They won’t. And - like with Jan 6 - inaction ensures that it will happen again.

Fuck ICE m.neilyoungarchives.com/news/5/artic...

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

It is now confirmed from multiple sources that ICE shot a legal observer dead on Portland in Minneapolis between 34th and 33rd street. The victim is dead

“According to a bystander video…the driver of a purple Honda Pilot blocked in unmarked federal vehicles on the street, impeding their path. The driver then slowly backed up and started to accelerate away before the agents fired three shots into the vehicle.” A woman, per witnesses.

“Syd liked to laugh. I remember him that way.” On what would have been Syd Barrett’s 80th birthday, friends and fans including Elton John, Peter Jenner, Paul Weller and John Frusciante pay tribute to Pink Floyd’s fallen Icarus...

living in this country is like being awake on the table

"To be a socialist meant to be a human, to affirm that there was more to life than the brutish quest for coin. Not just wages, but dignity. Not just bread, but roses too." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We're bringing back the great union songs in 2026, and we're doing it very strongly www.instagram.com/reels/DS-uIn...

Mayor Mamdani showing great restraint by not roasting Michael Rapaport in his inauguration speech

A reminder that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra’s parents emigrated here during a period when Italians were considered to be a genetically inferior and criminal-minded underclass that Stephen Miller’s racist predecessors said should be excluded from America

“it’s a wonderful life” (1946) remains the best christmas film about the importance of mutual aid during the decline of capitalism.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Not the biggest issue here, obviously, but the second “the” before JFK’s name bothers me a great deal in addition to all the other stuff

Have never been so delighted to see a picture of David Brooks

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Had to track down the Rob Reiner cameo on 30 Rock.

Legendary

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Guess he hasn’t had a big enough year for them to get his name right.

Did they explain why Jalen Brunson sounded like RFK Jr. in his pretaped interview before the NBA Cup game?

The inspiration for the name The French 75 in One Battle After Another was a story Jason Robards told Paul Thomas Anderson about the time Sam Peckinpah insisted they make French 75 cocktails while in the middle of nowhere filming The Ballad of Cable Hogue in Mexico:

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits

I continue to find it very funny that the man who might legitimately be the worst actor in SAG tried to give that honor to someone else

The “garbage” destroying America isn’t in Minnesota’s Somalian community. It’s in the Oval Office. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Crazy, he was also the Steve that Sam Moore said “Play it, Steve” to on “Soul Man”

Soul flag flies at half mast today.

“It’s not even believable” because it’s a disgusting racist lie.

RIP Steve Cropper, a foundational figure in American music. The sound of his guitar will outlive us all. youtu.be/nbBcXvKvB08?...

My fella’s old band had 25 million streams on Spotify this year, which should translate to everyone in our house sleeping on a pile of ermine coats, but what it really translates to makes no discernible material difference in anyone’s lives. That’s how I feel about Spotify wrapped.

If the lawnmower-in-the-office scene has a similar error please let me know, I’ll start my rewatch immediately

Woke up early on the west coast to listen; there are countless reasons why I’m grateful to have grown up in listening range of WFMU, but Jeff Sarge’s Reggae Schoolroom is high on the list. Maximum respect.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

been a few "rainy night in soho" covers this year but if you haven't heard Dylan's from earlier this week. the instant audience reaction is something else. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrrY...

“How should we market our cologne?” “Let’s make a TV commercial where Johnny Depp and a wolf stand side by side in the desert and seethe together.” “Wow, perfect. No notes.”

Goodbye Jimmy Cliff. His vocal in this 1976 SNL performance, good lord---one of the best singers of his generation, of any generation. vimeo.com/155135842

Udo Kier da god, RIP youtu.be/dHiedkUrZEs

And I think the President should appreciate the frankness when he goes to a football game and thousands of fans flip him off and boo him

Wrote about Todd Snider, East Nashville and how the more things change, the more they change. www.dontrocktheinbox.com/something-go...

A major writer of enduring consequence. I read last week that he was too sick to be on the road and too broke to be off it. Awful people indulge themselves in despicable rationalizations about life choices and lost highways, but it's murder most foul. I don't think I can take this business anymore.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Unclear to me how someone could receive a friendly personal email from Jeffrey Epstein and then reply to it instead of jumping off a bridge in shame and disgust

Would be funny if he loved NORBIT like Brian Wilson did

If you were a visitor from a distant land and had to understand the purpose of the democratic party elite from only their actions not their words, what would you say their function is? I think this is an important question to understand our situation clearly.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Funny how this shitbag’s whole thing was “New York is a hellscape and I hate going there” and now he is concerned that the new mayor will ruin New York
