Hahahaha lemme tell you about life in Boise, Idaho

This is good.

Really informative stuff here…

That’s Smee in the corner

Brutal.

If this is how your institution is teaching Digital/AI Literacy, they’re doing it very, very wrong.

Okay so here’s my actual Bluesky-is-dying hypothesis: The entire web is dying. Users aren’t going from BlueSky to another site (x/insta/threada/tiktok). Users are going to chatbots. I know traffic to news sites has cratered (like 90%). My hunch is traffic to all the social platforms is down too.

about to touch down in dc so i wanna tell a brief story about how a trip to idaho changed me forever

TikTok is a very underrated source of accidental Dudes Rock content.

#nokings Boise! Amazing turnout and energy

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

This is really common, and every indication is that people hate what “AI” represents in culture, hate the Big AI companies, and… are using it a lot. Just as happened with social media. Which is why we need to talk about accountable, public alternatives, not just regulating the bad actors.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

the vengeful pillow by Edward Gorey

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is about the righteousness of fighting fascism, while also recognizing the inevitability of defeat and the moral necessity to keep fighting even after you lose. The fact that the revolutionaries are all deeply broken, messed-up people is not incidental, it's the whole point.

Every American needs to watch this:

No new pictures, where are you mentally

ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.

Every single person needs to listen to the testimony of Aaliya Rahman, a disabled woman whom ICE dragged from her car, tortured, and nearly killed. This is fascism, and it is critical we stand united to stop it. Abolish ICE and prosecute its perpetrators. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrDJ...

No matter the breed, every dog has one of three default dispositions: 1. Dipshit 2. Has a Job 3. Trying to Pick a Fight with God

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many. The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

Hollllly moly, when it turns the corner. That is a lot of people.

Breaking MS NOW: Aides to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Attorney's office and FBI agents in Minnesota to shut down the civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Right now @ Idaho Women’s March. #idpol

Interesting which stories don't get held for "a few more phone calls" www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October

On Wednesday, Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent. Becca Good, her wife, shared the following statement with MPR News.

There are so many acts of bravery by every day people while elected Dems cower behind focus group tested talking points.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

The Pitt is incredible as proof you can be very middlebrow and very engaging at the same time. So much prestige TV relies on like novelistic subtext or tons of mythology and lore but The Pitt is just like No. You will watch this hot doctor competency porn and you will love it so much

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends
