The pervasive notion that it's somehow illegal for leftists to have fun or enjoy themselves is actually just the productivity-maxxing mandate of capitalism. Progressive values are rooted in community rather than puritan industriousness, and community is created through leisure as much as labor.

Bigotry is so brain melting that some Tennessee rescue won't let a friend of friend adopt a dog because she lives within 20 miles of Dearborn.

easiest way to kill america is to kill the post office, example whatever number

In addition to all the people being hurt directly right now, I think all of us are suffering some kind of spiritual damage by witnessing it

Current cancer patient here. Despite having a best-case type and stage of cancer, I only managed to schedule 6 hours of work last week and 10 hours the week before. The only reason to make a rule like this is to kick sick people off Medicaid

Deeply disappointed in Vanilla Ice. It used to be about making great timeless music. Now I have to get seven tattoos removed.

Good morning only to those who recognize that Graham Platner is a fucking Nazi. 🌞

The toll on press covering Delaney Hall:

i feel like i’m going crazy seeing what’s going on at delaney and it’s just like business as usual for everyone else media isn’t raising any alarm bells not bothering to report the constitutional crisis this has become zilch

Happy Pride month you buncha queers

We are being kettled in at the Delaney Hall protests. That means they are staging at certain streets to prevent people from leaving after 9Pm even though the rally is not out front of the detention center. They are saying something on the loud speakers but it’s muffled.

Greg Bovino and the head of New York's Young Republicans were in Portugal this weekend for a neo-fascist summit on ethnic cleansing. So why didn't the press cover it? My latest for @theredoubt.net, on extremism, antisemitism and media double standards: www.theredoubt.net/why-did-the-...

state troopers with riot gear and horses are just smol beans

The first ever trillionaire will become a trillionaire by using political power to bend the rules of financial markets to force everybody’s retirement accounts to invest in his company

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine. But of course that's a 'good' invasion. So there is silence.

Dude, I cannot stand this posthumous AI shit. It's unethical and very disrespectful to a person's memory if you ask me not to mention completely unnecessary.

weird how many of the 2016 "bernie is actually right winger despite his voting record" people and the 2026 "platner is actually a left winger despite his nazi tattoo" people are the same people

A new report shows that nearly half of U.S. households did not earn enough to cover their necessities in 2024.

I find it totally bizarre that no twin cities outlets even mentioned this in passing. People were fired from jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk, but praising a convicted murderer isn’t a scandal?

Some liberals are OBSESSED with "private" prisons as though the problem is not simply PRISONS. Folks, the vast majority of prisons in the U.S. are PUBLIC NOT PRIVATE. And they are HELL HOLES. OK? I need folks to stop and actually focus on the PROBLEM which is PRISONS AND JAILS.

NPR finally waking up to the BREAKING news that all racists are also misogynists: www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

I should not have to know this much about any man from Maine

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

subtle.

Mercado Media stream reports GEO group private security guards just fired "less lethal munitions" at protesters, in addition to those shot by ICE and state police. Three sets of aggressors.

In 1854, a small force of US Marshals entered the city of Boston to capture Anthony Burns, a runaway slave, and return him to Virginia in chains under the Fugitive Slave Act. When a large crowd gathered to prevent this, it was Boston police who protected the Marshals and brutalized the crowd.

Tonight, New Jersey State Police nearly trampled an elderly man playing a cello with their horses and arrested him outside ICE detention facility Delaney Hall. It’s unclear what they hoped to accomplish, as the crowd of people he was playing alongside have not dispersed.

New Jersey State Police set up an LED sign down the road that says “PROTEST PEACEFULLY” and then launched teargas at people for…standing in the road.

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

get yourself a painting, i cant keep doing this without support

We have received $210 (thank you! 🫶), but desperately need $60 to make rent today. Please throw me and my cute dog a few bucks if you can! 🙏

ICE broke the finger of a Reuters photojournalist today. After two days of drenching people in pepper spray, people have been adding more and more layers of protection, rendering the spray useless and leading to ICE using their short metal batons that they swing with full force.

If you read/boost only one thing today, let it be this. Yeah, when have I said that on here. Never.

Hi there, my sweet dog and I need $450 this week for rent & bills. I am an old, disabled queer chick who has been unemployed far too long. Could you please help us survive? CshApp StephMJanett PayPl [email protected] Here is Lucy as a wee puppy. 😊 Any amount helps! Thank you! ❤️

Anyone suggesting there's no reason for angst over losing one's work or health care is either too stupid and privileged to ever engage with on Real Life matters, or just acting in bad faith to generate engagement or start fights.

There is an ICE plane on the ground in Newark right now. ICE might be trying move some of the strikers to Louisiana.

Every single economic indicator that matters for people's ACTUAL lives (not for investors) is currently not good.

A pound of ground beef is more than the federal minimum wage. Read that again.

Imagine reading this and thinking Gender Studies is an outdated discipline.

For sure man

People are angry about AI data centers and their impacts. Instead of addressing real outcry about harm to Black and poor communities, our government criminalizes dissent. Today it's Congress's intel unit. Earlier this week, WIRED showed how DHS, FBI, local police, and private spies are involved.

should have added air quotes around "government"

so the government is threatening to effectively shut down air travel to most major cities six months out from the midterms, I'm sure this will work out well for them

Apologies, my manager failed to inform me that Genocide Enjoyer Fest 2026 was going to be full of genocide enjoyers. I will unfortunately be backing out.

I think one thing the AI age has taught me is how many of my colleagues: 1. genuinely hate writing. 2. are bad at writing. 3. are bad at assessing writing. 4. really do not care about how the writing gets done. Which seems bad, because writing=thinking.

Love how they don’t want to get along well enough to get to the apocalypse they’re supposed to be surviving

consider support a human artist today. getting original art is what allows me to keep doing this.

imagine being president of the united states and getting snubbed by a group popular 40 years ago and best known for lip syncing and also one of them is dead
