Trump threatened to invoke the insurrection act on Minnesota. These are meaningless threats. The city is already under occupation by federal forces. This is about scaring local electeds into cracking down for him and having preemptive compliance.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.

I mean abandon all immigration enforcement.

People can say what they want but the real US left is developing rapidly. People are falling into different communist strains of thought. Orgs are exploding. Lenin lives

"If they come for us in the morning, they will come for you in the night" Sticker spotted in Seattle

Fluoride=bad is one of the older right-coded conspiracy theories. I remember getting exposed to it by a libertarian friend in Elementary school. Meanwhile, I took it as a kid and have all my teeth. This is bad.

Everyone who is politically attentive should canvas at least once if for no reason other than to see firsthand how utterly incoherent the politics of the modal American are. "Homer Simpson webpage" incoherent is the baseline and it either pleasantly surprises you or deeply horrifies you from there.

ugh god it's still never gonna shut up about how it's just as easy to use as windows malware

Once again I am BEGGING you to understand: Judas is the best song in Gaga's revue.

We need bureaucrats to intake immigrants, which is VERY different from law enforcement.

Put this on Poetry in Motion you cowards! @mta.info

Time to shut it all down until we defund Ice.

leftist plan to increase the birthrate: - universal health care - free child care - better paid family leave - better workforce protections so they can't lay you off while you're pregnant and be like "no it was for something else i swear" ok i did it www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...

Seeing it come up a lot, so it bears repeating that Harris did not lose b/c leftists didn’t vote for her. Leftists criticized her, and threatened to withhold their vote in an attempt to push her left. But that is not the same thing as actually abstaining, and she lost b/c most of America is fash!

Comrades I’m so sorry but I love the Hamilton soundtrack. I know this means there is an ice pick in my future.

Just read this earlier. Excellent article (if you don’t mind seeing the cockroaches beneath the floorboards of American fascism).

Clowning on evil dead men: a Bluesky tradition.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

I am so excited for this.

Obligatory “I’m In this picture and I don’t like it.”

If you close ranks to protect a murderer caught on camera, yiur profession is irredeemable.

*Technically* you can't take it with you, so go ahead and drink during the day (Horus would say do it).

I think, in a real way, the super-rich are afraid of repercussions. Their thirst for escalating control of everyone else is a fear response.

Abolish ICE polls over 40% right now without any politicians making it part of their platform or talking about it. If you threw in a charismatic Dem talking about how much of a waste of money ICE is and how it undermines local cities' judicial systems, it would easily be a winning political issue.

Replace ICE with the sketchy government agency from Lilo and Stitch. Their hearts, at least, were movable.

More and more I think the “moderate voter” is a kind of abstracted concept, closely related to the “rational individual” used in economics.

Lol Fuck yeah

There is a difference between consuming media and engaging with or participating in media. Consumption is voyeuristic, the characters & themes are Other, existing solely for the satisfaction of the consumer. Engagement & participation treat these as fellow subjects, even as Us.

Chat, is using the phrase "late-stage capitalism" a red flag? Like is it a liberal/centrist dog-whistle? Brought to you by: I just used the phrase but am now realizing I see the phrase used mostly by liberals who are drawing an arbitrary line re: how much capitalism is too much capitalism.

@schumer.senate.gov as one of your constituents, I promise you I will never vote for you if you do not pledge to get rid of the DHS.

Heyyyy why is Pink News quoting so many posts from X?

Destroying Xitter would probably be the single most impactful action you could take against the fascist international movement, and the best against the US movement outside of SCOTUS reform or adding new states. It's also the easiest, and likely most popular, given how loathsome Musk and CSAM are.

I Adore this man

Use the impeachment of Noem as groundwork for abolishing ICE AND DHS. Do public education. Use media, etc...

This is one of the best threads I have ever read abt Star Trek and voices complaints I had not really consciously articulated! It also lays bare, imo, the contradiction of sci-fi and a "franchise" --a pitfall which Trek avoids more than most, but not entirely.

Such an important point. Like, this is cool! I'm not opposed to playing god to save ourselves! But these radical geohacking techniques never seem to...happen. Not at scale, certainly.

PUMP IT

That was quick. 🤣

My New Year’s resolution is to produce a *normal amount of mucus.*

Everyone was like get into STEM not a silly liberal arts degree but the best degree for understanding this moment in time is the much maligned gender studies degree(with a history minor concentrated on the Gilded Age)

Hilton Hotels all the way!

an campy burlesque calendar, but it’s just different artists and models creating their renditions of various rebecca paperback covers

This IS a particularly scary Sunday, though

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

This! I might say there exist *small* queer communities, e.g. the NYC House & Ballroom scene is a community. But this idea that there is an automatic affiliation between queer people--especially queer people who hold different values (?!), is at best wishful thinking of those just out of the closet.
