This has got to be one of the more insane things I've read about this insane administration

this Lent, let us be reminded that "Japanese" tempura comes from the Latin "ad tempora quadragesima" or "during the time of Lent" when the Jesuits ate deep fried veggies on fast days. The Japanese later adopted this practice and name.

Inject this straight into my abolitionist veins boltsmag.org/arkansas-pri...

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

Pol Pot killed 3 million people. Vought and Musk have him beat three times over.

if you're a republican, this is, like, *the* type of guy you absolutely cannot lose like this

Never reactivate it.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

God dammit, I'm tired enough in 2026 without needing to find a new tech ecosystem for 90% of my online life

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

He murdered 300,000 people last year right here on earth and the toll may climb to 14 million.

I feel like a really unfun fun fact the general public should be aware of: when you reach out to ICE with media inquiries or for statements, they usually just respond with a list of mugshots of people they’ve arrested.

JD VANCE IS A REAL BAD GUY! EVERYWHERE HE GOES THE PEOPLE BOO HIM! I WANT TO BOO JD VANCE! I BOOED JD VANCE! I BOOED JD VANCE! I BOOED JD VANCE! I BOOED JD VANCE! I BOOED JD VANCE! Rock over Washington, Rock on Minneapolis La-Z-Boy Furniture, live life comfortably

jd vance booed outside his own house! [keyboard noodling] rock over london, rock on chicago. jimmy dean said sausage is a great deal like life! you get out of it what you put into it!

[Wesley Willis voice]

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

If you see what ICE is doing to my city and you’re still protecting it, you are the enemy and we will not forgive or forget you.

Picked Estonia Sweden mixed doubles curling to watch at random, and this is peak Olympics.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

It ain't me, babe

Folks: This is important. SHEAR—the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic (a GREAT organization)—is tracking examples of the regime erasing history. More at the link below.

Believe your own eyes. Nothing about this is normal. Trump and his goon squad are trying to undermine a fundamental principle of our democracy: free and fair elections.

10/10 ICE protest sign

No wonder he was first to capitulate to Trump's demands early on, selling out the lawyers who worked for him and making it more dangerous for the rest of the bar to oppose Trump's extortion.

"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

packing the court should’ve been a litmus test ever since they threw out roe

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Miami to kidnap and threaten people. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

HEY MEDIA: I think when pro sports teams are holding memorials for the people the administration has declared terrorists, it’s safe to drop the “accounts differ” pretense and move on to “the administration attempts to smear the man it murdered”

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

Our institutions are so cowed, our public is so infatuated with the notion that you can invent your own truth, that no one feels they can simply be the arbiter of what is true and real, trusting the evidence of their eyes and ears. Truth is treated as a social agreement, a compromise position.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

man.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

It’s so obvious on the ground how ICE is the instigator. I watched the state patrol stand motionless separating protesters from a small ICE army, ignoring hecklers and people pleading with them. And then ICE moved in.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

they’re turning r/nba posters into this guy

it feels weird to say that I’m feeling anything other than despair when All Of This is happening but I’m reminding myself and all of you once again that despair is not activism and letting yourself rot in despair is not helpful to anyone. Take the time to recharge so you can do things that matter.
