I have pants older than DHS, we can just get rid of the entire department and subordinate agencies!

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

Ooookay here we go. Bad Bunny 101 condensed into six weeks of music, reading material, and perreo

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.

When I saw a few mainstream news articles say it “wasn’t political,” I about did a spit-take. Huh? Is that ignorance? Do they only see “politics” when it slots into the storylines their pundits are on deck to blather about? HOW? (Answer: this happens when you fire all your black and brown writers.)

If you are looking at 100 whistles and thinking "I don't know that I could give that many away," one of our group members (who is incredibly involved at all levels) has written a guide for how to use whistles as a catalyst to talk to and organize your neighbors. www.riotgrrrlrevolution.org/help

The NYT fired everyone who knew that sugar cane is kinda important to Puerto Rico. They're dumber than dogshit over there. This is so fucking embarrassing.

I sobbed when I saw the sugar cane field. My grandfather was a sugar cane farmer in Puerto Rico. Incredible to see this. 🇵🇷❤️

Man I love social scientists with strong communication skills. This thread on the extensive symbolism in Bad Bunny’s halftime show is *chef’s kiss* 👇

I feel so seen. My inner self is a visual, word-driven Luddite, completely out of tune with the modern TikTok world, pleading for the written word over video or podcasts. For "the love of Bananarama," and "In Prince's funky name, amen." #GenX #GenZ #80s

Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed A HALF MILLION whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

i heard you were looking for an illustration of Olive Oyl using her nintendo famicom, with the tv-net modem peripheral plugged into it, so she can use "daiwa my trade", and make trades on the japanese stock market, with the help of popeye. well here you go

San Francisco's "March for Billionaires" was today. It was, numbers-wise, a bit of a dud. But not a dull affair: a "We ❤️ you Jeffrey Bezos" sign, at least one polycule, & a participant arguing to "remove" journalists "as a class...just like Germany." missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-m...

To understand the Seattle Freeze, you must understand that anything that appears to be a public gathering is actually a collection of private gatherings that happen to be taking place in the same venue at the same time.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Oh she’s phenomenal. This is Sophia Chang.

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

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

And that’s all I have to say about that

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

And if you need whistles for your knitting circle or your book club or your PTA or your D&D night or your mosque or whatever at all, 100+ are yours, just ask: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

The whistle goblins shipped 100,000 whistles in the first four days of February. And today? The fifth day? 37,000 more. This is perhaps the most inspiring act of collective action I’ve ever been lucky enough to be a part of. Help by buying filament: linktr.ee/WhistleWi…

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

"(This is how men behave.)" This man should never ever be anywhere near students, ever again. In his own words: Zero remorse, and no idea at all WHY what he wrote was so massively creepy, inappropriate, and horrifying. In fact, he doubles down! "Obviously, the first advance was hers" WHAT? 🤬

Their entire position is “you cannot stop me from doing whatever the fuck I want” How do you negotiate with that???? By inventing new rules for them to break and giving them new toys? How stupid does one have to be

Pleased to report that coffee cheesecake turned out to be a damned good idea. Tastes like coffee ice cream.

No particular reason.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

I loved the new Muppet Show special. Went in with low expectations (protect my heart!), but it was just right.

One big difference at COYOTE: We promise that none of our worker-owners will invest millions of dollars into allowing billionaires to continue avoiding paying into CA’s social safety net!

Read this whole astonishing document. it should be taught as an object lesson in what volunteering to assist a fascist government does to your mind, body, and soul.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

This is honestly a hell of a read.

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

Grabbed this info sheet from the library resource desk. The library providing the political education.

Now thinking about this in addition to the comments the men in the Epstein files made about Coates. HOW IN THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO FIGHT AN OPP WHO HAS A BILLION DOLLARS?

so much of the scaffolding of society is about protecting the powerful from consequences & the mediocre from anything like an actual meritocracy (the dipshits always get to define merit, naturally). Anyway! I'm off to go make whistle kits with badasses. Because I'm still here. We're still here.

I hate every single thing about what is in the Epste*n files but it's one of the keys to understanding what so many of us, in so many fields, were up against. Still up against. The dumbest, awful, most craven people got together to defend their little world of mediocrity, bootlicking and abuse.

I have been doing investigative reporting on misconduct for years & it got harder and harder to do over time. Of course I blamed myself to an extent. But yeah, anyway, the plutocratic class & their minions destroyed the media & what remained formed up like Voltron to protect the worst of the worst.

I never regret making time to hear one of Michael Harriot’s stories.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.
