The exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park have been removed amid pressure from the Trump admin www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

off the charts disgust and disappointment. *buried the needle*

This is one of the go-to examples, but I've been watching random Mr. Rogers clips and his basic premise of "children are people" is an overt political stance.

"Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity." www.media.mit.edu/publications...

On December 7, at least eight jail guards killed Shacoby Kenny, a 32-year-old man held pretrial on $2,500 bail right here in Boston's South Bay jail, in nearly the exact same way -- in a violent group assault, held down, choked to death. Still no ME report. COs haven't even been suspended. #bospoli

I don't know how to process living in an occupied city, where the occupiers are in theory my government, so there can be no hope of rescue from my government. Seeing a friend at fencing practice as he's on the phone alerting his neighbors to an ICE car making the rounds was the one today.

Codify Bivens, make it retroactive, then sue these fascists to hell

Belarus has arrested several HAM radio hobbyists and is threatening them with the death penalty, extremely wild situation: www.404media.co/ham-radio-op...

state-sponsored child trafficking

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

I don't see body cameras solving this

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

They are spraying poison directly into his eyeballs in front of dozens of cameras. Many of the cameras are theirs.

If there is no law that can bring accountability to this, then what the fuck?

This person being permanently blinded is already subdued by 3 people who will never be prosecuted, because Nazis have taken over the entire government.

Spraying pepper spray directly into the eyes of a detained person who’s already fully subdued

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

i’m going to say this every time but these are just normal ass neighborhoods where normal ass families live and they are treating them like goddamn war zones filled with enemy combatants

Tapping the sign

This is exactly right

It's like interviewing the borg

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

"DOGE employees had secret agreement w/ unidentified political advocacy group to use SocSec data to help overturn election results"

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

Writing is thinking Outsourcing the entire task of writing to LLMs will deprive us of the essential creative task of interpreting our findings and generating a deeper theoretical understanding of the world.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

I think about this a lot: the fact that it's "inconceivable" is a HUGE part of the problem. Hey folks: conceive of it. That's the necessary first step. This fascism is in fact happening, and the whole "I can't imagine" part is stopping a lot of progress in overcoming it.

i'm going to spend the rest of my life figuring out how a small band of elites decided that acting as the global currency and primary military hegemon was gay and feminine coded

They actually got some reasonable concessions in the minibus. I do wonder if Trump blows it up.

also when mamdani says affordability he means "your bus should be free and your rent shouldn't be allowed to go up" and when schumer says affordability he means "there should be a means tested tax credit you can get by mailing in the upcs from your cereal boxes"

I think there is some information in there that isn't familiar to a lot of people. Including that the US is currently holding three times as many people in immigration detention as were detained in the entire Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich.

"The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards." is a line that is both timeless and nails the predicament of the crisis we face in this precise moment.

X’s terms of service are extremely restrictive and allow them to sue users for practically any reason And they mandate that any case go through the East Texas court which Musk essentially owns It’s now LEGALLY RISKY to be posting on X because they can sue you and have an almost guaranteed win

Let's have a Carrington Event tonight too, why not?

"Who is more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?"

Every year it’s worth sharing the @democracynow.org MLK day special…so I do! youtu.be/BCm31YLLDSo?...

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

we're at the shale oil stage of new Star Trek content. new techniques have allowed us to create once unthinkable abundance, but at what cost?

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

it's a broken rock, joined in the middle with fresh concrete, with "1620" carved in it in crisp Times New Roman

i'm not everyone, but there's no stranger i love more than steven wright www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8IF...

Of course, this artist is from Philadelphia, earth's greatest city

I love this poster A LOT
