Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Come for a critique of the hypocrisy and cynical opportunism of conservative elites - stay for a deep dive into the history of Modern Conservatism, the continuities and radicalizations of a reactionary movement, and the permission structure that has governed rightwing politics:

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Inspiring! Imagine what we could do if we created a functional & public-serving government!

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

Entirely appropriate that anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis are singing a song from the anti-slavery movement in the 1840s.

Some history of this song. It got famous featured in O Brother Where Art Thou, included because Allison Krauss knew it as "Down to the Valley to Pray" having learned it from Doc Watson. But it is much older...

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Stole this idea from @lovebuns.bsky.social

May 30, 2020. Peonies.

None of this is normal

Bedraggled and wet, but this is the first lesser celandine of 2026. 😍 Delighted to catch sight of this little harbinger of spring.

Them beans

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Imagine if they got more competitive about curing diseases or some shit like that instead of this stupid shit that sucks

After getting up this morning, reading Rubio’s speech, and getting angry, I took a much needed walk in the woods. I heartily recommend it.

"Nations reel and stagger on their way; they make hideous mistakes; they commit frightful wrongs; they do great and beautiful things. And shall we not best guide humanity by telling the truth about all this, so far as the truth is ascertainable?" W. E. B. Du Bois, "The Propaganda of History" 🗃️

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

Bill Maher is the prof we need. Centrists are a fucking embarrassment .

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

The Right’s vision of white Christian patriarchal domination is indeed deeply rooted in U.S. history. To counter it, we should take heart from that other American tradition, that boldly democratic promise of egalitarian pluralism. Make MAGA un-American, finally.

Southern "honor culture" has always been a morally degenerate pile of shit. The greatest mistake this country ever made was not following up the Civil War by imprisoning the South's leaders, confiscating & distributing their property, & building something decent in their place.

The thing is: The argument that America had undergone a massive rightward shift was less a factual contention and more an ideological assertion, an article of faith. It has proven to be a stubbornly resistant myth that is exceedingly hard to kill – just like the idea that “there are no protests.”

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Bad Bunny made the message clear. The rest of the world made their message clear: We can move on without Donald Trump. We can move on without MAGA. MAGA is not America. MAGA and America are not the world. Let their ideas rot in the last millennium. #MAGA #ICEOUT #BadBunny #Trump

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

True art. True humanity. What the struggle is all about.

Acive duty military are being ordered to buy a ticket to Melania and watch it, whether they want to, or not. www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/mil...

Tech Bros operate like some kind of comicbook supervillain drug dealer. They find something that people like, buy it from the person who made it, and then turn it into radioactive poison once they've eliminated all other alternatives. You can apply this to any tech over the last 3 decades.

How do we feel about carrots, Bluesky?

Tariffs are showing up on your bill hidden in the price of products that are significantly higher now than they were before tariffs. Imported agricultural machinery cost more. Businesses aren't taking the big hits; they're passing most of the tariffs to customers/consumers. #TrumpFumbled economy.
