We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

Anti-trans bigots lie, all the time, about everything.

A Republican law that made the deepest cuts in history to the largest federal anti-hunger program comes as millions of Americans — and thousands of Ohioans — already aren't getting benefits for which they're eligible, according to a new analysis. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/02/06/n...

she's one-upped Michael Caine, she got to sing with Kermit the Frog AND Miss Piggy

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Gonna start wearing my library card on a chain around my neck to ward off evil cause excuse me

People get prickly about these requests bc they see them as individual critiques but they're really efforts to set norms and build culture around sharing information, which feels very meaningful and worthwhile to me in this moment.

Please remember that so much of "AI" is just an office full of employees in a country whose wages are much lower than they should be.

Here are Ramsey County's mug shots for Jake Lang.

Periodically I think about how hard some of them worked to normalize every single step of this and how hard they're dancing now in hopes you forget it

oh oh oh my God

When you know how to illustrate sewing patterns, but not how to hold a football.

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

Chappell Roan do you know who Bull Nakano is

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!

Hey remember back when Russian dash cam videos were everywhere and it was a big sign that the state had basically collapsed and people had to record everything to be safe? Yeah, well guess what that's us now. Buy dash cams for MPLS. www.amazon.com/registries/g...

I'm calling it right now: Pop Up Leftist Supply Depot is gonna be the dark horse winning @romancingthevote.com theme of 2026 lol

i don't see a lot of conversation about secular conversion therapy, but it's incredibly brutal, definitely not just "bad talk therapy." my therapist gaslit me into thinking my own mind was a fabrication, that my desires, goals, etc were delusons. all an effort to break me and rebuild me as a woman.

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

Me to myself: "Have the made the Klingons hot now or is it just the actor that's hot?" I was not prepared, damn. He's stunning.

Okay, you guys wanted some fun tea on Richard Dawkins? Here you go: one reason he may have gotten super duper angry about me talking about misogyny in atheism skepchick.org/2026/02/epst...

Massachusetts could become the latest state to address the incarceration of abuse survivors, who often end up in the prison system for fighting back.

For my DS9 folks: Watch the episode of Starfleet Academy that dropped today, before you get spoiled, just trust me.

This is your PSA about mask building and projects: You need to start at LEAST a week before your holiday, party, convention, or event if you've never made one of my masks! Starting 2 weeks ahead is best so you have a relaxed time making & painting. Mardi Gras is the 17th! paleopanthera.com/masks

I know we were all boycotting this bin fire already because of the appalling way they treated Melissa Barrera, but wait there's more!

Today's hyper-specific question for my farm friends -- when it's winter, and you have an animal with horns who's been outside for a while, do the horns cool down with the weather so they're chilly to the touch, or is there enough bloodflow/connection to the body that they're warm, or does it depend?

There's two main reasons there's a segment of society against UBI 1. THOSE people, CERTAIN people will get FREE THINGS!!!! THAT I AM PAYING FOR!!!! This thinking is wrong and bad. If one truly believes that...more money is being spent on all the other bullshit that doesn't help. 2. Divorce.

Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.

A 3-year-old gray wolf died last week as a state wildlife team tried to place a collar on the animal to monitor its activity across the state, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said Tuesday. coloradosun.com/2026/02/03/w...

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises Staff claim promised bonuses and insurance have failed to materialise, with some reporting they cannot afford medical care for sick children www.ibtimes.co.uk/ice-employee...

I have nothing but good things to say about bookshop.org and it pees me off how creators think they need to self-publish through crappy Amazon or nothing, so this sounds really good! Get stuck in, everybody.

The entire annual operating losses of the Washington Post amount to a single-digit percentage of the everyday noise in the signal of its owner's finances

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.

YUSSSS! More places for the covid cautious..

i say this with love because everyone starts somewhere, but it's just that, sometimes you see someone with a massive platform and they're like "it kind of seems like republicans favor the rich?"

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I don’t think we appreciate exactly how many breadcrumbs Senator Wyden leaves for the public, or how often. He’s not an alarmist either, but someone with literal decades of experience with US intelligence.

he is such a useless piece of shit. jesus christ.

Mazel tov to Phylisa Wisdom on being appointed to head the @mayor.nyc.gov Office to Combat Antisemitism. @phylisawisdom.bsky.social is the perfect person for the job. I’ve had the blessing to watch her lead @nyjewishagenda.bsky.social in many critical moments.

In a few short months, @DianaforQueens built an incredible coalition and ran a movement campaign that earned nearly 75% of the vote last night. I'm grateful that she will serve out my term in the Assembly, and hopefully many to come. Astoria is in good hands.

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

They have achieved 10 to 1 force superority over ICE
