The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

Yeah, I'm sorry, y'all trying to "reform" this??

I'd state my repulsion and furious anger at having a literal concentration camp in my state a bit more forcefully here, but I'm not the governor of Maryland, so...

Bills that could allow by-right zoning for apartment buildings, townhomes and mixed-use developments in certain commercial corridors cleared the Senate Thursday, one of several proposals to boost housing supply working through the Virginia legislature. virginiamercury.com/2026/02/06/h...

We're gonna keep doing The Work. We're going to tear down everything he builds, build back everything he tears down, and whatever day he dies will be a national holiday for centuries.

Bezos gutted the staff of the Washington Post within days of the theatrical premiere of his $75 million bribe to the Trump Family. Samuel Freedman argues that it's time to spin up a nonprofit news organization in DC on the model of the Baltimore Banner www.liberalcurrents.com/the-washingt...

A 1945 Coldwater, MI news story cited in this moving statement at a local city council meeting in Surprise Arizona. We know enough to act against how ever best we can to the wrongs that ICE / CBP and this administration commit daily in our name.

“There’s a cascading set of problems with this app and what ICE and CBP are doing,” says @mariotrujillo.bsky.social. “Field facial-recognition scans in the interior are incredibly invasive...It gives a veneer of certainty when there isn’t certainty behind the scenes.” www.wired.com/story/cbp-ic...

In light of gutter racism coming from the White House I'm thinking about this. Also thinking about the media outlets that will continue to sanewash this, excuse it, have their centrist hacks write "analysis" pieces on it. Fuck the racist trump regime, fuck racist trump voters, fuck weakass media.

This regime's allergy to competence is both depressing and dangerous

@lhertzel.bsky.social on finding solidarity amidst the tear gas.

NEW: The Institute of Museum and Library Services is now accepting applications for its 2026 grant cycle. But this time, it has unusually specific criteria: It “particularly welcomes” projects that align with President Donald Trump’s vision for America.

Democrats, by contrast, have picked up eight Republican-controlled districts through special elections, as well as 18 seats in New Jersey and Virginia during those states’ regularly scheduled contests last November.

🚫🧊 “The scale is unimaginable,” Torres Desantiago said. “We have rapid response around the clock, seven days a week. We are actively responding to a case every six minutes across the state of Minnesota.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Again, identify & publicize the identity of every single ICE agent who terrorizes & murders people in our communities. Put up flyers in their hometown, on FB & nextdoor, let their church groups know, tell their kid's school. Let them know loudly how we feel. Never let them have a moment of peace.

Illinois will formally adopt the child and adolescent immunization schedule created by the American Academy of Pediatrics, marking another break from federal officials who are limiting the number of recommended vaccines for young children.

If you haven’t figured out by now that Trump is a racist piece of shit, and that’s what drives his base, then you’re never gonna figure it out. Just a note for any reporters who need to see it.

He's not just stealing from a government agency that he's already defunded so they can't audit his wealthy friends and corporations. He's stealing FROM YOU.

“Every single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks…Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."

Justin Hendrix spoke to Irna Landrum from Kairos Fellowship and Alejandra Montoya-Boyer from the Center for Civil Rights and Technology at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights on calls for reform.

[Insert City] will never be as good as [Insert Years] because that's when you/we were in our 20s. And our 20s were wild.

Why is the federal government demanding that states turn over their voter rolls? A confidential agreement that the DOJ sent to states has some answers. bit.ly/46tX4nd

Israel is using JCB machines to destroy Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank and build illegal settlements. This is ethnic cleansing. As JCB is a UK corporation, the UK government has the power to stop this. Demand action: secure.waronwant.org/page/176039/... 📹Video footage from B'Tselem

If anything characterises the turbulent cycle of history we are currently living through, it's the relentless clown car parade of "impossible to foresee" socio-political catastrophes that were, in fact, entirely fucking possible to foresee by anyone with even a barely functional frontal lobe.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

If this were occurring in any nation other than the good ole USofA, the United Nations would be offering electoral integrity assistance and OCSC, the EU, African Union etc would deploy election observation and integrity teams. We will absolutely have a reckoning of some stripe for these people.

Having dropped peanut butter on our dog's head earlier today, I can say with utmost certainty that the evening was much better, #JazzSky

Somebody was decrying the dearth of "modern" protest music on here the other day. I humbly submit for your approval Tyler Childers Long Violent History.

Idk much, but I think if grandmas bringing kids to swim lessons in Orem UT are wearing shirts that say "caring about others isn't political" I would think you're losing the public opinion battle

Virginia Democrats dropped their long-awaited congressional map Thursday, proposing a 10–1 split. The plan largely keeps the 9th mostly intact, redraws Northern and central Virginia, and presses forward despite an ongoing court fight ahead of April referendum. virginiamercury.com/2026/02/05/v...

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

I hope all 23 Democratic Attorneys General open up simultaneous investigations into Elon's extraordinary lawlessness and depravity.

DC enters stage left

based on my experience, google is better at searching reddit than reddit is, and also, google results are so poor that reddit is the best option when available. so I wouldn't be surprised if this "growth" has been driven, in part, by how shitty google has become. also fuck ai and get fucked, reddit.
