I wish Ben Franklin could crawl down off that wall & stab DJT in the head.

Yes, it does.

Oh, look what I saw on the beach!

do you want to feel absurdly nostalgic? start your rewatch The West Wing were we ever this earnest? did we love pretending we were?

A new “Mamdani” law would deport any US *citizen* considered to be supporting socialism The “Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists” Act — acronym “Mamdani” — specifically targets (not extremists but) the Democratic Socialists of America roy.house.gov

What Happens When the World Is Motherless

I kinda feel that if Joe Biden used the US military to seize another nation's assets and then proceeded to open an offshore Qatar account that he controlled to place those assets, it would probably be a big deal on Fox. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

It's about hierarchy. "Beauty" is subjective, the idea of a black woman portraying the most beautiful woman in the world offends them because white people are supposed to be the most beautiful and it is therefore offensive, it's so straightforwardly racist bsky.app/profile/radl...

linguistic anthropologists everywhere once again vindicated for despising chomsky's work for decades

Roman archaeologist here. These arches were emperors’ propaganda in the Empire, and they’re Orange Julius Caesar’s propaganda now.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

“Hey, can we just talk about life right now without bringing up politics?” “I want to know talk about human biology but can we just ignore blood and bones? And also organs. Tissue as well.” “I just want to focus on matter itself and not carbon. Can you just leave carbon out of everything?”

Charging a Black journalist under the KKK Act for reporting on a protest is a whole new level of fucked up.

The paid out of state agitators are literally the ICE agents.

As a veteran who’s deployed, I know exactly what “in theater” means. It’s a military term for operations in foreign countries. Using it to describe Minneapolis isn’t accidental…and I can’t overemphasize how dangerous that language shift is.

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

Insightful

The remains of a teenage boy who lived around 27,000 years ago suggest he was attacked by a cave bear—some of the first direct evidence of a predator attacking an ancient human

politicians are not coming to save us

One hundred percent of the states without power in below freezing temps today are Republican states. They have bigger problems than ‘illegal immigrants’.

America’s blatant refusal to hold White supremacists accountable for their attempts to destroy this country is why we continue to end up back in the same spot over and over again

Must read by Ta-Nehisi Coates on what happened on Minnesota. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t... Paywall bypass here. archive.ph/0TUGt

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

That last part! These idiot guys out there posting THIS IS ORGANIZED well yes, Dylan, it’s organized in the same way your mom made sure you wore pajamas on pajama day and had regular ortho appointments that didn’t conflict with your football practice and field trips

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

excellent tool for looking into who in your neighborhood is turning a profit via ICE/has DHS contracts www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/v...

There may be some niche examples somewhere, but I cannot think of any system, natural or human-made, that isn't strengthened by more diversity. Ecology, biology, economics, politics, agriculture... am I missing anything? This lesson is reflected everywhere and in everything.

Call me a luddite but I kind of prefer the old version of the Devil who used to put a murrain on crops and command his demon dogs to terrorise church congregations to the new one who insists on having an app for everything and gets rich by designing clever ways of capitalising on people's fatigue.

As nothing compared to what Fox “News” viewers have done to themselves www.sciencealert.com/shrews-can-s...

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.
