i'd add to that "feeling uncomfortable and a little ashamed is a totally appropriate thing to feel when you're this late to a party, and feeling them for a minute won't kill you"

LOVE that one.

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

Tin soldiers and HOMELAND coming
We’re finally on our own

his name will be said alongside Chamberlain's in the history books, if there are any.

Star Wars actor says ‘trans rights are human rights’ when asked about Harry Potter Kelly Marie Tran said ‘trans rights are human rights’ when the topic of JK Rowling's Harry Potter series was mentioned in an interview.

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

the thing about technofascists like thiel, musk, marc "da egghead" andreesen is that they would absolutely hook you up to be used as a battery, matrix-style, no hesitation. what makes The Matrix fiction is that these assholes wouldn't bother to create a fantasy world to keep your mind occupied

i try to be a yimby about taxes in general but this is outrageous.

your cube was perfect. your parent was wrong. you have done all you can. now protect your tungsten heart, it's heavy, but it's also precious and strong.

You’re gonna see some Dems & some Thinkpiece Centrists giving Trump credit for “turning the temperature down,” “pivoting to a more restrained approach” “let’s get back to focusing on kitchen table issues” and it is your duty to scream at them until they stop. This moment is an onramp, not an offramp

Whether ICE leaves Minnesota or not, it changes nothing. We will still call for its abolishment and prosecution. Eyes on the prize

the "medieval people didn't know how to draw animals" crowd has been real quiet ever since john siferwas dropped the Perfect Woodcock

i've thought this for a long time. a looming sense in the back of the mind that resources will be more scarce in the future drives xenophobia.

i wish we could bring that fear to front of mind and convert it to collective planning and action to prepare, but very few people have the guts to face it.

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE:
Renee Good: $1,499,580
Alex Pretti: $1,289,249
Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423
Parady La: $45,848
Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991
Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640
Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538
Geraldo Lunas: $2,260
Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

I definitely think one element of this particular response is “we need to find the men who are really running all this.”

Yes, it really does just totally eliminate the corporate income tax, which is expected to bring in about $250M next year.

So Dunleavy wants to institute a sales tax that would, in part, fund lower corporate income taxes.

Neat.

Here's the proposed language and what it'd replace:

new taxes for all of us, a tax cut for corporations.

you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices.

... also photogs and journos gotta eat so share their work.

People forget that not even thirty years ago the California GOP was a viable political force. Taking a hard line on immigration via Prop 187 basically ended it for generations.

A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.

A timelapse of the enormous anti-ICE, anti-Trump protest in Chicago yesterday (Sun Jan 25, 2026).

They’re trying to tell you it’s a Minneapolis story, that protests are small and confined.

They’re lying.

Is it too late to call the discus event “yeeted rivalry”?

There are four living former presidents…

we lived without ICE until 2002 and we can do it again
