In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

I listened to a biography of FDR recently and the throughline of his first 2 terms is that he was boldly against monied interests in word and deed and the American people fucking loved him to death for it* *kept reelecting him until he literally died in office

I received an "F" on my dental school paper for writing "the tooth fairy takes 'em while you sleep" and now I'm suing the school for religious discrimination

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle

Do you know that referees have their own convention every year? You may have heard of it. It's in Atlanta. Have you heard of the Atlanta Foul Con?

Tomorrow I will defeat my family.

Hey, congratulations to all of Olivia Nuzzi’s horny media critic defenders. Heckuva job!

We need to do everything we can to encourage posts like this on bluesky. Terrible food opinions from big name sportswriters are genuinely the lifeblood of any social media app

Craziest-making part of all of this (again) is that IRL friends look at me like I'm the dementia patient if I quote what @atrupar.com posts on the regular. They get their "news" from NPR & Rachel etc. Sanewashers Anonymous.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

nothing was learned eh it gets to be a real mindfuck having ptsd from something that genuinely does keep happening over and over

It is absolutely vital that we get this guy in a room with trump at least once a month

I do honestly think trump is senile enough that the mayor of New York is sort of instinctively an impressive person to him that he wants to please, despite being the fucking president

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

I am dog

It's not complicated, honestly. The dead ender sycophants who have no career post-Trump need Trump to stay gold and in office, as a corpse if necessary. The Nazis, meanwhile, are building a coalition to replace him. People are choosing sides.

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

The words came to me in a dream: "Goonsday Preppers"

It would be cool if people (especially writers) realized that how attracted you are to someone is not an objective measure of anything about them & where it provides insight is mainly into yourself

to drop the kayfabe, the epstein emails are so horrifying and the participants so ghoulishly open and celebratory about raping children that i don’t know how to grapple with it they’re not hiding it. they consider what they’re doing so easy, the young women so disposable. it’s a big joke to them.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

I also told the reporters that this entire campaign was an exercise in white supremacy, an effort to resegregate UVA. They left that out. Lots of people still find such statements too uncomfortable to consider.

What you already know about Trump got Prince Andrew ejected from the royal lineage.

Look if you're trans, you have to live. Do whatever you need to do to make it.

Elite Journos probably have the strongest sense of class consciousness in the nation (derogatory)

Oh this is extremely good

do you think the women Bill Clinton sexually harassed and coerced into sex (in other words: raped) forgave him. are the liberals really gloating about how their sex pest only abused women, not girls. is that the line?—is everyone in America living vicariously through the eyes of millionaire rapists

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

The woman whom the House Ethics Committee determined Matt Gaetz paid for sex when she was 17 years old was living in a homeless shelter, working at McDonald's, and needed the money for braces www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

Seriously? A 15 year old is NOT "barely legal." She is still years away from being legal AT ALL. Stop whitewashing pedophilia. Stop trying to blur the lines.

There was a mass hysteria built around transgender people being "groomers" while emails between one of the most notorious sexual predators and human traffickers in history and the power elite of politics and business were just there. Absolutely disgusting.

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Again, maybe what the takeaway we should have from political reporter after political reporter not just getting chummy w ppl like Trump or Epstein (or RFK Jr 👀) but actively running interference for them—either in their coverage or privately—is that its an industry full of ppl that are Bad Actually™️

“Oh wow, how bad could a rebranding be?” [two paragraphs into the story] “Oh.”

I need to point out that these aren't even the full Epstein Files. There are just emails released by the House Oversight Committee. There's even worse out there.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget. It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-hand-d...

I've always thought the reason Obama and Biden were hands-off on this stuff was due to prominent Democrats, Dem strategists and Dem donors being Friends of Epstein. Just release it all, and let every pedophile burn.

Ageism works BOTH WAYS and that includes the suppression and oppression of the youth and their right to life and liberty at the hands of the old

At some point we have to confront that we're not trying to educate an ignorant population about the struggles of queer life and epistemic injustice. They KNOW, and they want to keep it that way, if not make it worse. We are an affront to their pathetic, rotten societies.
