I think it is really important for us to understand just how big of a defeat the We Are All Charlie Kirk thing was, because I don't feel like there has been much writing about the larger meaning of it

New episode! Maya and Rebecca ruin ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, outlining what made it such irresistible bait for Academy voters (hint hint: prestige white guys being “political”). www.saucepodcast.com/one-battle-a...

Donald Trump has one policy approach to economic questions and that is "me and my cronies loot everything that isn't nailed down" prospect.org/2026/02/09/b...

The Epstein class is forever attacking socialism because they are terrified that people will find out that government can be like this

Bro literally came out and said “it’s our labor and culture that has always made the Americas great: y’all are just the beneficiaries of slave owners from sea to shining sea,” and I am here for it.

time to remind everybody that the Super Bowl halftime show only exists in this grandiose fashion because a tv show called "In Living Color" stole the ratings from the NFL; the execs notoriously said, "get me Michael Jackson's agent" and thus began all the pomp www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

The video for El Apagón includes a great documentary on the climate crisis in Puerto Rico, including the energy injustice issues referenced in the halftime show. youtu.be/1TCX_Aqzoo4?...

What can you do with a history degree?

I think one of the best things about Bad Bunny’s performance is that it was so *specific*. It so clearly had a point of view coming from real lived experience and actual emotion, actual heart, not cynical calculation. Just beautiful.

We all saw the fellas grindin right? That may be a first for the super bowl.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I mean I am up dancing. Plus Cardi, Gaga, Ricky Martin? Brilliant.

Hey, honey, wake up. The predations are merging!

This is making me feel patriotic as hell

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I don’t think he code switched once, for real. Respect. 🫡

Green Day have to be the only band to play 924 Gilman and the Super Bowl

"Healthcare workers confirm that ICE is abandoning half-naked kidnapping victims in the woods of Minnesota to die. "Individuals have shown up in emergency rooms who require amputations—some with cracked skulls." (1/29/26)" www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/...

The first big social media addiction case in the US is going before a jury. Tech Policy Press fellow Varsha Bansal breaks down what's at stake and what to expect in court, from executives testifying to troves of internal evidence showing companies knew the harm their designs caused.

Seems clear that the regime is using counter-insurgency tactics to punish cities for their legal & institutional opposition to the fascists.

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

Humans warehoused in camps for months, some for years. Remarkable organizers doing all to support, monitor, and relay from outside. Indie media like @lataco.bsky.social, started as a taco site, now the vanguard of journalism in this country, deserving your $. lataco.com/captive-loti...

free them all

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017. He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

People who kind of seem like they would be in the Epstein files bravely coming forward to declare that they’re in the Epstein files and it’s fine.

We all forgot about this but this is probably the best headline to explain the guys whole vibe

This week I watched a screening of the new documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin, about how the Russian state has transformed schools into indoctrination centres over the past four years. The most disturbing part for me was knowing that the 🇺🇸regime is starting to make the same efforts.

I dive deep into the Epstein Files for the latest on the NY Times’ financial journalist, Landon Thomas Jr.’s relationship with Epstein & how it compromised the world finding out more about Donald Trump’s role in Epstein’s world before the 2016 election. youtu.be/cE82IGjZPgk?...

Dating myself but I'm old enough to remember that even before 2017 raping underage girls was considered "illegal" and "uncool."

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.

I will never understand how it wasn't obvious to everyone that crypto has no real function except speculation and crime

i will never stop thinking about the intersection of epstein and the shitty media men list

nevermind spanish, some of you have three days to learn how to dance

Ten countries have opened new Epstein investigations. France Turkey United Kingdom Poland Lithuania Norway Latvia Australia North Macedonia Sweden Only Donald Trump wants the country move on from the Epstein Files.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

One way for the media to win back the respect of viewers would be for them to show us that they have some self-respect of their own. When you let the president denigrate and humiliate your colleagues without saying a word, you're not really giving off a "holding the powerful to account" vibe

Again they took away your incredibly meager healthcare and gave your money to the child-snatching squad

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

You know how The Death of Stalin condenses a few months of events into a week or so for the sake of pacing? If you made a movie where this happened days after Bezos spent $75 million on a fancam of the First Lady people would assume that's what you were doing.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

“One of the agents came up to me with his cell phone and took a photograph of me," said Marimar Martinez, who was shot five times by Border Patrol. "It still haunts me that this agent has my photo on his phone. Was this the agent that shot me? Was this a trophy for him?”
