I was there when Homeland Security was created and that is NOT the point of homeland security

Artists remember Nicole Good by @surrhealism.bsky.social I think how sweet this one is 😔

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

Holy fuck they actually did it

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

We wouldn’t need analysis like this if the NY Times didn’t provide cover for the Trump administration and the similar authoritarian policies of countries like Israel, where there is no accountability. They aren’t the heroes.

I remember the screening of Rosa von Praunheim’s films at Toronto’s Cinematheque in the mid 1990s. He attended & it felt like a special night because I was surrounded by smart, progressive queer people (mostly men) who were eager to discuss gay aesthetics, politics & how art fit into the equation.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Anyone know an immigration lawyer that specializes in trans clients and their passports?

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

CNN: You're seeing people really trailing these law enforcement vehicles and throwing snowballs…

Abolish ICE.

Finally got something taken down on Instagram for hate. Their bar is so high that it feels impossible most of the time.

Abolish ICE and prosecute those who committed crimes and spread fear.

This isn't a first-time accusation of apartheid levelled against Israel by the UN (see, news.un.org/en/story/202...). UN rights experts have regularly labelled it apartheid. The question being -- what's the int'l community doing about it? Zilch. So today's news item in Le Monde won't make a dent.

CBS Evening News is now Entertainment Tonight for politicians. Great job.

Is Fetterman even alive or are we at the Feinstein stage of denial?

Merry Christmas or as we say, Քրիստոս ծնաւ եւ յայտնեցաւ:

What a world 😔

O-1B is not particularly consistent with the concept of extraordinarity. There's no reason they should get the reduced standard that immigrant artists don't. But as the regulation stands, algorithm alone should still not be approvable. Followers are not experts.

Soo good. "According to the leaked data, WhiteData had more than 6,500 users, of which 86% men and 14% women. 'A gender ratio that makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia,' Root wrote."

we need more allies doing stuff like this instead of sharing screenshots of content by white supremacists

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

i think people are wildly overestimating the level of strategic thinking behind what just happened in venezuela

Born in 1930 in New York City, Faith Ringgold was a child of the Harlem Renaissance. Her affinity for Black history at large — its music, literature, and art — appears with regularity across her oeuvre.

“The only thing the elite Washington press corps likes more than a bipartisan commission on debt reduction is a stack of flag-draped coffins.” web.archive.org/web/20200103...

This might be the most disgusting cooking channel on YouTube because everything seems to be a version of pour eggs and something else over rice or potatoes. 🤢 youtube.com/@leichtlecke...

Polls show that 70% of Americans oppose the war in Venezuela. But at this CBS News staff meeting, that number feels much smaller.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said the US is going to 'run Venezuela.' Under what legal authority? RUBIO: We want a better future for the people of Venezuela STEPHANOPOULOS: I'll ask again -- what is the legal authority? RUBIO: We have court orders

We all know the NY Times is a mouthpiece of empire.

Find someone who loves you as much as Chuck Schumer loves not doing his job

The shock!

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

Imagine the mental gymnastics of someone who thinks genocide is a valid way to save or safeguard anything. Then again they don’t really think.

"Greg Brockman, the president and co-founder of OpenAI, donated $25 million to a super PAC controlled by allies of President Donald Trump in September, according to a new filing with the Federal Elections Commission."

Small but loud and proud group of Palestine solidarity activists protesting Netanyahu’s visit to Surfside, Miami Beach on 12/31. Happy new year and Free Palestine.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

Well, This is now my second favorite African-Syrian marriage.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

<hanging up my wife's Dedra Meero costume> Honey did you see this story about how Zohran's hot aloof cartoonist wife runs his life

Happy Heated Rivalry Gap Year! 🎆

tfw you're a maker and not a taker

I just cried at an AI video of a mother polar bear saving its cub, and I didn't realize it was AI until I started crying. We're all cooked.

I’m glad the team did this because I really think tracking acquisitions tells you more about the dynamics of an institution and its community than almost anything else could.

It feels good to build a talented and intelligent team and be able to step back to let them do their thing.

Started the first book (Game Changer) and the sex scenes are really a fun read. This is going to be a wonderful series to read and get my mind off things.
