People keep complaining about the red hats because they’re not “real” protest but that lady has raised and donated over $600,000 to her neighbors in MN *and* is the the daughter of a refugee from Egypt. Y’all gotta sit with those impulses and then calm tf down and think about WHY you feel dismissive

I’ve been thinking about it all day and I’ve decided that the golden snake with golden eyes that can snap at cars and spit fire should be the symbol of New York under Mamdani

Pour one out for this banger Onion article, which I apparently no longer have a reason to post regularly.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

I mean, I’d try to talk to you. Except I would respect the headphone barrier!

They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more.

Fuck them.

Naah, I want them on trial.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

I really wish we could take some of the negative valence off of “performative” because performance is tremendously important right now especially

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

“Headlines call it a ‘crackdown’ on immigration and a “clash” between the government and ‘protesters,’ when in reality it’s murderous occupying forces being confronted by people who just want to live free of their violence.”

This is a tough storm to clear considering how much of it is ice and how cold it's going to be for the next weeks, but as always, the problem is that Sanitation plows the snow out of the roadway, which means it blocks the sidewalks and bus stops, and no one trails behind to do adequate removal.

I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle.

No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.

One of the things I keep thinking about re: school closures/shifts to remote learning for safety precautions (or families needing to keep kids home for safety) is what’s happening with students who typically get free breakfast/lunch at school. That’s a lot of meals lost.

"This long ago stopped being a campaign of organized immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government."

The City of Minneapolis again demands that ICE leave the city and state immediately. We stand by our immigrant and refugee communities – know that you have our full support.

Gourmet Magazine Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

Timeline cleanse: Mamdani governing like Fred Rogers (compliment).

Notice it’s two of the people in American public life who risked the most to support Palestine who are out here exemplifying kindness and joy and love with kids more than just about any other American politician ever could.
