Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%). But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

I have to raise the name they had for new employees which y’all won’t believe.

What a good time to celebrate the incredible career, accomplishments, and spirit of Delroy Lindo with this wide-ranging interview with our Jim Hemphill, a fan whose admiration is clear in every word: www.indiewire.com/awards/consi...

Warner Bros. Complained About BAFTA Racial Slur Incident & Requested It Be Cut From BBC Broadcast deadline.com/2026/02/warn... @karenhunter.bsky.social #KarenRebels

It is key to note that this corruption & incompetence may have directly cost the life of Prof. Nuno F.G. Loureiro, murdered by the same gunman 2 days later in MA. This isn't just about a waste of gov resources; a quicker response might have saved this brilliant scientist, dad, & husband's life.

“As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.” Immigrants in Minnesota have been released from detention centers without work permits, Social Security cards, licenses, and other documents that prove their status.

I know I'm late on this one--but I just can't stop thinking about those US hockey team clips. Trump turned Title IX against sexual assault survivors and transgender students in the name of "protecting women's sports." And he was making these kinds of comments behind closed doors the whole time.

“Why would the Democrats refuse to give the president an audience? Because he’s stealing the American people’s money. Because he’s stealing the American people’s rights. Because he’s leading a massive cover-up of the serial crimes of the Epstein class.” www.editorialboard.com/boycotting-t...

NEW FROM ME: The deportation plane stuck in the blizzard took off this morning after 31 hours, but not before exposing a much bigger problem with exceedingly long delays on ICE flights. With exclusive interviews and photos taken by local ICE flight watchers. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/ice-deportat...

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

There is a conceivable future in which Jews in America are put in concentration camps. This would occur if the extreme antisemites/far right win the civil war for the future of the Republican Party. This is not a wild idea: people are already being placed in camps. We would just be one more group.

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Why? There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

My publisher @haymarketbooks.org is offering some of my books at 40% for Black History Month: www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/103-ha...

When you realize that Warner Brothers said "Delete that shit" and the BBC chose to keep it...baby this is why I'm not debating nothing about modern racism. Full grown adults made a lot of choices

Someone tried this with me earlier in my mentions by saying that it was unreasonable for me to assume that he has control over his publicity team because he was a janitor and I am a professor. Incredibly classist infantilization.

The 2025 “Prison Journalist of the Year” says Black history is the foundation her work is built upon.

“Let’s not do anything to upset our abuser.” Just the weakest shit imaginable.

Swing voters see Trump as a fascist dictator and the Democrats as spineless losers. They’re pretty-cleared eyed and correct! Outbursts would at least show these mythical swing voters that Democrats don’t like the Epstein file cover-up, tariffs, ICE, not giving a shit about cost of living, etc.

Normalizing this president IS THE UNFORCED ERROR, SIR

I just found out that Warner Bros reached out to bafta and bbc and requested the moment be edited out of the show prior to going on TV. They still let it air. Fuck y'all.

the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files

Get in loser, we're doing the cancel culture panic again www.public.news/p/end-the-wi...

I made an app. play.google.com/store/apps/d... Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby. I hope it's useful for someone. Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple github.com/yjeanrenaud/... It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making

I lost count of the number of white people who insisted all day yesterday that nobody was harmed. One guy in particular was like “prove it.”

no intercountry #adoptee should ever be subject to deportation. ever. apple.news/Aksu3o76pRta...

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

The Department of Justice has illegally “withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor." The biggest coverup in presidential history just got worse. Release the files.

Oh god, we’re gonna elect a Nazi, aren’t we?

“The Epstein class sexually abuses women and girls with impunity.” “The Epstein class covers up sexual abuses.” “The Epstein class work together to punish people who speak out against what they’re doing.” Look, “the Epstein class” is men.

in particular, Biden very deliberately chose to deprioritize crushing fascism because he believed pursuing normality was the path to electoral success. one of the most sweeping presidential failures in US history.

Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes. If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.

This is voter suppression.

The second case is an absolutely WILD case about a postal service employee refusing to deliver someone's mail because they are Black. The majority is a conservative win, 5-4, with Gorsuch joining the liberals to dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The one line to know here: "after spending extravagantly to try to defeat Mr. Mamdani at the ballot box last year, they [the city’s wealthy + well-connected power players] find themselves in the wilderness, unsure how to approach the administration of a democratic socialist who owes them nothing..."

Pretty (darkly) funny that the public rehab of male hockey players, based solely on the cultural omnipresence of fictional hockey players beloved by women, ended after about a minute and half with a very public reminder that real-life male hockey players are misogynistic bags of rotting dogshit

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

I'm sorry, what?

Haitian director Raoul Peck uses Orwell's 1984 to make a biographical film that serves as a warning about the dangers of totalitarianism today. His new film “2+2 = 5” explores how fragile democracies can be in the face of “alternative facts,” mass surveillance, and media monopolies. #FilmSky 🇭🇹🎬

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

The Network State is a massive tax evasion conspiracy so that venture capitalists don't have to pay taxes on trillions of dollars of crypto wealth. The ideas for the Network State came up in lockstep with crypto development. They don't want to pay taxes on it. Period.

If you think this is me being condescending then you need to a) learn how words work b) learn how this word works c) learn how the internet works d) learn how conversations work and finally e) learn how to conduct yourself in public without performing insecurity like this

my friend outside NY asked me the other day why she hasn't heard about zohran much since he became mayor and my honest answer was that it's because i think he's just doing his job which is actually inherently pretty boring?

i think it's cool how zohran was like, yea i made some mistakes during the first snowstorm, so i'm gonna take everything i learned and do better this time around, and so far it seems like he has. accountability! responsiveness!

A striking stat from Brian Goldstone’s “There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America”

If you haven’t read @brian-goldstone.bsky.social’s book, I cannot overstate how good it is.
