This is the first time Kalshi has publicly revealed the results of an investigation into insider trading on its website.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

They really don’t want folks using the term “mass surveillance.” 🤷🏿‍♂️

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

How could this have happened 🙄

I can’t believe this is real

"Today, the Brazilian Supreme Court announced that they had convicted the masterminds behind the assassination of socialist Rio de Janeiro City Councilwoman Marielle Franco guilty on all counts." massive news in Brazil today, writeup by @mikeelk.bsky.social paydayreport.com/rio-police-c...

shame is back on the menu boys

“the president’s speech is going to be over two hours long!” they’re doing kalshi shit guys. they’re leaking a bunch of stuff about a super long speech and he’ll go about 2 minutes short of the supposed mark and everyone in the white house will make $200k on it

Every union should be discussing this www.alaa.org/media-releas...

When you ride the bus now, it’s full of old people listening to AI generated sermons and playing slot machine apps, all at full volume. What a cool future we live in.

The Supreme Court:

“The fact that Meta’s legal team appears to have come to this hearing in a trial over the dangers their systems cause equipped with invasive glasses that put jurors and others in the courtroom at risk is a bit on the nose.”

Under this HUD rule, about 37,000 children born in the U.S. could face homelessness because someone in their family lacks papers. That's roughly a baseball stadium full of kids. Deliberate, gratuitous cruelty masquerading as housing policy.

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

These folks lie with ease and frequency but the text of the emails is also an insight into the megalomania of tech bros. You made a doorbell with a camera bro.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Read this sentence slowly: “Gov. Gavin Newsom, crypto executives and business leaders are ramping up efforts this week to stop the proposed wealth tax...” gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

A federal judge has ruled that U.S. officials cannot place Kilmar Abrego Garcia back into immigration custody because the government has not shown a credible plan for deporting him.

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

Haha 🤣

Two Rice University undergrads (freshmen!) built a digital mapping tool to track ICE activity. Students are OK. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Can’t believe we are still doing this

Judge rules ICE likely violated Minnesota detainees' constitutional rights #ICEOUT #Whipple #FDT #Epstein #GTFO thehill.com/regulation/c...

I may say more later but part of what some of us need to understand is that the right has built an entirely distinct civic society, with its own hierarchy and (mostly networked) cultural institutions. That includes celebrity.

so "looksmaxxing" is just eating disorders with skincare routines, right?

bring back shame

“Though Black women only account for about 14% of the workforce, they represented over half of all women’s job losses during the U.S. employment market’s most volatile months in 2025, like March, April, June, and December.”

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

i went to minneapolis and wrote about what i saw (a massive, robust mutual aid network that is ultimately just a bunch of regular people) and what i didn’t see (thousands of people who are terrified to leave their homes)

News: The top-secret whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Dell has been on this beat since the very beginning and points out a thing often missed: the cost to all of us for Amazon’s loss prevention strategy is a nationwide surveillance network.

For all the evil that gets done legislatively and judicially, there’s something to be said about the complicity of regular people who are all too willing to be “overly cautious.”

I find this question about whether chatbots are “alive” to be truly, truly boring. You can torture a definition of “life” so that it includes chatbots or you can listen to actual, unequivocal flesh-and-blood people talking about harm it does them *right now*.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

"Don't you ever accuse me of a crime!" is an insane thing to say while you're actively committing said crime

As myself and others within the academic and research world have been clearly pointing out this has all been counterinsurgency, not actual on the ground changes Elite media is helping to amplify that counter insurgency propaganda in place of the reality that nothing on the ground here has changed

I talked with @victorerikray.bsky.social about the repression we’re facing at public universities here in Florida, where the state is attempting to impose a textbook on our intro classes, insisting that no published textbook complies with state law. Here’s Part 1. Part 2 drops next week.

Documents acquired by Unicorn Riot late last year reveal that well over half a billion taxpayer dollars have thus been funneled out of Florida's state budget to private prison companies that donated to Governor Ron DeSantis and other republican campaigns. unicornriot.ninja/2026/new-doc...

Iowa closing the African American studies major during Black history month is diabolical. This article is from 4 days ago, but it is now official. The minor will continue.

I have zero bandwidth to develop the idea, but the last decade has given rise to a gulliblity style, where a source’s statement is treated as the story regardless of whether it’s true or plausible. It creates stories that are technically true but functionally misinformation. You see it everywhere.

If only someone was tasked with protecting Minnesotans
