“These political parties, they’re like shipwrecks: metal structures, they’re dead. Street protests, youth politics come into them like shoaling fish, to turn them into living reefs.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

love this town

of course bari’s promoting the guy who disrespected ta-nehisi coates on air because he told the truth about israel

All cops

Bluesky wasn't even included in the sites to be restricted by this ridiculous law. They're complying and taking ID purely for funsies.

Stopping data centers is anti-fascist activism. You heard it from me; now go and spread the good word. We can and must stop them or slow them from being built.

“Generative AI is a tool of authoritarianism in the United States, but there are ways to push back — and people are doing so right now.” Excellent work from @zeblarson.bsky.social.

my high school PE teacher wouldnt accept even one of these reps

the guy responsible for giving us george santos is running for governor of new york lmaoooooo

friendly reminder that sometimes things are closed in Charlottesville because the staff who aren’t paid enough to live in town need to be able to make it safely in to work

In line for the TSA behind this guy

People want the planes to fly on time and not crash due to overworked air traffic controllers, and these guys are like "you know what they need: pull up bars at the gate." Just comically stupid people.

honking a clown nose is extremely sensual in their culture. clowns consider their first nose honk a true right of passage into the broader politics of clown sexual relations

New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

this places rules and if you're too afraid to visit that's between you and your tiny baby brain

This is not normal

The fact Bovino is a career civil servant and not a political appointee really shows CBP needs to be abolished root and branch. Let the IRS do customs (seriously).

Of course. Of course. www.axios.com/2025/12/08/j...

Wow. So we're in a reality where a crony of the president and his son-in-law aligned w/financing from sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi for a hostile takeover of the company owning CNN, a major film studio and HBO. Terrible times. https://loom.ly/RE7eJuw

jared kushner is the forrest gump of all the worst events in recent history

Well, well, well.

NEW: Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal www.propublica.org/article/trum... w/ @robert-faturechi.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

Definitely worth reading.

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

DHS used a wide variety of weapons against people in Elgin yesterday, not only tear gas. Some wild photos in this writeup from @domguan.bsky.social:

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Whoa … this is really strange. Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

He went from “I will lower prices Day 1” to “Affordability is a Democrat scam” faster than you can say “FIFA Peace Prize” and MAGAs still worship him. But it’s definitely not a cult.

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. But teach a man how to fish and Pete Hegseth will murder him.”

I really really hate how normalized life-with-no-privacy has become. Corporations, governments, random internet creeps... everyone has access to every single moment of your existence now and it's ridiculous.

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

It would take 2 hours and 20 minutes to travel between Boston and Washington, D.C. at this speed. This country is so behind, it's laughable.

News: After 5 months, UVA has finally produced billing records from its outside counsel (McGuireWoods LLP) related to DOJ investigations. UVA spent over $1.7 million through end of August! Link to the heavily redacted invoices here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ev8ke...

Yeah. All of the strikes have been just as illegal as if Iran sunk a Disney cruise because it suspected passengers carried weed. But this one is so blatant—helpless survivors on an already-damaged ship—that it's impossible to fabricate any rationale. It's a crack worth widening.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva shares her point of view from an ICE raid in her district where she and her staff were pepper sprayed and shot at with pepper balls.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

this is an absurd, staggering amount of money to lose and the thing is that it basically didn’t matter at all because Meta prints money the AI bubble is not going to completely destroy tech because many of the people funding it are sitting on gigantic money spigots and can go “oops”

This DHS post in a fashy font features the sizzle reel of the raid on the Chicago apartment building, set to a cover of “Jesus Walks,” a song by Ye…an artist originally from Chicago who is now best known for his “Christian,” pro-Hitler stance. Very subtle.

Charlottesville, it's our turn

As energy costs skyrocket, the Trump administration’s solution is apparently a useless advisory “National Coal Council” which, incidentally — 9 months later — still has no members! 🤦🏽‍♂️

NEW ORLEANS OFFICIALS: “We insist (Trump’s ICE goons) clearly ID themselves… there is no precedent for masked law enforcement… they have ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY… citizens are being racially profiled, chased, hunted… the chaos and lack of professionalism is ALARMING…”

😕

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

FUCK ICE

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.
