evil Vampire Woman! Throw some cash her way and get ready for Thursday! venmo.com/u/junostump ko-fi.com/junostump

Friends, this is Third Way. This is what they exist to do.

one of the most clarifying moments re: everything but also in book research was reading what Black radicals in the early 1930s had to say about Nazi Germany watching it unfold—with the Jim Crow parallels made in their work in real-time

ICE must be stopped Border Patrol must be stopped the ethnic cleansing must be stopped and the roots that grew the tree of genocide must be uprooted and burned Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

"ICE just needs more training" is the Democrats preparing in advance to put more immigrants into concentration camps when they take power Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

"After a White Town Rejected a Data Center, Developers Targeted a Black Area"

The US Supreme Court is illegitimate. Yet folks just keep on covering them as if this wasn't already the case. None of its opinions are legitimate even when they uphold existing law.

I’m fucking crying

Third Way, to date, has failed to be correct about anything. Here’s Third Way’s alarmist rhetoric about Mamdani, from back in June.

Everytime I see the TailsHaus, i think of Scott Adams and it makes me trust Miles a little less.

It's a stressful day with trans sports bans at the Supreme Court, but we have counterprogramming in the form of a lovely story about trans people playing games with little painted figurines. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I went to go see what cancer dilbert guy had, and unsurprisingly found the classic "oh no my ivermectin and fendendazole antiparasitics did nothing to stop the prostate cancer I had!". What I wasn't expecting was this entry below that:

one of scott adams best posts

There was no universal barter stage of the economy. What you’re thinking about wasn’t real in any meaningful way for much of society

It’s amazing how many grown adults think capitalism is some kind of innate natural thing humans do and have always done or just simple trade and bartering but with more tools

dilbert is an advertisement for, and a cautionary tale about, the power of high-paying white-collar programming gigs to offer permanent arrested development to houseproud, undersocialized 20-somethings

4/4

U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

Williams: "in terms of passing over from boy to girl, you can go one way and not the other." Again, WHAT? I mean, this whole hearing has made it so obvious that the people arguing against trans rights LITERALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND TRANSGENDER. Like, they all watched a Wayans brothers movie and stopped

I'm not the monster hiding under your bed I'm worse ❤️

I was put on this earth to love women and destroy patriarchy AND I'M VERY HAPPILY PARTNERED Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alito asks if people who want to ban trans atheltes are bigots. Hartnett says that "animus" isn't involved here. I'll say it: They're bigots. The statute is based on bigoted animus. These people fucking suck and should be shamed into submission.

Gorsuch asks why Hartnett isn't arguing trans people as a distinct and suspect class. She can't say "BECAUSE YOU FUCKING BIGOTS DON'T ALWAYS AGREE THAT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST."

B/T/L is out this month. Really soon.

We live in a century that allowed two fictional characters, Sol Badguy and Saul Goodman, to coexist. That's kinda amazing.

I want to acknowledge how much my feminism, and indeed a lot of the feminism we take for granted, is indebted to Barbara Smith. The Smith Caring Circle was established in 2017 to enable her to retire with dignity and safety: www.patreon.com/smithcaringc... Please consider supporting.

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me. Like, really got away from me. It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

He really is like if a guy learned how to be a New Yorker entirely from film and television

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents. Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents. We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

Highlights from this crazy story we just put out- - One of the incarcerated women has a lawyer who has spent his time misgendering his client to random social media users. - The government's case relies on an "antifa expert" who recently suggested support for drone striking weed smokers in the US.

coming across social media profiles that are like, “I’m just a crossdressing guy! no more than that!” and 90% of their pictures are of them in girl mode, even just while hanging out with friends, and in their guy mode pics they look super depressed and it’s like, babe, I just want to talk okay

They don't even have to have the full gender conversation just like. Get them on HRT as a regret-preventing measure

Nazis

Props to Will on this

Thrift Store. Clinic. Roller Rink. Center Becomes ‘Radical’ Lifeline Amid Homelessness, Drug Crises. (in New Orleans) The space is part free thrift store, part over-the-counter pharmacy, part punk show venue — and wholly “a radical community center,” said Dan Bingler, who runs the place.

It is deeply telling when a progressive voice with a massive platform cannot handle critique from someone to their left while still maintaining open dialogue with those to their right. This tells you both a lot about someone’s class interests & their political loyalties when under stress.

The pathway to fundamental reforms is reforms that don’t work and actually make things worse. Thank you for your attention to this matter
