Back from the dentist's with the weirdest directive ever: Now that the problem is fixed, you need to retrain the muscles to chew evenly, so go buy some gum. Never had a dentist encourage me to chew gum before. Exciting!

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

The Trump administration moves to strip 50,000 agency staff of civil service protections & give himself the power to fire them without just cause. This... www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

This is NOT unprecedented. On this day in 1917, Congress passed the Immigration Act to block “undesirable” immigrants. A ban on Asian, Mexican, & Mediterranean migrants. Meanwhile white migrants were given land via the Homestead Act. Trump wants to revive this fascism. Do not let him.

They haven't de-escalated SHIT. They have escalated harassment of observers and people exercising their First Amendment rights. This CNN report is a lie that focuses on only one narrow point.

WaPo specifically making cuts to its most subscriber load-bearing sections like Sports and Metro while doubling down on commentary, which frequently does little for your bottom line, really underlines how much this is about what they want the Post to be, rather than what a good newspaper actually is

So I guess it *wasn't* cool when Musk called a hero who saved children a pedo???

This is a great documentary, and there's never NOT a good time to watch it, but Black History Month sure is a good time to do so.

hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

This. I'd heard good things about this movie but man, it was a hell of a lot more fun than even I'd expected. 8/10 overall, but 11/10 for that One Scene In The Barn. (iykyk) #horrorsky

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

i’m just so tired of donald trump man

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe DON'T go to Upscrolled... the nazi infestation over there looks pretty serious.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes. This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

if you’re feeling like shit and need to keep going, I have an extremely important reason for you: I need you to outlive Schumer with me because his future gravesite is BEGGING to become an all genders bathroom and I can’t possibly piss enough all by myself

Green Day bringing back a classic anti-fascism hit to support Minnesota. "Sieg Heil to the President Gasman Bombs away is your punishment Pulverize the Eiffel Towers Who criticize your government" #MusicForTheRevolution www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsnu...

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

It's almost like Broligarchs are antithetical to a free press. Fuck the Washington Post and Fuck Bezos.

This one's not new - it's ten years old, but still just as relevant as ever. "Whatcha gonna do When they show up in black suits On your street in army boots And they're there to silence you?" #MusicForTheRevolution www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Ol...

And I feel like Jesse Wells deserves his own thread. Yes, I know, he missed the mark on that one song, but that's still way more good stuff than bad. #MusicForTheRevolution www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUEI...

And the Dropkick Murphys have updated Citizen C.I.A. to Citizen I.C.E. with Austin from Haywire. "Too scared to join the military, too dumb to be a cop" #MusicForTheRevolution www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUj2...

Even black metal's in. "they're killing again out in the streets and they're killing again burn the kings men they're out in the streets and they're killing again when will it end the killing won't stop till they're all fucking dead burn the kings men off with their heads" #MusicForTheRevolution

I try to limit promoting any video with AI, but you know what, I'm gonna make an exception for this one. As a protest song this one's a hell of a lot of fun to sing along with. #MusicForTheRevolution

Viva la revolution from Boston, too! (Gotta click through to hear it, but it's a cool song.) #MusicForTheRevolution porchpartymamas.com/single/16756...

"They use tear gas and pepper spray Against our whistles and our phones But in this city of heroes We will protect our home" #MusicForTheRevolution

"Their claim was self defense, sir Just don’t believe your eyes It’s our blood and bones And these whistles and phones Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies" #MusicForTheRevolution

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Ah yes, so when someone attacks Ilhan Omar, it's *checks notes* her own fault, but when someone attacks Charlie Kirk, it's *checks notes again* every Democrat evers fault and definitely not Kirk's fault. Fuck these hypocritical bastards.

First and foremost, fuck Ron Johnson, and not in any fun way. I hope his constituents crucify him.

GOOD.

One year into Trump’s second term, some journalists have been “surprised” by the administration’s organized agenda. But Project 2025 was publicly available. Advocacy groups read it and warned us. The press read it and… 🤷‍♀️ www.readtpa.com/p/this-is-li...

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Forbes misses the mark once again. Judging by his voting record, Fetterman is a Republican in Dem's clothing. He's in no way a moderate Democrat.

The thing about Greg Bovino being pulled out of the fray is that he’s not in charge of ICE. That’s Todd Lyon. In either case we’re gonna need to Abolish CBP and Abolish ICE

Followed up my movie watching for the night with the 2025 comedy Code 3 and holy shit, I was not prepared for how good this is, in the way that good comedies give you ALL the emotions, not just humor but rage and sorrow, too. All that stuff that makes us human. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wsh...

Controversial opinion: I enjoyed the second half of 28 Years Later FAR MORE than the first half of the film. I know I'm late to the party only seeing it now, but I really liked the possibilities this movie opened up, and looking forward to seeing the Bone Temple now. #horrorsky

Seriously, delete TikTok. Delete Instagram. Move to platforms that don't use algorithms to control what you see, and leave the moment enshittification destroys the experience. Stop being loyal to software that wants to exploit you. Put down your spoon and escape from the Terrible Trivium.

Again, I say, delete TikTok.

This is a pet peeve for me, but I do get the anger about “why isn’t the media doing this or that.” It has either been captured by ghouls or is gone. I am begging people to let go of the idea of news industry or media you had when you were younger. let’s all adapt pls: www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

Had to backtrack from all the "Signal is compromised" jokes to find the joke that started it all... this guy really believing he's some kind of superspy for getting into an intentionally easy-to-join ICE tracking and monitoring group.

I hate to say this but good - Bezos ruined the Post. We need a new free press. Too many broligarchs out there owning the media all trying to be the next William Randolph Hearst, helping create wars on Venezuela, Greenland and our own people. Democracy dies with Bezos.

The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.
