Pay close attention to who isn't on here.

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

An update from Jessie Fuentes

"we recommend you take some ibuprofen beforehand" is doctor code for "this minor procedure is going to HURT a LOT"

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ta-Nehisi Coates not saying anything

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.

on an X9 Ashland Express bus that is immediately behind a regular 9 Ashland bus so it’s not actually any faster :(((((((((

the idea that you could just pass specific bills on specific areas with simple majorities is just beyond the ability and comprehension of most lawmakers in congress it seems

so cute! do you print these with just a regular printer? any special method of cutting them out?

It is not in any way "worse" when cops assault journalists instead of protesters.

It's all the same violence; it's all wrong and horrific.

What's notable is the intentionality behind what happened today, esp when paired with DHS accusing anyone recording their activities of intimidating *them.*

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT

"he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality

"this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening

START WITH WHAT IT IS
not what it isn't

Not an exaggeration to say that the prerogative piece of the ADU ordinance is only possible because Trump essentially ended civil rights enforcement at HUD—it’s exactly what the Biden admin was investigating/pursuing a settlement around

a potato quality photo of multiple cops in a parking lot. a group of three stand in a circle next to a blue suv. the cop facing away from the camera is wearing a green vest with yellow lettering that spells "sheriff."

a shield-shaped ice badge

NOT ICE: multiple reports floating around social media today purport to show ice activity when they actually show local police.

if an agent's vest says "sheriff" or a local police department, it's not ice.

also pay attention to badges. illinois police use stars, while federal agents use shields.

wasn't unanounced by CTA or by the Chamber of Commerce but yeah it's for the "uptown live" festival this whole weekend

The continued absence of Laura Fine and Hoan Huynh in particular should be noted.

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.

“As regards the details of the "crimes" of which the 5 are accused, Dr. Goebbels mentions that they made political witticisms about the colonial problem, the 4-Year Plan and Hitler's monumental building program and one of them even raised the question of whether there was any humor left in Germany.”

I think a lot of what people are calling "capitulation" would be better understood as "support"

They’re scary, but more than that they’re scared

“let’s appeal to the democratic base…
by becoming republicans !!!!

surely all those non voters are just waiting for the right flavor of soulless husk”

Protests are fun because they're informal. You scribble something on a piece of poster board, put on comfy shoes and just head towards the noise

there is no folly of the beasts of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men

One of the goals of an authoritarian project is to make it really hard to have time to do much more than just your regular life stuff so almost anything you do that helps people take back their time or their power or connect them more deeply to organized community work has tremendous value.

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…
