You think it’s bad at *your* workplace?? www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

What word do you consistently mistype? You know how to spell it, but your fingers get it wrong. I almost always come up with “vocer” instead of “cover,” as one example.

It’s almost as though our government were run by a secret cabal of sex traffickers.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

As you may have heard, Trump bragged about a supposed weapon used in Venezuela that he claims to have dubbed the Discombobulator. “Sir, is there any chance the Discombobulator is on now?” asks Colbert. “I would not describe your recent behavior as, uh, ‘combobulated.’”

Pop singer Lorde will donate the $204,000 she made on merchandise sales from her sold-out Minneapolis shows last fall to two Minnesota immigrant rights groups.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Epstein discussed with Ross an idea for a show of photos of underage people called “Statutory.” www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

It’s almost as though our government is run by a cabal of child pornographers. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JOURNALISTS, STOP SAYING “ACCORDING TO PEOPLE FAMILIAR.” FAMILIAR TO WHO?

Key quote from the judge's order releasing Liam Ramos & his father: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

As many have noted, they might not behave the way they do if they thought there was any possibility they would one day lose power and be in the minority, and they’ll take away your rights to hold on to their positions.

Look, the world is crazy right now, so you need a diversion, right? Well, twenty years ago this month I published a @nymag.com article about a truly wild experience I had with a roommate. Check it out! nymag.com/news/feature...

Wow -- incredible!!!

Foley Square, New York, 4pm today. No Kings! No ICE! No KKK, no fascist USA!

I’d rather be prepared. I ordered mine. I got maced by a cop once and I’d just as soon avoid ever feeling that sensation again, thank you very much. Thank you @sarahjeong.bsky.social! www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Days like this, I am incredibly thankful I get to be a writer. I talked to art-world people in Minneapolis. Here’s what they said. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
