This is the time that we opened for The Cramps, Danceteria, on Halloween as “it crawled from the south” and we only played songs about death. I wore a pink gingham bunny suit complete with bunny ears mitts and footies. The sweatshirt came off after the first song. Photo by Laura Levine. 1982? ‘83?

The King is mad

every single democrat who doesn’t start their statement with “this is illegal under domestic and international law and therefore i oppose it” needs to go

I’ve been obsessed with this band for over a week now. They’re a Quebecois duo that’s skyrocketing into viral fame following this virtuosic KEXP performance which released on February 5. They’re a great reminder that artistic weirdness can be magic.

Happy almost embarrass yourself by telling someone they have a smudge on their forehead day to all who celebrate.

we need to back to when lunatic billionaires could be satisfied with keeping their piss in jars and building massive seaplanes.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

“What motivates Trump? The answer is simple: racism. You might also say ego and raw self-interest, but the two are connected. “ Gift article www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

jaw on the floor here:

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Fuck all these fascists and their supporters!

the biggest concern everyone has right now is that democrats will rally around a set of weak reforms. but another thing to watch is them abolishing ICE in name only - shuffling the agency around and renaming it while keeping the personnel and culture in place.

“But the goal must be demoralization. It needs to be made clear to every ICE agent that, should they remain with ICE, they will soon be unemployed and potentially under investigation. “

"GOP is more interested in protecting a murderer than keeping the government open" is an easy message

damn, surprised they didn’t go for this one

The #ICElist is here.

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

Republican and Democratic governors alike need to stand up and speak out. We have got to stand together against the onslaught of the federal government under Donald Trump.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

it still disturbs me that a death squad summarily executed a veteran's ICU nurse and public health researcher in the streets, and most of the democratic senate felt it was acceptable to release lukewarm statements. what the fuck is wrong with these people

If any one dem Senator was brave enough to be against unanimous consent on every bill until ICE was abolished it would bring everything to a grinding halt. The fact they haven’t shows they are either complicit or scared.

It just now strikes me that the United States, unlike every other democracy in the world, has never ever ever had an early presidential election. This seems like a problem? Like you need to have an institutionalized path for designating an entire administration illegitimate and voting for a new one?

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

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.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Lots of talk about Greenland having a great flag? But their coat of arms is also a banger.

Seems bad, right?

Anyway, once again, this could all stop if a small handful of Republicans in Congress grew a spine

“Democrats obscured Biden’s cognitive decline” is really being blown out of the water by “Republicans are embracing and profiting from Trump’s cognitive decline.”

Post a car picture you took

Robert Mueller is going to nail this guy any day now...

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press. Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

AOC: I’m very encouraged by statements from Senator Tillis and Senator Murkowski, but it is frankly very disturbing that we are not seeing more resistance across the board.
