The U.S. spending $20B to bail out Argentina seems completely random until you find out that hedge fund billionaires bet on their right wing government’s doomed economic plan and could lose a lot of money. So this is actually a U.S. hedge fund bailout which explains why Trump cares.

You should make more money TEACHING children than you do ZIP TYING them.

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end. Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle. Your twentysomething niece has fallen for the okie doke just as easily as your Boomer uncle.

Young Republicans are praising Hitler. Here's why Democrats are to blame.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

America is spending $20B of your tax dollars to ensure Argentina continues to have free healthcare while the US government is shutdown because it can’t afford to give you a discount on healthcare premiums? Make it make sense.

“We’re saving God by shooting priests in the head with crowd control weapons” is generally something you only get in the most unhinged JRPGs from the SNES era

“The smartest design move isn’t chasing trends, it’s planting the tree and letting time do the work,” writes Dave Snyder. “Trees don’t pay off tomorrow. They pay off in a decade. They compound quietly, making everything around them better…” [designobserver.com]

Another reason we need new leadership. It is one thing to fail to achieve your goal, and another to misrepresent your failure as a success. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Hey @hrbrmstr.dev - Spare a few min to chat? Looks like we're not mutual follows so I can't dm you.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo humorously criticizes Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, leading to laughter from CNN's Boris Sanchez.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

I really want you guys to watch this speech from Russell T Davies, the guy who brought Doctor Who back, and did Queer as Folk and loads of other iconic shows at the Welsh BAFTAs recently about censorship and TV and the rise of the far right. It is amazing. www.reddit.com/r/GreenAndPl...

We've reached our new protest song era 💪🏽

Ok, this is just funny. isportlandburning.com

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Out for delivery!!!

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

The epigraph to Neil Postman’s “Technopoly”

It’s hard to conceive of one’s political opponents in a liberal democracy as being loyal to that democracy when they’re using the military on American citizens against the wishes of legitimate local authorities, and talking openly about doing much worse.

Younger veteran: "How old are you, man?" Older veteran: “87.” Younger veteran: “Out here getting arrested, raising hell at 87.” Older veteran: “It’s just beginning.” 🦅 🦅 🦅 #ResistanceUnited 🔥 🔥 🔥

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

If you can hear this image, it's probably time to schedule your colonoscopy. If you can sing the whole song, it's also time to get your shingles vaccine.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

Journalism and teaching are some of the most valuable yet thankless jobs in our society. I want to thank everyone who wakes up in the morning excited to teach others or inform their fellow humans for terrible pay.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell. Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social nails it in this episode of “Today Explained” on how the corrupting force of power as the main theme of “Lord of the Rings”… 1/ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... “…but it's also a tale of how corruptible good can be. Good gets corrupted when it adopts evil's tools…”

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I am once again asking the Democratic Party to believe this man when he says he wants to declare war on us. If you know anything about how Trump operates, he will always tell you what he wants to do, and then *try and do it*

Obviously this is unconscionable, but I think it’s worth always stressing that even it they’d been drug traffickers, it would ALSO be unconscionable. We don’t summarily execute criminals

“Now Lucy, I know we’ve had our differences in the past vis a vis you pulling away the football, but this time, THIS TIME, I really trust that you’re not going to pull it away. I trust you, Lucy, and not just because of the twenty nine concussions I’ve received from falling after missing the ball.”
