you know what's cheaper and safer than a ring camera? a fake camera. I've had one since my last porch theft three years ago and it even fooled the eye of a cop trying to get me to snitch on my neighbors. you can't subpoena a recording that doesnt exist.

Anarchism is definitely having a moment in Minnesota. The anarchy is real, productive, and amazing here these days.

Are we allowed to say concentration camps yet

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

This man was murdered by an off-duty ICE agent and he has two young daughters who will not have the support of a father ever again. We can't raise even $300k for these girls?

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Already reposted the quoted post but just started cracking up all over again because I can’t believe we saw a wholesome example of this exact format in the wild

Just so we're clear, the President's mass-deportation campaign is rooted in the same naked racism against Latinos

"If you are uncomfortable with what the Border Patrol is doing in Minneapolis, you are uncomfortable with the Border Patrol, full stop."

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Almost like that’s been the entire point of the term for decades

After 19 months of bargaining, we have not reached an agreement with OPB that includes livable wages and sufficient yearly guaranteed increases for the people who create the content you love. Make your voice heard during OPB's membership Drive today, February 5 - February 14. Here's how ⬇️

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

In a sane world, the decision by Rufo, Vance, & co. to slander and slap a target on the traumatized, hardworking immigrants who revitalized a rust belt city -- and who *were invited* to that city -- would be a stain on their careers that they never live down. They should be reminded of it. Often.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

*Call to Action* OPB’s membership drive runs Feb 5th and ends Feb 14th. We will share more details on how you can support when the membership drive starts tomorrow! #UnionStrong #OPB #KMHD

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

The big tech founder whose 417-foot, $500 million superyacht needs a 256-foot, $75 million superyacht to "shadow" it -- because the bigger yacht lacks a helipad -- had to cut his paper's newsroom almost in half, for reasons

Starbucks workers are asking customers to delete the mobile app amid their ongoing strike to push the corporation to reach a first contract with the union and to stop union busting www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

this is exactly right. "popularism" in practice amounts to an abdication of political leadership!

Public sector employees are under "right to work" laws because of Janus vs AFSCMEa and we are unionizing at a much faster rate than private workers. And no strike articles do not supercede federal/state laws guaranteeing workers rights to strike if their employer is committing unfair labor practices

What Democrats want :: What Chuck Schumer says Democrats want

I think this is the essential quality that made CBP/BP and ICE so easily convertible into fascist squadristi www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Remember like 15 years ago, when Russian dash cams of horrible accidents went viral? And everyone in Russia was using them because they couldn’t trust the authorities? Fundamentally, the dash cam and the body cam are the visual record of a failed state. They are a symptom posing as a substitute

Me, tired, tapping the sign

So the next step from democrats is: “it is illegal to do this without approvals and in 2029 we will hold all companies that take part criminally liable and seize all their assets to pay for restoration.”

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Remember when the U.S. was a free country that athletes wanted to defect to, rather than a horrorshow state run by an authoritarian regime with masked secret police goons who pose a threat to **checks notes** Canadians

Jodie Foster: They should have sent a poet Poet: Aliens ahoy! A galactic sight. When you’re in space all day is night

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

Hand-drawn attempt at showing where people were when ICE attacked Half or more of the march had already passed by and departed the vicinity Half still lined up before ice @drmitchpdx.bsky.social Portland Oregon S Waterfront Jan 31 2026 4:45 p

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I think the casual abandon with which the state deploys chemical weapons outlawed by the Geneva Conventions against its own people should perhaps be taken up by state legislatures and Congress. It’s only been over a century.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

ICE agents are just normal cops but with an even more oversized budget and less oversight. I can’t emphasize this enough, more training like the Dems want for ICE will just give us normal cops… who kill people all the fucking time.

we can cut programs like this. or we could tax the rich and solve our problems at their roots. i prefer the latter, but we’ll need a legislative body that has a spine.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Literally half the country wants to abolish ICE and the Democrats are going to make them pinky swear not to deport U.S. citizens anymore

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy www.sacbee.com
