By water or sea...

Fuck it. I'm just gonna say it. Algernon is a stupid fucking name for a mouse and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

More like State of the Bunion.

Huh. Watching "The Good Wife" from 2008 and the episode has ICE disappearing a woman off the street and moving her to unknown detention centers. A "shell game". And we're supposed to believe that ICE wasn't fascist before now, Democrats? Lol please.

ACAB is a policy. Bootlicking is bootlicking even if you're the leftish sort.

Is "The Good Wife" actually a good show? Because I'm just seeing another cheesy-ass centrist liberal legal/political procedural.

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social We’re starting to get more attention, lol. “The Swoletariat: a history of leftist fitness” www.npr.org/2026/02/04/n...

and “judeo-christian” is not, in fact, a thing. it is a polite veneer for Islamophobia. you either take all the abrahamic religions as a group or you take them individually or you are being racist. I’m not saying Danny and Robert made their choice here but uh

Non-Jews need to stop parsing Jewish identity using categories linked to defining religion strictly in terms of belief.

If you're watching The Simpsons and want to know who voiced a certain character, here's a quick guide: If it's a celebrity, they probably voiced themselves. If it's a racist stereotype, it's Hank Azaria.

This was appalling. Just endless zionist propaganda, genocide denial by the guest and no correction or follow ups from the host. A case study in how to put a soft progressive seeming spin on genocide denial.

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

"Shirsho Dasgupta, a Miami Herald reporter who found that, as of late August [2025], about two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants who were held there in July have gone missing from ICE’s online database, with their families and attorneys unable to locate them."

Seattle: the city that knows what order letters go in

the internet is where i like to joke with my friends

Encampment sweeps are nothing short of brutality. There's no excuse for them. People are not filth to be cleaned. People need homes and not just "shelters" that make them throw away their stuff and abandon their families.

Dems introduced amendments to ban all cosmetic surgery for minors in every state that banned gender affirming care for youth. In every single one, Republicans voted it down and no one cared. This line of thinking won't actually do anything.

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

You were warned about this, libs. Stop giving them any ground on their anti trans bigotry because this is what you're handing them.

Bari Weiss’s lecture at UCLA on “the future of journalism” canceled

I'm on the left and I was really excited about the vaccine technology we had coming...

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

in NYC? when hospitals end trans youth care programs, it’s time to ask mamdani about his platform: “…hold private hospital systems denying GAC accountable—hospitals that continue to deny trans youth access to gender affirming care are in violation of NYS Constitution.” www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

ICE has been targeting Indigenous business, resource centers, community hubs, etc in Minneapolis. They even targeted Little Earth of United Tribes, a residential housing community that has at least 98% Indigenous residents. It is where the four Oglala Lakota men they took were living.

Do you not understand that passing the ball back and forth between a fascist and a fascist enabler isn’t actually any kind of solution for building a society that is centered around the people? Do you plan on never losing an election again and somehow the Dems becoming more progressive as a result

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

These people deserve a lot worse than to just quietly 'step down'.

Wishing a very happy Ramadan to Richard Dawkins. I hope this year's lights upset him more than the last ones! Related: check out the Dawkins deepdive where we discuss this incident and more! open.spotify.com/episode/1uSI...

I'm not trying to add snark. I keep hearing versions of this and think it's useful to consider. Let's assume for the sake of argument that it is true that the lower courts are working. That forcing lawyers for immigrants to prove 4,400 times that the .gov breaking the law is the system working. +

"correct natural trajectory" is a horrific phrase.

organizing gets the goods

Yes.

Yes.

Democrats, the normies calling for ICE to be abolished don't like this as a response.

This, basically:

The only democracy in the middle east I'm told!

There's a short video clip of Pinker and Epstein on the plane and a girls voice says "where are you taking me" and this is the still from it. So I don't know what he's talking about.

The Trump administration’s attacks on H-2A wage protections make it harder than ever for farm workers to earn fair pay. This #ValentinesDay, remember: Love means justice. Love means protection. Stand with farmworkers. Show love to the hands that feed us. ❤️#WeFeedYou

The concentration camps are intended to be used for slave labor and these businesses know it. Warehouse workers can help fight this and get better for themselves by unionizing. You're already forklift certified. You can do anything.

Although he's been gone almost 28 years, brother Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael is still teaching you just gotta listen

Yes! Preach! We must understand that capitalism is antiblack! We can’t love ourselves as Black people & buy into capitalism.

Happy Valen-Dean's Day. To celebrate eat lots of delicious food, find a really good stick, be nice to everyone, and know you're awesome.

On this day in 1779, Native Hawaiians stabbed British colonizer Captain James Cook in the neck. 💘🌹
