dude is honestly wasting a great opportunity to go full super villain and just wear gloves all the time ... enough with the daily spackle ... just get some bad guy gloves and call it a fuckin' day, my dude!

not today, satan

My new keychain seems pretty apropos:

A Democratic Party that reflected the values of its base would put this into its national platform: "Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans."

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

"Every good thing you have in your life is the product of someone else's struggle."

ah yes, because everyone who doesn't own a home is definitely lazy ... THAT'S the issue with housing in this country get fucked, you rotting clown

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

my chiropractor randomly deciding to be closed the entire week after the first big snowstorm in years is ... a choice

putting these Bluesky invite codes out on ebay let’s see what happens

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

it cannot be repeated often enough or loud enough, but all of the assholes responsible for this shit need to held accountable in the most public of ways so that no dipshits 30 or 60 years down the road see any incentive in trying the whole "let's rollback decades of scientific progress" thing again

riiiiiiight?! like, it's obviously just a blatant bribe; but who the heck would the target audience for this even be ... and is it just Melania herself?!

I say once more - representation matters!! **applies icepack to angry back**

MAGA fuckin' loves cancel culture

Having an entire society built around the cultural idea that there are no ethical limits as long as you are in the pursuit of power and profit, and that anything one does that impedes someone’s pursuit of power and profit is by default questioned or criminalized, isn’t working out for us.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

the fact that this piece of shit has begun gaining influence with the powerbrokers of the republican party is just more evidence that if/when the democrats regain power, they need to go full scorched earth and not look for bipartisan ways to "return to normalcy"

this is the good stuff

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

it would get them out of Minneapolis (but not Minnesota) but pretty much nowhere else they've been causing harm — 2/3 of all Americans live within the border zone

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

(hopefully) final update:

I'll vote for any candidate that says I don't have to shovel snow ever again.

more and more people are saying it ...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

agree with everyone saying dems need to press this advantage and oust noem, miller, and put the screws to vance. they all lied publicly about the killing and are vulnerable now that the administration is retreating. there’s blood in the water! could be a real turning point!

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

'tis time to put the fuckin' hammer down on getting Stephen Miller to resign, get launched into the ocean via trebuchet, and/or be forced to stand in the direct sunlight to inevitably turn to dust like the Nosferatu lil bitch he is

Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year. These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.* So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds. Read, & check out our maps:

Thinking back, we probably should not have elected the horrifying nazi pedophile with severe dementia to be president of the United States

good to see the scrappy, underdog New England Patriots get to the Super Bowl ... can you believe there are kids who were born in **checks notes** mid-to-late 2019 who have never seen this team win a championship?! unfathomable stuff, right?!

Wolves have a moment of silence for Alex Pretti, after seven seconds of silence several fans yell "FUCK ICE"

second round of shoveling and it's (dang near) 5pm — seems like it's time to crack a shovel beer

jerking yourself off for figuring out the President of the American Nazi Party is a fascist on [checks notes] January 25 of 2026

here's the thing, if you voted for Trump, it's really easy to denounce this shit! honestly, it seems like this would be an ideal opportunity to do so! say you disagree! say you don't like it! say this 'isn't what i voted for' or whatever!

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

Breathless reports on Twitter from Project Veritas & fellow creeps of infiltrating ICE watch signals. I thought, Oh, no, they found a couple of jackasses & are going to blow them up. But no, the "conspiracy" is that many people volunteer, take turns on shifts, and train at nonviolence.

there are multiple angles of NONE OF THIS BULLSHIT FUCKING HAPPENING and if any 'legitimate' news outlet lets 'em get away with this gaslighting, you might as well shut the fuckin' doors, turn off the lights, and close up shop ... because you serve zero goddamned purpose in this society
